do_v not_o only_o call_v for_o ministerial_a help_n and_o advice_n in_o a_o more_o especial_a manner_n but_o also_o give_v opportunity_n and_o advantage_n for_o counsel_n or_o reproof_n therefore_o we_o resolve_v to_o be_v as_o diligent_a in_o visit_v the_o sick_a and_o afflict_a as_o other_o labour_n greatness_n of_o our_o charge_n and_o ability_n to_o go_v abroad_o will_v suffer_v we_o and_o that_o not_o only_o the_o rich_a and_o those_o that_o desire_v we_o but_o also_o the_o poor_a and_o those_o that_o send_v not_o for_o we_o 8._o see_v we_o be_v in_o scripture_n command_v to_o love_v all_o man_n and_o as_o much_o as_o in_o we_o lie_v to_o follow_v peace_n with_o all_o and_o yet_o warn_v to_o reserve_v our_o brotherly_a kindness_n and_o delight_n for_o those_o that_o walk_v holy_o therefore_o we_o resolve_v in_o our_o society_n as_o well_o as_o in_o dispense_v of_o ordinance_n to_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o precious_a and_o the_o vile_a and_o though_o we_o intend_v not_o to_o deny_v that_o charity_n help_v civility_n and_o duty_n that_o we_o owe_v unto_o the_o scandalous_a yet_o will_v we_o bestow_v our_o love_n of_o complacency_n only_o on_o those_o that_o order_n their_o conversation_n aright_o lest_o by_o intimacy_n with_o wicked_a man_n we_o strengthen_v the_o hand_n of_o evil_a doer_n grieve_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o godly_a and_o ensnare_v our_o own_o soul_n 9_o see_v the_o sin_n of_o sabbath-breaking_n swear_v fornication_n and_o drunkenness_n be_v so_o abominable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o man_n and_o yet_o so_o frequent_a we_o resolve_v beside_o the_o reprove_n of_o these_o sin_n in_o public_a and_o private_a to_o endeavour_v to_o bring_v such_o offender_n to_o the_o punishment_n of_o the_o law_n in_o thosed_a case_n

church_n public_o and_o solemn_o to_o renew_v the_o covenant_n with_o god_n and_o because_o in_o this_o age_n temptation_n to_o apostasy_n and_o backslide_n from_o the_o faith_n be_v strong_a and_o frequent_a and_o because_o our_o heart_n be_v so_o ready_a to_o start_v aside_o from_o the_o power_n of_o discipline_n that_o we_o daily_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o all_o possible_a obligation_n to_o

a_o profession_n of_o their_o consent_n to_o submit_v unto_o and_o accept_v of_o the_o term_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n to_o take_v the_o lord_n for_o their_o god_n to_o walk_v in_o his_o

by_o a_o rash_a and_o groundless_a exclusion_n therefore_o in_o the_o judge_v and_o determine_v of_o people_n present_a fitness_n for_o that_o sacrament_n we_o resolve_v to_o set_v before_o we_o these_o follow_a rule_n both_o in_o point_n of_o knowledge_n and_o scandal_n in_o point_n of_o knowledge_n 1._o because_o the_o truth_n of_o grace_n be_v utter_o inconsistent_a with_o a_o total_a
