1_o cor._n 1._o begin_v when_o you_o be_v gather_v together_o and_o my_o spirit_n with_o the_o power_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o deliver_v such_o a_o one_o unto_o satan_n for_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o flesh_n that_o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v save_v in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n so_o he_o also_o enjoin_v they_o joint_o to_o concur_v in_o the_o readmission_n of_o that_o excommunicate_v person_n 8._o 2_o cor._n 2_o 8._o when_o he_o have_v give_v sufficient_a evidence_n of_o his_o unfeigned_a repentance_n sufficient_a to_o such_o a_o man_n be_v this_o punishment_n which_o be_v inflict_v of_o many_o many_o not_o the_o minister_n alone_o but_o with_o his_o people_n so_o that_o contrariwise_o you_o the_o same_o many_o ought_v to_o forgive_v he_o and_o comfort_v he_o lest_o perhaps_o such_o a_o one_o shall_v be_v swallow_v up_o with_o overmuch_a sorrow_n wherefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o that_o you_o will_v confirm_v your_o love_n towards_o he_o wherefore_o suppose_v that_o a_o minister_n shall_v know_v a_o person_n to_o be_v most_o unworthy_a of_o fellowship_n and_o most_o worthy_a of_o excommunication_n yet_o if_o his_o crime_n be_v such_o as_o he_o ought_v not_o to_o reveal_v and_o his_o people_n be_v ignorant_a of_o it_o and_o contend_v for_o his_o continuance_n with_o they_o he_o may_v probable_o suspend_v his_o own_o act_n but_o it_o will_v be_v no_o way_n adviseable_a to_o proceed_v to_o a_o formal_a censure_n and_o authoritative_a excommunication_n because_o so_o more_o hurt_n will_v redound_v to_o the_o church_n then_o good_a and_o minister_n ought_v not_o only_o not_o to_o do_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v unlawful_a but_o also_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o do_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v imprudent_a and_o inexpedient_a wherefore_o see_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v commit_v to_o minister_n be_v these_o spiritual_a heavenly_a evangelical_a thing_n infinite_o more_o excellent_a rich_a and_o glorious_a than_o all_o the_o riches_n and_o mine_n and_o concern_v of_o this_o life_n which_o be_v nothing_o in_o comparison_n of_o they_o therefore_o their_o stewardship_n be_v more_o noble_a and_o excellent_a more_o useful_a and_o profitable_a than_o any_o other_o 5._o it_o will_v also_o appear_v if_o we_o consider_v the_o ratification_n of_o all_o the_o act_n of_o this_o stewardship_n by_o god_n and_o christ_n in_o heaven_n all_o that_o they_o due_o perform_v in_o their_o stewardship_n according_a to_o god_n word_n clare_n non_fw-la erante_fw-la either_o in_o word_n or_o deed_n be_v confirm_v by_o god_n in_o heaven_n and_o shall_v be_v make_v good_a for_o ever_o and_o ever_o the_o threat_n that_o they_o pronounce_v against_o sinner_n and_o hypocrite_n in_o their_o preach_v how_o presumptuous_a or_o secure_a soever_o they_o be_v shall_v certain_o be_v inflict_v by_o god_n if_o they_o persevere_v to_o be_v so_o and_o all_o the_o promise_n and_o blessing_n that_o they_o proclaim_v to_o the_o godly_a and_o sincere_a what_o sad_a hard_a dismal_a next_o door_n to_o despair_a thought_n they_o may_v have_v of_o themselves_o shall_v certain_o be_v make_v good_a by_o god_n and_o so_o whoever_o they_o exclude_v from_o the_o privilege_n of_o the_o militant_a church_n here_o on_o earth_n shall_v be_v exclude_v from_o those_o of_o the_o triumphant_a church_n in_o heaven_n according_a to_o those_o scripture_n already_o quote_v whatsoever_o you_o shall_v bind_v on_o earth_n shall_v be_v bind_v in_o heaven_n and_o whatsoever_o you_o shall_v loose_v on_o earth_n shall_v be_v loose_v in_o heaven_n whosoever_o sin_n you_o remit_v they_o be_v remit_v and_o whosoever_o sin_n you_o retain_v they_o be_v retain_v and_o thus_o we_o have_v prove_v that_o minister_n be_v steward_n and_o have_v show_v the_o excellency_n of_o their_o stewardship_n and_o proceed_v to_o the_o application_n 1._o use_v of_o information_n it_o serve_v to_o inform_v we_o 1._o in_o the_o great_a usefulness_n and_o
