that_o the_o saint_n by_o their_o now_o be_v saint_n do_v now_o judge_v the_o world_n 151_o wherein_o heb._n 11.7_o be_v clear_v from_o a_o objection_n 2_o hence_o let_v the_o world_n learn_v that_o when_o any_o one_o sinner_n be_v convert_v there_o be_v one_o judge_n more_o to_o sit_v upon_o they_o 153_o 3_o hence_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o it_o concern_v all_o the_o world_n to_o take_v

that_o reprove_v nay_o let_v a_o man_n be_v unblameable_a for_o the_o present_a if_o he_o have_v be_v faulty_a before_o if_o it_o be_v seven_o or_o ten_o or_o twenty_o year_n before_o if_o it_o be_v

if_o it_o be_v never_o so_o long_o ago_o therefore_o st._n paul_n will_v not_o consent_v to_o take_v mark_n with_o he_o in_o the_o ministry_n act_n 15._o because_o he_o have_v be_v offensive_a to_o

of_o doctrine_n that_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o destroy_v man_n willing_o willing_o he_o say_v not_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v destroy_v without_o remedy_n but_o a_o man_n when_o he_o have_v sin_v

upon_o consideration_n of_o sin_n simile_n willing_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o afflict_v any_o lament_v 3._o mercy_n and_o punishment_n they_o flow_v from_o god_n as_o the_o honey_n and_o the_o sting_n
