gracious_a and_o merciful_a unto_o we_o we_o shall_v not_o for_o all_o that_o be_v glorify_v in_o christ_n and_o thus_o much_o of_o the_o three_o part_n of_o this_o epistle_n the_o second_o chapter_n vers._n 1._o we_o beseech_v you_o brethren_z by_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o by_o our_o assemble_v unto_o he_o 2._o that_o you_o be_v not_o sudden_o move_v from_o your_o

any_o mean_n the_o four_o part_n of_o this_o epistle_n follow_v which_o be_v a_o brotherly_a admonition_n wherein_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v 1._o the_o form_n 2._o the_o matter_n in_o the_o form_n the_o apostle_n express_v with_o what_o heart_n and_o affection_n he_o admonish_v they_o and_o therein_o be_v a_o worthy_a precedent_n unto_o all_o christian_n what_o love_v heart_n and_o feel_a affection_n they_o ought_v to_o bring_v with_o they_o in_o admonish_v one_o of_o another_o and_o first_o he_o style_v they_o as_o in_o the_o sense_n and_o feel_n of_o that_o spirit_n by_o which_o he_o write_v he_o esteem_v they_o brethren_n wherein_o he_o declare_v not_o only_o a_o special_a love_n and_o affection_n to_o the_o cause_n but_o also_o to_o the_o person_n of_o they_o he_o admonish_v for_o the_o person_n of_o brethren_n where_o there_o be_v any_o nature_n or_o grace_n among_o they_o be_v dear_a one_o unto_o another_o in_o regard_n of_o that_o natural_a bond_n whereby_o they_o be_v mutual_o knit_v one_o to_o another_o so_o that_o in_o this_o very_a name_n of_o brother_n which_o he_o give_v they_o there_o shine_v a_o great_a love_n and_o affection_n in_o the_o apostle_n towards_o the_o person_n of_o all_o in_o this_o church_n and_o from_o this_o love_n do_v this_o admonition_n flow_v and_o from_o the_o like_a love_n and_o affection_n ought_v all_o christian_a admonition_n to_o flow_v will_v thou_o effectual_o admonish_v a_o other_o thou_o can_v never_o do_v it_o until_o thou_o show_v thyself_o a_o brother_n unto_o he_o thou_o must_v let_v he_o see_v that_o thy_o admonition_n stream_v a_o brotherly_a affection_n and_o that_o that_o be_v the_o very_a ground_n and_o cause_n thereof_o so_o that_o if_o thou_o do_v not_o esteem_v and_o love_v he_o as_o a_o brother_n thou_o will_v not_o admonish_v he_o on_o the_o contrary_a side_n those_o admonition_n that_o flow_v from_o gall_n and_o choler_n or_o from_o malice_n and_o hatred_n of_o the_o person_n admonish_v be_v no_o christian_a admonition_n neither_o can_v we_o expect_v any_o blessing_n on_o they_o but_o rather_o that_o the_o party_n admonish_v shall_v be_v the_o worse_a for_o they_o it_o be_v brotherly_a admonition_n that_o christ_n will_v bless_v neither_o be_v it_o possible_a for_o we_o to_o admonish_v they_o brotherly_o who_o we_o do_v no_o not_o esteem_v and_o affect_v as_o brethren_n 2._o in_o this_o admonition_n he_o love_o entreat_v and_o beseech_v they_o to_o take_v heed_n unto_o themselves_o as_o he_o call_v they_o brethren_n so_o he_o behave_v himself_o towards_o they_o as_o a_o brother_n in_o the_o whole_a tenor_n of_o his_o admonition_n for_o in_o meek_a sweet_a and_o brotherly_a manner_n he_o pray_v and_o beseech_v they_o to_o beware_v and_o to_o take_v heed_n and_o do_v not_o in_o a_o imperious_a and_o control_a manner_n require_v the_o same_o though_o he_o be_v their_o superior_a wherein_o he_o show_v a_o tender_a and_o compassionate_a heart_n esteem_v their_o danger_n to_o err_v as_o it_o be_v his_o own_o hurt_n and_o their_o freedom_n from_o error_n as_o his_o own_o good_a for_o when_o man_n of_o their_o own_o mere_a motion_n do_v become_v suitor_n and_o suppliant_n unto_o other_o though_o it_o be_v for_o other_o yet_o they_o declare_v therein_o that_o they_o themselves_o have_v a_o interest_n in_o that_o good_a which_o they_o sue_v for_o the_o apostle_n carry_v not_o himself_o as_o we_o often_o use_v to_o do_v in_o our_o admonition_n and_o warning_n of_o other_o he_o bid_v they_o not_o in_o a_o insult_a manner_n look_v to_o themselves_o and_o take_v heed_n of_o such_o and_o such_o matter_n say_v they_o have_v a_o fair_a warning_n thank_v themselves_o if_o they_o do_v otherwise_o then_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o look_v not_o to_o be_v pity_v of_o they_o but_o he_o beseech_v and_o intreat_v they_o and_o therein_o profess_v that_o it_o shall_v do_v he_o much_o good_a if_o they_o will_v take_v warning_n and_o that_o it_o will_v be_v no_o small_a grief_n and_o sorrow_n of_o heart_n to_o he_o if_o they_o do_v not_o this_o spirit_n shall_v all_o christian_n bring_v unto_o the_o admonish_a of_o their_o brethren_n especial_o the_o minister_n of_o christ._n and_o this_o be_v one_o reason_n why_o there_o be_v so_o little_a fruit_n oft_o in_o our_o admonition_n because_o we_o show_v so_o little_a love_n and_o compassion_n in_o they_o our_o admonition_n for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v but_o purgation_n and_o evacuation_n of_o our_o spleen_n and_o malice_n and_o not_o any_o manifestation_n of_o our_o love_n and_o compassion_n to_o the_o party_n admonish_v as_o though_o their_o well-doing_n be_v a_o advantage_n unto_o we_o and_o their_o ill-doing_n a_o damage_n unto_o us._n now_o further_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o naked_o beseech_v they_o but_o he_o adjoin_v thereunto_o a_o double_a adjuration_n or_o obtestation_n wherein_o he_o declare_v with_o what_o zeal_n and_o ardour_n of_o spirit_n he_o beseech_v they_o the_o apostle_n then_o in_o this_o his_o admonition_n heat_v his_o love_n with_o zeal_n and_o moderate_v his_o zeal_n with_o love_n he_o mingle_v &_o temper_v they_o both_o together_o in_o the_o one_o he_o show_v his_o desire_n of_o their_o good_a in_o the_o other_o his_o fear_n of_o their_o evil_n and_o therein_o he_o teach_v we_o what_o affection_n we_o shall_v bring_v with_o we_o to_o the_o admonish_a of_o our_o brethren_n a_o zealous_a love_n and_o a_o love_a zeal_n love_n without_o zeal_n be_v but_o folly_n zeal_n without_o love_n be_v but_o fury_n and_o madness_n but_o how_o do_v most_o of_o we_o swerve_v in_o our_o passion_n when_o we_o come_v to_o admonish_v our_o brethren_n sometime_o in_o our_o admonition_n we_o show_v neither_o love_n nor_o zeal_n but_o admonish_v they_o in_o that_o manner_n as_o though_o we_o care_v not_o whither_o they_o hearken_v to_o we_o or_o no._n sometime_o we_o show_v love_n but_o no_o zeal_n sometime_o hot_a zeal_n but_o no_o love_n if_o that_o may_v be_v call_v zeal_n that_o be_v without_o love_n but_o let_v we_o never_o take_v upon_o we_o this_o office_n until_o we_o can_v temper_v these_o affection_n together_o beside_o in_o this_o fervency_n of_o his_o spirit_n he_o show_v that_o they_o be_v in_o great_a danger_n to_o be_v seduce_v and_o that_o it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a matter_n for_o they_o to_o be_v seduce_v and_o lead_v away_o with_o that_o error_n which_o he_o admonish_v they_o of_o and_o in_o they_o he_o show_v the_o condition_n of_o all_o true_a church_n and_o christian_n especial_o in_o the_o time_n of_o persecution_n and_o trial_n that_o they_o be_v then_o in_o great_a danger_n through_o the_o powerful_a and_o malicious_a work_n of_o satan_n to_o run_v into_o error_n and_o it_o be_v then_o most_o dangerous_a for_o they_o to_o err_v as_o by_o mean_n whereof_o they_o give_v special_a advantage_n to_o satan_n and_o to_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o gospel_n he_o adjure_v they_o by_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n and_o by_o their_o assemble_v unto_o he_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v you_o hear_v before_o what_o i_o say_v concern_v christ_n second_v come_v and_o the_o wonderful_a

that_o here_o i_o admonish_v you_o of_o whence_o we_o observe_v 1._o that_o christian_n must_v learn_v to_o place_v their_o special_a hope_n and_o comfort_n in_o the_o expectation_n of_o christ_n come_n otherwise_o this_o adjuration_n shall_v have_v little_a force_n in_o it_o 2._o that_o all_o christian_n minister_n especial_o must_v be_v most_o careful_a to_o warn_v and_o admonish_v their_o christian_a brethren_n of_o such_o error_n as_o may_v hazard_v or_o endanger_v any_o way_n their_o hope_n and_o expectation_n in_o that_o day_n 3._o that_o christian_n even_o the_o best_a and_o those_o which_o have_v give_v great_a testimony_n and_o proof_n of_o their_o faith_n shall_v be_v in_o danger_n

those_o thing_n which_o from_o the_o lord_n i_o have_v give_v you_o in_o charge_n even_o as_o now_o also_o you_o do_v which_o petition_n of_o he_o have_v some_o dependence_n upon_o the_o former_a consolation_n for_o upon_o that_o condition_n may_v they_o hope_v that_o god_n will_v establish_v they_o and_o defend_v they_o from_o that_o evil_a one_o if_o they_o be_v careful_a to_o do_v those_o thing_n that_o the_o apostle_n enjoin_v they_o now_o what_o be_v it_o that_o the_o apostle_n and_o his_o fellow_n labourer_n syluanus_n and_o timothy_n enjoin_v they_o but_o to_o obey_v the_o gospel_n which_o contain_v precept_n of_o faith_n and_o repentance_n from_o dead_a work_n 1._o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o christian_a man_n if_o they_o will_v be_v sure_a of_o god_n protection_n
