in_o my_o text_n be_v the_o respect_n we_o ought_v to_o have_v to_o our_o lord_n who_o office_n it_o be_v to_o judge_v that_o which_o be_v near_o link_v with_o this_o be_v the_o respect_n we_o ought_v to_o have_v unto_o our_o brethren_n over_o who_o we_o have_v no_o authority_n and_o therefore_o ought_v not_o to_o take_v upon_o we_o to_o be_v their_o judge_n the_o first_o of_o these_o if_o it_o be_v weigh_v will_v make_v our_o judge_v other_o appear_v to_o be_v a_o insolence_n towards_o our_o saviour_n the_o second_o will_v represent_v it_o as_o a_o insolence_n towards_o men._n 1._o first_o i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o insolence_n towards_o god_n our_o saviour_n a_o usurpation_n upon_o his_o right_n a_o bold_a intrusion_n into_o his_o office_n a_o arrogate_a to_o ourselves_o that_o which_o true_o and_o proper_o be_v his_o sole_a prerogative_n especial_o when_o man_n proceed_v so_o far_o as_o to_o dare_v to_o judge_v the_o very_a heart_n of_o other_o or_o to_o censure_v and_o condemn_v
