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 the_o church_n before_o we_o have_v need_n be_v marvellous_a careful_a and_o wary_a if_o we_o will_v reprove_v i_o have_v think_v to_o have_v name_v other_o use_v but_o i_o leave_v this_o exposition_n and_o take_v it_o as_o it_o be_v passive_o interpret_v he_o that_o be_v often_o reprove_v harden_v his_o neck_n shall_v sudden_o be_v destroy_v and_o that_o without_o remedy_n xposition_n though_o it_o may_v be_v expound_v the_o other_o way_n yet_o i_o rather_o incline_v to_o this_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o this_o be_v the_o constant_a current_n of_o all_o interpreter_n general_o i_o meet_v but_o with_o one_o or_o two_o that_o expound_v it_o the_o other_o way_n but_o all_o passive_o he_o that_o be_v often_o reprove_v harden_v his_o neck_n etc._n etc._n second_o because_o the_o word_n in_o the_o origiall_n be_v a_o man_n of_o reproof_n that_o harden_v his_o own_o neck_n now_o though_o it_o be_v indifferent_a whether_o it_o be_v active_a or_o passive_a yet_o look_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v it_o more_o often_o passive_a then_o active_a a_o man_n of_o reproof_n that_o be_v a_o man_n often_o reprove_v in_o the_o passive_a as_o in_o isaiah_n 53.3_o christ_n be_v a_o man_n of_o sorrow_n not_o make_v other_o sorry_a but_o make_v sorry_a passive_o and_o so_o in_o dan._n 9.23_o it_o be_v say_v daniel_n be_v a_o man_n of_o desire_n that_o be_v not_o a_o man_n desire_v other_o man_n or_o other_o thing_n not_o active_o desire_v but_o passive_o desire_v belove_v of_o god_n exceed_o so_o it_o be_v say_v of_o jeremiah_n jerem._n 15.10_o he_o be_v a_o man_n of_o strife_n not_o a_o man_n strive_v with_o other_o but_o a_o man_n strive_v with_o so_o in_o 1_o king_n 2.26_o a_o man_n of_o death_n that_o be_v not_o kill_a other_o but_o to_o be_v kill_v himself_o it_o be_v take_v more_o frequent_o in_o the_o passive_a sense_n so_o we_o may_v more_o bold_o take_v it_o so_o a_o man_n of_o reproof_n that_o be_v reprove_v again_o and_o again_o that_o have_v receive_v divers_a reproof_n and_o yet_o harden_v his_o own_o neck_n shall_v sudden_o be_v destroy_v and_o that_o without_o remedy_n here_o i_o may_v observe_v by_o the_o way_n this_o point_n 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 against_o god_n when_o he_o have_v commit_v sin_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o when_o he_o be_v reprove_v for_o his_o sin_n and_o go_v on_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o destroy_v a_o man_n naked_o but_o 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 from_o the_o bee_n the_o bee_n yield_v honey_n of_o her_o own_o nature_n but_o she_o do_v not_o sting_v but_o when_o she_o be_v provoke_v so_o the_o lord_n be_v gracious_a and_o good_a and_o favourable_a and_o kind_a and_o bless_v his_o people_n from_o his_o own_o nature_n but_o he_o do_v not_o punish_v and_o plague_n and_o destroy_v but_o be_v provoke_v by_o sin_n and_o iniquity_n i_o will_v not_o stand_v to_o follow_v this_o point_n i_o let_v it_o go_v the_o text_n itself_o contain_v the_o great_a mercy_n of_o god_n in_o lend_v a_o man_n a_o reproof_n and_o what_o a_o great_a sin_n it_o be_v what_o a_o great_a ill_n it_o be_v for_o a_o man_n to_o sin_n against_o his_o reproof_n the_o greatness_n of_o the_o ill_a be_v set_v down_o two_o way_n first_o by_o the_o great_a sinfulness_n of_o the_o thing_n it_o be_v call_v the_o harden_v of_o a_o man_n own_o neck_n second_o by_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o punishment_n that_o god_n inflict_v upon_o this_o sin_n and_o that_o be_v reprove_v he_o will_v destroy_v he_o and_o without_o remedy_n for_o the_o first_o namely_o what_o a_o great_a mercy_n it_o be_v for_o god_n to_o let_v a_o man_n be_v reprove_v for_o his_o sin_n it_o may_v be_v prove_v by_o many_o place_n of_o scripture_n only_o i_o find_v in_o scripture_n it_o be_v bring_v as_o a_o aggravation_n of_o sin_n when_o they_o sin_v against_o reproof_n hosea_n 5.2_o say_v he_o they_o be_v profound_a to_o commit_v sin_n though_o i_o have_v be_v a_o rebuker_n of_o they_o all_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v though_o i_o have_v be_v so_o merciful_a as_o to_o show_v they_o the_o danger_n of_o sin_n to_o tell_v they_o what_o will_v come_v of_o their_o wretched_a course_n though_o i_o have_v call_v they_o to_o repentance_n and_o have_v give_v they_o warning_n what_o will_v be_v the_o issue_n of_o these_o thing_n yet_o for_o all_o this_o for_o all_o my_o mercy_n they_o have_v go_v on_o in_o their_o sin_n though_o i_o have_v reprove_v they_o this_o though_o be_v a_o word_n of_o aggravation_n as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o speech_n of_o daniel_n to_o belshazzar_n thou_o o_o king_n have_v not_o humble_v thyself_o though_o thou_o know_v this_o as_o

when_o he_o go_v on_o notwithstanding_o he_o be_v reprove_v the_o reason_n be_v love_n first_o because_o when_o god_n reprove_v a_o man_n of_o sin_n the_o reproof_n primary_o come_v out_o of_o love_n

a_o argument_n of_o hatred_n when_o a_o man_n do_v not_o reprove_v his_o brother_n of_o sin_n if_o god_n let_v a_o man_n go_v on_o in_o sin_n and_o never_o tell_v he_o of_o his_o drunkenness_n nor_o
