hearty_o sorry_a for_o the_o same_o work_v in_o we_o a_o great_a measure_n of_o sorrow_n that_o we_o fear_v thy_o judgement_n which_o thou_o execute_a against_o stubborn_a and_o impenitent_a sinner_n may_v labour_v so_o much_o the_o more_o to_o please_v thou_o grant_v that_o we_o may_v keep_v our_o self_n from_o all_o pollution_n and_o defilement_n of_o the_o world_n and_o of_o all_o those_o who_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n that_o we_o may_v not_o make_v ourselves_o partaker_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o that_o those_o who_o be_v cut_v off_o may_v be_v bring_v to_o shame_n for_o their_o sin_n and_o see_v thou_o take_v no_o pleasure_n in_o the_o death_n of_o sinner_n but_o that_o they_o return_v and_o live_v and_o set_v always_o open_a the_o bosom_n of_o thy_o church_n to_o receive_v penitent_a sinner_n be_v please_v to_o kindle_v in_o we_o a_o right_a zeal_n that_o both_o by_o our_o admonition_n and_o example_n we_o may_v labour_v to_o reduce_v again_o this_o excommunicate_v person_n and_o all_o such_o who_o through_o infidelity_n and_o wickedness_n of_o life_n be_v go_v astray_o bless_v our_o admonition_n that_o we_o may_v have_v cause_n to_o rejoice_v over_o he_o for_o who_o sake_n we_o be_v now_o in_o heaviness_n that_o thy_o holy_a name_n may_v be_v glorify_v through_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v teach_v we_o to_o pray_v our_o father_n etc._n etc._n form_n for_o the_o receive_n and_o admit_v again_o of_o excommunicate_v person_n belove_a in_o the_o lord_n it_o be_v know_v unto_o you_o that_o sometime_o past_o our_o fellow_n member_n n._n have_v be_v excommunicate_v and_o cut_v off_o from_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n now_o we_o can_v not_o conceal_v from_o you_o how_o that_o he_o through_o the_o forename_a remedy_n as_o also_o through_o good_a admonishion_n and_o your_o prayer_n be_v come_v so_o far_o that_o he_o be_v ashamed_a of_o his_o sin_n and_o desire_v to_o be_v receive_v again_o into_o the_o fellowship_n of_o the_o church_n therefore_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o receive_v such_o with_o joy_n and_o yet_o to_o keep_v also_o good_a order_n therefore_o we_o give_v you_o here_o to_o understand_v that_o we_o be_v resolve_v to_o loose_v again_o the_o forename_a excommunicate_v person_n from_o the_o bond_n of_o excommunication_n at_o the_o next_o time_n when_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n we_o shall_v celebrate_v the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o receive_v he_o again_o into_o fellowship_n with_o the_o church_n except_o there_o be_v some_o who_o mean_v while_o shall_v show_v any_o lawful_a cause_n wherefore_o this_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v do_v which_o you_o be_v to_o signify_v to_o we_o betimes_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n every_o one_o of_o you_o be_v to_o praise_v the_o lord_n for_o his_o mercy_n manifest_v to_o this_o poor_a sinner_n and_o to_o entreat_v he_o to_o perfect_v his_o work_n in_o he_o to_o his_o everlasting_a salvation_n if_o no_o impediment_n be_v bring_v the_o minister_n be_v to_o proceed_v to_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o excommunicate_v person_n again_o after_o this_o follow_a manner_n belove_a in_o the_o lord_n we_o have_v the_o last_o time_n acquaint_v you_o with_o the_o repentance_n of_o our_o fellow_n member_n n._n that_o he_o with_o your_o consent_n may_v be_v receive_v again_o into_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n see_v therefore_o no_o body_n have_v bring_v any_o thing_n whereby_o his_o admission_n again_o shall_v be_v differ_v therefore_o we_o intend_v at_o this_o time_n to_o proceed_v to_o the_o same_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v confirm_v the_o sentence_n of_o the_o church_n in_o the_o excommunication_n of_o a_o impenitent_a sinner_n declare_v thereupon_o present_o that_o whatsoever_o the_o minister_n shall_v loose_v on_o earth_n shall_v be_v loose_v in_o heaven_n whereby_o he_o give_v to_o understand_v that_o when_o any_o body_n be_v cut_v off_o from_o the_o church_n that_o thereby_o he_o be_v not_o bereave_v of_o all_o hope_n of_o salvation_n but_o that_o he_o can_v be_v loose_v again_o from_o the_o bond_n of_o his_o condemnation_n therefore_o see_v god_n do_v declare_v in_o his_o word_n that_o he_o have_v no_o pleasure_n in_o the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n but_o that_o he_o be_v convert_v and_o live_v the_o church_n in_o like_a manner_n have_v hope_n of_o the_o conversion_n of_o the_o excommunicate_v sinner_n and_o keep_v her_o bosom_n open_a to_o receive_v again_o the_o penitent_a therefore_o do_v the_o apostle_n exhort_v 1_o cor._n 5._o that_o the_o corinthian_a who_o he_o have_v declare_v shall_v have_v be_v cut_v off_o from_o the_o church_n be_v receive_v &_o comfort_v again_o see_v that_o after_o he_o have_v be_v reprooved_a by_o many_o he_o be_v come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o his_o sin_n lest_o he_o be_v swallow_v up_o by_o overmuch_a heaviness_n 2_o cor._n 2._o second_o christ_n in_o the_o forename_a place_n do_v teach_v that_o the_o sentence_n of_o absolution_n which_o be_v pronounce_v to_o such_o a_o penitent_a sinner_n according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v account_v steadfast_a and_o firm_a with_o the_o lord_n therefore_o ought_v no_o body_n who_o do_v upright_o repent_v make_v any_o question_n but_o that_o he_o be_v receive_v of_o god_n as_o christ_n say_v joh._n 2._o who_o sin_n you_o remit_v to_o those_o they_o be_v remit_v to_o come_v therefore_o to_o the_o business_n in_o hand_n i_o afke_v you_o n._n whether_o you_o declare_v here_o before_o god_n and_o his_o church_n from_o your_o heart_n that_o you_o be_v true_o sorry_a for_o your_o sin_n and_o obstinacy_n for_o which_o you_o have_v most_o just_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o the_o church_n and_o whether_o you_o do_v unfeigned_o believe_v that_o god_n have_v forgive_v and_o do_v forgive_v your_o sin_n for_o christ_n his_o sake_n and_o therefore_o be_v desirous_a to_o be_v receive_v again_o into_o the_o church_n to_o carry_v yourself_o from_o henceforth_o in_o all_o piety_n according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n answer_n yea._n hereupon_o shall_v the_o minister_n say_v further_o we_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n

holy_a sacrament_n and_o all_o other_o spiritual_a blessing_n and_o benesit_n which_o god_n have_v promise_v and_o make_v good_a to_o his_o church_n in_o which_o the_o eternal_a god_n preserve_v you_o

that_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n may_v not_o be_v blaspheme_v therefore_o we_o minister_n and_o elder_n of_o the_o church_n be_v meet_v in_o the_o name_n and_o power_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n
