as_o cast_v aways_o in_o respect_n of_o ourselves_o a_o dangerous_a thing_n it_o be_v to_o take_v god_n office_n in_o hand_n or_o to_o judge_v this_o man_n or_o that_o man_n conden_v without_o any_o

you_o be_v judge_v but_o it_o be_v forbid_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o any_o christian_a man_n shall_v keep_v company_n with_o the_o ungodly_a to_o follow_v their_o ungodlynes_n or_o to_o

or_o unprofitable_a to_o he_o so_o long_o as_o he_o beleve_v in_o christ_n and_o keep_v himself_o unspotted_a from_o their_o unrightousnes_n scripture_n much_o commend_v unity_n and_o concord_n therefore_o let_v we_o cast_v away_o all_o division_n and_o grow_v to_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n let_v those_o that_o be_v spiritual_a help_v to_o amend_v they_o that_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n in_o the_o spirit_n of_o mekenes_n consyder_v themselves_o that_o they_o may_v fall_v labour_v therefore_o by_o a_o godly_a conversation_n and_o goste_o council_n to_o call_v they_o to_o

in_o a_o christian_n common_a weal_n to_o be_v a_o publyke_a preacher_n without_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o hygh_a power_n an_o other_o flower_n the_o dyvell_n have_v in_o store_n wherewith_o he_o
