we_o to_o overthrow_v this_o kingdom_n let_v we_o consider_v the_o example_n of_o the_o mounkes_n and_o bishop_n of_o rome_n which_o while_o they_o go_v about_o to_o avoid_v such_o offence_n and_o seducinge_n as_o chance_v in_o this_o common_a life_n bring_v in_o more_o grevouse_n occasion_n to_o offend_v where_o as_o they_o change_v true_a religion_n into_o ceremony_n rite_n and_o observation_n they_o utter_o abolish_v the_o kingdom_n of_o mercy_n and_o grace_n and_o this_o be_v now_o also_o the_o very_a practice_n of_o the_o devil_n for_o that_o he_o slaunder_v the_o professer_n of_o the_o gospel_n because_o there_o be_v many_o offence_n and_o evil_a example_n amongst_o they_o for_o we_o can_v not_o deny_v but_o such_o offensive_a example_n be_v in_o many_o hypocrite_n which_o boast_n of_o god_n mercy_n and_o grace_n and_o yet_o by_o their_o licentiouse_a live_n and_o manner_n by_o their_o advoutrie_n extortion_n usury_n sensual_a lust_n and_o many_o other_o vice_n declare_v that_o they_o regard_v not_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n true_o but_o what_o remedy_n we_o be_v forth_o with_o tempt_v to_o pluck_v up_o the_o tare_n and_o to_o seek_v such_o a_o separation_n of_o the_o evil_a from_o the_o good_a that_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n we_o corrupt_v the_o heavenly_a doctrine_n as_o touch_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n but_o if_o we_o be_v wise_a we_o will_v not_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v withdraw_v from_o do_v our_o duty_n by_o their_o importunite_v and_o outrageous_a behavioure_n for_o it_o be_v much_o better_a to_o resist_v and_o strive_v with_o the_o wicked_a example_n of_o their_o life_n and_o manner_n by_o do_v the_o contrary_a and_o so_o to_o preserve_v this_o doctrine_n of_o mercy_n and_o grace_n then_o to_o correct_v and_o pluck_v it_o up_o violent_o and_o so_o by_o that_o and_o example_n of_o the_o mounkes_n and_o novatians_n to_o flee_v from_o scylla_n and_o to_o fall_v into_o charybdis_n that_o be_v for_o avoid_v of_o the_o less_o danger_n to_o fall_v into_o the_o great_a and_o especial_o since_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o kingdom_n be_v such_o that_o it_o can_v not_o utter_o avoid_v all_o offence_n because_o such_o must_v be_v for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o this_o necessary_a doctrine_n of_o grace_n wherefore_o where_o as_o the_o papist_n now_o lie_v to_o our_o charge_n the_o fruit_n of_o our_o gospel_n what_o other_o thing_n mean_v they_o thereby_o than_o that_o this_o kyngdom_n shall_v be_v without_o all_o offence_n and_o evil_a example_n but_o we_o may_v just_o lay_v this_o to_o their_o charge_n again_o that_o where_o as_o they_o go_v about_o by_o the_o mounkerye_n and_o other_o tradition_n of_o they_o to_o make_v this_o kingdom_n without_o offence_n they_o be_v fall_v into_o such_o error_n and_o blindness_n thereby_o that_o they_o have_v clean_o lose_v all_o the_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n and_o godly_a righteousness_n and_o all_o the_o work_n of_o true_a godliness_n also_o if_o therefore_o it_o shall_v be_v put_v to_o our_o choice_n which_o of_o these_o discommodity_n we_o have_v rather_o have_v grace_n whether_o of_o they_o both_o shall_v we_o rather_o take_v uery_o all_o will_v grant_v this_o that_o for_o as_o much_o as_o this_o kingdom_n can_v not_o be_v without_o offence_n yet_o that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o choose_v that_o offence_n where_o with_o nevertheless_o the_o kingdom_n may_v be_v sumwhat_o uphold_v than_o that_o whereby_o the_o kingdom_n shall_v quite_o be_v destroy_v without_o hope_n of_o recover_a &_o whereby_o the_o doctrine_n and_o true_a godliness_n shall_v utterlie_o decay_v &_o perish_v as_o it_o chance_v amongst_o the_o papist_n and_o monk_n and_o the_o doctrine_n and_o meaning_n of_o this_o parable_n of_o christ_n be_v put_v forth_o to_o the_o end_n that_o above_o all_o thing_n we_o may_v have_v good_a respect_n to_o know_v the_o manner_n of_o god_n kingdom_n and_o not_o be_v offend_v with_o such_o inconvenience_n as_o chance_v always_o in_o the_o wordle_n unto_o it_o for_o whereas_o it_o offer_v free_a remission_n of_o sin_n to_o sinner_n first_o it_o come_v hereby_o to_o pass_v that_o many_o hypocrite_n come_v to_o the_o fellowship_n of_o this_o kingdom_n then_o also_o some_o man_n laboringe_v to_o remedy_v this_o discommodity_n find_v out_o a_o mean_n to_o make_v a_o civil_a separation_n that_o they_o may_v false_o boast_v of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o not_o be_v in_o the_o fellowship_n with_o they_o that_o use_v it_o well_o but_o christ_n show_v what_o great_a damage_n ensue_v thereby_o even_o that_o by_o this_o separation_n they_o pluck_v up_o the_o good_a corn_n also_o for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o grace_n be_v pluck_v up_o by_o man_n tradition_n which_o be_v invent_v to_o make_v this_o separation_n so_o that_o now_o the_o church_n be_v bring_v to_o such_o a_o miserable_a and_o unscapable_a case_n that_o where_o as_o before_o the_o member_n be_v in_o peril_n now_o the_o head_n be_v like_a to_o decay_v wherefore_o we_o must_v follow_v christ_n council_n which_o byd_v we_o to_o suffer_v the_o tare_n and_o not_o to_o be_v so_o precise_a in_o pluck_v they_o up_o lest_o we_o by_o our_o undiscrete_a diligence_n overthrow_v the_o governaunce_n of_o this_o kingdom_n as_o touch_v remission_n of_o sin_n now_o must_v we_o use_v this_o kingdom_n that_o many_o by_o remission_n of_o sin_n may_v be_v forgeven_v if_o there_o be_v any_o as_o there_o be_v many_o that_o have_v rather_o be_v see_v to_o be_v in_o this_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n then_o to_o be_v true_a member_n thereof_o in_o deed_n what_o can_v we_o do_v therewith_o if_o they_o will_v needs_o misuse_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n but_o if_o we_o shall_v be_v so_o extreme_a against_o they_o that_o for_o their_o sake_n we_o will_v use_v violence_n and_o force_n in_o this_o kingdom_n what_o shall_v we_o get_v thereby_o than_o that_o as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o example_n before_o while_o we_o go_v about_o to_o separate_v the_o wicked_a for_o their_o abuse_v of_o god_n grace_n we_o utterlye_o subverte_v the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n wherefore_o let_v we_o leave_v this_o to_o be_v do_v of_o the_o angel_n end_n that_o they_o may_v sunder_v the_o evil_a from_o the_o good_a for_o after_o that_o shall_v the_o kyngdom_n of_o grace_n be_v no_o long_o among_o sinner_n every_o man_n then_o shall_v receive_v accord_v to_o his_o work_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o such_o peril_n than_o as_o be_v now_o where_o as_o if_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o of_o the_o kyngdom_n of_o heaven_n shall_v be_v take_v away_o by_o pluck_v up_o of_o the_o tare_n before_o the_o appearinge_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n then_o the_o great_a yea_o and_o the_o only_a refuge_n for_o sinner_n may_v seem_v to_o be_v disturb_v and_o take_v away_o and_o at_o this_o separation_n by_o the_o angel_n it_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o inquire_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o more_o left_a to_o be_v call_v to_o salvation_n but_o it_o shall_v be_v consider_v who_o have_v use_v well_o this_o kyngdom_n of_o comfort_n &_o have_v be_v true_a member_n thereof_o in_o deed_n &_o who_o have_v be_v subject_n there_o unto_o by_o name_n only_o &_o yet_o in_o very_a deed_n have_v never_o any_o true_a fellowship_n therewith_o and_o this_o have_v we_o speak_v as_o touchinge_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o this_o parable_n after_o this_o we_o will_v entreat_v not_o only_o what_o must_v be_v do_v with_o heretic_n but_o universal_o what_o they_o that_o have_v office_n to_o correct_v offence_n ought_v to_o do_v with_o all_o kind_n of_o offender_n &_o whether_o it_o be_v mean_v by_o this_o say_n let_v they_o grow_v offence_n that_o no_o kind_n of_o offence_n either_o in_o life_n or_o in_o doctrine_n shall_v be_v punish_v &_o restrain_v we_o have_v declare_v before_o what_o be_v christ_n especial_a intent_n by_o this_o parable_n even_o that_o by_o the_o undiscrete_a usage_n of_o man_n the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n shall_v not_o be_v hinder_v now_o such_o thing_n as_o by_o god_n commandment_n be_v ordain_v for_o the_o furtherance_n of_o this_o kingdom_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v think_v contrary_a to_o the_o same_o and_o first_o to_o begin_v at_o the_o principal_a matter_n excommunication_n the_o excommunication_n use_v in_o the_o church_n be_v not_o against_o this_o parable_n for_o it_o be_v so_o necessary_a for_o the_o preservation_n thereof_o that_o without_o it_o mercy_n remission_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o pure_a doctrine_n thereof_o can_v not_o be_v retain_v for_o as_o by_o absolution_n god_n grace_n must_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o penitent_a so_o by_o byndinge_a must_n god_n wrath_n &_o curse_n be_v apply_v to_o the_o unpenitent_a 13._o paul_n himself_o say_v that_o power_n of_o bind_v be_v give_v to_o he_o not_o to_o destroy_v but_o to_o edify_v wherefore_o they_o that_o be_v excommunicate_a be_v not_o
man_n that_o of_o god_n &_o man_n nature_n may_v be_v make_v one_o person_n the_o devil_n can_v not_o join_v himself_o so_o nigh_o to_o man_n but_o god_n be_v make_v man_n and_o yet_o he_o remain_v a_o man_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v he_o set_v himself_o more_o deep_o in_o man_n flesh_n than_o the_o dyvell_n can_v which_o may_v enter_v into_o man_n body_n and_o vex_v it_o but_o he_o can_v not_o be_v make_v man_n that_o the_o devil_n and_o man_n may_v become_v one_o person_n between_o these_o two_o nature_n be_v there_o always_o remain_v a_o difference_n of_o person_n not_o only_o in_o
