appoint_v sol._n sure_o the_o freedom_n of_o spirit_n stand_v not_o so_o much_o in_o freedom_n of_o word_n and_o in_o intention_n of_o zeal_n as_o a_o servant_n that_o deliver_v his_o master_n

church_n to_o govern_v itself_o both_o in_o matter_n
6.2_o and_o continue_v in_o our_o fellowship_n with_o glorious_a comfort_n put_v case_n we_o have_v no_o power_n to_o purge_v wicked_a liver_n must_v they_o present_o say_v depart_v from_o i_o i_o be_o holy_a than_o thou_o 6._o they_o shall_v bear_v only_o their_o own_o burden_n in_o sin_n and_o one_o another_o burden_n by_o compassion_n toleration_n charity_n and_o meekness_n by_o rash_a separation_n the_o correction_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v not_o further_v but_o hinder_v for_o when_o they_o see_v themselves_o contemn_v they_o be_v put_v further_o from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o make_v sevenfold_a the_o child_n of_o hell_n more_o to_o the_o hazard_n of_o all_o but_o the_o truth_n be_v we_o have_v excellent_a power_n for_o both_o these_o work_n though_o not_o in_o all_o the_o member_n of_o every_o particular_a congregation_n as_o they_o mean_v for_o than_o no_o man_n can_v perish_v in_o the_o gainsay_v of_o core_n judas_n who_o mutiny_n be_v because_o he_o can_v not_o be_v equal_a to_o aaron_n 16.10_o who_o god_n appoint_v his_o superior_a yet_o have_v we_o it_o in_o every_o diocese_n where_o law_n be_v make_v not_o by_o one_o but_o many_o for_o the_o rule_n of_o all_o under_o they_o and_o if_o person_n be_v not_o sometime_o in_o fault_n more_o than_o office_n who_o yet_o seem_v worse_o through_o the_o impetuous_a carriage_n of_o those_o that_o speak_v evil_a of_o government_n 2._o and_o think_v it_o as_o easy_a to_o rule_v multitude_n as_o a_o few_o in_o a_o parlour_n we_o may_v be_v easy_o as_o happy_a in_o our_o power_n as_o all_o the_o church_n under_o heaven_n object_n then_o i_o pray_v tell_v i_o say_v they_o the_o reason_n of_o two_o thing_n why_o ungodly_a man_n be_v not_o cast_v out_o and_o why_o your_o excommunication_n be_v thunder_v against_o good_a man_n mean_v solution_n 1_o themselves_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o first_o be_v because_o good_a canon_n be_v not_o observe_v be_v bishop_n never_o so_o good_a and_o their_o officer_n never_o so_o careful_a under_o they_o yet_o if_o churchwarden_n that_o shall_v upon_o the_o oath_n of_o god_n present_a scandal_n think_v thus_o i_o shall_v be_v account_v a_o troubler_n of_o my_o neighbour_n our_o presentment_n come_v to_o nothing_o but_o to_o make_v the_o court_n rich_a to_o present_v the_o poor_a bring_v but_o charge_n to_o the_o parish_n mean_v his_o own_o purse_n no_o man_n can_v observe_v all_o the_o canon_n or_o it_o be_v better_a to_o punish_v they_o before_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n out_o of_o prejudice_n to_o court_n of_o spiritual_a judicature_n then_o be_v it_o impossible_a be_v the_o government_n never_o so_o good_a that_o wicked_a man_n shall_v be_v cast_v out_o but_o if_o churchwarden_n be_v as_o the_o house_n of_o cloe_n to_o paul_n to_o give_v true_a information_n and_o to_o open_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o not-seeing_a judge_n they_o shall_v soon_o here_o as_o of_o that_o incestuous_a person_n cast_v they_o out_o but_o the_o truth_n be_v this_o question_n need_v not_o be_v move_v by_o they_o see_v they_o see_v more_o cast_v out_o in_o our_o church_n then_o in_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n whereof_o choice_n of_o wicked_a member_n we_o hear_v only_o of_o excommunicate_v only_o one_o beast_n to_o the_o second_o quaere_fw-la i_o answer_v because_o it_o solution_n 2_o may_v fall_v out_o so_o in_o all_o the_o society_n in_o the_o world_n that_o a_o good_a man_n may_v not_o be_v a_o good_a citizen_n nor_o a_o good_a member_n of_o a_o visible_a church_n if_o then_o they_o be_v cast_v out_o it_o be_v not_o for_o goodness_n but_o because_o they_o be_v not_o good_a enough_o there_o be_v a_o double_a goodness_n a_o certain_a goodness_n and_o a_o controversal_a goodness_n which_o be_v so_o judge_v of_o some_o good_a man_n but_o not_o so_o of_o other_o as_o good_a as_o they_o no_o good_a man_n be_v cast_v out_o by_o we_o for_o certain_a goodness_n but_o for_o controversal_a which_o end_v in_o stir_n and_o tumult_n and_o then_o i_o will_v they_o be_v cut_v off_o that_o trouble_n you_o say_v paul_n 5._o again_o there_o be_v a_o double_a goodness_n in_o the_o thing_n itself_o and_o in_o the_o carriage_n of_o it_o as_o job_n cause_n be_v good_a yet_o he_o carry_v it_o bad_o and_o therefore_o before_o god_n receive_v he_o to_o his_o favour_n he_o be_v drive_v to_o abhor_v himself_o and_o repent_v in_o dust_n and_o ash_n 42._o no_o man_n by_o we_o be_v cast_v out_o for_o any_o good_a thing_n but_o for_o his_o undiscreet_a and_o bad_a carriage_n of_o it_o a_o man_n do_v not_o only_o love_v the_o meat_n but_o the_o dress_n of_o it_o so_o do_v god_n the_o manner_n as_o well_o as_o the_o matter_n and_o so_o do_v the_o church_n if_o therefore_o the_o carriage_n of_o goodness_n end_n in_o faction_n and_o turbulence_n the_o actor_n haply_o may_v be_v just_o cast_v out_o for_o a_o time_n to_o make_v they_o more_o humble_o wise_a object_n yea_o but_o say_v they_o such_o good_a man_n as_o be_v persecute_v for_o our_o conscience_n by_o the_o bishop_n and_o their_o instrument_n with_o their_o curse_n and_o prison_n when_o wicked_a man_n be_v spare_v it_o may_v fall_v out_o so_o just_o in_o three_o case_n sol._n when_o wicked_a man_n confess_v their_o fault_n and_o they_o deny_v they_o when_o there_o be_v public_a cognisance_n by_o a_o clear_a and_o open_a law_n against_o their_o fault_n and_o not_o against_o the_o other_o and_o three_o when_o one_o disturb_v the_o public_a peace_n of_o the_o church_n more_o than_o the_o other_o for_o as_o it_o be_v well_o say_v in_o a_o commonwealth_n some_o small_a offence_n have_v heavy_a punishment_n as_o break_v open_a a_o poor_a cottage_n where_o no_o good_n be_v lose_v or_o person_n hurt_v than_o the_o steal_n of_o some_o cattle_n which_o haply_o be_v more_o worth_n because_o the_o public_a tranquillity_n and_o peace_n of_o subject_n be_v more_o hurt_n so_o also_o be_v it_o just_o in_o the_o church_n when_o public_a peace_n be_v in_o hazard_n but_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o separation_n so_o great_a object_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v punish_v more_o than_o blasphemy_n perjury_n whore_v drunkenness_n say_v they_o sol._n all_o these_o and_o other_o sin_n be_v detestable_a and_o by_o all_o law_n fall_v under_o great_a censure_n ●1_n and_o find_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o meekness_n but_o the_o rod_n when_o the_o sleepy_a conscience_n of_o officer_n will_v present_v they_o in_o due_a course_n of_o law_n separation_n yet_o the_o sin_n of_o separation_n be_v very_o great_a it_o make_v man_n throw_v dirt_n in_o their_o mother_n face_n and_o defile_v their_o father_n and_o brethren_n it_o stand_v and_o plead_v it_o own_o justification_n in_o despite_n of_o government_n whereas_o the_o other_o be_v self_n condemn_v wretch_n it_o sour_v many_o quick_o under_o show_n of_o holiness_n whereas_o the_o other_o be_v abhor_v by_o a_o natural_a conscience_n it_o beget_v division_n which_o breed_v thought_n of_o heart_n 5._o and_o

that_o know_v he_o must_v have_v a_o religion_n to_o bring_v he_o to_o heaven_n know_v not_o which_o way_n to_o take_v his_o body_n be_v in_o one_o church_n his_o soul_n in_o another_o his_o opinion_n
