be_v to_o know_v what_o the_o ratification_n of_o this_o power_n be_v namely_o to_o be_v bind_v and_o loose_v in_o heaven_n that_o be_v when_o the_o church_n judgement_n follow_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n do_v acquit_v or_o condemn_v a_o sinner_n god_n in_o heaven_n have_v do_v it_o already_o and_o ratify_v it_o for_o in_o absolution_n as_o also_o in_o the_o other_o pardon_v of_o sin_n be_v

if_o on_o earth_n he_o have_v pronounce_v the_o pardon_n the_o second_o point_n the_o weight_n of_o this_o ground_n may_v appear_v mat._n 16.18_o where_o the_o main_a promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n

may_v torment_v his_o body_n but_o this_o can_v be_v a_o bare_a bodily_a punishment_n but_o a_o exclude_v of_o the_o sinner_n from_o the_o communion_n and_o fellowship_n of_o the_o church_n and_o must_v be_v do_v in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o church_n by_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n which_o appear_v to_o be_v so_o vers_n 2._o and_o 4._o again_o if_o it_o have_v be_v mean_v of_o

of_o excommunication_n be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o no_o invention_n of_o man_n for_o even_o in_o this_o verse_n we_o may_v observe_v first_o that_o obstinate_a offender_n be_v to_o be_v

second_o note_v the_o end_n of_o excommunication_n case_n which_o be_v to_o pluck_v man_n out_o of_o the_o fire_n of_o hell_n with_o violence_n and_o therefore_o this_o desperate_a remedy_n be_v
