repair_v the_o injury_n we_o have_v do_v to_o religion_n and_o to_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n by_o whatsoever_o offence_n we_o have_v occasion_v and_o that_o we_o may_v so_o do_v it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o consider_v the_o several_a way_n whereby_o offence_n may_v be_v take_v that_o so_o we_o may_v avoid_v it_o in_o those_o instance_n and_o if_o we_o be_v conscious_a to_o ourselves_o of_o have_v be_v guilty_a in_o any_o of_o they_o we_o may_v repent_v and_o reform_v for_o the_o future_a here_o begin_v the_o second_o sermon_n i._o one_o way_n of_o offend_a be_v the_o draw_v of_o our_o brethren_n into_o erroneous_a opinion_n i_o mean_v such_o as_o have_v a_o ill_a influence_n upon_o man_n life_n and_o nature_n i_o do_v mean_v such_o as_o be_v mere_o not_o true_a for_o there_o be_v divers_a point_n relate_v to_o religion_n so_o disputable_a as_o that_o no_o man_n can_v certain_o tell_v whether_o he_o be_v not_o mistake_v in_o they_o if_o i_o shall_v make_v he_o guilty_a of_o this_o sin_n of_o offend_a who_o happen_v to_o lead_v his_o brother_n into_o any_o false_a notion_n i_o shall_v be_v force_v to_o assert_v that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v guilty_a of_o give_v offence_n and_o not_o be_v able_a to_o know_v he_o be_v so_o but_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v imagine_v that_o a_o sin_n which_o have_v so_o great_a a_o woe_n attend_v it_o as_o this_o in_o the_o text_n can_v possible_o be_v a_o sin_n of_o unavoidable_a infirmity_n or_o invincible_a ignorance_n so_o that_o i_o say_v by_o erroneous_a opinion_n i_o mean_v such_o as_o be_v apt_a in_o their_o own_o nature_n to_o lead_v man_n into_o sin_n to_o make_v man_n irreligious_a or_o to_o encourage_v to_o any_o particular_a sin_n or_o to_o the_o neglect_n of_o any_o necessary_a duty_n and_o all_o such_o we_o be_v certain_a be_v erroneous_a and_o contrary_a to_o the_o true_a sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o god_n word_n because_o they_o have_v such_o a_o tendency_n i_o will_v give_v a_o few_o instance_n of_o such_o false_a and_o corrupt_a principle_n viz._n that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o sin_n that_o he_o not_o only_o foreknow_v all_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n but_o have_v also_o decree_v they_o which_o in_o other_o word_n be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o former_a that_o all_o man_n fate_n be_v determine_v absolute_o that_o be_v without_o respect_n to_o their_o future_a obedience_n or_o disobedience_n that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o do_v evil_a that_o good_a may_v come_v that_o good_a work_n be_v not_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n that_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v vnconditional_a that_o religion_n be_v a_o mere_a passive_a thing_n not_o our_o work_n at_o all_o but_o whole_o god_n in_o we_o that_o mere_a attrition_n or_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n for_o fear_n of_o hell_n be_v able_a to_o bring_v a_o sinner_n to_o justification_n if_o accompany_v with_o the_o sacrament_n of_o penance_n 4._o which_o be_v a_o doctrine_n plain_o deliver_v in_o the_o council_n

of_o god_n and_o to_o this_o our_o church_n they_o be_v good_a for_o nothing_o but_o to_o cause_v schism_n and_o faction_n but_o to_o destroy_v all_o good_a order_n and_o bring_v in_o confusion_n as_o
