arbitration_n may_v compose_v and_o end_v the_o difference_n against_o this_o conceit_n i_o bring_v these_o reason_n 1._o this_o company_n be_v to_o be_v call_v together_o by_o the_o offend_a party_n for_o the_o text_n carry_v the_o whole_a manage_n of_o the_o business_n to_o be_v by_o he_o and_o it_o be_v very_o like_o the_o stubborn_a offender_n will_v not_o be_v active_a in_o this_o now_o be_v this_o a_o way_n that_o our_o lord_n will_v prescribe_v for_o take_v away_o the_o distemper_n of_o a_o gall_a mind_n that_o his_o adversary_n so_o the_o stubborn_a offender_n look_v upon_o the_o other_o shall_v choose_v the_o person_n before_o who_o he_o be_v to_o be_v convent_v and_o who_o shall_v judge_n he_o this_o i_o can_v be_v induce_v to_o believe_v except_o i_o see_v more_o proof_n of_o it_o than_o our_o author_n be_v bare_a say_n it_o be_v so_o 2._o we_o must_v conceive_v that_o these_o three_o step_n of_o proceed_v here_o prescribe_v have_v some_o notable_a difference_n one_o from_o another_o and_o be_v remedy_n of_o different_a virtue_n and_o operation_n apply_v to_o this_o stubborn_a disease_n now_o the_o first_o step_n be_v secret_a admonition_n the_o second_o be_v private_a and_o charitable_a not_o judicial_a the_o three_o than_o must_v be_v different_a from_o both_o which_o i_o can_v conceive_v how_o it_o be_v if_o it_o be_v not_o authoritative_a in_o this_o author_n opinion_n it_o be_v no_o more_o but_o this_o when_o two_o or_o three_o friend_n can_v accommodate_v the_o matter_n then_o take_v a_o few_o more_o have_v no_o more_o but_o the_o same_o power_n the_o former_a two_o or_o three_o have_v now_o what_o great_a influence_n can_v 5_o or_o 6_o or_o 10_o have_v to_o persuade_v a_o stiff_a offender_n more_o than_o 2_o or_o or_o 3_o use_v the_o same_o motive_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v imagine_v that_o the_o difference_n can_v be_v such_o as_o christ_n intend_v when_o he_o prescribe_v this_o as_o a_o remedy_n of_o that_o evil_a the_o other_o can_v not_o cure_v 3._o when_o christ_n be_v here_o prescribe_v a_o cure_n for_o offence_n which_o may_v fall_v out_o among_o his_o people_n and_o be_v so_o exact_a in_o describe_v all_o the_o step_n of_o it_o and_o final_a result_n thereof_o we_o must_v conceive_v that_o his_o last_o cure_n will_v be_v such_o as_o will_v effectual_o root_v out_o that_o evil_a so_o as_o that_o it_o do_v not_o any_o more_o hurt_v his_o church_n or_o those_o who_o be_v harm_v by_o it_o now_o if_o the_o last_o mean_v be_v only_a arbitration_n and_o no_o juridical_a authoritative_a act_n this_o end_n can_v never_o be_v attain_v for_o neither_o be_v the_o stubborn_a offender_n gain_v nor_o be_v he_o take_v away_o that_o he_o may_v not_o the_o same_o way_n trouble_v the_o other_o party_n as_o before_o what_o great_a matter_n be_v gain_v if_o the_o wilful_a party_n will_v not_o hear_v this_o advise_v church_n our_o author_n dream_v of_o he_o be_v still_o a_o church-member_n enjoy_v the_o public_a fellowship_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n for_o all_o that_o these_o arbitrator_n can_v do_v and_o suppose_v some_o do_v withdraw_v private_a intimacy_n with_o they_o yet_o we_o can_v think_v that_o all_o be_v oblige_v to_o it_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o private_a arbitrator_n declare_v he_o stubborn_a when_o all_o do_v not_o know_v the_o cause_n which_o make_v they_o so_o determine_v nor_o the_o proof_n that_o do_v convince_v they_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o what_o be_v allege_v against_o he_o it_o be_v then_o evident_a that_o this_o last_o remedy_n of_o the_o miscarriage_n be_v what_o it_o will_v of_o a_o stubborn_a offender_n which_o christ_n here_o prescribe_v be_v a_o authoritative_a act_n and_o therefore_o the_o church_n here_o be_v no_o company_n of_o private_a man_n for_o arbitration_n 4._o though_o we_o grant_v that_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d signify_v any_o company_n call_v together_o yet_o here_o it_o must_v be_v of_o more_o restricted_a signification_n and_o must_v needs_o signify_v a_o company_n call_v out_o of_o the_o world_n by_o the_o gospel_n to_o worship_n god_n and_o to_o serve_v he_o in_o the_o manage_n of_o his_o affair_n and_o institution_n which_o be_v not_o applicable_a to_o a_o company_n of_o arbitrator_n call_v by_o a_o man_n not_o by_o the_o gospel_n to_o agree_v contend_v party_n which_o be_v a_o work_n of_o duty_n common_a to_o all_o the_o world_n and_o none_o of_o the_o special_a work_n of_o the_o church_n as_o distinguish_v from_o other_o society_n now_o that_o the_o word_n church_n must_v be_v thus_o understand_v and_o not_o as_o mr._n still_v will_v have_v it_o i_o prove_v 2_o dly_a it_o be_v constant_o so_o use_v by_o the_o writer_n of_o holy_a scripture_n neither_o can_v a_o instance_n be_v
