admonition_n this_o admonition_n have_v no_o new_a reason_n to_o inform_v the_o judgement_n which_o be_v already_o presuppose_a to_o be_v do_v but_o it_o add_v these_o two_o 1._o it_o have_v a_o concur_v weight_n to_o affect_v the_o conscience_n which_o have_v withstand_v or_o smother_v the_o light_n and_o so_o it_o be_v with_o god_n bl●…ssing_n useful_a to_o make_v former_a despise_a light_n more_o serious_o and_o impartial_o to_o be_v weigh_v and_o consider_v when_o in_o his_o name_n the_o admonition_n be_v particular_o upon_o that_o account_n direct_v to_o they_o 2._o it_o be_v a_o warning_n give_v advertisement_n of_o some_o sad_a thing_n come_v if_o they_o shall_v continue_v to_o reject_v the_o truth_n and_o so_o it_o be_v a_o shore_v of_o they_o for_o that_o particular_a fault_n before_o the_o stroke_n be_v lay_v on_o that_o either_o by_o god_n blessing_n it_o may_v humble_v and_o soften_v they_o and_o so_o put_v they_o to_o endeavour_v the_o prevent_n of_o the_o come_a stroke_n or_o if_o they_o continue_v stubborn_a it_o may_v make_v they_o more_o inexcusable_a and_o thus_o there_o be_v the_o clear_a access_n to_o proceed_v to_o rejection_n this_o admonition_n admonition_n may_v be_v consider_v in_o these_o three_o step_n 1._o it_o may_v be_v in_o private_a after_o the_o minister_n confer_v with_o the_o person_n and_o his_o find_v they_o guilty_a he_o may_v not_o only_o instruct_v they_o but_o afterward_o if_o they_o continue_v admonish_v they_o and_o that_o as_o a_o minister_n in_o the_o name_n and_o authority_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v more_o than_o the_o admonition_n of_o a_o private_a person_n 2._o there_o be_v a_o step_n of_o this_o admonition_n to_o be_v pass_v judicial_o by_o a_o church-judicatory_a when_o the_o person_n be_v bring_v before_o they_o whereby_o they_o judicial_o interpose_v their_o authority_n to_o admonish_v such_o a_o person_n of_o the_o evil_a of_o his_o way_n and_o of_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o present_a duty_n of_o repentance_n for_o the_o same_o like_o that_o which_o sinful_o and_o most_o abominable_o be_v misapply_v by_o the_o priest_n and_o pharisee_n act._n 4._o 5._o yet_o that_o in_o the_o general_a there_o be_v such_o a_o admonition_n be_v apparent_a the_o 3._o step_n be_v public_o before_o the_o people_n wherein_o after_o the_o former_a have_v fail_v in_o reach_v the_o desire_a end_n the_o party_n infect_v be_v solemn_o and_o public_o admonish_v before_o the_o congregation_n in_o which_o step_n 1._o the_o party_n good_a be_v to_o be_v respect_v that_o now_o it_o may_v be_v try_v if_o the_o admonition_n both_o of_o officer_n and_o people_n who_o be_v suppose_v to_o join_v in_o this_o public_a admonition_n may_v have_v weight_n 2._o it_o be_v useful_a for_o the_o people_n to_o guard_v they_o against_o such_o a_o evil_a and_o such_o a_o person_n 3._o if_o it_o succeed_v not_o it_o leave_v the_o person_n more_o inexcusable_a and_o convince_v all_o of_o the_o justice_n and_o necessity_n of_o proceed_v further_o and_o so_o tend_v to_o make_v the_o sentence_n to_o be_v the_o more_o respect_v by_o all_o this_o we_o conceive_v be_v the_o admonition_n intend_v tit._n 3._o 10._o and_o answer_v to_o that_o public_a rebuke_n speak_v of_o 1_o tim._n 5._o 20._o in_o carrying-on_a these_o admonition_n these_o thing_n admonish_v will_v be_v observe_v 1._o that_o there_o be_v no_o great_a haste_v except_o the_o person_n readiness_n and_o diligence_n to_o infect_v other_o require_v the_o same_o in_o which_o case_n there_o be_v no_o delay_n to_o be_v admit_v 2._o all_o these_o step_n of_o admonition_n will_v be_v so_o carried-on_a as_o become_v a_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o the_o weight_n of_o they_o may_v lie_v there_o 3._o there_o be_v difference_n to_o be_v put_v betwixt_o give_v of_o a_o admonition_n and_o enter_v of_o a_o debate_n for_o conference_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o
