spirit_n of_o meekness_n one_o towards_o another_o my_o great_a design_n be_v to_o persuade_v those_o that_o be_v not_o faulty_a as_o to_o the_o first_o but_o be_v of_o undoubted_a loyalty_n to_o the_o king_n that_o they_o will_v not_o be_v fail_v as_o to_o the_o second_o they_o be_v both_o very_a

whoever_o they_o be_v they_o be_v a_o great_a offence_n to_o all_o pious_a and_o good_a christian_n who_o hear_v of_o their_o ill_a deportment_n which_o may_v be_v of_o good_a use_n to_o those_o that_o have_v be_v ill_o treat_v by_o they_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v discourage_v by_o those_o miscarriage_n which_o be_v as_o offensive_a to_o we_o as_o they_o be_v to_o they_o and_o it_o shall_v be_v of_o good_a use_n to_o they_o that_o have_v be_v guilty_a in_o this_o matter_n they_o shall_v consider_v that_o as_o our_o saviour_n say_v to_o his_o furious_a disciple_n they_o know_v not_o what_o spirit_n they_o be_v of_o they_o do_v not_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v neither_o please_v to_o magistrate_n nor_o minister_n nor_o yet_o to_o any_o good_a christian_n who_o be_v of_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n and_o who_o be_v as_o great_a enemy_n to_o division_n and_o separation_n as_o they_o can_v be_v but_o 4._o it_o be_v a_o great_a and_o unwarrantable_a offence_n to_o those_o who_o have_v dissent_v we_o be_v as_o i_o have_v already_o mention_v to_o show_v all_o meekness_n unto_o all_o man_n and_o we_o be_v exceed_o to_o rejoice_v in_o any_o opportunity_n of_o express_v love_n and_o kindness_n it_o be_v a_o very_a great_a mistake_n if_o any_o think_v that_o a_o man_n can_v show_v respect_n and_o kindness_n to_o another_o but_o he_o must_v be_v a_o favourer_n of_o his_o opinion_n we_o may_v easy_o propound_v to_o ourselves_o sufficient_a reason_n why_o we_o shall_v love_v every_o man_n let_v his_o judgement_n be_v what_o it_o will_v and_o i_o be_o sure_a that_o there_o be_v the_o great_a necessity_n of_o show_v kindness_n to_o those_o who_o have_v dissent_v that_o we_o may_v be_v the_o better_a able_a to_o rectify_v their_o judgement_n and_o to_o convince_v they_o of_o their_o mistake_v but_o more_o particular_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n hint_v in_o the_o text_n why_o we_o shall_v not_o offend_v such_o but_o restore_v they_o with_o a_o spirit_n of_o meekness_n 1._o the_o first_o i_o take_v from_o the_o apostle_n compellation_n brethren_n as_o he_o give_v that_o title_n to_o the_o galatian_n who_o have_v be_v exceed_o to_o blame_v for_o indulge_v their_o error_n and_o mistake_v so_o shall_v we_o to_o those_o that_o have_v separate_v from_o we_o i_o know_v the_o devil_n as_o i_o have_v already_o mention_v have_v by_o his_o factor_n abroad_o send_v other_o name_n among_o we_o and_o they_o pass_v very_o ready_o but_o if_o we_o look_v into_o the_o scripture_n and_o consult_v the_o gospel_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o our_o saviour_n and_o his_o apostle_n have_v only_o furnish_v we_o with_o such_o title_n as_o signify_v love_n such_o as_o may_v oblige_v and_o win_v upon_o those_o that_o have_v err_v and_o not_o such_o as_o may_v provoke_v or_o discourage_v they_o it_o be_v true_a that_o when_o our_o saviour_n speak_v of_o those_o who_o have_v so_o offend_v that_o they_o will_v not_o be_v reclaim_v by_o the_o secret_a admonition_n of_o he_o who_o they_o have_v trespass_v against_o which_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o a_o most_o sweet_a and_o pleasant_a temper_n of_o mind_n and_o therefore_o show_v that_o the_o offend_a person_n be_v very_o stubborn_a and_o obstinate_a nor_o regard_v the_o counsel_n of_o one_o or_o two_o more_o who_o come_v as_o well_o to_o plead_v with_o they_o that_o they_o may_v amend_v as_o to_o be_v witness_n against_o they_o if_o they_o continue_v obstinate_a nor_o regard_v the_o public_a complaint_n make_v against_o they_o to_o the_o church_n which_o be_v the_o last_o remedy_n his_o direction_n be_v that_o such_o shall_v be_v account_v as_o a_o heathen_a man_n and_z a_o publican_n that_o be_v their_o society_n shall_v be_v avoid_v and_o they_o shall_v have_v no_o communion_n with_o they_o or_o as_o dr._n hammond_n explain_v it_o in_o his_o paraphrase_n upon_o the_o place_n look_v upon_o he_o as_o a_o desperate_a deplore_a sinner_n fit_a for_o the_o censure_n of_o the_o church_n to_o overtake_v he_o our_o saviour_n say_v if_o thy_o brother_n offend_v thou_o &_o thou_o have_v gain_v thy_o brother_n which_o show_v that_o when_o man_n have_v offend_v they_o must_v not_o present_o be_v cast_v off_o with_o wrath_n and_o indignation_n but_o there_o must_v be_v the_o love_n of_o a_o brother_n still_o continue_v and_o it_o must_v appear_v in_o the_o method_n which_o be_v to_o be_v use_v for_o the_o reclaim_n of_o he_o the_o reason_n why_o our_o saviour_n require_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v tell_v his_o fault_n private_o be_v that_o he_o may_v be_v reclaim_v and_o not_o be_v expose_v to_o any_o shame_n or_o reproach_n for_o what_o he_o have_v do_v by_o which_o a_o man_n show_v the_o love_n and_o tenderness_n of_o a_o brother_n but_o i_o be_o sure_a they_o be_v very_o far_o from_o observe_v this_o rule_n and_o from_o express_v this_o love_n and_o tenderness_n of_o a_o brother_n who_o never_o tell_v man_n their_o fault_n private_o nor_o with_o one_o or_o two_o more_o but_o take_v occasion_n to_o upbraid_v they_o with_o their_o fault_n public_o and_o it_o be_v at_o that_o time_n too_o when_o they_o be_v mend_v their_o fault_n and_o therefore_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o want_v a_o private_a admonition_n i_o do_v the_o rather_o mention_v this_o of_o our_o saviour_n because_o though_o it_o seem_v to_o relate_v only_o to_o personal_a offence_n if_o thy_o brother_n shall_v trespass_v against_o thou_o etc._n etc._n yet_o doubtless_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o any_o offence_n whatsoever_o because_o they_o give_v occasion_n to_o christian_n to_o exercise_v their_o charity_n towards_o the_o soul_n of_o their_o brethren_n as_o well_o as_o any_o personal_a offence_n commit_v by_o they_o the_o apostle_n follow_v this_o rule_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o require_v that_o whatsoever_o offence_n man_n be_v guilty_a of_o yet_o still_o they_o be_v to_o be_v account_v brethren_n and_o the_o love_n of_o a_o brother_n be_v to_o be_v show_v to_o they_o i_o will_v mention_v but_o one_o and_o it_o have_v a_o special_a relation_n to_o the_o case_n that_o i_o have_v in_o hand_n 2_o thes_n 3._o v._n 14.15_o and_o if_o any_o one_o obey_v not_o our_o word_n by_o this_o epistle_n note_v that_o man_n and_o have_v no_o company_n with_o he_o that_o he_o may_v be_v ashamed_a and_o what_o follow_v do_v the_o apostle_n by_o this_o encourage_v they_o to_o cast_v contempt_n and_o scorn_n upon_o he_o wheresoever_o they_o see_v he_o no_o but_o require_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o tender_a love_n show_v to_o he_o yet_o count_v he_o not_o as_o a_o enemy_n but_o admonish_v he_o as_o a_o brother_n these_o two_o verse_n have_v a_o special_a relation_n to_o that_o which_o go_v before_o at_o the_o 11_o verse_n for_o we_o hear_v that_o there_o be_v some_o which_o walk_v among_o you_o disorderly_o work_v not_o at_o all_o but_o be_v busy-body_n there_o be_v such_o person_n among_o the_o thessalonian_o as_o we_o have_v too_o many_o of_o they_o among_o we_o who_o be_v disorderly_a person_n that_o have_v rather_o mind_v any_o other_o business_n than_o that_o which_o belong_v to_o they_o and_o instead_o of_o mind_v their_o work_n they_o be_v dispute_v the_o order_n of_o the_o church_n and_o by_o what_o authority_n it_o be_v that_o the_o governor_n of_o it_o require_v this_o or_o that_o to_o be_v do_v for_o which_o there_o be_v no_o express_a rule_n such_o person_n as_o these_o be_v must_v needs_o be_v exceed_o offensive_a to_o the_o governor_n of_o the_o church_n because_o of_o their_o haughtiness_n and_o insolency_n and_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v very_o offensive_a to_o all_o religious_a member_n of_o the_o church_n because_o they_o disturb_v the_o peace_n unity_n and_o harmony_n which_o shall_v be_v among_o the_o worshipper_n of_o god_n but_o however_o though_o their_o offence_n be_v so_o great_a that_o other_o christian_n of_o better_a temper_n be_v to_o avoid_v their_o company_n yet_o when_o occasion_n be_v offer_v they_o be_v to_o admonish_v they_o as_o brethren_n as_o those_o for_o who_o they_o still_o retain_v a_o great_a love_n and_o hearty_a desire_n for_o their_o good_a we_o ought_v to_o retain_v a_o love_n for_o they_o in_o reference_n to_o their_o temporal_a concern_v and_o to_o be_v very_o sorry_a that_o they_o shall_v incur_v any_o penalty_n which_o may_v tend_v
