by thou wilt be guilty of his Perdition: For it is not fair to be too hafty in cafting out an Offender, but flow in receiving him when he returns; to be forward in cutting off, but unmerciful when he is forrowful, and ought to be healed.

Forgive, Mar.xi 2 and ye shall be forgiven; give, Luk.vi.38 and it shall be given to you. That is, Give Remiffion of Sins, and your Offences shall be forgiven you. As alfo, He inftructed us by his Prayer to fay unto God, Forgive Matovi. 123 us our Debts, as we forgive our Debtors.

not you rather bind your ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν, è felves fafter, by pretending ἀφεθήσεται ὑμῖν τὰ in your Prayers to forgive, when you really do not forgive? Will you not be confronted with your ownwords, when you fay you forgive,and do not forgive? For know ye, that he who cafts out one who has not behav'd himfelf wickedly, or who will not receive him that returns, is a Murtherer of his Brother,and fheds his Blood, as Cain did that of his Gen.iv.10 Brother Abel; and his Blood cries to God, and will be requir'd. For a righteous Man unjuftly flain by any one, will be in Reft with God for ever. The fame is the Cafe of him who without Caufe is feparated by his Bilhop. He who has caft him out as a peftilent Fellow, when he was innocent, is more furious than a Murderer. Such an one has no regard to the Mercy of God, nor is mindful of his Goodnets to thofethat are penitent; nor keeping in his Eye the Examples of thofe,
