Confirm your love to him in Christ, you must By all such ways as honest are, and just. Shy be not of him, carry it not aloof, But rather give him of your love such proof, ⟨image 28⟩•hat he may gather thence, ye do believe •o mercy Christ again doth him receive.1

Two things, monish you, as to this, I would; The first, to show the Church wherein she should •n all her actions so her self behave, As to convince the faulty, she would save His soul: and that 'tis for this very thing, •he doth him unto open Judgment bring. Then would I show the Person they reject, What will, without repentance, be the' effect Of this tremendous Censure, so conclude; Leaving my Judgment to the multitude Of those who sober and judicious be, Begging of each of them a Prayer for me.
