Nothing is more ordinary, than to fall from one extreme to another. These Corinthians that were so negligent in good order, that many pollutions were suffered amongst them; insomuch that Gods judgements had surprised them for their default herein. Now when awakened to do their ⟨p. 81⟩duty, they are ready to overdo, and from too much remissness, to fall into too much severity. Thus in many other things we might instance, how the Churches of God have fallen from one extremity to another; but this subject, especially as it relateth to Church-Discipline will be more suitably treated of in Chap. 2.
