Obj. 1Oh but the Apostle may do this out of fellowship, and to avoid envy, as it were making himself a pa•ty with them, as Ezra did cap. 9. that included himself in the number of the offenders, though he had no hand in the offence: O our God (saith he) what shall we say? Our evil deeds, &c. and how shall we stand before thee because of this? making a particular confession, whereas he was not accessory to the fault, but to sweeten it to them.
