They said not that without good advisement, that if any of the faithful shall be unjustly excommunicated, it shall be rather hurtful unto him that doth, then to him that suffereth the injury. For the holy ghost dwelling in the saints, by whom every man is bound or loosed, doth punish no man wrongfully, for by him is love poured into our harts, which doth not amiss. The peace of yt Church forgiveth sins: & can he that is out of the peace of the church, detain his sins? Not according to the sentence of men, but according to the will of God, the rock retaineth sins, and the rock remitteth 1them. The dove retaineth, & the dove forgiveth. In like manner saith Solomon even as a bird flying to an uncertain place, and as any sparrow flying in the air, so a curse in vain cast out, cometh on him, who sent it.

He that is just, and is unjustly cursed, to him is it turned for a reward
HEe that is iust, and is vniustly cursed, to him is it turned for a reward
ON whom sentence is given, let him give over his error, and it is voided: but if the judgment be unjust, for so much he need not to care, for as much as before God, and in his church wrongful judgment can •urt no man. Therefore let him not desire to be absolved of that, whereby he persuadeth him self to be nothing bound.
ON whome sentence is geuen, let him geue ouer his errour, and it is voyded: but if the iudgment bee vniust, for so much hee neede not to care, for as much as before God, and in his church wrongfull iudgment can •urt no man. Therfore let hym not desyer to be absolued of that, whereby hee perswadeth hym selfe to bee nothing bounde.
Thou hast undertaken to account thy brother as a publican, or infidel and thou bindest him on earth: but see that thou bind him justly, for justice will break unlawful bonds.

Rash judgment for the most part never hurteth him which is rashly judged: but to him that judgeth rashly, his rashness must needs be hurtful.
RAshe iudgment for the most part neuer hurteth him which is rashlye iudged: but to him that iudgeth rashly, his rashnes must needes bee hurtfull.
