OXFORD HISTORY.
" All which is apprehended to be a direct and scandelous breach of ye 9th Commandment, and highly prejudicial to Truth and Justice. And fur- thermore is yt criminal slandring and Backbiting, and evil-speaking which is expressly, and repeatedly forbiden in God's Holy Word, and so is highly dis- honourable to God, and justly Matter of Offence to all ye People of God. That ye Complainant being justly grieved, and offended, did according to ye . Direction of our Lord Jesus Christ, in such case provided, go to ye sd Sam11 Wheler, and betwene him and himself alone told him his Fault, but he re- fusing to hear him, sd Complainant proceeded according to ye above men- tioned Direction, to take two of ye Brethren of sd Chh, and did with them go again and tell him his Fault, but without ye desired effect, and to his grief. And now according to Christs Rule he finds himself obliged to tell ye Matter, as he now does to the Chh hoping his offending Brother, who has refused to hear him or ye Brethren with him will hear ye Chh, wherefore ye sd Com- plainant desires his Revª Pastor, and Brethren in Christ, to take Cog- nissance of the sd Matter, and Hear, Judge, Weigh, and determine sd Cause on hearing ye Evidence sd Complainant has in Readiness to produce in sup- port of ye Charge, brought in this Complaint, when called thereto.
