A85952	The golden mean: being some serious considerations, together with some cases of conscience resolved; for a more full, and frequent administration of, yet not free admission unto, the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. / By Stephen Geree, minister of God's word, and pastor of the Church of Abinger in the county of Surrey.	Geree, Stephen, 1594-1656?	1656 (1656)	Wing G607; Thomason E1667_1; ESTC R208393	36,650	111

none_o so_o fit_a to_o examine_v ordinary_o as_o minister_n who_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v man_n approve_v for_o knowledge_n judgement_n and_o holiness_n and_o hereupon_o i_o argue_v further_o thus_o if_o invincible_a ignorance_n do_v make_v child_n and_o fool_n unfit_a to_o be_v admit_v to_o this_o holy_a supper_n much_o more_o will_v affect_a ignorance_n which_o make_v they_o not_o only_o incapable_a but_o unworthy_a of_o admittance_n because_o by_o their_o negligence_n they_o be_v disable_v from_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n and_o so_o must_v need_v ●at_a and_o drink_v unworthy_o 1_v cor._n 11.29_o add_v hereunto_o that_o the_o prelatical_a party_n who_o have_v be_v most_o backward_o in_o this_o business_n of_o examination_n can_v deny_v but_o that_o confirmation_n be_v appoint_v by_o our_o first_o reformer_n and_o that_o none_o shall_v be_v confirm_v by_o the_o bishop_n communion_n see_v the_o rubric_n about_o confirmation_n and_o before_o the_o communion_n but_o such_o as_o can_v say_v the_o catechism_n and_o that_o none_o shall_v be_v admit_v to_o the_o communion_n until_o such_o time_n as_o they_o can_v say_v the_o catechism_n and_o be_v confirm_v and_o therefore_o the_o minister_n be_v appoint_v to_o catechise_v such_o as_o be_v to_o be_v confirm_v and_o all_o father_n mother_n master_n and_o dame_n shall_v cause_v their_o child_n servant_n and_o apprentice_n which_o have_v not_o learn_v their_o catechism_n to_o come_v to_o the_o church_n at_o the_o time_n appoint_v and_o obedient_o to_o hear_v and_o be_v order_v by_o the_o curate_n until_o such_o time_n as_o they_o have_v learn_v all_o that_o be_v appoint_v for_o they_o to_o learn_v now_o this_o be_v in_o many_o place_n neglect_v on_o all_o side_n minister_n not_o catechise_v or_o very_o few_o of_o they_o and_o likewise_o parent_n and_o master_n etc._n etc._n be_v backward_o to_o bring_v their_o child_n and_o servant_n to_o learn_v the_o catechism_n and_o bishop_n as_o careless_a as_o any_o t●_n see_v it_o do_v and_o so_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n the_o cause_n of_o the_o neglect_n of_o the_o other_o who_o they_o have_v power_n by_o their_o court_n to_o compel_v have_v they_o not_o want_v care_n and_o conscience_n hence_o most_o sort_v of_o people_n do_v still_o remain_v very_o ignorant_a of_o the_o ground_n of_o religion_n be_v altogether_o uncatechise_v wherefore_o let_v any_o man_n judge_n what_o need_v there_o be_v now_o of_o more_o than_o ordinary_a examination_n or_o catechise_n almost_o of_o all_o sort_n in_o regard_n of_o knowledge_n so_o that_o a_o great_a many_o that_o mutter_v and_o make_v much_o ado_n against_o examination_n as_o if_o it_o be_v so_o tyrannical_a and_o much_o worse_a than_o episcopal_a government_n do_v say_v they_o know_v not_o what_o for_o though_o episcopal_a government_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o execution_n of_o that_o office_n fall_v short_a in_o this_o particular_a yet_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o right_a constitution_n thereof_o the_o bishop_n shall_v have_v cause_v as_o much_o to_o have_v be_v do_v as_o be_v of_o late_o require_v by_o moderate_a presbyterian_o and_o it_o be_v their_o sin_n and_o shame_n that_o they_o do_v it_o not_o see_v the_o rubric_n about_o confirmation_n and_o before_o the_o communion_n case_n 3._o but_o shall_v the_o scandalous_a be_v admit_v to_o this_o holy_a communion_n what_o shall_v be_v do_v with_o they_o sol._n 1_o i_o think_v they_o shall_v indeed_o be_v excommunicate_v from_o all_o public_a communion_n in_o holy_a ordinance_n those_o i_o mean_v that_o be_v prove_v scandalous_a and_o will_v not_o be_v admonish_v nor_o submit_v and_o acknowledge_v their_o crime_n and_o heinous_a offence_n second_o see_v that_o in_o most_o congregation_n there_o want_v sufficient_a power_n for_o authoritative_a excommunication_n i_o think_v it_o very_o difficult_a what_o to_o determine_v in_o this_o business_n and_o that_o because_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o judge_v what_o be_v scandal_n and_o also_o who_o be_v scandalous_a learned_a man_n be_v much_o divide_v in_o this_o particular_a therefore_o i_o conceive_v it_o too_o great_a a_o burden_n to_o be_v put_v upon_o the_o minister_n alone_o unless_o he_o be_v more_o infallible_a than_o most_o can_v possible_o be_v imagine_v or_o unless_o there_o be_v public_a law_n to_o regulate_v and_o determine_v what_o shall_v be_v account_v a_o scandal_n and_o who_o and_o when_o scandalous_a sol._n 3_o three_o i_o add_v where_o no_o government_n be_v set_v up_o as_o in_o most_o place_n there_o neither_o be_v nor_o well_o can_v be_v as_o yet_o rebus_fw-la sic_fw-la stantibus_fw-la for_o want_v of_o fit_a officer_n if_o there_o be_v any_o so_o gross_o scandalous_a that_o there_o need_v no_o examination_n or_o other_o proof_n as_o in_o case_n of_o bastardy_n common-drunkennesse_n or_o the_o like_a if_o any_o such_o shall_v offer_v to_o come_v to_o the_o holy_a communion_n he_o be_v to_o be_v admonish_v &_o if_o he_o do_v open_o confess_v his_o sin_n and_o profess_v his_o hearty_a sorrow_n for_o the_o same_o &_o promise_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n to_o endeavour_n amendment_n i_o know_v no_o reason_n in_o all_o the_o word_n of_o god_n why_o he_o shall_v be_v put_v by_o but_o if_o he_o will_v not_o be_v admonish_v but_o seek_v to_o justify_v himself_o or_o excuse_v the_o matter_n and_o remain_v obstinate_a he_o deserve_v to_o be_v excommunicate_v and_o cast_v out_o of_o the_o congregation_n but_o for_o want_v of_o discipline_n whereby_o this_o may_v be_v legal_o do_v i_o suppose_v the_o minister_n if_o there_o be_v any_o that_o will_v join_v with_o he_o to_o testify_v the_o scandal_n and_o obstinacy_n may_v in_o such_o a_o case_n pass_v h●m_n by_o 9_o 1_o cor._n
