A84062	The nullity of church-censures: or A dispute written by that illustrious philosopher, expert physician, and pious divine Dr Thomas Erastus, publick professor in the University of Heidelbertge, and Basil. Wherein is proved by the holy Scriptures, and sound reason; that excommunication, and church-senates or members, exercising the same, are not of divine institution; but a meere humane invention.	Erastus, Thomas, 1542-1583.	1659 (1659)	Wing E3217; Thomason E1783_2; ESTC R209663	63,863	128

so_o they_o have_v the_o gift_n of_o strike_v as_o appear_v in_o the_o 5.13_o of_o the_o act_n for_o this_o cause_n we_o do_v not_o read_v that_o the_o apostle_n ordain_v any_o man_n who_o be_v command_v to_o exercise_v this_o power_n wherefore_o the_o apostle_n write_v in_o divers_a place_n that_o he_o will_v come_v with_o authority_n that_o he_o will_v become_v sharp_a and_o rigid_a that_o he_o will_v act_v according_a to_o the_o power_n give_v he_o of_o god_n that_o he_o will_v come_v with_o a_o rod_n he_o command_v that_o the_o sinner_n may_v be_v signify_v to_o he_o by_o a_o epistle_n but_o he_o command_v in_o no_o place_n this_o to_o the_o presbyter_n that_o be_v no_o doubt_n that_o this_o power_n be_v then_o give_v to_o the_o apostle_n and_o to_o none_o other_o hitherto_o it_o belong_v that_o which_o he_o write_v 1_o tim._n 1._o of_o hymeneus_n and_o alexander_n that_o he_o not_o the_o church_n not_o the_o presbytery_n not_o any_o other_o have_v deliver_v they_o to_o satan_n lix_n by_o circumstance_n and_o argument_n i_o have_v evident_o show_v that_o to_o deliver_v to_o satan_n be_v another_o thing_n then_o to_o keep_v back_o from_o the_o sacrament_n which_o now_o i_o shall_v more_o clear_o demonstrate_v from_o the_o word_n themselves_o also_o and_o from_o the_o propriety_n and_o nature_n of_o the_o speech_n first_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o say_v why_o have_v you_o not_o interdict_v this_o wicked_a man_n the_o use_n of_o the_o supper_n but_o he_o say_v this_o why_o have_v you_o not_o sorrow_v that_o be_v why_o have_v you_o not_o beseech_v god_n by_o your_o sorrow_n and_o prayer_n that_o he_o will_v take_v away_o by_o whatsoever_o mean_n this_o man_n from_o among_o you_o augustin_n in_o his_o 3._o book_n against_o parman_n so_o interprete_v this_o place_n but_o say_v he_o that_o he_o may_v be_v take_v away_o with_o sorrow_n that_o be_v that_o the_o sorrow_n of_o the_o lamenter_n may_v ascend_v unto_o god_n and_o he_o may_v take_v away_o this_o work_n from_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o as_o he_o think_v fit_a he_o expound_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n of_o way_n those_o word_n which_o the_o same_o apostle_n have_v in_o the_o 12._o chap._n concern_v sorrow_n they_o agree_v likewise_o with_o augustin_n and_o with_o the_o truth_n who_o think_v the_o apostle_n allude_v to_o the_o place_n 1_o king_n 21._o out_o of_o which_o place_n we_o conjecture_v that_o this_o custom_n be_v keep_v by_o the_o ancient_a jew_n that_o they_o shall_v search_v out_o enormeous_a crime_n by_o fast_v pray_v and_o public_a sorrow_n and_o be_v find_v out_o they_o do_v not_o punish_v they_o according_a to_o the_o law_n wherefore_o see_v the_o church_n want_v the_o sword_n he_o do_v exhort_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v obtain_v from_o god_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o middle_n of_o they_o which_o be_v far_o different_a from_o that_o which_o we_o call_v to_o excommunicate_fw-la any_o man_n moreover_o

for_o i_o believe_v that_o no_o man_n will_v ever_o demonstrate_v that_o the_o apostle_n command_v he_o only_o to_o be_v keep_v from_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o from_o the_o private_a

the_o same_o as_o we_o may_v easy_o perceive_v by_o history_n and_o may_v gather_v by_o a_o sure_a conjecture_n from_o the_o 18._o of_o the_o acts._n li._n neither_o be_v it_o repugnant_a to_o what_o

he_o ought_v not_o in_o the_o time_n of_o a_o inter-regnum_a to_o wit_n when_o festus_n be_v now_o dead_a and_o albinus_n be_v but_o yet_o on_o his_o journey_n to_o gather_v together_o a_o

of_o caesar_n not_o king_n because_o he_o will_v not_o admit_v the_o name_n of_o a_o king_n and_o exerce_fw-la the_o kingly_a power_n before_o he_o be_v confirm_v by_o caesar_n be_v the_o magistracy_n of_o any_o town_n which_o have_v a_o prince_n as_o there_o be_v many_o such_o in_o german_a therefore_o no_o true_a unlawful_a magistracy_n because_o the_o prince_n be_v dead_a they_o be_v compel_v to_o require_v a_o confirmation_n of_o their_o privilege_n from_o his_o successor_n now_o that_o the_o high_a priest_n have_v power_n to_o convocate_v the_o judge_n of_o the_o synedrium_fw-la the_o

profane_a magistrate_n as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n 1_o cor._n 6._o excellent_o expound_v it_o where_o he_o command_v they_o for_o this_o cause_n to_o choose_v man_n of_o their_o own_o order_n to_o be_v arbitrator_n but_o who_o doubt_v that_o this_o can_v have_v no_o place_n where_o god_n bestow_v on_o we_o a_o godly_a magistrate_n indeed_o augustin_n in_o his_o second_o book_n of_o faith_n and_o work_v clear_o enough_o declare_v that_o he_o believe_v that_o excommunication_n shall_v supply_v the_o place_n of_o the_o visible_a sword_n at_o that_o time_n when_o the_o church_n want_v it_o for_o the_o fact_n of_o moses_n in_o punish_v transgressor_n with_o the_o sword_n and_o as_o phineas_n kill_v the_o adulterer_n do_v prefigurate_a the_o punish_n of_o the_o evil_a by_o degradation_n and_o excommunication_n to_o wit_n at_o that_o time_n when_o the_o sword_n be_v to_o cease_v in_o the_o visible_a church_n i_o remember_v that_o some_o of_o the_o late_a writer_n do_v affirm_v that_o the_o jew_n therefore_o do_v observe_v this_o custom_n of_o excommunication_n which_o i_o have_v prove_v to_o be_v false_a with_o unanswerable_a argument_n and_o testimony_n because_o the_o sword_n be_v take_v from_o they_o but_o if_o this_o be_v true_a it_o will_v follow_v that_o it_o shall_v have_v no_o place_n in_o the_o christian_a church_n which_o keep_v the_o power_n of_o the_o sword_n even_o as_o we_o be_v not_o necessitate_v now_o to_o appoint_v other_o judge_n and_o arbitrator_n to_o ourselves_o beside_o the_o lawful_a magistrate_n therefore_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o the_o word_n church_n in_o matthew_n signify_v nothing_o less_o than_o a_o ecclesiastic_a senate_n which_o shall_v have_v power_n to_o debar_v from_o the_o sacrament_n liii_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n that_o may_v be_v object_v to_o we_o first_o how_o one_o can_v hear_v the_o church_n if_o it_o be_v the_o magistrate_n and_o have_v the_o power_n of_o the_o sword_n next_o how_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o bind_v and_o lose_v can_v be_v fit_v to_o this_o cause_n to_o the_o first_o we_o answer_v before_o that_o the_o jew_n have_v not_o power_n to_o judge_n of_o all_o matter_n whatsoever_o but_o that_o all_o controversy_n almost_o which_o do_v not_o concern_v religion_n belong_v to_o the_o roman_a judicatory_a if_o then_o in_o those_o thing_n any_o man_n will_v neglect_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o synedrium_fw-la christ_n give_v he_o that_o be_v hurt_v leave_n to_o pursue_v his_o right_n before_o the_o gentile_n as_o if_o he_o be_v to_o dispute_v with_o a_o gentile_a or_o publican_n add_v this_o that_o many_o cause_n do_v occur_v which_o the_o law_n inparticular_a do_v not_o punish_v or_o do_v not_o forbidunder_o a_o certain_a punishment_n at_o which_o time_n it_o easy_o happen_v that_o the_o guilty_a be_v send_v only_o away_o with_o a_o rebuke_n but_o if_o yet_o he_o do_v not_o leave_v off_o to_o be_v injurious_a he_o that_o be_v offend_v by_o he_o may_v be_v instant_a with_o the_o church_n or_o magistrate_n that_o he_o may_v be_v punish_v for_o his_o petulancy_n albeit_o this_o answer_n also_o be_v true_a nevertheless_o the_o first_o answer_n seem_v unto_o i_o to_o be_v most_o agreeable_a to_o the_o appointment_n of_o christ_n to_o the_o time_n place_n and_o other_o circumstance_n liv._o the_o answer_n to_o the_o other_o reason_n be_v also_o easy_a for_o see_v the_o same_o manner_n of_o speak_v here_o and_o the_o same_o word_n almost_o hereafter_o repeat_v which_o christ_n use_v in_o the_o 16._o of_o matthew_n it_o be_v altogether_o necessary_a that_o if_o they_o signify_v not_o the_o same_o thing_n yet_o that_o they_o shall_v signify_v something_o like_o it_o but_o to_o bind_v and_o to_o loose_v 16._o matth._n

and_o he_o will_v punish_v those_o that_o do_v contrary_a to_o his_o commandment_n he_o that_o after_o this_o manner_n do_v dehort_v his_o brother_n from_o do_v injury_n by_o show_v to_o he_o both_o
