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

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 have_v be_v say_v that_o some_o of_o the_o jew_n say_v to_o albinus_n that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o the_o chief_a high_a priest_n to_o convocate_v the_o synedrium_fw-la without_o his_o permission_n as_o josephus_n relate_v it_o in_o the_o 20._o book_n of_o his_o antiquity_n for_o he_o only_o relate_v what_o some_o man_n do_v do_v but_o do_v not_o praise_v the_o deed_n moreover_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 judicatory_a to_o do_v a_o business_n of_o so_o great_a moment_n before_o the_o new_a precedent_n have_v confirm_v to_o he_o that_o power_n for_o he_o procure_v the_o brother_n of_o our_o lord_n james_n which_o be_v common_o call_v just_o to_o be_v put_v to_o death_n which_o see_v he_o be_v dear_a to_o many_o do_v take_v it_o very_o hardly_o for_o he_o be_v new_a recreated_a the_o high_a

occasion_n of_o the_o inter-regnum_a but_o what_o be_v that_o to_o our_o purpose_n be_v therefore_o archelaus_n name_v king_n in_o his_o father_n herod_n testament_n and_o that_o by_o permission_n 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 confirmation_n he_o have_v receive_v former_o be_v clear_a from_o this_o that_o they_o do_v not_o say_v to_o albinus_n that_o this_o be_v not_o simple_o lawful_a for_o he_o but_o only_o that_o he_o ought_v not_o to_o do_v this_o without_o albinus_n knowledge_n lii_o now_o it_o be_v solid_o demonstrate_v that_o dic_fw-la ecclesiae_fw-la tell_v it_o to_o the_o church_n do_v signify_v no_o other_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 signify_v not_o other_o thing_n then_o to_o preach_v the_o evangel_n by_o which_o every_o one_o that_o do_v believe_v shall_v be_v free_v from_o sin_n and_o death_n wherefore_o it_o signify_v no_o other_o thing_n here_o then_o to_o entreat_v his_o brother_n that_o he_o will_v desist_v from_o injury_n and_o rather_o follow_v godliness_n therefore_o because_o this_o be_v acceptable_a to_o god_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 the_o will_n and_o wrath_n of_o god_n he_o if_o he_o persuade_v he_o have_v gain_v he_o that_o be_v have_v lose_v he_o if_o he_o have_v not_o persuade_v he_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n remain_v on_o he_o as_o it_o remain_v or_o not_o remain_v upon_o he_o that_o believe_v and_o not_o believe_v the_o evangel_n when_o he_o hear_v it_o preach_v but_o that_o we_o may_v be_v ready_a and_o easy_a to_o forgive_v the_o penitent_a christ_n have_v go_v about_o to_o persuade_v we_o with_o what_o that_o elegant_a parable_n by_o which_o the_o scope_n of_o his_o purpose_n in_o this_o place_n be_v easy_o discern_v lv._o i_o wonder_v above_o measure_n how_o in_o this_o present_a place_n some_o interpret_v to_o bind_v and_o to_o loose_v by_o keep_v back_o and_o admit_v man_n to_o the_o sacrament_n see_v in_o the_o whole_a bible_n there_o be_v not_o a_o place_n where_o those_o word_n be_v put_v for_o this_o matter_n neither_o do_v ever_o the_o apostle_n show_v by_o any_o word_n or_o sign_n that_o they_o so_o understand_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n christ_n command_n be_v extant_a that_o they_o shall_v go_v out_o from_o they_o who_o will_v not_o receive_v the_o gospel_n but_o first_o shall_v shake_v off_o the_o dust_n of_o their_o foot_n matthew_z and_o luke_n 10._o which_o we_o know_v to_o have_v be_v do_v act_v 13._o and_o 18._o but_o that_o they_o shall_v deny_v the_o sacrament_n to_o they_o who_o believe_v in_o the_o word_n or_o baptise_a in_o christ_n and_o embrace_v his_o religion_n and_o doctrine_n because_o their_o life_n be_v not_o answerable_a to_o the_o doctrine_n we_o
