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

provoked I ever answered most modestly because it seemed neither profitable nor necessary to disturb our Churches with this dispute whilest no man was known to thrust this form of Government on them openly Indeed they who thought it farre more sweet and pleasant to command then to obey rested not so but by all arts they could as I afterwards knew laboured to perswade our most holy Prince that he should indeavour to bring some such thing into our Churches And if some other things had not withstood it perchance they had perswaded him By what scandalous speeches they did every where traduce me Who they knew did not consent to them and were not ignorant that I laboured that they might not accomplish their design it is needless here to relate It fell out afterwards that an English-man who was said to have left his Country by reason of certain vestures in the Church desired to be graduat Doctor and did propose a dispute concerning indifferent things and vestures This dispute our Theologues would not admit least they should offend the English albeit in his last Theses there was something concerning this matter but as it seem'd they esteem'd it nothing to disturbe our peace wherefore amongst other Theses he proposed this That it behoved in each right constitute Church that this order should be kept In which the Ministers with their Presbytery chosen for that purpose should have power to Excommunicate any sinners yea Princes themselves Although I feared that this Dispute was not appointed in vain yet I hoped that it would be nothing else but an ordinary Dispute not such an one as are appointed for the deciding of Controversies but such as are instituted for the exercising of the youth and for judging of their gifts that defire these publick honours Therefore neither would I move any thing neither could I by reason of my occasions be present at it And I did exhort others which I did see would Dispute against it that they would have a greater care of the good of the Church then of some few mens imprudency Nevertheless one and another disputed whom if they had not afterwards called together with me Prophane Satanick Diabolick Turbulent Phanatick Persons enemies to Piety c. the Dispute had been nothing but ordinary Indeed As for my part I can truly affirme that I never purpos'd with my self to Write any thing concerning this matter of Controversie before I did see and hear them to carry themselves so immodestly both in private and publick And because I was then a great deale more then usually imployed By reason of the Souldiers which then Anno. 1568. returned with Duke Casimire c. out of France loaden with diverse diseases I did note down my thoughts by peeces as they did amongst so great businesses occure to me at any time Which albeit I had thrown them together confusedly and had placed them in no certain order for the foresaid cause partly whilst they were writing over and partly as soon as they were written I gave them to be examined and judged of unto some unto whose judgement I attributed much and of whom I thought my self to be very well beloved and that not without cause though I beleeved it falsely And I did desire them if they found any thing that was truely affirmed or solidly proved that they should freely refute it with better reasons I did hope that if I gaind nothing else yet I would obtain this That they seeing our Arguments would become more calme and would think that we did not without reason dissent from them One of the two chief with whom I resolved principally to conferre did read three parts of four before all were written faire over Of which being demanded his opinion he promised he would give it after he had read over all Nevertheless he by the by proposed something concerning the Leaven and did think that the consent of the Ancient Church was much to be esteemed to conclude he produced other such like stuff by which it was most easie for me to know his mind and opinion I understood almost at that same time that this self same man had written a Treatise of Excommunication in which he did approve of the common opinion which once known there needed no doubt to be made what his Answer would be For I knew that he would not depart from that he had once affirmed without it were for fear of Danger Therefore seeing these things which he did oppose were refuted in the last part of my writing I offered it all to be judged by the other whom I esteemed to be as dear a friend to me as was living He did not only receive the Book from me loathingly I know not whether he was admonished before but did openly declare he would not read it and albeit I did urge it he declared he was compelled to it against his will Nevertheless I left the Book some daies with him and did intreat him by all meanes and prayers I could that he would read it over and give me his judgment thereon Which when I knew by certain reasons that I had intreated this of him in vain I took my Book back from him after twelve daies or thereabouts that I might require the judgment of others But because that writing was of a greater length then that it could be read in a short time by more persons I did contract it into a few Positions whereby it might be more easily communicate to many And in this point my resolution fell not out unhappily For both I did know the opinion of many most worthy and famous Theologues throughout Germany which was the thing I only desired And they were so dispersed amongst the Students that they who at my intreaty would not read them were now compelled to peruse them against their will But that it might appear unto all that I sought no other thing but the naked truth I prefix'd a Preface in which I demanded these two things First That all men would diligently examine each parcell and that they would weigh them in the Balance of the holy Scriptures and if they should see me in an Error that they should free me there from that thereby I might likewise free others I promised with my very heart I call God the Searcher of all hearts to witness that I would before God and Men give him thanks that would shew me my error But because I foresaw that would come to pass which afterwards happened I desired in the second place That if they had resolved to reprehend any thing therein they would do it in these waies and places wherein it should be lawfull for me both to Interpret my own words and to defend justly what injustly they should condemn And although they had ever found me their most constant Friend and most ready to serve them in all good Offices notwithstanding I could scarcely keep them by reason of what had passed before that they would so deal with me as I
