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

provoke_v i_o ever_o answer_v most_o modest_o because_o it_o seem_v neither_o profitable_a nor_o necessary_a to_o disturb_v our_o church_n with_o this_o dispute_n while_o no_o man_n be_v know_v to_o thrust_v this_o form_n of_o government_n on_o they_o open_o indeed_o they_o who_o think_v it_o far_o more_o sweet_a and_o pleasant_a to_o command_v then_o to_o obey_v rest_v not_o so_o but_o by_o all_o art_n they_o can_v as_o i_o afterward_o know_v labour_v to_o persuade_v our_o most_o holy_a prince_n that_o he_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o bring_v some_o such_o thing_n into_o our_o church_n and_o if_o some_o other_o thing_n have_v not_o withstand_v it_o perchance_o they_o have_v persuade_v he_o by_o what_o scandalous_a speech_n they_o do_v every_o where_n traduce_v i_o who_o they_o know_v do_v not_o consent_v to_o they_o and_o be_v not_o ignorant_a that_o i_o labour_v that_o they_o may_v not_o accomplish_v their_o design_n it_o be_v needless_a here_o to_o relate_v it_o fall_v out_o afterward_o that_o a_o englishman_n who_o be_v say_v to_o have_v leave_v his_o country_n by_o reason_n of_o certain_a vesture_n in_o the_o church_n desire_v to_o be_v graduate_n doctor_n and_o do_v propose_v a_o dispute_n concern_v indifferent_a thing_n and_o vesture_n this_o dispute_n our_o theologue_n will_v not_o admit_v lest_o they_o shall_v offend_v the_o english_a albeit_o in_o his_o last_o thesis_n there_o be_v something_o concern_v this_o matter_n but_o as_o it_o seem_v they_o esteem_v it_o nothing_o to_o disturb_v our_o peace_n wherefore_o among_o other_o thesis_n he_o propose_v this_o that_o it_o behove_v in_o each_o right_n constitute_v church_n that_o this_o order_n shall_v be_v keep_v in_o which_o the_o minister_n with_o their_o presbytery_n choose_v for_o that_o purpose_n shall_v have_v power_n to_o excommunicate_v any_o sinner_n yea_o prince_n themselves_o although_o i_o fear_v that_o this_o dispute_n be_v not_o appoint_v in_o vain_a yet_o i_o hope_v that_o it_o will_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o ordinary_a dispute_n not_o such_o a_o one_o as_o be_v appoint_v for_o the_o decide_n of_o controversy_n but_o such_o as_o be_v institute_v for_o the_o exercise_v of_o the_o youth_n and_o for_o judge_v of_o their_o gift_n that_o desire_n these_o public_a honour_n therefore_o neither_o will_v i_o move_v any_o thing_n neither_o can_v i_o by_o reason_n of_o my_o occasion_n be_v present_a at_o it_o and_o i_o do_v exhort_v other_o which_o i_o do_v see_v will_v dispute_v against_o it_o that_o they_o will_v have_v a_o great_a care_n of_o the_o

satanick_n diabolick_n turbulent_a fanatic_a person_n enemy_n to_o piety_n etc._n etc._n the_o dispute_n have_v be_v nothing_o but_o ordinary_a indeed_o as_o for_o my_o part_n i_o can_v true_o

immodest_o both_o in_o private_a and_o public_a and_o because_o i_o be_v then_o a_o great_a deal_n more_o then_o usual_o employ_v bianca_n reason_n of_o the_o soldier_n which_o then_o anno._n 1568._o return_v with_o duke_n casimire_n etc._n etc._n out_o of_o france_n load_v with_o diverse_a disease_n i_o do_v note_v down_o my_o thought_n by_o piece_n as_o they_o do_v among_o so_o great_a

partly_o whilst_o they_o be_v write_v over_o and_o partly_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v write_v i_o give_v they_o to_o be_v examine_v and_o judge_v of_o unto_o some_o unto_o who_o judgement_n i_o

they_o find_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v true_o affirm_v or_o solid_o prove_v that_o they_o shall_v free_o refute_v it_o with_o better_a reason_n i_o do_v hope_n that_o if_o i_o gain_v nothing_o else_o yet_o i_o will_v obtain_v this_o that_o they_o see_v our_o argument_n will_v become_v more_o calm_a and_o will_v think_v that_o we_o do_v not_o without_o reason_n dissent_n from_o they_o one_o of_o

in_o a_o error_n that_o they_o shall_v free_v i_o there_o from_o that_o thereby_o i_o may_v likewise_o free_v other_o i_o promise_v with_o my_o very_a heart_n i_o call_v god_n the_o searcher_n of_o
