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

private_a table_n man_n discourse_n of_o any_o thing_n whatsoever_o neither_o be_v he_o not_o only_o correct_v that_o have_v sineed_a if_o he_o think_v that_o he_o be_v also_o dear_a unto_o all_o after_o his_o sin_n as_o before_o but_o likewise_o other_o be_v more_o easy_o corrupt_v but_o if_o he_o see_v himself_o to_o be_v avoid_v and_o flee_v he_o can_v but_o think_v for_o what_o that_o be_v do_v and_o resolve_v to_o live_v a_o new_a life_n lest_o he_o shall_v be_v desparage_v by_o those_o who_o love_v he_o before_o therefore_o as_o the_o denial_n of_o private_a commerce_n do_v fright_v we_o from_o uncleanness_n and_o vice_n so_o familiar_a live_n together_o do_v cherish_v and_o nurse_v the_o same_o in_o we_o but_o the_o receive_n and_o deny_v of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o thing_n of_o a_o far_o different_a nature_n from_o this_o for_o the_o frequent_a receive_n of_o they_o do_v not_o at_o all_o so_o confirm_v and_o nurse_v vice_n as_o private_a familiarity_n for_o in_o the_o temple_n where_o they_o be_v administer_v there_o be_v no_o conference_n of_o private_a and_o vain_a thing_n but_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v preach_v therefore_o when_o man_n hear_v that_o christ_n have_v die_v for_o they_o and_o that_o he_o require_v for_o that_o benefit_n public_a thanksgiving_n and_o that_o he_o be_v not_o a_o worthy_a guest_n that_o have_v not_o try_v himself_o right_o but_o that_o they_o all_o have_v judgement_n to_o themselves_o that_o unworthy_o eat_v thereof_o then_o he_o that_o have_v resolve_v with_o himself_o to_o come_v unto_o the_o lord_n table_n whatsoever_o a_o man_n he_o be_v before_o will_v be_v compel_v to_o think_v with_o himself_o what_o god_n will_v have_v do_v and_o how_o afterward_o he_o may_v so_o lead_v his_o life_n that_o it_o may_v be_v acceptable_a unto_o god_n he_o that_o be_v deprive_v of_o this_o invitation_n become_v always_o worse_a but_o never_o become_v better_a for_o which_o cause_n nevertheless_o it_o seem_v that_o god_n appoint_v and_o command_v so_o many_o sacrifice_n ceremony_n and_o oblation_n true_o the_o apostle_n never_o command_v those_o man_n to_o be_v debar_v of_o the_o sacrament_n with_o who_o good_a man_n be_v not_o suffer_v to_o live_v familiar_o and_o when_o in_o another_o place_n he_o desire_v that_o such_o man_n shall_v be_v signify_v to_o he_o by_o a_o epistle_n he_o do_v not_o lay_v this_o upon_o the_o elder_n that_o they_o shall_v excommunicate_v they_o or_o keep_v they_o back_o from_o the_o sacrament_n all_o which_o do_v manifest_o prove_v that_o they_o be_v in_o a_o gross_a mistake_n that_o do_v think_v the_o apostle_n do_v either_o appoint_v or_o approve_v of_o excommunication_n in_o this_o place_n lxvii_o but_o nevertheless_o say_v they_o the_o church_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v pollute_v with_o communion_n of_o evil_a man_n therefore_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o good_a man_n shall_v be_v without_o dissimulation_n separate_v from_o evil_a man_n janswer_v this_o that_o evil_a man_n can_v defile_v good_a man_n in_o the_o use_n of_o these_o ceremony_n that_o be_v appoint_v by_o god_n so_o long_o as_o they_o do_v not_o follow_v their_o nature_n and_o manner_n for_o neither_o the_o prophet_n nor_o the_o holy_a king_n and_o judge_n nor_o john_n the_o baptist_n nor_o christ_n himself_o nor_o his_o apostle_n afterward_o be_v defile_v when_o in_o the_o temple_n they_o be_v present_a at_o the_o same_o sacrifice_n with_o man_n of_o most_o wicked_a life_n and_o do_v receive_v with_o they_o the_o same_o sacrament_n that_o generation_n of_o viper_n do_v not_o defile_v christ_n when_o together_o with_o they_o he_o be_v baptise_a with_o the_o same_o baptism_n by_o john_n and_o judas_n presence_n at_o the_o last_o supper_n do_v not_o defile_v either_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n albeit_o he_o be_v both_o a_o thief_n and_o think_v how_o to_o betray_v christ_n and_o have_v receive_v money_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n paul_n do_v not_o command_v we_o that_o the_o celebration_n and_o usurpation_n of_o the_o sacrament_n we_o shall_v one_o examine_v another_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v look_v about_o if_o there_o be_v any_o there_o present_a that_o can_v defile_v we_o but_o he_o command_v thus_o that_o every_o man_n shall_v examine_v himself_o and_o not_o other_o lxviii_o hitherto_o it_o have_v be_v prove_v by_o i_o effectual_o and_o true_o that_o no_o circumcise_a person_n before_o christ_n be_v forbid_v to_o come_v to_o the_o ceremony_n and_o sacrament_n institute_v of_o god_n by_o moses_n for_o the_o offence_n of_o the_o life_n and_o manner_n and_o together_o with_o this_o i_o show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o any_o even_a to_o do_v the_o same_o afterward_o it_o be_v demonstrate_v by_o reason_n and_o the_o evident_a testimony_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o neither_o christ_n nor_o his_o apostle_n do_v teach_v or_o do_v any_o otherwise_o moreover_o i_o think_v this_o also_o that_o what_o be_v bring_v by_o these_o of_o another_o judgement_n can_v not_o at_o all_o patronize_v their_o opinion_n wherefore_o now_o i_o see_v nothing_o that_o can_v further_o hinder_v i_o that_o i_o shall_v not_o right_o and_o true_o conclude_v that_o this_o excommunication_n which_o debar_v christian_n from_o the_o sacrament_n only_o because_o of_o the_o uncleanness_n of_o their_o life_n be_v not_o command_v by_o god_n but_o be_v invent_v and_o feign_v by_o man_n for_o it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o truth_n that_o it_o can_v be_v show_v that_o it_o be_v found_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o rather_o the_o contrary_a of_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v lxix_o therefore_o some_o man_n will_v say_v will_v you_o then_o condemn_v so_o many_o holy_a bishop_n which_o immediate_o after_o the_o apostle_n time_n begin_v to_o excommunicate_v vile_a person_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o improve_v the_o doctrine_n and_o another_o thing_n to_o improve_v the_o man_n many_o learned_a and_o godly_a man_n of_o our_o age_n have_v ponder_v and_o confute_v the_o catholic_n error_n as_o i_o may_v call_v they_o of_o the_o ancient_n as_o limbum_fw-la patrum_fw-la in_o hell_n the_o fire_n of_o

have_v have_v this_o excommunication_n thrust_v upon_o the_o church_n as_o a_o law_n publish_v by_o god_n i_o do_v not_o praise_v it_o albeit_o i_o do_v much_o praise_n and_o approve_v of_o their_o

of_o wicked_a man_n and_o most_o part_n also_o as_o we_o see_v to_o be_v do_v even_o this_o day_n do_v follow_v that_o public_a custom_n receive_v by_o all_o neither_o come_v it_o ever_o in_o their_o

of_o this_o ecclesiastic_a history_n will_v i_o believe_v suffer_v themselves_o easy_o to_o be_v persuade_v that_o this_o custom_n of_o excommunication_n be_v introduce_v into_o the_o church_n about_o

be_v only_o a_o honour_n and_o to_o be_v throw_v out_o of_o it_o a_o ignominy_n it_o seem_v that_o it_o may_v be_v gather_v from_o this_o which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o 12._o of_o john_n that_o many_o chief_a ruler_n among_o the_o jew_n in_o which_o number_n may_v be_v nicodemus_n be_v do_v believe_v in_o christ_n but_o dare_v not_o confess_v he_o for_o fear_v of_o the_o pharisee_n lest_o they_o shall_v throw_v they_o out_o of_o the_o synagogue_n and_o this_o reason_n be_v add_v because_o they_o love_v more_o the_o glory_n of_o man_n than_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n moreover_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o circumcise_a publican_n be_v not_o admit_v into_o the_o synagogue_n we_o mean_v of_o these_o of_o which_o we_o dispute_v at_o present_a for_o the_o pharisee_n will_v not_o so_o much_o as_o confer_v with_o they_o and_o upon_o this_o account_n they_o do_v backbite_v christ_n because_o he_o do_v familiar_o converse_v with_o they_o but_o i_o believe_v not_o any_o man_n of_o a_o sound_a judgement_n will_v affirm_v that_o these_o man_n be_v not_o admit_v to_o the_o passover_n temple_n and_o sacrifice_n wherefore_o to_o be_v throw_v out_o of_o the_o synagogue_n and_o to_o be_v

it_o can_v be_v never_o so_o well_o prove_v that_o to_o be_v throw_v out_o of_o the_o synagogue_n and_o keep_v back_o from_o the_o sacrament_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o among_o the_o pharisee_n that_o which_o at_o no_o time_n can_v be_v prove_v to_o be_v true_a to_o have_v be_v or_o to_o be_v hereafter_o nevertheless_o they_o have_v do_v this_o as_o they_o do_v many_o other_o thing_n against_o the_o express_a precept_n of_o moses_n therefore_o we_o shall_v not_o follow_v but_o condemn_v their_o do_v thereof_o for_o we_o must_v not_o live_v by_o example_n but_o by_o law_n neither_o
