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 purgatory_n the_o intercession_n of_o saint_n exorcism_n and_o baptism_n the_o single_a life_n of_o priest_n unction_n in_o baptism_n and_o death_n prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a and_o in_o this_o present_a cause_n satisfaction_n notwithstanding_o i_o do_v not_o remember_v that_o any_o of_o they_o have_v be_v accuse_v therefore_o because_o they_o condemn_v the_o ancient_n if_o they_o will_v 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 study_n and_o good_a will_n in_o the_o mean_a while_n for_o by_o this_o mean_v they_o study_v see_v they_o can_v meet_v with_o no_o other_o better_a mean_n hereby_o to_o bridle_v the_o wantonness_n 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 mind_n to_o inquire_v whither_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n agree_v to_o scripture_n or_o no._n lxx_o concern_v the_o original_n of_o this_o excommunication_n i_o can_v bring_v nothing_o now_o that_o be_v certain_a except_o the_o 200._o year_n after_o christ_n that_o i_o find_v some_o such_o thing_n first_o to_o have_v be_v assey_v and_o do_v for_o more_o than_o 100_o and_o 50._o year_n i_o find_v not_o any_o to_o have_v be_v exclude_v from_o the_o sacrament_n for_o the_o uncleanness_n of_o their_o life_n these_o that_o be_v verse_v in_o read_v of_o the_o father_n and_o in_o history_n perchance_o can_v affirm_v something_o more_o certain_a he_o that_o will_v attentive_o read_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v leave_v write_v by_o socrates_n in_o the_o 5._o book_n and_o 19_o chapter_n 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 novatus_n time_n notwithstanding_o sozomenus_n in_o his_o 7._o book_n and_o 16._o chap._n relate_v another_o cause_n of_o the_o institution_n hereof_o but_o we_o also_o read_v that_o victor_n bishop_n of_o rome_n about_o the_o 200._o year_n of_o our_o lord_n forbid_v they_o the_o use_n of_o the_o supper_n that_o will_v not_o forgive_v injury_n i_o have_v observe_v that_o before_o this_o time_n the_o communion_n be_v deny_v only_o to_o heretic_n and_o to_o such_o as_o be_v averse_a from_o religion_n but_o however_o this_o be_v yet_o that_o be_v certain_o know_v that_o excommunication_n be_v therefore_o bring_v into_o the_o church_n that_o there_o may_v be_v in_o it_o some_o bridle_n to_o and_o punishment_n of_o vice_n afterward_o when_o the_o church_n now_o have_v get_v

the_o sword_n that_o be_v when_o the_o magistrate_n be_v make_v christian_n nevertheless_o this_o power_n remain_v still_o in_o the_o bishop_n partly_o because_o it_o be_v believe_v to_o be_v a_o divine_a ordination_n and_o partly_o because_o they_o will_v hardly_o lay_v down_o this_o spiritual_a sword_n for_o which_o they_o be_v fear_v by_o the_o great_a prince_n for_o they_o easy_o persuade_v other_o which_o they_o more_o easy_o and_o willing_o believe_v themselves_o to_o wit_n that_o christ_n be_v the_o author_n of_o this_o business_n superstition_n confirm_v the_o opinion_n by_o ascribe_v safety_n to_o the_o sacrament_n for_o it_o be_v write_v and_o believe_v that_o some_o man_n can_v not_o die_v before_o they_o have_v be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o sacrament_n therefore_o either_o by_o reason_n of_o this_o error_n man_n do_v very_o much_o fear_n excommunication_n or_o from_o excommunication_n this_o error_n do_v spring_n among_o the_o unlearnede_a people_n that_o life_n be_v put_v in_o receive_v of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o death_n in_o denial_n of_o the_o same_o when_o they_o see_v wicked_a man_n punish_v with_o the_o denial_n of_o they_o as_o with_o the_o last_o and_o great_a punishment_n lxxi_o but_o as_o far_o as_o we_o can_v know_v by_o conjecture_v it_o seem_v that_o at_o the_o beginning_n the_o administrator_n thereof_o be_v those_o elder_n of_o who_o we_o read_v the_o 1_o cor._n 6._o who_o carry_v the_o place_n of_o magistrate_n in_o the_o church_n together_o with_o the_o minister_n afterward_o this_o whole_a power_n remain_v to_o the_o

complain_v of_o those_o labour_n and_o the_o history_n of_o that_o time_n ambrose_n indeed_o affirm_v that_o those_o elder_n without_o which_o nothing_o use_v to_o be_v do_v in_o the_o church_n have_v then_o place_n whenas_o yet_o they_o want_v bishop_n but_o by_o the_o apostle_n it_o appear_v that_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v overseer_n of_o this_o office_n so_o long_o as_o the_o church_n be_v press_v with_o a_o ungodly_a magistracy_n by_o which_o that_o likewise_o be_v understand_v that_o as_o under_o a_o godly_a magistracy_n their_o office_n cease_v so_o likewise_o excommunication_n shall_v cease_v under_o the_o same_o albeit_o they_o have_v exercise_v the_o same_o before_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n it_o must_v be_v note_v that_o these_o elder_n be_v in_o the_o place_n of_o the_o magistrate_n and_o do_v meddle_v with_o civil_a matter_n and_o be_v not_o a_o ecclesiastic_a judicatory_a which_o at_o this_o day_n they_o distinguish_v from_o the_o politic_a for_o it_o be_v clear_o say_v that_o they_o ought_v to_o meddle_v with_o debate_n and_o matter_n belong_v to_o the_o sustentation_n and_o use_n of_o man_n life_n lxxii_o the_o fruit_n that_o it_o bring_v forth_o in_o the_o church_n will_v scarce_o be_v explain_v in_o many_o book_n true_o they_o can_v be_v comprehend_v in_o a_o few_o line_n first_o they_o bring_v this_o to_o pass_v that_o man_n begin_v to_o ascribe_v safety_n to_o the_o sacrament_n for_o thus_o they_o reason_v the_o denial_n of_o the_o sacrament_n bring_v destruction_n therefore_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o same_o give_v life_n they_o can_v not_o

sacrament_n be_v deny_v hence_o it_o be_v believe_v that_o some_o can_v not_o die_v without_o receive_v of_o the_o supper_n as_o i_o say_v a_o little_a before_o those_o many_o and_o great_a and_o long_a satisfaction_n and_o ceremony_n do_v augment_v the_o error_n and_o likewise_o chief_o that_o that_o they_o permit_v the_o use_n of_o the_o supper_n to_o man_n that_o be_v only_o a_o do_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o depart_v hence_o without_o food_n necessary_a for_o their_o soul_n which_o if_o it_o do_v not_o happen_v they_o esteem_v he_o condemn_v to_o who_o this_o befall_v as_o if_o god_n will_v not_o forgive_v they_o that_o be_v hearty_o penitent_a for_o their_o sin_n and_o give_v they_o life_n except_o those_o elder_n judge_v they_o worthy_a of_o the_o lord_n supper_n what_o can_v be_v think_v more_o horrid_a than_o this_o error_n then_o likewise_o it_o bring_v this_o to_o pass_v that_o every_o one_o almost_o believe_v it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o a_o man_n to_o shut_v and_o open_a heaven_n to_o whatsoever_o person_n he_o please_v so_o the_o emperor_n theodosius_n the_o young_a will_v not_o dine_v because_o he_o be_v excommunicate_a by_o a_o monk_n unto_o who_o he_o deny_v something_o to_o he_o that_o he_o have_v demand_v albeit_o the_o bishop_n of_o constantinople_n tell_v he_o such_o exclusion_n be_v invalid_a nevertheless_o he_o will_v not_o be_v quiet_a till_o at_o last_o he_o have_v absolve_v he_o who_o have_v bind_v he_o so_o the_o elder_n be_v compel_v by_o ambrose_n for_o eight_o month_n to_o abstain_v from_o the_o church_n and_o preach_n

a_o humane_a invention_n the_o i._o position_n the_o word_n excommunication_n seem_v to_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o ten_o chapter_n of_o the_o 1_o corinthian_n and_o to_o signify_v a_o removal_n from_o that_o commiunion_n which_o in_o that_o place_n be_v call_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o indeed_o at_o this_o time_n excommunication_n be_v define_v by_o almost_o all_o to_o be_v a_o exclusion_n from_o the_o fellowship_n and_o communion_n of_o believer_n ii_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a fellowship_n of_o believer_n the_o one_o be_v internal_a and_o spiritual_a the_o other_o

we_o fall_v from_o this_o fellowship_n only_o by_o infidelity_n therefore_o none_o can_v ingraff_n we_o in_o or_o lop_v we_o off_o from_o this_o except_o only_o he_o that_o can_v give_v we_o live_v faith_n and_o can_v take_v again_o the_o same_o from_o we_o v._o but_o we_o be_v make_v consort_n of_o the_o external_a and_o visible_a church_n by_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o same_o faith_n by_o the_o consent_n we_o give_v to_o the_o same_o doctrine_n and_o by_o the_o use_n of_o the_o same_o sacrament_n in_o whatsoever_o person_n these_o three_o be_v find_v he_o be_v so_o long_o as_o they_o

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

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 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

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
