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

our_o adversary_n confess_v that_o all_o sort_n of_o sin_n be_v not_o to_o be_v punish_v by_o excommunication_n whenas_o the_o law_n command_v every_o purity_n to_o be_v punish_v by_o exclude_v the_o
