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

go_v up_o to_o the_o temple_n to_o pray_v and_o return_v home_o justify_v by_o christ_n sentence_n that_o he_o leave_v of_o to_o be_v a_o publican_n luke_n 18._o neither_o these_o that_o praise_n god_n luke_n 7.15_o and_o be_v most_o dear_a to_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n to_o change_v their_o condition_n as_o we_o find_v in_o brief_a i_o will_v say_v it_o that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o be_v that_o god_n do_v at_o no_o time_n and_o in_o no_o place_n condemn_v and_o dispraise_v the_o publican_n upon_o the_o account_n that_o they_o be_v publican_n that_o be_v collector_n of_o the_o revenue_n which_o all_o wise_a man_n will_v free_o confess_v with_o i_o which_o be_v lay_v down_o i_o argument_n thus_o god_n do_v condemn_v no_o publican_n because_o as_o publican_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o he_o that_o god_n do_v condemn_v can_v be_v excommunicate_a by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n therefore_o no_o publican_n can_v by_o divine_a right_n be_v forbid_v from_o the_o temple_n and_o divine_a worship_n now_o i_o go_v on_o conclude_v this_o no_o publican_n by_o the_o law_n can_v be_v condemn_v or_o excommunicate_v but_o christ_n command_v he_o that_o will_v not_o hear_v that_o church_n of_o which_o he_o speak_v there_o to_o be_v esteem_v as_o a_o publican_n therefore_o he_o command_v he_o to_o be_v esteem_v such_o a_o one_o as_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n can_v not_o be_v esteem_v acceptable_a to_o wait_v upon_o this_o account_n because_o he_o be_v a_o publican_n when_o the_o excommunicator_n affirm_v that_o these_o word_n let_v he_o be_v unto_o thou_o as_o a_o publican_n do_v signify_v also_o much_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v let_v he_o be_v to_o thou_o such_o a_o one_o as_o a_o publican_n be_v to_o a_o pharisee_fw-mi they_o speak_v what_o be_v absurd_a false_a and_o impossible_a for_o it_o be_v not_o credible_a that_o christ_n will_v in_o that_o place_n in_o which_o he_o resolve_v to_o institute_v as_o our_o adversary_n affirm_v a_o thing_n of_o so_o great_a moment_n and_o therefore_o so_o profitable_a and_o necessary_a in_o the_o church_n take_v his_o rule_n which_o afterward_o be_v to_o be_v keep_v by_o all_o from_o the_o impious_a fact_n of_o most_o wicked_a man_n and_o moreover_o i_o prove_v before_o that_o no_o man_n be_v ever_o excommunicate_a by_o the_o jew_n after_o that_o manner_n that_o now_o we_o dispute_v of_o to_o conclude_v all_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n do_v oppose_v their_o interpretation_n for_o christ_n do_v not_o here_o speak_v of_o the_o pharisee_n or_o with_o they_o but_o he_o have_v to_o do_v with_o his_o disciple_n and_o centre_n of_o the_o way_n to_o avoid_v scandal_n he_o say_v this_o if_o a_o injurious_a man_n will_v not_o hear_v the_o church_n let_v he_o be_v unto_o thou_o as_o a_o publican_n viz._n to_o thou_o not_o as_o he_o be_v to_o the_o pharisee_n but_o it_o be_v know_v that_o publican_n be_v not_o hateful_a to_o christ_n and_o his_o disciple_n and_o to_o all_o other_o religious_a true_o they_o do_v not_o esteem_v they_o as_o person_n worthy_a of_o excommunication_n but_o they_o do_v eat_v and_o drink_v with_o they_o daily_o but_o that_o he_o join_v a_o heathenick_n and_o a_o publican_n together_o it_o compel_v we_o to_o confess_v that_o christ_n speak_v of_o something_o which_o shall_v be_v common_a to_o they_o both_o but_o the_o publican_n can_v enter_v the_o temple_n the_o heathen_a can_v not_o wherefore_o christ_n speak_v here_o nothing_o of_o excommunication_n therefore_o these_o word_n let_v he_o be_v to_o thou_o as_o a_o publican_n signify_v for_o another_o thing_n then_o these_o let_v he_o be_v to_o thou_o as_o a_o excommunicate_a person_n thesense_n then_o of_o this_o place_n be_v this_o if_o he_o hear_v not_o the_o church_n you_o may_v in_o

19_o but_o a_o great_a offence_n which_o belong_v to_o more_o or_o to_o the_o whole_a church_n can_v be_v forgive_v by_o one_o alone_a by_o the_o way_n you_o be_v to_o take_v notice_n here_o that_o the_o adverb_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d again_o do_v declare_v that_o he_o say_v the_o same_o now_o just_a before_o albeit_o he_o use_v other_o word_n five_o christ_n speak_v of_o such_o sin_n whereof_o they_o be_v not_o ashamed_a that_o have_v commit_v they_o or_o which_o they_o will_v not_o deny_v before_o any_o man_n if_o he_o speak_v of_o other_o grievous_a sin_n and_o of_o such_o as_o belong_v to_o the_o church_n and_o many_o other_o witness_n shall_v have_v no_o place_n for_o no_o man_n will_v confess_v that_o before_o witness_n that_o he_o remit_v such_o a_o act_n if_o it_o be_v do_v private_o but_o in_o all_o those_o thing_n of_o which_o be_v speak_v here_o there_o be_v degree_n set_v down_o by_o christ_n to_o be_v keep_v wherefore_o he_o speak_v of_o private_a injury_n belong_v not_o at_o all_o to_o other_o six_o he_o speak_v of_o such_o which_o the_o church_n of_o which_o christ_n speak_v here_o do_v not_o punish_v but_o send_v away_o the_o offender_n chastise_v only_o with_o word_n for_o in_o vain_a shall_v he_o say_v if_o he_o will_v not_o hear_v the_o church_n for_o indeed_o it_o can_v punish_v sin_n with_o public_a punishment_n seaventh_o the_o parable_n that_o immediate_o follow_v do_v prove_v the_o same_o clear_o which_o do_v teach_v that_o god_n will_v not_o forgive_v they_o their_o sin_n that_o will_v not_o forgive_v from_o their_o heart_n their_o penitent_a brother_n without_o pain_n or_o punishment_n but_o the_o church_n shall_v not_o so_o as_o they_o say_v forgive_v the_o offender_n but_o shall_v keep_v they_o at_o least_o for_o a_o time_n from_o the_o sacrament_n until_o they_o shall_v approve_v their_o penitence_n to_o presbyter_n choose_v for_o this_o purpose_n therefore_o he_o will_v have_v they_o forgive_v seven_o time_n a_o day_n that_o say_v they_o repent_v but_o will_v see_v argument_n of_o their_o repentance_n of_o which_o christ_n speak_v not_o one_o word_n here_o for_o he_o will_v have_v no_o other_o argument_n than_o a_o confession_n of_o their_o fault_n which_o he_o that_o do_v not_o dissemble_v it_o will_v not_o return_v seven_o time_n a_o day_n it_o be_v then_o clear_o demonstrate_v by_o these_o reason_n that_o christ_n do_v not_o discourse_v here_o of_o these_o sin_n that_o be_v to_o be_v punish_v by_o excommunication_n but_o of_o light_n and_o private_a injury_n and_o of_o the_o mean_n to_o compose_v they_o therefore_o it_o do_v not_o belong_v to_o the_o business_n of_o excommunication_n if_o the_o conclusion_n only_o use_v by_o christ_n in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o chapter_n be_v look_v unto_o all_o cause_n of_o doubt_v will_v be_v remove_v xliii_o those_o that_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o christ_n in_o this_o place_n and_o chapter_n do_v institute_v excommunication_n must_v be_v compel_v to_o show_v in_o what_o word_n this_o command_n be_v comprehend_v if_o they_o can_v demonstrate_v it_o to_o be_v contain_v there_o and_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a for_o they_o to_o say_v it_o be_v

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

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
