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

for_o a_o punishment_n the_o other_o be_v that_o the_o word_n of_o themselves_o do_v teach_v well_o enough_o that_o it_o be_v put_v for_o a_o upbraid_a wherewith_o not_o any_o one_o but_o many_o do_v rebuke_v he_o for_o paul_n in_o this_o 2._o epistle_n write_v sufficient_a to_o such_o a_o man_n be_v this_o rebuke_n which_o be_v of_o many_o he_o absolve_v he_o only_o from_o that_o threaten_a

have_v only_o as_o yet_o endure_v this_o for_o he_o do_v not_o only_o absolve_v he_o in_o part_n but_o altogether_o therefore_o while_o he_o say_v that_o this_o rebuke_n and_o threaten_v be_v sufficient_a he_o together_o with_o it_o declare_v that_o he_o have_v suffer_v no_o more_o we_o find_v the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d in_o the_o 16_o 17_o 19_o 20._o of_o matthew_n and_o

it_o may_v be_v demand_v if_o he_o do_v only_o suffer_v rebuke_n by_o what_o mean_v its_o say_v that_o he_o be_v deliver_v over_o to_o satan_n to_o be_v torment_v and_o kill_v there_o be_v a_o double_a answer_n to_o this_o some_o of_o the_o ancient_n say_v that_o he_o be_v indeed_o deliver_v over_o that_o he_o may_v be_v torment_v with_o sickness_n or_o some_o other_o way_n and_o so_o he_o shall_v kill_v he_o by_o little_a and_o little_a but_o that_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n he_o be_v deliver_v by_o the_o apostle_n before_o the_o matter_n be_v bring_v to_o that_o length_n which_o answer_n if_o it_o be_v true_a than_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d may_v signify_v a_o punishment_n albeit_o i_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o this_o answer_n may_v be_v tolerate_v notwithstanding_o i_o will_v bring_v another_o more_o agree_v to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n the_o apostle_n paul_n do_v not_o resolve_v by_o himself_o alone_o to_o deliver_v this_o man_n to_o satan_n but_o he_o will_v have_v this_o do_v the_o whole_a church_n be_v gather_v together_o for_o that_o matter_n now_o when_o the_o church_n see_v this_o unhappy_a man_n afflict_v with_o so_o great_a sorrow_n that_o he_o be_v almost_o swell_v up_o with_o grief_n it_o do_v defer_v the_o matter_n till_o it_o try_v the_o apostle_n mind_n whither_o it_o can_v obtain_v forgiveness_n to_o he_o or_o not_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n the_o church_n do_v threaten_v that_o it_o will_v do_v its_o duty_n if_o it_o can_v obtain_v nothing_o so_o that_o miserable_a man_n be_v afflict_v for_o many_o m●neths_n till_o he_o know_v that_o the_o apostle_n have_v forgive_v his_o punishment_n that_o the_o business_n be_v thus_o carry_v on_o may_v be_v clear_o enough_o gather_v as_o it_o seem_v out_o of_o the_o latter_a epistle_n lxi_o from_o all_o that_o have_v be_v now_o say_v and_o from_o more_o that_o may_v be_v say_v it_o be_v so_o clear_o and_o full_o demonstrate_v that_o this_o deliver_v up_o to_o satan_n be_v far_o another_o thing_n from_o that_o which_o at_o this_o day_n we_o call_v excommunication_n or_o thrust_v from_o the_o sacrament_n that_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v by_o any_o that_o be_v a_o lover_n or_o knower_n of_o the_o truth_n i_o say_v above_o that_o some_o of_o the_o ancient_n do_v so_o expound_v this_o place_n among_o who_o augustin_n be_v one_o who_o testimony_n i_o produce_v before_o beside_o there_o be_v another_o testimony_n of_o this_o extant_a in_o his_o 1._o book_n of_o the_o lord_n sermon_n upon_o the_o mount_n before_o he_o athanasias_n do_v so_o interpret_v it_o and_o after_o he_o chrysosteme_v and_o at_o last_o his_o compilator_n theophylact_fw-mi lxii_o now_o let_v we_o take_v a_o view_n of_o these_o other_o place_n which_o they_o that_o dissent_v from_o we_o produce_v for_o themselves_o but_o nevertheless_o in_o brief_a in_o the_o apostle_n paul_n sentence_n to_o timothy_n where_o the_o say_v that_o presbyter_n which_o labour_v in_o the_o word_n and_o doctrine_n be_v worthy_a of_o double_a honour_n they_o put_v some_o strength_n and_o firmness_n for_o they_o think_v that_o from_o this_o place_n it_o be_v prove_v that_o there_o be_v some_o presbyter_n that_o be_v not_o occupy_v in_o teach_v but_o they_o attribute_v to_o those_o another_o office_n to_o wit_n to_o censure_v manner_n to_o observe_v sinner_n to_o admonish_v the_o obstinate_a and_o to_o tell_v this_o to_o their_o fellow_n presbyter_n that_o be_v to_o the_o church_n and_o together_o with_o they_o to_o excommunicate_v these_o that_o will_v not_o hear_v the_o church_n lxiii_o but_o we_o think_v that_o out_o of_o the_o writing_n of_o the_o apostle_n peter_n and_o paul_n it_o be_v clear_v that_o minister_n bishop_n and_o presbyter_n if_o this_o name_n signify_v a_o office_n and_o not_o age_n be_v the_o same_o in_o the_o apostle_n time_n and_o that_o therefore_o there_o be_v then_o no_o presbyter_n that_o do_v not_o also_o teach_v except_o perchance_o any_o man_n will_v have_v they_o also_o comprehend_v under_o this_o name_n that_o in_o the_o 1_o cor._n 6._o be_v appoint_v to_o be_v judge_n and_o arbitrator_n of_o controversy_n and_o cause_n but_o of_o these_o for_o the_o present_a we_o be_v not_o to_o speak_v see_v their_o office_n be_v far_o another_o from_o this_o our_o opinion_n that_o be_v know_v to_o be_v most_o true_a be_v

eat_v and_o drink_v with_o publican_n but_o they_o do_v not_o in_o any_o place_n at_o any_o time_n upbraid_v he_o that_o he_o pray_v in_o the_o temple_n with_o they_o that_o he_o be_v present_a with_o

the_o same_o reason_n they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o endeavour_v to_o debar_v these_o wicked_a knave_n and_o mostcruell_a heretic_n the_o saducee_v from_o their_o ceremony_n that_o they_o permit_v they_o to_o ascend_v to_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o highpriesthood_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n how_o much_o the_o one_o hate_v the_o other_o be_v clear_a out_o of_o josephus_n history_n and_o the_o

can_v not_o indeed_o debar_v the_o impure_a from_o eat_v of_o the_o passover_n see_v they_o do_v not_o eat_v it_o before_o the_o priest_n but_o in_o their_o private_a house_n as_o we_o find_v that_o christ_n together_o with_o his_o disciple_n do_v celebrate_v the_o last_o passover_n for_o then_o all_o the_o people_n in_o some_o measure_n do_v discharge_v the_o office_n of_o a_o priest_n as_o philo_z the_o jew_n speak_v of_o the_o paschall_n do_v testify_v when_o every_o one_o of_o the_o people_n do_v sacrifice_n not_o expect_v the_o priest_n they_o be_v by_o the_o permission_n of_o the_o

that_o i_o have_v read_v that_o the_o presence_n of_o a_o priest_n be_v necessary_a to_o that_o matter_n fourteen_o that_o forerunner_n of_o christ_n john_n the_o baptist_n observe_v the_o same_o

which_o be_v to_o come_v it_o be_v not_o likely_a that_o this_o eminent_a man_n will_v have_v admit_v man_n cover_v with_o so_o many_o wickedness_n yea_o impious_o and_o public_o deny_v the_o

and_o leprous_a as_o be_v say_v before_o xv._o this_o uncleanness_n indeed_o be_v a_o legal_a ceremony_n and_o not_o the_o impurity_n of_o life_n and_o manner_n for_o he_o be_v not_o unclean_a that_o

the_o pharisee_n will_v not_o enter_v the_o council-house_n when_o they_o deliver_v christ_n to_o pilate_n to_o be_v put_v to_o death_n lest_o they_o shall_v be_v hinder_v to_o eat_v the_o passover_n certes_o the_o mosaical_a uncleanness_n do_v not_o so_o figurate_a out_o sin_n that_o as_o those_o that_o be_v defile_v with_o they_o be_v forbid_v the_o tabernacle_n and_o converse_v of_o other_o

clear_o hold_v forth_o by_o the_o reason_n follow_v 1._o transgressor_n be_v not_o punish_v with_o the_o same_o punishment_n that_o the_o unclean_a be_v whilst_o that_o legal_a uncleanness_n be_v in_o

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
