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

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

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

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 bishop_n who_o do_v cognosce_fw-la in_o all_o cause_n compose_v all_o difference_n give_v judgement_n and_o do_v administer_v all_o such_o thing_n as_o we_o clear_o see_v out_o of_o augustine_n 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 doubt_v of_o that_o which_o be_v the_o antecedent_n whilst_o they_o hear_v that_o those_o be_v afflict_v with_o great_a punishment_n and_o believe_v be_v deliver_v to_o satan_n unto_o who_o the_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 indeed_o he_o have_v sin_v but_o much_o lightly_a than_o ambrose_n which_o may_v be_v know_v by_o any_o man_n that_o be_v not_o void_a of_o judgement_n out_o of_o the_o history_n of_o nicephorus_n and_o chronicle_n of_o mr._n philip_n melancthon_n to_o conclude_v by_o this_o mean_v it_o be_v bring_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n do_v bring_v the_o west_n under_o his_o

dare_v hiss_v against_o his_o law_n and_o statute_n and_o true_o he_o that_o will_v ponder_v the_o matter_n right_o shall_v find_v that_o that_o god_n of_o strength_n in_o daniel_n signify_v nothing_o but_o excommunication_n or_o a_o prohibition_n of_o holy_a thing_n chief_o of_o the_o lord_n supper_n for_o this_o excommunication_n true_o be_v and_o at_o this_o day_n also_o be_v that_o god_n of_o

business_n to_o this_o pass_n that_o all_o man_n for_o the_o most_o part_n believe_v that_o these_o man_n who_o may_v judge_n it_o unworthy_a of_o eternal_a life_n be_v out_o of_o the_o favour_n of_o

lxxiii_o i_o see_v not_o why_o the_o christian_a magistrate_n ought_v not_o to_o do_v the_o same_o at_o this_o time_n in_o the_o jewish_a commonwealth_n he_o be_v command_v by_o god_n to_o do_v do_v we_o think_v that_o we_o can_v constitute_v a_o better_a form_n of_o church_n and_o commonwealth_n in_o the_o 4._o chapter_n of_o deutronomy_n we_o read_v that_o for_o the_o judgement_n and_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
