excommunication_n four_o if_o some_o will_v thus_o cavil_v against_o moses_n law_n which_o require_v 10._o the_o hand_n of_o all_o the_o people_n to_o stone_n a_o wicked_a man_n and_o ask_v whether_o woman_n also_o and_o child_n must_v be_v present_a &_o cast_a stone_n he_o may_v have_v as_o good_a colour_n for_o his_o question_n as_o have_v these_o if_o not_o better_o for_o these_o say_v 19_o in_o jsrael_n such_o as_o will_v not_o hearken_v to_o the_o priest_n &_o judge_n be_v to_o die_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o people_n and_o the_o proportion_n that_o they_o cast_v for_o the_o people_n now_o be_v 34._o that_o they_o shall_v put_v the_o sentence_n in_o execution_n by_o avoid_v the_o excommunicate_v person_n now_o i_o think_v they_o will_v have_v woman_n yea_o and_o child_n also_o to_o avoid_v excommunicate_v person_n so_o then_o by_o proportion_n woman_n &_o child_n in_o israel_n must_v cast_v stone_n at_o malefactor_n yea_o this_o may_v be_v further_o urge_v against_o they_o by_o reason_n of_o a_o pregnant_a note_n which_o they_o give_v in_o their_o 8.9_o treatise_n on_o mat._n 18_o that_o that_o be_v such_o a_o church_n as_o where_o woman_n may_v speak_v &_o be_v to_o be_v hear_v in_o their_o case_n and_o plea_n as_o well_o as_o man_n but_o it_o be_v not_o permit_v to_o woman_n to_o speak_v in_o the_o church_n of_o the_o saint_n etc._n etc._n where_o either_o they_o aequivocate_v with_o this_o word_n speak_v use_v it_o in_o divers_a sense_n a_o common_a sophist_n practice_n of_o such_o as_o will_v deceiv_v or_o they_o must_v permit_v woman_n to_o have_v voice_n and_o suffrage_n as_o well_o as_o man_n in_o all_o their_o church_n of_o elder_n and_o so_o by_o their_o proportion_n woman_n be_v to_o cast_v stone_n in_o israel_n for_o if_o woman_n be_v to_o do_v execution_n now_o why_o not_o then_o also_o 5._o now_o whereas_o they_o intimate_v to_o the_o reader_n as_o if_o we_o will_v have_v all_o man_n examine_v rebuke_n admonish_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o elder_n they_o do_v but_o labour_v the_o disgrace_n of_o the_o holy_a order_n in_o the_o church_n where_o the_o minister_n as_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o congregation_n propound_v examine_v and_o carry_v matter_n and_o then_o the_o people_n if_o there_o be_v defect_n or_o default_n may_v speak_v in_o due_a order_n but_o if_o in_o matter_n or_o manner_n they_o transgress_v they_o be_v to_o bear_v their_o rebuke_n all_o thing_n in_o the_o public_a judgement_n of_o the_o church_n be_v carry_v holy_o peaceable_o and_o by_o the_o government_n of_o the_o elder_n even_o as_o

it_o as_o in_o act._n 15.12_o that_o all_o the_o multitude_n keep_v silence_n otherwise_o strife_n and_o sometime_o disorder_v do_v often_o arise_v by_o the_o evil_a deal_n of_o the_o elder_n 6._o it_o be_v also_o to_o be_v observe_v how_o these_o our_o opposite_n will_v require_v by_o their_o proportion_n from_o israel_n child_n to_o stone_n their_o parent_n wife_n their_o husband_n and_o servant_n their_o master_n by_o avoid_v their_o communion_n yet_o will_v they_o not_o have_v they_o to_o be_v of_o that_o church_n which_o be_v to_o hear_v examine_v &_o judge_v of_o the_o cause_n why_o their_o parent_n etc._n etc._n shall_v be_v stone_v and_o excommunicate_v not_o bind_v to_o be_v present_a at_o the_o trial_n of_o their_o case_n do_v ever_o any_o common_a wealth_n in_o the_o world_n require_v such_o execution_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o wife_n child_n and_o servant_n and_o yet_o teach_v they_o so_o little_a to_o honour_n and_o regard_v their_o parent_n as_o not_o to_o think_v themselves_o bind_v to_o hear_v their_o case_n try_v but_o upon_o the_o elder_n report_n to_o stone_n their_o own_o father_n husband_n master_n which_o do_v take_v it_o on_o their_o death_n that_o they_o be_v innocent_a against_o 1._o cor._n 12.21_o 26._o which_o be_v by_o some_o allege_v they_o except_v 1._o that_o the_o apostle_n purpose_n be_v not_o to_o speak_v of_o case_n and_o plea_n about_o sin_v and_o of_o the_o manner_n of_o deal_v therein_o but_o of_o the_o diversity_n of_o gift_n and_o function_n give_v for_o the_o help_n and_o service_n of_o all_o to_o the_o build_n up_o of_o the_o body_n of_o christ._n i_o answer_v 1._o the_o apostle_n speak_v general_o of_o the_o 5.6_o diversity_n of_o gift_n ministery_n and_o operation_n in_o the_o church_n as_o they_o be_v give_v to_o to_o 7._o every_o man_n to_o profit_n with_o all_o and_o name_v in_o particular_a the_o etc._n gift_n operation_n and_o ministery_n and_o among_o the_o rest_n the_o 28._o governor_n or_o government_n and_o there_o be_v no_o church_n action_n which_o the_o apostle_n purpose_v not_o in_o that_o his_o dispute_n to_o comprehend_v their_o first_o exception_n therefore_o be_v not_o true_a 2._o neither_o do_v it_o agree_v with_o itself_o for_o if_o he_o speak_v as_o they_o confess_v of_o the_o diversity_n of_o gift_n and_o function_n give_v for_o the_o help_n and_o service_n of_o all_o to_o the_o build_n up_o of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n then_o can_v he_o not_o but_o speak_v of_o case_n and_o plea_n about_o sin_v see_v they_o be_v to_o be_v judge_v by_o the_o gift_n and_o function_n 12._o of_o the_o church_n they_o be_v for_o the_o help_n and_o service_n of_o 3.2_o all_o they_o help_v to_o 16._o build_v up_o the_o body_n of_o christ._n unless_o they_o will_v have_v we_o think_v that_o the_o elder_n prelacy_n which_o they_o strive_v for_o be_v none_o of_o those_o gift_n or_o function_n nor_o for_o the_o help_n and_o service_n of_o all_o nor_o for_o the_o build_n up_o of_o christ_n body_n but_o of_o antichrist_n this_o we_o will_v grant_v they_o to_o be_v true_a 2._o second_o they_o except_v the_o apostle_n show_v it_o by_o the_o similitude_n of_o the_o natural_a body_n and_o faculty_n and_o apply_v it_o to_o the_o feeble_a member_n even_o the_o young_a child_n new_o baptize_v vers_fw-la 13_o ●22_n to_o who_o he_o appoint_v not_o the_o case_n of_o sin_v to_o be_v bring_v to_o judgement_n and_o censure_n as_o we_o hereupon_o will_v infer_v i_o answer_v in_o thus_o speak_v they_o injury_n we_o and_o the_o truth_n itself_o will_v we_o infer_v that_o the_o judgement_n of_o sin_v shall_v be_v bring_v to_o infant_n new_o baptize_v because_o we_o say_v not_o the_o elder_n only_o but_o the_o church_n be_v to_o judge_v as_o 5.12_o paul_n teach_v and_o will_v th'apostle_n also_o infer_v think_v they_o that_o infant_n shall_v rebuke_v and_o judge_v unbeliever_n because_o he_o say_v 14.23.24_o when_o the_o whole_a church_n be_v come_v together_o in_o one_o if_o all_o pprophecy_n and_o there_o come_v in_o one_o that_o believe_v not_o he_o be_v rebuke_v of_o all_o &_o be_v judge_v of_o al._n and_o do_v josua_n also_o mean_a that_o the_o young_a child_n new_o circumcise_v throw_v stone_n at_o achan_n because_o he_o say_v 7.25_o all_o jsrael_n stone_v he_o we_o have_v not_o think_v wise_a man_n will_v ever_o have_v make_v such_o inference_n and_o what_o weight_n be_v in_o their_o reason_n from_o infant_n that_o if_o other_o beside_o elder_n may_v judge_v sinner_n than_o infant_n if_o not_o infant_n than_o no_o other_o but_o elder_n may_v not_o man_n thus_o elude_v all_o paul_n argument_n as_o when_o he_o say_v 12.7_o the_o manifestation_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v give_v to_o every_o one_o to_o profit_v withal_o they_o to_o conclude_v therefore_o the_o young_a child_n new_o baptize_v can_v manifest_v the_o spirit_n to_o the_o profit_n of_o other_o we_o have_v be_v 13._o all_o make_v to_o drink_v into_o one_o spirit_n therefore_o infant_n also_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n 26._o if_o one_o member_n be_v have_v in_o honour_n all_o the_o member_n rejoice_v with_o it_o therefore_o even_o the_o suck_a babe_n for_o they_o also_o be_v member_n but_o do_v not_o these_o man_n think_v to_o find_v babe_n of_o we_o that_o they_o have_v give_v such_o a_o answer_n to_o our_o allegation_n 3._o three_o they_o except_v that_o this_o similitude_n may_v likewise_o be_v apply_v to_o jsrael_n which_o we_o grant_v also_o we_o acknowledge_v that_o it_o may_v not_o either_o then_o or_o now_o pervert_v god_n ordinance_n about_o the_o elder_n hear_v etc._n etc._n they_o say_v the_o governor_n be_v set_v in_o the_o church_n for_o that_o use_n i_o answer_v not_o the_o governor_n only_a this_o be_v that_o which_o they_o shall_v prove_v they_o be_v to_o govern_v the_o church_n in_o all_o action_n but_o not_o to_o do_v they_o alone_o also_o they_o say_v all_o member_n have_v not_o fit_a gift_n for_o examine_v of_o
