euil out of him selfe yet that which is afore saied hath no doubt or ambiguitie where he forbiddeth vs not to accompanie those brethren which are noted of any of those vices afore named That is to saie be infamouse and notoriouse offenders in any of them Howe and after what manner sinners are to be rebuked and corrected THE III. CHAPTER BVT with what minde and with what charitie this merciful seueritie should be vsed he shewed not only in that place where he saith that his soule may be saued in the day of our Lorde Iesu Christ but also very euidently in an other place where he saieth 2. Thess 3. If any doe not harken vnto our worde note him by your Epistle and do not companie with him that he may be a shamed not yet esteeming him as an enemy but rebuking him as a brother And our Lorde him selfe being a singular example of patience whereby euen emong his twelue Apostles he suffred and endured a Diuel euen til his passion who also saieth Ioan. 6. suffer both to growe vp vnto the haruest least while you goe about to gather the cockle Math. 13. yee also roote vp the corne therewith and fore shewed that those nettes drawen in a similitude of the Churche vnto the shore that is vnto the ende of the worlde should haue in them both good and euill fisshes with suche like wherein either openly or by similitude he spake of the commixtion and entermeddlie of the good and the euil did not yet thinke therefore the Discipline of the Churche to be omitted but rather admonished it should be vsed where he said Math. 18. Take heade to your selues if thy brother sinne against thee goe and rebuke him secretly betwene him and thee if he heare thee thow haste gained thy brother but if he heare thee not then take with thee one or twoo that in the mouth of two or three witnesses all your talke may rest that if he do not heare them then tel the Church but if he wil neither harken vnto the Church then let him be vnto thee as an heathē and publican And immediatly he addeth a most greuous terror of that seueritie Math. 7. saying in the same place what so euer you lose in earth shal be losed also in heauen and what so euer you binde in earth shal be bound also in heauen He also forbiddeth that which is holy to be geuen to dogges Neither is the Apostle 1. Tim. 5. when he saith rebuke the offenders before all that the rest may be affraid cōtrary therfore vnto our lord where he saieth rebuke thy brother betwene him and thee For both is to be done euen as the diuersitie of their weakenes whome we meane not to destroy but to correct and amend doth require and one is to be cured in one sort and an other in an other sorte euen in the same sort there is a manner and order also of tolerating and bearing of euil persons in the Churche And there is againe a like consideration to be had in chastising and rebuking in not admitting or absolute excluding and remouing from the Communion and fellowship of the Church Of such as vnderstand the Scriptures amisse THE IIII. CHAPTER BVT men do erre in that they keepe not measure and when they haue begonne easely to be inclined to one syde they do not regard other testimonies of diuine auctoritie wherby they might be called backe from that mind and stay in that truth and moderation which is tempered of both and that not in this thing alone whereof now the question is but also in many other thinges For some beholding the testimonies of the diuine Scriptures witnessing vnto vs one God only to be serued and worshipped haue thought the same which is the sonne to be also the Father and the holy Ghoste Others againe being as it were sycke of the contrary disease while they attended those thinges whereby the Trinitie is declared and could not conceiue in their braine how there should be but one God sith the Father is not the Sonne nor the sonne the father nor yet the holy Ghost either the father or the sonne thought hereupon that diuersitie also of substances was to be affirmed and mainteyned Some beholding in the Scriptures the prayse of holy Virginitie haue cōdemned mariage Some againe folowing those testimonies wherby chast mariages are commended haue made wedlock equal in worthines with Virginitie Some when thei did reade It is good my brethern not to eate flesh Rom. 4. or to drincke wine haue thought some other lyke creatures of God and some meates in their fantasie to be vncleane Other some reading that euery creature of God is good and nothing to be cast awaye or refused whiche is receiued with thankesgeuing haue fallen into glottony and dronckennes not being able to escape one vice but that they fel on the contrary side to a greater Euen so in this matter which we haue now in hand some hauing an eye to the preceptes of seueritie and straightnes whereby we are admonished to rebuke the vnquiet not to geue that is holy vnto dogges to repute the despiser of the Churche as an heathen to pul away from the knot and vnitie of the body that mēber which causeth scanlder or offence do so trowble the peace of the Church that thei go about before the time to separat the cockle and so blinded by this error do rather separate them selues from the vnitie of Christe And suche is our cause againste the schisme of Donatus And this not with them that knewe Cecilianus who is charged not with true but with sclaunderous crimes nor with them that stande stubbornely and impudently in charging him styll but with them to whome we saye Put the case they were euil men for whose sakes your selues be not in the Churche yet ought you by bearing with them whom ye could not amend or put away from you haue remained notwithstanding your selues in the Churche But againe some perilously aduenturing on the other syde when they see the mingling of good and euil in the Churche shewed or foretolde and haue learned the preceptes of patience which doo make vs so strong that although there seeme to be cockle in the Churche yet should not our faith or charitie thereby be hindred or at lest for that cockle whiche we see in the Churche we should not therefore our selues depart from the Churche do thinke that both the Church and Discipline is to be newe instituted geeuing vnto the Prelates and rulers thereof a certayne moste peruers securitie as though to them appertayned only to tell vs whereof we should beware or what we should doo but not to care what in deede any man doth That for euil mens sake we should not depart from the Churche and after what manner the euil should be either corrected or suffered in the Churche THE V.
