arminianism_n judge_v you_o master_n doctor_n and_o answer_v not_o with_o complaint_n &_o lamentable_a interjection_n as_o if_o you_o will_v rather_o be_v pity_v then_o bind_v to_o prove_v any_o

the_o clear_v reformation_n as_o for_o that_o which_o he_o say_v p._n 13._o §_o 2._o that_o a_o bishop_n be_v a_o presbytery_n contract_v and_o a_o presbytery_n a_o bishop_n diffuse_v 1._o it_o be_v

one_o man_n shall_v go_v and_o contrive_v into_o his_o own_o person_n all_o the_o authority_n which_o be_v diffuse_v among_o all_o the_o ruler_n there_o think_v you_o that_o they_o will_v endure_v he_o or_o rather_o not_o put_v he_o to_o death_n as_o a_o tyrant_n and_o a_o traitor_n according_a to_o his_o demerit_n the_o very_a contrivance_n of_o authority_n into_o one_o person_n which_o god_n have_v diffuse_v in_o many_o be_v unjust_a and_o tyrannical_a in_o god_n church_n but_o the_o doctor_n object_v that_o in_o forbear_v excommunication_n i_o believe_v he_o understand_v the_o great_a they_o leave_v more_o to_o the_o magistrate_n than_o the_o presbytery_n do_v answ_n this_o the_o doctor_n say_v but_o prove_v it_o not_o and_o therefore_o we_o deny_v it_o with_o the_o like_a facility_n that_o he_o propound_v it_o our_o reason_n be_v because_o when_o a_o man_n be_v excommunicate_v the_o civil_a magistrate_n cease_v not_o for_o all_o that_o to_o punish_v he_o civil_o for_o the_o presbytery_n by_o excommunication_n exile_v or_o cast_v he_o out_o of_o the_o church_n society_n notwithstanding_o which_o he_o remain_v in_o the_o state_n society_n and_o if_o his_o sin_n be_v against_o the_o state_n and_o deserve_v it_o the_o magistrate_n may_v exile_v he_o and_o cast_v he_o out_o of_o the_o state_n society_n or_o of_o the_o kingdom_n but_o not_o out_o of_o the_o church_n no_o more_o than_o the_o church_n may_v cast_v he_o out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n as_o for_o your_o comparison_n in_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o english_a heart_n that_o speak_v so_o it_o be_v but_o a_o sophistical_a evasion_n seditious_o to_o clude_v their_o argument_n whereunto_o you_o can_v bring_v so_o much_o as_o a_o probable_a solution_n so_o you_o grant_v what_o they_o say_v neither_o be_v our_o dispute_n here_o about_o english_a scot_n or_o french_a but_o about_o christian_a heart_n and_o conscience_n it_o be_v a_o shame_n to_o a_o english_a man_n to_o be_v author_n of_o schism_n in_o his_o own_o country_n when_o stranger_n employ_v all_o their_o endeavour_n for_o union_n and_o peace_n both_o in_o church_n and_o commonwealth_n but_o this_o i_o leave_v and_o pray_v you_o to_o tell_v we_o what_o you_o give_v more_o to_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n than_o we_o whether_o it_o be_v a_o ecclesiastical_a or_o civil_a power_n and_o wherein_o whether_o to_o judge_v in_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n or_o discipline_n remember_v sir_n that_o in_o speak_v of_o new_a england_n 8._o p._n 8._o you_o give_v they_o nothing_o else_o but_o god_n word_n for_o church_n government_n and_o the_o king_n patent_n for_o what_o they_o do_v in_o policy_n and_o tell_v we_o if_o ever_o they_o follow_v the_o king_n or_o his_o counsel_n direction_n in_o church_n policy_n item_n tell_v we_o whether_o it_o be_v the_o civil_a magistrate_n or_o the_o church_n officer_n part_n to_o erect_v church_n government_n and_o to_o make_v the_o law_n thereof_o to_o judge_v according_a to_o the_o same_o and_o to_o put_v they_o in_o execution_n &_o c_o here_o he_o tell_v we_o also_o or_o object_v that_o excommunication_n have_v need_n of_o better_a ground_n than_o man_n sin_v of_o simplicity_n or_o ignorance_n answ_n so_o the_o ignorance_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o deny_v of_o his_o merit_n shall_v not_o incur_v the_o sentence_n of_o excommunication_n he_o object_v that_o the_o punishment_n of_o excommunication_n for_o small_a fault_n will_v make_v the_o punishment_n at_o last_o small_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n answ_n it_o be_v true_a but_o be_v it_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o reform_a church_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v inflict_v for_o small_a fault_n but_o to_o clear_v more_o this_o matter_n two_o thing_n be_v needful_a to_o be_v expound_v the_o first_o be_v what_o the_o independent_o understand_v by_o great_a sin_n the_o second_o what_o they_o understand_v by_o the_o party_n know_v light_n three_o what_o by_o christianity_n fourthly_a what_o by_o common_a receive_v practice_n of_o christianity_n fift_o what_o by_o the_o church_n as_o for_o the_o first_o a_o sin_n may_v be_v great_a either_o quoad_fw-la essentiam_fw-la or_o quoad_fw-la entitatem_fw-la according_a to_o its_o essence_n or_o entity_n or_o as_o it_o be_v its_o quantity_n that_o sin_n be_v say_v to_o be_v great_a than_o another_o according_a to_o its_o essence_n the_o species_n whereof_o degenerate_v most_o from_o the_o divine_a rule_n of_o god_n law_n such_o as_o be_v the_o sin_n that_o be_v great_a in_o regard_n of_o their_o object_n so_o it_o be_v a_o great_a sin_n to_o offend_v god_n then_o man_n because_o it_o include_v in_o itself_o a_o great_a objective_n deformity_n than_o the_o other_o but_o a_o sin_n be_v great_a than_o another_o according_a to_o its_o entity_n or_o quantity_n that_o have_v great_a extension_n intention_n or_o duration_n i._n e._n more_o part_n more_o degree_n and_o of_o a_o long_a continuance_n than_o another_o by_o extension_n or_o more_o part_n i_o understand_v either_o objective_n or_o formal_a part_n viz._n when_o a_o sin_n be_v commit_v against_o more_o person_n as_o the_o sin_n commit_v against_o twenty_o be_v great_a than_o that_o commit_v against_o two_o or_o have_v more_o material_a object_n as_o when_o one_o steal_v more_o money_n viz._n two_o pound_n it_o be_v a_o great_a fin_n then_o to_o steal_v two_o penny_n so_o it_o be_v a_o great_a sin_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o formal_a pert_n or_o act_n wherein_o formal_o sin_n consift_v if_o they_o be_v take_v in_o concreto_fw-la when_o a_o man_n return_v oftentimes_o to_o the_o same_o sin_n as_o he_o who_o steal_v ten_o time_n be_v a_o far_o great_a sinner_n than_o he_o that_o steal_v but_o only_o once_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o intention_n or_o degree_n of_o sin_n that_o sin_n be_v great_a than_o another_o wherein_o there_o be_v more_o degree_n as_o when_o it_o be_v commit_v more_o willing_o with_o greaterliberty_n with_o great_a violence_n with_o great_a knowledge_n item_n by_o he_o that_o have_v great_a help_n of_o grace_n or_o of_o nature_n to_o resist_v it_o and_o to_o produce_v the_o opposite_a effect_n of_o virtue_n final_o that_o sin_n be_v great_a than_o another_o in_o duration_n that_o continue_v long_a so_o a_o sin_n may_v be_v great_a than_o another_o quoad_fw-la essentiam_fw-la and_o less_o quoadentitatem_fw-la or_o essential_o great_a but_o entitative_o or_o in_o quantity_n less_o than_o another_o and_o on_o the_o contrary_n great_a than_o another_o quoad_fw-la entitatem_fw-la or_o in_o regard_n of_o its_o quantity_n but_o not_o great_a essential_o for_o example_n if_o a_o man_n sin_n against_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o first_o table_n in_o not_o love_v god_n with_o all_o his_o heart_n &_o be_v sorry_a therefore_o and_o against_o his_o father_n not_o only_o in_o not_o love_v he_o as_o himself_o but_o also_o in_o abuse_v he_o willing_o and_o offer_v he_o violence_n without_o any_o remorse_n of_o conscience_n the_o first_o sin_n be_v great_a essentialiter_fw-la but_o the_o last_o be_v great_a entitatiuè_n so_o some_o schoolman_n say_v that_o faith_n be_v more_o certain_a than_o any_o
