anabaptism_n 2._o i_o ask_v by_o what_o power_n of_o the_o key_n do_v your_o pastor_n admit_v a_o member_n of_o another_o church_n to_o partake_v of_o the_o lord_n supper_n in_o you_o or_o in_o what_o relation_n do_v your_o pastor_n stand_v to_o that_o member_n of_o another_o church_n you_o say_v pastor_n and_o church_n be_v relate_v and_o he_o be_v a_o pastor_n to_o none_o but_o of_o his_o own_o church_n either_o then_o to_o administer_v the_o lord_n supper_n to_o a_o member_n of_o another_o church_n be_v no_o pastoral_a act_n but_o may_v be_v do_v by_o a_o gift_a brother_n or_o else_o a_o pastor_n and_o his_o church_n be_v not_o so_o relate_v but_o that_o he_o be_v a_o pastor_n beyond_o the_o limit_n of_o his_o own_o congregation_n which_o yet_o you_o do_v deny_v 3._o you_o be_v also_o very_o spare_v in_o grant_v this_o liberty_n for_o you_o add_v in_o case_n neither_o himself_o nor_o the_o church_n from_o whence_o he_o come_v do_v lie_n under_o any_o public_a offence_n but_o what_o if_o that_o party_n be_v free_a from_o the_o guilt_n of_o that_o offence_n shall_v the_o innocent_a suffer_v for_o the_o nocent_a what_o charity_n what_o justice_n be_v in_o this_o 4._o but_o your_o reason_n i_o like_v very_o well_o for_o we_o receive_v the_o lord_n supper_n not_o only_o as_o a_o seal_n of_o our_o communion_n with_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o with_o his_o member_n in_o our_o own_o church_n but_o also_o in_o all_o the_o church_n of_o the_o saint_n whence_o i_o infer_v than_o it_o be_v not_o any_o favour_n dispense_v by_o you_o to_o a_o member_n of_o another_o church_n but_o a_o dignity_n or_o privilege_n common_a to_o every_o member_n of_o that_o body_n by_o virtue_n of_o that_o membership_n and_o not_o with_o respect_n to_o his_o particular_a church_n membership_n and_o i_o pray_v be_v not_o baptism_n also_o a_o seal_n of_o our_o communion_n with_o all_o the_o member_n of_o christ_n body_n why_o then_o may_v you_o not_o admit_v the_o child_n of_o the_o member_n of_o any_o church_n to_o be_v baptize_v by_o your_o pastor_n upon_o just_a occasion_n as_o well_o as_o to_o admit_v the_o parent_n to_o the_o lord_n supper_n nay_o further_o if_o the_o sacrament_n be_v seal_n of_o our_o communion_n with_o all_o the_o member_n of_o christ_n why_o do_v you_o not_o admit_v any_o true_a christian_a and_o his_o child_n to_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o sacrament_n though_o they_o be_v not_o as_o yet_o admit_v member_n of_o any_o particular_a congregation_n how_o dare_v you_o deny_v any_o member_n of_o that_o body_n communion_n with_o its_o fellow-member_n when_o it_o have_v union_n and_o communion_n with_o the_o head_n consider_v it_o 2._o a_o second_o way_n of_o your_o communion_n of_o church_n be_v by_o way_n of_o recommendation_n as_o paul_n in_o the_o behalf_n of_o phoebe_n etc._n etc._n but_o this_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v any_o part_n of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n that_o it_o be_v a_o duty_n which_o a_o church_n or_o party_n owe_v to_o any_o christian_n that_o be_v godly_a not_o by_o virtue_n of_o any_o particular_a church-membership_a but_o by_o the_o common_a interest_n of_o christianity_n yea_o by_o the_o common_a right_n of_o humanity_n even_o to_o a_o honest_a heathen_a according_a to_o the_o nine_o commandment_n which_o require_v we_o to_o bear_v true_a witness_n to_o our_o brother_n if_o we_o be_v thereto_o require_v the_o letter_n be_v only_o declarative_a of_o the_o good_a behaviour_n of_o the_o party_n occasion_v to_o remove_v to_o such_o a_o place_n be_v this_o think_v you_o a_o part_n of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n deliver_v to_o peter_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n beside_o if_o there_o be_v any_o virtue_n in_o these_o letter_n to_o admit_v a_o member_n into_o communion_n be_v there_o not_o a_o like_a virtue_n in_o they_o to_o excommunicate_v one_o ungodly_a and_o if_o these_o letter_n dimissory_a have_v power_n to_o admit_v a_o member_n of_o one_o church_n to_o be_v a_o member_n of_o another_o without_o any_o new_a covenant_n have_v they_o not_o the_o like_a power_n to_o admit_v the_o pastor_n of_o one_o church_n to_o be_v a_o pastor_n of_o another_o church_n without_o any_o new_a ordination_n which_o yet_o i_o believe_v you_o do_v not_o practice_v 3._o by_o way_n of_o consultation_n and_o 4_o by_o congregation_n into_o a_o synod_n but_o what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n if_o upon_o congregation_n and_o consultation_n of_o other_o church-officer_n there_o be_v not_o a_o bind_a power_n it_o be_v rather_o a_o latch_n of_o a_o door_n which_o may_v be_v open_v and_o shut_v at_o any_o body_n pleasure_n than_o a_o key_n to_o let_v in_o or_o lock_v out_o with_o any_o authority_n but_o of_o the_o power_n of_o synod_n more_o hereafter_o 4._o a_o five_o way_n be_v the_o liberty_n of_o give_v and_o receive_v mutual_a supply_v one_o from_o another_o gift_a man_n or_o benevolence_n etc._n etc._n i_o conceive_v first_o these_o be_v rather_o duty_n of_o common_a charity_n than_o of_o church_n liberty_n or_o any_o power_n of_o the_o key_n and_o i_o desire_v to_o know_v what_o those_o gift_a man_n be_v that_o the_o church_n of_o antioch_n send_v to_o other_o country_n be_v they_o not_o apostle_n or_o prophet_n or_o teacher_n in_o office_n then_o they_o be_v pastor_n or_o teacher_n by_o office_n before_o they_o be_v send_v before_o they_o be_v elect_v or_o ordain_v by_o the_o church_n to_o which_o they_o be_v send_v thereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o a_o pastor_n or_o teacher_n because_o you_o may_v say_v a_o pastor_n relate_v to_o his_o own_o flock_n a_o teacher_n so_o be_v barnabas_n act_v 13.1_o be_v a_o teacher_n to_o the_o general_a visible_a church_n not_o to_o the_o particular_a church_n only_o as_o you_o hold_v and_o then_o again_o a_o teacher_n quâ_fw-la teacher_n may_v preach_v to_o another_o church_n and_o convert_v heathen_n and_o not_o as_o a_o gift_a brother_n only_o as_o you_o sometime_o speak_v a_o six_o way_n be_v by_o way_n of_o mutual_a admonition_n when_o a_o public_a offence_n be_v find_v among_o they_o one_o church_n may_v send_v to_o admonish_v another_o and_o if_o that_o church_n will_v not_o hear_v take_v two_o or_o three_o other_o church_n and_o if_o not_o hear_v they_o then_o withdraw_v etc._n etc._n this_o admonition_n be_v a_o duty_n of_o every_o brother_n at_o least_o of_o every_o christian_a as_o a_o christian_a and_o no_o power_n of_o the_o key_n at_o all_o and_o let_v it_o be_v consider_v that_o the_o place_n matth._n 18.15_o 16._o 53._o those_o two_o or_o three_o be_v not_o consider_v as_o a_o church-body_n but_o as_o a_o sufficient_a number_n of_o witness_n to_o join_v with_o a_o brother_n offend_v etc._n etc._n agree_v in_o a_o duty_n of_o

why_o may_v they_o not_o take_v the_o three_o step_n as_o the_o last_o remedy_n to_o excommunicate_v she_o be_v obstinate_a as_o the_o church_n do_v a_o obstinate_a b●o_v she_o no_o because_o the_o church_n be_v all_o of_o equal_a authority_n but_o so_o be_v all_o the_o member_n of_o a_o congregation_n of_o equal_a authority_n yet_o the_o whole_a may_v excommunicate_v he_o and_o if_o there_o be_v as_o much_o church-communion_n between_o church_n as_o there_o be_v between_o member_n of_o a_o particular_a congregation_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o many_o church_n assemble_v in_o a_o synod_n may_v not_o as_o well_o excommunicate_a a_o obstinate_a church_n as_o a_o congregation_n a_o particular_a member_n if_o you_o deny_v excommunication_n of_o a_o church_n other_o will_v and_o do_v deny_v excommunication_n of_o a_o member_n and_o say_v non-communion_n or_o withdraw_a be_v as_o much_o as_o can_v be_v do_v and_o if_o you_o say_v the_o church_n may_v withdraw_v communion_n i_o demand_v first_o what_o be_v that_o in_o effect_n but_o excommunication_n want_v only_o a_o synodical_a decree_n yet_o page_n 25._o you_o say_v a_fw-la synod_n have_v power_n to_o determine_v to_o withdraw_v communion_n from_o a_o offend_a church_n and_o be_v it_o any_o more_o in_o the_o excommunication_n of_o a_o offend_a brother_n they_o do_v but_o determine_v all_o shall_v withdraw_v communion_n from_o he_o this_o be_v therefore_o but_o a_o mere_a logom●chie_n 6._o the_o last_o way_n of_o communion_n of_o church_n be_v by_o way_n of_o propagation_n or_o multiplication_n of_o church_n but_o 1._o this_o be_v rather_o a_o division_n of_o church_n
