Wherein the severall arguments and texts of scripture produced, are particularly and distinctly discussed: and the debarring of ignorant and scandalous persons from the sacrament vindicated.

think_v none_o will_v deny_v but_o to_o savour_n of_o much_o moderation_n and_o caution_n withal_o you_o may_v remember_v for_o sure_a you_o know_v it_o that_o in_o all_o court_n of_o equity_n or_o conscience_n as_o they_o be_v call_v much_o be_v and_o necessary_o must_v be_v leave_v to_o the_o discretion_n of_o the_o judge_n which_o be_v in_o some_o court_n with_o less_o certainty_n and_o less_o remedy_n also_o of_o appeal_v in_o case_n of_o wrong_n or_o tyranny_n then_o can_v be_v in_o eldership_n if_o the_o power_n desire_v be_v settle_v in_o they_o six_o you_o advise_v the_o avoid_v of_o extreme_n and_o the_o seem_a affectation_n of_o a_o great_a lording_n power_n over_o the_o conrcience_n and_o privilege_n of_o christian_n and_o brethren_n then_o of_o right_n belong_v to_o they_o i_o answer_v 1._o sure_o no_o lording_n power_n at_o all_o over_o conscience_n and_o privilege_n of_o right_n belong_v to_o any_o in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n but_o a_o ministerial_a power_n of_o judge_v and_o censure_v scandalous_a sinner_n belong_v to_o church-officer_n according_a to_o the_o word_n as_o yourself_o can_v but_o grant_v if_o you_o grant_v excommunication_n at_o all_o and_o if_o you_o do_v not_o grant_v excommunication_n at_o all_o why_o do_v you_o so_o sedulous_o bring_v in_o the_o mention_n of_o that_o in_o three_o of_o your_o question_n and_o lie_v so_o much_o weight_n upon_o it_o as_o you_o plain_o do_v 2._o do_v not_o you_o yourself_o know_v even_o by_o experience_n that_o no_o man_n can_v show_v zeal_n against_o scandalous_a sin_n but_o by_o some_o and_o even_o too_o many_o he_o will_v seem_v to_o run_v into_o extreme_n and_o to_o affect_v a_o lording_n over_o man_n conscience_n final_o to_o end_v these_o preparatory_a animadversion_n and_o answer_n to_o your_o title_n preface_n and_o other_o circumstantial_a passage_n of_o your_o paper_n you_o will_v be_v please_v sad_o and_o serious_o to_o consider_v that_o all_o this_o reproach_n oblique_o cast_v upon_o the_o assembly_n in_o the_o forementioned_a infinuation_n and_o other_o in_o this_o paper_n do_v in_o like_a fort_n asperse_v all_o the_o reform_a church_n of_o christ_n that_o have_v any_o ecclesiastical_a discipline_n who_o all_o practice_n what_o the_o assembly_n have_v desire_v and_o yet_o further_o disgrace_v all_o the_o discipline_n of_o the_o

full_o if_o they_o shall_v require_v it_o and_o now_o i_o come_v to_o your_o four_o grand_a question_n in_o their_o order_n whereof_o the_o first_o be_v this_o whether_o matth._n 18.16_o 17._o or_o 1_o cor._n 5.5.11_o 1_o tim._n 1.20_o be_v mean_v proper_o of_o excommunication_n or_o suspension_n from_o the_o sacrament_n only_o i_o answer_v first_o this_o under_o your_o favour_n be_v a_o very_a impertinent_a question_n to_o your_o propound_a scope_n of_o avoid_v arbitrary_a tyrannical_a domineer_a over_o conscience_n and_o privilege_n for_o if_o they_o prove_v excommunication_n proper_o which_o be_v a_o great_a censure_n than_o suspension_n then_o either_o a_o great_a power_n prove_v by_o the_o word_n must_v be_v reproach_v with_o tyranny_n and_o arbitrary_a unlimitednesse_n etc._n etc._n or_o else_o that_o load_n be_v unjust_o cast_v upon_o a_o lesser_a power_n a_o power_n of_o a_o less_o censure_n for_o sure_a you_o will_v not_o say_v that_o it_o be_v tyranny_n and_o a_o arbitrary_a unlimited_a domineer_a to_o deny_v a_o childa_n meal_n meat_n when_o it_o will_v hurt_v he_o and_o none_o to_o turn_v he_o quite_o out_o of_o door_n whereby_o he_o may_v be_v in_o danger_n to_o starve_v so_o that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o use_n of_o this_o question_n in_o this_o dispute_n it_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v only_o to_o perplex_v the_o reader_n and_o entangle_v the_o business_n and_o so_o i_o may_v dismiss_v it_o but_o i_o shall_v answer_v distinct_o to_o your_o text_n first_o matth._n 18._o speak_v proper_o as_o i_o suppose_v of_o excommunication_n as_o your_o quaere_fw-la intimate_v mean_o while_o your_o gloss_n you_o give_v in_o a_o parenthesis_n will_v not_o hinder_v it_o to_o be_v mean_v of_o either_o for_o first_o though_o the_o word_n be_v let_v he_o be_v to_o thou_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o exclusive_a to_o thou_o and_o no_o other_o but_o respective_a to_o thou_o who_o have_v be_v scandalize_v and_o from_o thence_o the_o argument_n will_v be_v strong_a 1._o if_o to_o thou_o for_o resuse_v to_o hear_v the_o church_n then_o to_o all_o other_o who_o know_v that_o he_o have_v refuse_v to_o hear_v they_o for_o that_o make_v it_o as_o much_o a_o scandal_n to_o they_o as_o before_o it_o be_v to_o thou_o when_o thou_o only_o know_v it_o 2._o also_o bind_v on_o earth_n and_o bind_v in_o heaven_n when_o know_v by_o the_o publication_n of_o the_o church_n sentence_n and_o thy_o hold_v he_o thereupon_o as_o a_o heathen_a and_o publican_n will_v reach_v to_o make_v he_o so_o to_o other_o as_o well_o as_o to_o thou_o the_o complainant_n second_o though_o the_o word_n be_v if_o thy_o brother_n trespass_n against_o thou_o yet_o neither_o be_v this_o exclusive_a nor_o yet_o luke_n 17._o so_o as_o that_o this_o rule_n shall_v extend_v only_o to_o pesonall_a private_a trespass_n between_o man_n and_o man_n but_o contrary_o here_o also_o the_o argument_n be_v strong_a à_fw-la minori_fw-la ad_fw-la majus_fw-la if_o thou_o may_v complain_v for_o a_o private_a personal_a trespass_n and_o final_o repute_v he_o a_o heathen_a and_o publican_n for_o impenitent_a obstinacy_n and_o not_o hear_v the_o church_n then_o much_o more_o be_v this_o to_o be_v do_v in_o public_a scandalous_a sin_n against_o the_o congregation_n or_o else_o the_o publicness_n and_o scandalousnesse_n of_o the_o sin_n which_o be_v fearful_a aggravation_n shall_v obtain_v a_o impunity_n and_o immunity_n from_o that_o complaint_n and_o censure_n which_o belong_v to_o a_o lesser_a and_o more_o private_a offence_n which_o be_v absurd_a to_o imagine_v but_o suppose_v it_o to_o be_v as_o you_o contend_v let_v he_o be_v to_o thou_o not_o to_o the_o church_n and_o that_o it_o be_v for_o a_o private_a trespass_n not_o a_o public_a scanda_fw-la yet_o how_o do_v this_o tend_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o place_n be_v mean_v proper_o of_o excommunication_n and_o not_o of_o suspension_n from_o the_o lord_n supper_n only_o second_o 1_o cor._n 5.5_o and_o 1_o tim._n 1.20_o which_o speak_v of_o deliver_v to_o satan_n be_v proper_o mean_v of_o excommunication_n yet_o neither_o do_v they_o deny_v suspension_n by_o way_n of_o endeavour_n to_o prevent_v the_o high_a censure_n and_o for_o the_o present_a prevent_n of_o mischief_n to_o the_o offender_n and_o the_o congregation_n or_o those_o that_o know_v his_o offence_n or_o of_o the_o dishonour_n of_o christ_n if_o such_o a_o one_o be_v as_o yet_o not_o penitent_a shall_v approach_v his_o holy_a table_n to_o partake_v of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o which_o he_o will_v be_v guilty_a infallible_o if_o he_o so_o come_v in_o his_o sin_n three_o 1_o cor._n 5.11_o with_o such_o a_o one_o no_v not_o to_o eat_v infer_v suspension_n first_o and_o after_o excommunication_n upon_o the_o ground_n now_o mention_v and_o afterward_o to_o be_v enlarge_v and_o apply_v even_o to_o this_o text_n and_o prove_v by_o it_o under_o your_o former_a question_n you_o have_v another_o which_o have_v also_o two_o branch_n and_o so_o we_o have_v three_o question_n in_o stead_n of_o one_o in_o this_o one_o section_n and_o we_o shall_v see_v the_o like_a afterward_o you_o ask_v what_o warrant_v here_o be_v in_o

excommunication_n be_v the_o high_a censure_n of_o the_o church_n to_o which_o man_n shall_v not_o proceed_v till_o extreme_a necessity_n from_o the_o offender_n obstinacy_n compel_v mean_a time_n it_o may_v be_v evident_a that_o if_o he_o shall_v be_v admit_v he_o will_v dishonour_v christ_n in_o stead_n of_o worship_v he_o and_o mischiave_v his_o own_o soul_n in_o stead_n of_o do_v it_o

by_o excommunication_n and_o against_o this_o none_o of_o the_o forementioned_a place_n which_o you_o do_v annex_v do_v make_v opposition_n and_o among_o they_o 1_o cor._n 5._o and_o 2_o thes_n 3._o
