15_o unbridle_a contumacy_n be_v almost_o the_o most_o heinous_a sin_n against_o the_o church_n whether_o it_o be_v that_o he_o who_o be_v call_v refuse_v to_o appear_v or_o that_o be_v lawful_o admonish_v and_o convict_v he_o deny_v to_o confess_v his_o fault_n as_o it_o deserve_v 16_o after_o the_o lawful_a trial_n of_o the_o cause_n both_o the_o whole_a fact_n together_o with_o the_o circumstance_n be_v careful_o to_o be_v consider_v and_o also_o great_a regard_n be_v to_o be_v have_v of_o the_o sinner_n himself_o brief_o all_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v refer_v unto_o this_o end_n namely_o that_o regard_n be_v have_v both_o to_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o sinner_n and_o also_o to_o the_o aedification_n of_o the_o church_n in_o prevent_v offence_n 17_o for_o the_o end_n of_o these_o censure_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n the_o one_o that_o a_o timely_a and_o a_o convenient_a remedy_n may_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o sinner_n who_o be_v neither_o to_o be_v leave_v in_o his_o sin_n nor_o swallow_v up_o with_o heaviness_n the_o other_o end_n be_v both_o that_o the_o church_n may_v be_v purge_v from_o offence_n and_o infect_v by_o no_o contagion_n and_o also_o that_o every_o man_n may_v be_v instruct_v and_o teach_v by_o the_o example_n of_o other_o 18_o there_o be_v also_o a_o difference_n to_o be_v make_v between_o those_o who_o do_v confess_v their_o fault_n and_o those_o who_o do_v profess_v their_o repentance_n lest_o that_o a_o feign_a confession_n be_v rash_o believe_v or_o that_o whilst_o some_o one_o be_v bear_v with_o by_o untimely_a le●itie_n a_o sufficient_a care_n shall_v not_o be_v have_v for_o the_o public_a aedification_n of_o the_o church_n as_o the_o example_n show_v by_o the_o lord_n himself_o upon_o marie_n moses_n sister_n do_v declare_v touch_v which_o point_n a_o perpetual_a rule_n neither_o can_v nor_o aught_o to_o be_v set_v down_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o variety_n and_o diversity_n of_o the_o circumstance_n wherefore_o with_o reverence_n of_o the_o father_n be_v it_o speak_v we_o do_v not_o allow_v of_o the_o too_o great_a severity_n of_o many_o of_o the_o ancient_a cannon_n in_o appoint_v the_o space_n of_o repentance_n from_o the_o which_o necessity_n compel_v they_o to_o depart_v by_o bring_v in_o their_o indulgence_n 19_o the_o sort_n of_o these_o ecclesiastical_a censure_n be_v admonition_n suspension_n from_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o they_o call_v the_o lesser_a excommunication_n public_a excommunication_n unto_o the_o time_n that_o repentance_n be_v testify_v as_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o hebrew_n also_o have_v a_o threefold_n excommunication_n yet_o as_o touch_v perpetual_a anathema_n or_o excommunication_n to_o death_n the_o father_n of_o the_o sound_a judgement_n just_o dislike_v the_o same_o 20_o we_o be_v to_o abstain_v from_o the_o company_n of_o those_o that_o be_v publicklie_o excommunicate_v to_o the_o end_n as_o the_o apostle_n witness_v that_o they_o may_v be_v ashamed_a yet_o so_o as_o we_o be_v to_o perform_v towards_o they_o all_o those_o thing_n which_o appertain_v to_o admonish_v they_o of_o their_o duty_n and_o to_o call_v they_o to_o the_o right_a way_n 21_o this_o excommunication_n be_v altogether_o a_o spiritual_a chastisement_n and_o do_v direct_o belong_v unto_o the_o amendment_n of_o the_o conscience_n wherefore_o they_o be_v overthrow_v both_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n &_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o whole_a ecclesiastical_a story_n who_o do_v attribute_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o eldership_n in_o bind_v and_o lose_v unto_o the_o magistrate_n though_o christian_a much_o more_o they_o who_o leave_v no_o place_n unto_o those_o ecclesiastical_a judgement_n where_o there_o be_v a_o christian_a magistrate_n see_v on_o the_o contrary_a side_n they_o can_v be_v no_o where_n more_o practise_v than_o under_o his_o wing_n when_o as_o his_o authority_n who_o be_v the_o maintainer_n and_o defender_n of_o this_o whole_a divine_a ordinance_n be_v use_v against_o the_o disobedient_a neither_o be_v there_o any_o other_o course_n take_v in_o the_o ancient_a church_n even_o under_o the_o most_o religious_a emperor_n they_o do_v also_o greevouslie_o err_v who_o as_o it_o be_v usual_a among_o the_o papist_n draw_v mere_a civil_a cause_n unto_o this_o ecclesiastical_a court._n for_o christ_n do_v not_o only_o distinguish_v but_o also_o most_o manifest_o sever_v the_o office_n of_o the_o magistrate_n from_o the_o ecclesiastical_a function_n although_o he_o have_v command_v all_o those_o who_o execute_v the_o ecclesiastical_a function_n aswell_o as_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o subject_n to_o submit_v themselves_o unto_o the_o power_n of_o the_o magistrate_n in_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v proper_o belong_v to_o his_o office_n and_o again_o he_o will_v have_v king_n and_o emperor_n themselves_o to_o be_v subject_a unto_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o ecclesiastical_a ministry_n and_o to_o the_o commandment_n of_o his_o word_n now_o of_o this_o divine_a order_n we_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o the_o magistrate_n be_v ordain_v the_o maintainer_n and_o defender_n 22_o the_o contract_n of_o marriage_n see_v in_o part_n it_o be_v manifest_a and_o proper_o divine_a namely_o in_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o very_a bond_n and_o covenaunt_n of_o the_o marriage_n and_o in_o part_n meerelie_o civil_a as_o far_o as_o it_o belong_v unto_o the_o common_a soeietie_n of_o man_n &_o in_o that_o diverse_a civil_a condition_n belong_v to_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n be_v adjoin_v thereunto_o wherefore_o matrimonial_a controversy_n be_v in_o some_o sort_n to_o be_v refer_v unto_o the_o determination_n of_o the_o eldership_n as_o shall_v be_v speak_v more_o full_o god_n will_v in_o the_o proper_a place_n thereof_o 23_o they_o who_o have_v authority_n to_o bind_v the_o sinner_n the_o cause_n be_v lawful_o try_v have_v also_o authority_n to_o loose_v and_o to_o restore_v he_o to_o the_o church_n when_o he_o have_v approve_v his_o repentance_n 24_o this_o confession_n that_o be_v this_o profession_n of_o repentance_n whether_o it_o be_v do_v before_o the_o eldership_n or_o public_o in_o the_o congregation_n of_o the_o church_n be_v to_o go_v before_o his_o absolution_n and_o reconciliation_n with_o the_o church_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o the_o neglect_v hereof_o be_v to_o be_v take_v for_o undoubted_a contumacy_n they_o be_v therefore_o deceive_v who_o think_v that_o those_o who_o be_v bind_v in_o the_o consistory_n of_o the_o eldership_n be_v to_o be_v leave_v unto_o their_o own_o judgement_n and_o trial_n and_o they_o offend_v no_o less_o who_o as_o they_o have_v abolish_v the_o eldership_n so_o also_o have_v they_o command_v this_o confession_n which_o be_v only_o proper_a unto_o those_o that_o be_v tie_v by_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o eldership_n as_o a_o law_n common_a to_o all_o christian_n and_o have_v turn_v it_o unto_o auricular_a confession_n which_o be_v to_o be_v do_v either_o unto_o the_o mass-priest_n or_o unto_o the_o confessor_n as_o they_o common_o call_v he_o 25_o see_v this_o confession_n though_o most_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n be_v not_o therefore_o ordain_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o satisfaction_n for_o sin_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n but_o only_o that_o the_o church_n may_v be_v assure_v of_o the_o repentance_n and_o restore_n of_o the_o sinner_n it_o be_v only_o thus_o far_o necessary_a as_o he_o who_o have_v not_o perform_v the_o same_o before_o his_o death_n the_o fault_n not_o be_v he_o be_v yet_o just_o account_v as_o absolve_v if_o he_o have_v repent_v in_o his_o hart_n detestable_a therefore_o be_v their_o opinion_n who_o will_v have_v the_o punishment_n which_o they_o call_v satisfactory_a &_o the_o canon_n term_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d to_o be_v meritorious_a &_o satisfactory_a in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o under_o that_o pretence_n have_v for_o the_o most_o part_n make_v that_o purgatory_n fire_n of_o they_o and_o bring_v into_o the_o church_n their_o indulgence_n which_o they_o sell_v for_o money_n be_v so_o many_o blasphemy_n against_o that_o one_o oblation_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n 26_o the_o eldership_n do_v proper_o neither_o bind_v nor_o loose_v for_o this_o be_v the_o proper_a right_n of_o christ_n alone_o but_o it_o do_v only_o apply_v the_o word_n of_o god_n after_o the_o lawful_a trial_n of_o the_o cause_n unto_o the_o sinner_n either_o for_o his_o retain_v or_o release_n upon_o earth_n and_o it_o pronounce_v upon_o earth_n in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o either_o contumacy_n have_v bind_v or_o repentance_n have_v loose_v the_o conscience_n of_o the_o sinner_n before_o the_o lord_n in_o heaven_n neither_o be_v it_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o which_o be_v thus_o do_v upon_o earth_n be_v ratify_v in_o heaven_n frivolous_a therefore_o be_v that_o
