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

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

whereby_o they_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v that_o we_o can_v have_v no_o use_n of_o the_o magistracy_n because_o we_o acknowledge_v jesus_n christ_n for_o our_o lord_n and_o king_n by_o who_o spirit_n we_o be_v lead_v whereas_o the_o inward_a power_n which_o the_o lord_n exercise_v by_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o spirit_n in_o the_o conscience_n of_o his_o child_n do_v not_o only_o exclude_v that_o outward_a dominion_n which_o belong_v unto_o the_o magistrate_n as_o unto_o god_n livetenaunt_n but_o do_v establish_v the_o same_o 5_o we_o affirm_v that_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o magistrate_n do_v extend_v itself_o unto_o both_o the_o table_n of_o god_n law_n or_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o provide_v that_o their_o subject_n may_v not_o only_o live_v peaceable_o but_o also_o religious_o but_o in_o a_o diverse_a respect_n and_o manner_n 6_o for_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o first_o table_n it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o the_o magistrate_n to_o invent_v any_o law_n touch_v religion_n but_o their_o duty_n be_v to_o see_v that_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v understand_v and_o practise_v by_o their_o subject_n as_o it_o be_v full_o set_v down_o in_o the_o sacred_a book_n of_o both_o the_o testament_n which_o have_v be_v write_v by_o the_o apostle_n prophet_n and_o evangelist_n 7_o the_o magistrate_n also_o be_v bind_v if_o necessity_n so_o require_v to_o compel_v such_o as_o be_v in_o the_o ecclesiastical_a function_n unto_o the_o godly_a and_o careful_a performance_n of_o their_o duty_n &_o they_o be_v much_o more_o bind_v to_o

of_o the_o gospel_n together_o with_o those_o who_o will_v not_o suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v call_v into_o the_o right_a way_n by_o the_o censure_n of_o the_o church_n 8_o and_o if_o any_o controversy_n do_v arise_v concern_v the_o truth_n of_o doctrine_n unto_o the_o appease_n whereof_o a_o extraordinary_a meeting_n of_o the_o pastor_n &_o the_o doctor_n of_o the_o church_n seem_v needful_a it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o magistrate_n to_o call_v a_o synod_n to_o gather_v the_o minister_n together_o thereunto_o and_o to_o see_v that_o the_o whole_a controversy_n be_v decide_v according_a to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o be_v decide_v that_o it_o be_v extinguish_v and_o utterlie_o put_v out_o the_o pope_n therefore_o do_v thrust_v his_o sickle_n unto_o other_o man_n

the_o commonwealth_n require_v to_o be_v punish_v 11_o hence_o also_o we_o understand_v that_o when_o necessity_n so_o compel_v they_o and_o when_o they_o can_v otherwise_o defend_v the_o dominion_n commit_v unto_o their_o government_n they_o may_v lawful_o proclaim_v war_n both_o that_o they_o may_v thereby_o keep_v under_o the_o seditious_a practice_n of_o the_o unbrideled_a domestical_a
