he_o say_v that_o sacrament_n be_v strong_a meat_n which_o weak_a christian_n be_v not_o able_a to_o digest_v and_o that_o they_o be_v seal_n of_o faith_n only_o he_o deny_v the_o sacrament_n to_o

quotation_n and_o argument_n for_o that_o which_o he_o call_v a_o juridical_a suspension_n from_o the_o lord_n supper_n the_o main_a subject_n of_o his_o late_a book_n belove_a friend_n i_o be_o sorry_a that_o our_o author_n shall_v take_v such_o a_o deal_n of_o pain_n to_o make_v good_a that_o thing_n that_o have_v and_o do_v so_o much_o trouble_v and_o hinder_v the_o edification_n and_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n and_o have_v be_v the_o occasion_n of_o the_o extirpation_n of_o the_o church_n discipline_n and_o the_o main_a impediment_n of_o a_o establishment_n of_o discipline_n at_o the_o present_a and_o how_o impossible_a it_o be_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n shall_v be_v preserve_v and_o secure_v in_o a_o church_n state_n from_o the_o common_a reproach_n of_o adversary_n upon_o his_o principle_n let_v they_o that_o be_v sober_a judge_n when_o himself_o be_v equal_v the_o most_o of_o her_o member_n to_o the_o infidel_n world_n disoblige_v they_o from_o duty_n of_o institute_v worship_n and_o observance_n under_o this_o pretence_n that_o they_o be_v unbeliever_n and_o no_o disciple_n nor_o brethren_n that_o be_v within_o and_o hence_o he_o will_v allow_v they_o just_a as_o much_o privilege_n in_o the_o church_n as_o he_o do_v unto_o pagan_n except_o baptise_v their_o infant_n which_o he_o will_v hardly_o do_v upon_o their_o own_o parent_n faith_n but_o upon_o their_o remote_a predecessor_n and_o thus_o he_o make_v a_o great_a stir_n about_o suspension_n from_o the_o sacrament_n and_o by_o this_o groundless_a censure_n do_v hinder_v or_o make_v invalid_a other_o necessary_a command_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o the_o great_a prejudice_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n as_o namely_o the_o benefit_n of_o god_n ordinance_n of_o

further_a to_o answer_v to_o what_o i_o can_v find_v urge_v against_o the_o friend_n of_o my_o judgement_n that_o have_v not_o as_o yet_o be_v speak_v unto_o as_o may_v satisfy_v the_o plain_a mind_a christian_a that_o be_v not_o able_a to_o unravel_v so_o many_o subtle_a needless_a syllogism_n that_o mr._n collins_n abound_v with_o in_o his_o elaborate_a book_n but_o i_o intend_v brevity_n and_o therefore_o expect_v not_o my_o answer_n unto_o every_o thing_n but_o to_o his_o main_a ground_n he_o have_v lay_v for_o suspension_n in_o state_v of_o the_o question_n mr._n collins_n say_v 1._o as_o to_o suspend_v of_o some_o person_n from_o the_o supper_n he_o mean_v no_o more_o than_o a_o denial_n of_o that_o ordinance_n from_o some_o pag._n 1._o 2._o he_o distinguish_v of_o suspension_n to_o be_v either_o juridical_a or_o pastoral_n positive_a or_o primitive_a 3._o of_o a_o presbytere_v church_n he_o say_v they_o find_v some_o of_o their_o member_n gross_o ignorant_a or_o seandalous_a not_o excommunicate_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v to_o warn_v they_o to_o forbear_v come_v to_o the_o lord_n table_n for_o a_o time_n and_o if_o they_o press_v in_o to_o deny_v it_o they_o declare_v the_o church_n have_v no_o communion_n with_o they_o pag._n 3._o i_o shall_v speak_v unto_o that_o suspension_n he_o call_v juridical_a and_o positive_a only_o answ_n 1_o for_o if_o i_o can_v break_v he_o in_o the_o proof_n of_o that_o his_o other_z will_v appear_v to_o be_v a_o dream_n but_o to_o the_o question_n 1._o he_o say_v they_o mean_v no_o more_o by_o suspension_n then_o a_o denial_n of_o that_o ordinance_n of_o the_o supper_n from_o they_o for_o a_o time_n then_o 2._o in_o case_n they_o will_v come_v to_o deny_v it_o they_o declare_v the_o church_n have_v no_o communion_n with_o they_o here_o you_o may_v take_v notice_n how_o clear_a mr._n collins_n be_v in_o state_v the_o question_n 1._o he_o make_v suspension_n no_o more_o but_o a_o denial_n of_o the_o sacrament_n from_o some_o for_o a_o time_n and_o then_o second_o the_o church_n declare_v they_o have_v no_o communion_n with_o they_o so_o that_o he_o in_o state_v the_o question_n lay_v foundation_n for_o a_o suspension_n and_o excommunication_n both_o for_o if_o excommunidation_n consist_v not_o in_o put_v out_o of_o all_o church_n communion_n i_o know_v not_o what_o it_o be_v he_o so_o confound_v these_o that_o i_o know_v not_o how_o to_o take_v he_o and_o therefore_o i_o must_v query_n he_o a_o little_a further_o about_o the_o question_n state_v i_o query_n whether_o a_o minister_n with_o his_o parochial_a lay_v elder_n be_v a_o presbytery_n that_o can_v saspend_v their_o member_n juridical_o i_o judge_v this_o but_o the_o same_o with_o a_o pastor_n deny_v the_o sacrament_n at_o his_o private_a will_n and_o pleasure_n such_o elder_n have_v no_o more_o to_o do_v with_o the_o exercise_n of_o discipline_n then_o with_o the_o administration_n of_o all_o public_a worship_n they_o

that_o all_o shall_v bear_v a_o share_n in_o the_o exercise_n of_o church_n censure_n and_o policy_n i_o confess_v i_o judge_v that_o not_o any_o minister_n in_o the_o church_n can_v just_o assume_v
