the_o sacrament_n or_o the_o condition_n which_o must_v be_v observe_v in_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n require_v repentance_n therefore_o they_o who_o show_v not_o repentance_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v admit_v this_o argument_n follow_v by_o a_o counterposition_n they_o which_o have_v repentance_n &_o faith_n be_v to_o be_v admit_v therefore_o they_o which_o have_v not_o repentance_n &_o faith_n be_v not_o to_o be_v admit_v 4_o how_o the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n differ_v from_o the_o civil_a power_n 1_o the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n commit_v unto_o the_o church_n depend_v on_o god_n word_n the_o civil_a power_n be_v arm_v with_o the_o sword_n 2_o in_o the_o church_n judgement_n proceed_v according_a to_o god_n law_n in_o the_o civil_a state_n judgement_n be_v exercise_v according_a to_o civil_a law_n 3_o the_o church_n punish_v the_o obstinate_a with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n only_o yet_o so_o as_o that_o this_o punishment_n pierce_v even_o unto_o their_o conscience_n the_o civil_a state_n punish_v the_o obstinate_a only_o with_o corporal_a punishment_n the_o church_n punish_v with_o the_o word_n when_o it_o denounce_v the_o anger_n and_o wrath_n of_o god_n against_o infidel_n and_o unrepentant_a person_n 4_o oftentimes_o the_o discipline_n of_o the_o church_n have_v place_n where_o there_o be_v no_o place_n for_o civil_a judgement_n as_o when_o the_o church_n cast_v out_o of_o her_o congregation_n the_o impenitent_a and_o account_v they_o no_o more_o for_o her_o member_n and_o contrariwise_o the_o civil_a government_n oft_o time_n have_v place_n where_o there_o be_v no_o place_n leave_v for_o church_n discipline_n as_o when_o the_o magistrate_n punish_v adulterer_n robber_n thief_n with_o death_n and_o do_v no_o more_o reckon_v they_o for_o member_n of_o the_o common_a wealth_n whether_o they_o repent_v or_o continue_v obstinate_a who_o yet_o the_o church_n assoon_o as_o they_o repent_v and_o she_o receive_v they_o be_v bind_v to_o hold_v for_o her_o member_n 5_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n have_v degree_n of_o admonition_n for_o first_o repentance_n must_v be_v seek_v for_o before_o they_o come_v to_o punishment_n but_o the_o civil_a judgement_n proceed_v to_o punishment_n whether_o he_o which_o sin_v promise_v repentance_n or_o continue_v unrepentant_a 6_o the_o end_n and_o purpose_n of_o the_o church_n be_v that_o he_o which_o have_v offend_v shall_v repent_v and_o be_v save_v for_o ever_o the_o end_n and_o purpose_n of_o the_o magistrate_n be_v that_o the_o offender_n be_v punish_v and_o so_o peace_n and_o external_a order_n and_o discipline_n be_v maintain_v in_o the_o commonwealth_n 7_o the_o church_n be_v bind_v to_o reverse_v and_o retract_v her_o judgement_n and_o punishment_n if_o there_o come_v repentance_n but_o the_o magistrate_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o recall_v his_o judgement_n and_o punishment_n neither_o be_v he_o able_a sometime_o to_o recall_v it_o wherefore_o the_o difference_n be_v apparent_a and_o manifest_a of_o the_o civil_a and_o ecclesiastical_a power_n or_o the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n deliver_v by_o christ_n unto_o the_o church_n and_o this_o power_n may_v easy_o stand_v and_o consist_v without_o that_o for_o the_o church_n acknowlege_v he_o for_o her_o member_n who_o the_o magistrate_n do_v not_o acknowledge_v nor_o suffer_v 5_o what_o order_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v in_o exercise_v the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n when_o a_o man_n have_v commit_v some_o private_a trespass_n he_o must_v first_o be_v courteous_o admonish_v by_o one_o according_a to_o the_o commandment_n of_o christ_n mat._n 18.15_o if_o thy_o brother_n trespass_n against_o thou_o go_v and_o tell_v he_o his_o fault_n between_o thou_o and_o he_o alone_o if_o he_o hear_v thou_o thou_o have_v win_v thy_o brother_n moreover_o if_o be_v admonish_v by_o one_o he_o do_v not_o yet_o repent_v he_o must_v be_v again_o private_o admonish_v by_o thou_o take_v one_o or_o two_o with_o thou_o and_o such_o admonition_n must_v be_v do_v according_a to_o god_n word_n and_o with_o signification_n of_o goodwill_n towards_o the_o offender_n and_o that_o not_o but_o for_o cause_n just_a weighty_a &_o necessary_a and_o if_o neither_o so_o admonish_v by_o one_o or_o two_o he_o repent_v he_o be_v to_o be_v correct_v by_o the_o whole_a church_n which_o also_o christ_n have_v command_v if_o he_o will_v not_o vouchsafe_v to_o hear_v they_o tell_v it_o unto_o the_o church_n now_o if_o a_o man_n transgress_v public_o by_o offend_v of_o the_o whole_a
