A90729	A full ansvver to a printed paper, entituled, Foure serious questions concerning excommunication, and suspension from the sacrament, &c. 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.

refel_v the_o affirmative_a i_o will_v first_o answer_v your_o question_n then_o consider_v your_o argument_n on_o both_o hand_n to_o your_o question_n than_o i_o say_v 1._o if_o he_o profess_v his_o sincere_a repentance_n etc._n etc._n in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o christ_n the_o minister_n and_o elder_n and_o those_o that_o know_v the_o scandal_n be_v bind_v to_o believe_v that_o he_o do_v sincere_o repent_v none_o ought_v to_o keep_v he_o back_o and_o if_o he_o be_v excommunicate_v he_o ought_v to_o be_v absolve_v and_o receive_v again_o into_o the_o church_n without_o delay_n as_o soon_o as_o such_o repentance_n appear_v 2_o but_o if_o you_o mean_v his_o bare_a say_n so_o much_o without_o further_a sign_n of_o repentance_n or_o only_o such_o sign_n as_o according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o crime_n no_o rational_a man_n can_v say_v it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a proof_n of_o repentance_n the_o case_n be_v otherwise_o foradultery_n or_o incest_n or_o blasphemy_n there_o must_v sure_o be_v such_o a_o sense_n of_o the_o sin_n manifest_v such_o a_o take_a heed_n of_o the_o occasion_n and_o the_o like_a as_o may_v make_v it_o probable_a that_o he_o intend_v to_o keep_v his_o promise_n of_o a_o new_a life_n or_o else_o it_o will_v be_v a_o mere_a mockery_n for_o any_o one_o to_o be_v call_v before_o the_o eldership_n for_o any_o scandal_n for_o a_o word_n shall_v excuse_v and_o acquit_v they_o although_o perhaps_o before_o they_o come_v thither_o they_o tell_v their_o companion_n that_o they_o mean_v not_o to_o keep_v any_o such_o promise_n and_o if_o this_o be_v tell_v to_o the_o eldership_n yet_o they_o must_v take_v his_o single_a and_o bare_a word_n that_o he_o be_v sorry_a for_o those_o speech_n as_o well_o as_o for_o his_o other_o fault_n and_o so_o it_o must_v be_v twenty_o time_n one_o after_o another_o which_o i_o say_v be_v to_o turn_v all_o church_n discipline_n into_o a_o ridiculous_a folly_n and_o a_o harden_v of_o sinner_n rather_o than_o do_v any_o good_a upon_o they_o yet_o for_o this_o you_o seem_v to_o argue_v with_o many_o reason_n 1_o god_n alone_o know_v the_o heart_n and_o who_o be_v he_o ans_fw-fr they_o be_v the_o scripture_n word_n but_o misapply_v in_o this_o case_n 1_o chron_n 6.30_o speak_v of_o a_o man_n secret_a prayer_n to_o god_n not_o of_o prove_v or_o approve_v repentance_n towards_o man_n 2_o tim._n 4.19_o speak_v of_o god_n know_v his_o elect_a and_o not_o at_o all_o that_o man_n be_v not_o to_o judge_v of_o man_n repentance_n rather_o the_o next_o word_n plead_v for_o this_o let_v every_o one_o that_o name_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n depart_v from_o iniquity_n imply_v that_o he_o who_o do_v not_o so_o in_o his_o behaviour_n can_v be_v own_v among_o man_n among_o

depart_v from_o iniquity_n and_o not_o by_o bare_a and_o slight_a word_n only_o will_v you_o in_o the_o forementioned_a case_n of_o the_o wicked_a woman_n have_v take_v a_o few_o word_n as_o a_o

16.5_o to_o 14._o ans_fw-fr you_o seem_v not_o to_o be_v afraid_a of_o judgeing_a those_o worthy_a that_o be_v not_o when_o so_o sleight_v a_o matter_n as_o a_o profession_n of_o repentance_n without_o mention_n of_o any_o figne_n must_v suffice_v to_o count_v they_o worthy_a because_o god_n know_v the_o heart_n not_o minister_n but_o minister_n and_o elder_n be_v to_o judge_v as_o the_o apostle_n direct_v timothy_n 1_o tim._n 5._o somemens_n sin_n be_v manifest_a beforehand_o and_o go_v before_o to_o judgement_n and_o so_o their_o good_a and_o some_o follow_v after_o that_o be_v according_a to_o apparent_a proof_n offer_v itself_o or_o discover_v by_o time_n or_o enquiry_n so_o the_o judgement_n ought_v to_o be_v samuel_n judgeing_a be_v not_o by_o any_o word_n or_o show_v of_o good_a but_o by_o a_o bodily_a comeliness_n and_o it_o be_v a_o peculiar_a office_n that_o hinder_v not_o but_o minister_n and_o elder_n may_v judge_v by_o man_n life_n whether_o they_o be_v worthy_a of_o the_o ordinary_a privilege_n of_o christian_n they_o be_v blameless_a if_o they_o admit_v only_o close_a hypocrite_n because_o god_n only_o can_v judge_v of_o they_o but_o man_n may_v judge_v competent_o of_o man_n be_v haviour_n else_o why_o say_v the_o apostle_n do_v not_o you_o judge_v they_o that_o be_v within_o 1_o cor._n 5.12_o and_o that_o know_a text._n by_o their_o fruiis_fw-la you_o shall_v know_v they_o and_o if_o they_o judge_v by_o proof_n and_o token_n and_o fruit_n of_o repentance_n according_a to_o the_o word_n they_o will_v hardly_o judge_v any_o unworthy_a who_o be_v not_o though_o this_o be_v the_o great_a fear_n allege_v against_o they_o 3._o you_o say_v god_n can_v fudden_o change_v the_o heart_n in_o a_o moment_n before_o a_o minister_n can_v take_v notice_n of_o it_o act._n 9.3_o to_o 28._o a._n god_n can_v but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o your_o purpose_n by_o this_o argument_n there_o need_v not_o judge_n with_o the_o elder_n of_o

can_v take_v notice_n of_o it_o and_o your_o instance_n of_o saul_n paul_n conversion_n clear_v it_o indeed_o there_o be_v no_o minister_n by_o when_o he_o be_v strike_v down_o but_o when_o christ_n send_v ananias_n to_o he_o after_o a_o second_o charge_n to_o go_v he_o be_v fain_o to_o avouch_v he_o a_o choose_a vessel_n and_o after_o that_o the_o church_n at_o jerusalem_n dare_v not_o own_v he_o till_o barnabas_n bring_v he_o to_o the_o apostle_n and_o bare_a witness_n that_o he_o have_v preach_v christ_n at_o damascus_n and_o when_o sinner_n express_v any_o sign_n of_o repentance_n like_o this_o though_o they_o be_v convert_v before_o any_o take_v notice_n of_o it_o blame_v they_o that_o refuse_v they_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o pray_v give_v leave_n to_o minister_n the_o steward_n of_o christ_n mystery_n of_o who_o it_o be_v require_v that_o they_o be_v find_v faithful_a that_o they_o be_v so_o jealous_a over_o christian_n with_o a_o godly_a jealousy_n and_o
