A91415	The Jewes synagogue: or, A treatise concerning the ancient orders and manner of worship used by the Jewes in their synagogue-assemblies. Gathered out of the sacred scriptures, the Jewish Rabines, and such modern authors, which have been most conversant in the study of Jewish customes. Wherein, by comparing the scriptures in the Old and New Testament together, many truths are fully opened, and sundry controversies about church-government truly and plainly stated. By William Pinchion of Springfeild [sic] in N. England.	Pynchon, William, 1590-1662.	1652 (1652)	Wing P4309; Thomason E802_4; ESTC R207368	80,705	99

already_o scholar_n i_o can_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o new_a testament_n may_v as_o well_o borrow_v its_o disoipline_n term_n from_o their_o synagogue_n discipline_n as_o it_o do_v other_o term_n from_o their_o record_n but_o i_o do_v much_o wonder_n why_o the_o apostle_n shall_v write_v to_o heathen_a christian_n after_o the_o jew_n peculiar_a vein_n see_v such_o christian_n of_o the_o heathen_n may_v be_v as_o much_o to_o seek_v in_o their_o talmudical_a phrase_n as_o we_o be_v at_o this_o day_n teacher_n i_o think_v not_o so_o for_o i_o conceive_v that_o many_o heathen_a christian_n be_v first_o well_o instruct_v and_o breed_v up_o with_o the_o jew_n in_o their_o synagogue_n in_o all_o part_n of_o their_o dispersion_n and_o heathen_a christian_n and_o convert_a jew_n be_v conjoin_v together_o in_o all_o christian_a church_n as_o peter_n and_o james_n do_v testify_v in_o their_o several_a epistle_n therefore_o the_o heathen_a christian_n in_o those_o part_n may_v be_v better_o acquaint_v with_o their_o talmudical_a phrase_n than_o we_o can_v be_v at_o this_o day_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n may_v well_o garnish_v their_o sermon_n and_o epistle_n with_o several_a phrase_n from_o the_o ancient_a hebrew_n doctor_n as_o well_o as_o from_o their_o heathen_a writer_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v every_o nation_n under_o heaven_n may_v see_v a_o sweet_a accord_n between_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o their_o best_a writer_n chap._n ii_o that_o the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v institute_v by_o jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v 1._o dependent_a when_o they_o live_v together_o in_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n 2._o independent_a when_o they_o inhabit_v in_o heathen_a country_n scholar_n be_v the_o jew_n synagogue_n

scholar_n this_o be_v a_o strong_a answer_n do_v jesus_n christ_n establish_v such_o a_o different_a order_n in_o the_o administration_n of_o their_o synagogue-discipline_n this_o tenent_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o judgement_n of_o many_o learned_a writer_n for_o those_o that_o be_v for_o dependent_a church-government_n do_v affirm_v that_o way_n of_o government_n to_o be_v the_o only_a way_n that_o christ_n have_v establish_v for_o ever_o in_o all_o particular_a church_n on_o the_o contrary_a those_o that_o be_v for_o independent_a church-government_n do_v affirm_v their_o way_n be_v the_o only_a way_n that_o christ_n have_v ordain_v for_o ever_o in_o all_o particular_a church_n both_o side_n be_v confident_a of_o their_o way_n to_o be_v the_o only_a way_n therefore_o one_o of_o these_o two_o way_n must_v needs_o fall_v to_o the_o ground_n as_o not_o be_v the_o only_a way_n of_o christ_n how_o then_o say_v you_o that_o the_o jew_n synagogue-discipline_n be_v sometime_o dependent_a and_o sometime_o independent_a do_v christ_n allow_v of_o both_o these_o way_n of_o government_n teacher_n yea_o christ_n allow_v of_o both_o these_o way_n of_o government_n independent_a the_o jew_n synagogue_n discipline_n be_v sometime_o dependent_a and_o sometime_o independent_a because_o he_o do_v put_v his_o synagogue_n into_o several_a capacity_n by_o difference_n of_o place_n and_o case_n therefore_o the_o word_n only_a aught_o not_o to_o state_n the_o case_n as_o for_o example_n while_o the_o jew_n live_v in_o their_o own_o land_n their_o synagogue_n discipline_n do_v depend_v upon_o their_o sanhedrin_n court_n because_o christ_n establish_v the_o elder_n of_o their_o sanhedrin_n court_n as_o the_o general_a elder_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n 2._o but_o when_o the_o jew_n be_v disperse_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n into_o sundry_a heathen_a country_n than_o jesus_n christ_n do_v necessitate_v they_o limb_n in_o heathen_a country_n every_o synagogue_n have_v a_o general_a licence_n to_o exercise_v such_o a_o discipline_n among_o themselves_o as_o tend_v to_o the_o correction_n of_o vice_n except_o life_n and_o limb_n something_o to_o vary_v the_o form_n of_o their_o synagogues-discipline_n because_o they_o have_v no_o sanhedrin_n court_n in_o those_o heathen_a country_n to_o depend_v upon_o therefore_o in_o those_o country_n the_o elder_n of_o each_o synagogue_n do_v keep_v a_o court_n or_o consistory_n in_o each_o synagogue_n for_o the_o correction_n of_o manner_n and_o this_o power_n of_o discipline_n be_v allow_v to_o they_o by_o the_o

priest_n do_v send_v paul_n with_o letter_n unto_o the_o elder_n of_o every_o synagogue_n to_o imprison_v ●nd_v to_o beat_v such_o in_o every_o synagogue_n as_o embrace_v the_o holy_a way_n of_o the_o
