another_o mistake_n to_o suppose_v that_o there_o be_v no_o excommunication_n but_o in_o give_v the_o offender_n over_o to_o satan_n that_o be_v indeed_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o excommunication_n but_o not_o all_o the_o degree_n of_o it_o for_o there_o be_v another_o less_o and_o inferior_a viz._n in_o separate_v he_o from_o ecclesiastical_a communion_n and_o so_o it_o be_v yet_o another_o mistake_n in_o you_o to_o think_v that_o in_o declare_v your_o non-communion_n with_o other_o church_n you_o do_v not_o excommunicate_v they_o for_o what_o be_v excommunication_n but_o a_o privation_n of_o communion_n the_o very_a word_n itself_o teach_v we_o all_o this_o 6._o if_o any_o such_o case_n shall_v extraordinary_o fall_v out_o how_o can_v it_o be_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o particular_a church_n offend_v may_v be_v excommunicate_v by_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o church_n offend_v if_o the_o offence_n shall_v deserve_v it_o 1._o for_o we_o find_v nothing_o in_o scripture_n to_o the_o contrary_n 2._o for_o there_o be_v the_o same_o reason_n for_o the_o excommunication_n of_o whole_a church_n as_o of_o particular_a person_n viz._n the_o take_v away_o of_o scandal_n and_o the_o conversion_n of_o the_o sinner_n 1_o cor._n 5.5_o 2_o cor._n 2.7_o 2_o thes_n 3.14_o 1_o tim._n 1.20_o and_o that_o such_o a_o contagion_n infect_v not_o other_o 1_o cor._n 5_o 6_o 7._o and_o if_o a_o particular_a man_n may_v be_v excommunicate_v for_o deny_v and_o blaspheme_v of_o christ_n wherefore_o shall_v not_o a_o particular_a church_n be_v excommunicate_v for_o the_o like_a sin_n neither_o can_v their_o number_n and_o consociation_n excuse_v they_o but_o rather_o aggravate_v the_o sin_n for_o the_o more_o offender_n there_o be_v the_o great_a be_v the_o offence_n and_o the_o great_a shall_v the_o punishment_n be_v 3._o if_o a_o church_n compound_v of_o ten_o person_n may_v excommunicate_v four_o of_o their_o own_o number_n wherefore_o also_o may_v not_o ten_o thousand_o church_n excommunicate_v this_o inconsiderable_a church_n compound_v of_o ten_o person_n for_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o it_o excommunicate_v four_o person_n have_v god_n give_v more_o power_n to_o ten_o person_n over_o four_o then_o to_o all_o the_o person_n and_o church_n in_o the_o kingdom_n yea_o in_o all_o the_o christian_a world_n over_o these_o miserable_a and_o wretched_a person_n who_o it_o may_v be_v deny_v the_o trinity_n the_o incarnation_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o maintain_v all_o sort_n of_o impiety_n 4._o if_o god_n in_o heaven_n and_o in_o his_o scripture_n declare_v a_o church_n excommunicate_v wherefore_o shall_v not_o his_o church_n upon_o earth_n also_o declare_v it_o excommunicate_v when_o they_o learn_v it_o in_o his_o word_n be_v not_o the_o church_n of_o god_n as_o well_o bind_v to_o ratify_v his_o sentence_n here_o upon_o earth_n as_o he_o to_o ratify_v they_o in_o heaven_n 5._o we_o have_v some_o example_n of_o it_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n for_o the_o people_n of_o god_n say_v some_o of_o our_o divine_n excommunicate_v amalck_n for_o proof_n whereof_o they_o bring_v the_o targum_fw-la cant._n 2._o contriverunt_fw-la amalek_n per_fw-la diram_fw-la imprecationem_fw-la they_o bruise_v amalek_n by_o the_o fearful_a curse_v of_o the_o lord_n so_o do_v they_o the_o samaritan_n because_o of_o the_o build_n of_o their_o temple_n upon_o the_o mount_n garizim_n they_o bring_v as_o drusius_n and_o after_o he_o weemse_n relate_v it_o 300_o priest_n 300_o trumpet_n 300_o book_n of_o the_o law_n and_o 300_o boy_n they_o blow_v with_o trumpet_n and_o the_o levite_n sing_v accurse_a the_o cutthaans_n in_o the_o name_n of_o totragammaton_fw-gr or_o jehova_n and_o with_o curse_n both_o the_o superior_a and_o inferior_a house_n of_o judgement_n and_o they_o say_v curse_a be_v be_v who_o cate_v the_o bread_n of_o the_o cutthaean_a these_o curse_n they_o write_v upon_o table_n and_o seal_v they_o and_o send_v they_o through_o all_o israel_n who_o multiply_v also_o this_o great_a anathema_n upon_o they_o from_o whence_o proceed_v a_o great_a hatred_n betwixt_o they_o as_o we_o read_v in_o the_o gospel_n if_o in_o virtue_n of_o a_o small_a offence_n one_o church_n may_v pronounce_v that_o dreadful_a sentence_n of_o non-communion_n against_o many_o church_n wherefore_o may_v not_o many_o church_n pronounce_v sentence_n of_o great_a excommunication_n against_o one_o small_a church_n for_o a_o great_a sin_n since_o crescentibus_fw-la delictis_fw-la crescunt_fw-la poenae_fw-la beside_o all_o this_o i_o deny_v the_o consequence_n for_o howbeit_o god_n have_v not_o ordain_v excommunication_n viz._n the_o great_a which_o here_o you_o understand_v yet_o may_v there_o be_v some_o other_o remedy_n find_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n but_o you_o add_v p._n 18._o that_o your_o sentence_n of_o non-communication_n will_v be_v as_o effectual_a as_o the_o great_a excommunication_n this_o can_v be_v 1._o because_o if_o the_o offender_n have_v any_o grace_n the_o great_a will_v terrify_v he_o more_o 2._o because_o in_o your_o way_n the_o sentence_n may_v seem_v unjust_a in_o punish_v all_o offence_n and_o offender_n great_a and_o small_a with_o the_o like_a spiritual_a penalty_n 3._o your_o way_n can_v so_o well_o awe_v church_n and_o keep_v they_o in_o their_o duty_n for_o since_o you_o attribute_v no_o authoritative_a power_n or_o authority_n to_o all_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n over_o any_o particular_a church_n but_o judge_v they_o all_o to_o be_v equal_a among_o themselves_o and_o one_o to_o all_o as_o if_o a_o part_n be_v equal_a to_o its_o total_a and_o pars_fw-la esset_fw-la aequalis_fw-la toti_n &_o totum_fw-la non_fw-la esset_fw-la majus_fw-la quilibet_fw-la suâ_fw-la parte_fw-la as_o if_o the_o part_n be_v equal_a to_o its_o whole_a and_o the_o whole_a be_v no_o great_a than_o its_o part_n viz._n a_o whole_a man_n body_n then_o his_o toe_n a_o particular_a church_n may_v think_v herself_o no_o way_n bind_v to_o obey_v any_o other_o church_n or_o church_n and_o much_o less_o will_n ten_o church_n think_v themselves_o bind_v to_o obey_v one_o for_o obediecce_n be_v a_o virtue_n in_o inferior_n towards_o their_o superior_n but_o if_o all_o church_n be_v equal_a there_o can_v neither_o be_v superior_n nor_o inferior_n and_o consequent_o no_o obedience_n or_o disobedience_n 4._o if_o a_o particular_a church_n in_o your_o way_n desire_v to_o be_v obey_v by_o forty_o church_n pretend_v herself_o to_o be_v offend_v by_o their_o proceed_n they_o may_v think_v her_o bold_a in_o call_v they_o to_o a_o account_n and_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o prophet_n shall_v be_v subject_a to_o prophet_n one_o rather_o to_o twenty_o or_o two_o thousand_o than_o twenty_o or_o two_o thousand_o to_o one_o 5._o in_o our_o way_n a_o church_n offend_v may_v esteem_v her_o offence_n great_a and_o fear_v it_o more_o since_o she_o may_v judge_v herself_o to_o offend_v two_o authority_n 1._o that_o of_o god_n and_o 2._o that_o which_o he_o have_v give_v unto_o the_o church_n but_o in_o you_o she_o can_v think_v her_o offence_n so_o great_a since_o she_o conceive_v herself_o to_o offend_v one_o authority_n or_o authoritative_a power_n only_o viz._n that_o of_o god_n for_o you_o acknowledge_v no_o authoritative_a power_n in_o the_o church_n or_o church_n and_o so_o your_o way_n breed_v a_o plain_a contempt_n of_o all_o church_n authority_n 6._o in_o deny_v a_o authoritative_a power_n the_o offender_n may_v think_v you_o too_o busy_a body_n in_o intermeddle_v yourselves_o with_o other_o folk_n matter_n which_o concern_v you_o not_o so_o much_o whereas_o if_o you_o grant_v a_o authoritative_a power_n unto_o she_o it_o shall_v be_v she_o own_o proper_a business_n in_o virtue_n of_o her_o authoritative_a power_n receive_v from_o god_n so_o also_o our_o way_n be_v more_o efficacious_a in_o the_o church_n offend_v 1._o in_o breed_v a_o great_a detestation_n of_o sin_n 2._o in_o make_v they_o to_o shun_v and_o avoid_v more_o the_o company_n of_o the_o offender_n 3._o in_o make_v they_o to_o conceive_v the_o sentence_n to_o be_v more_o just_a etc._n etc._n item_n if_o this_o your_o way_n be_v as_o efficacious_a you_o need_v no_o other_o power_n in_o your_o particular_a congregation_n over_o particular_a person_n a_o simple_a admonition_n without_o any_o authoritative_a power_n may_v suffice_v you_o you_o yet_o say_v that_o your_o way_n be_v more_o brotherly_a in_o proceed_v without_o a_o authoritative_a power_n answ_n god_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n ordain_v a_o authoritative_a power_n in_o the_o church_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v all_o brethren_n and_o he_o know_v well_o enough_o what_o power_n be_v convenient_a for_o brethren_n 2._o so_o likewise_o in_o particular_a congregation_n we_o be_v all_o brethren_n neither_o yet_o will_v you_o banish_v out_o of_o they_o all_o
