A84062	The nullity of church-censures: or A dispute written by that illustrious philosopher, expert physician, and pious divine Dr Thomas Erastus, publick professor in the University of Heidelbertge, and Basil. Wherein is proved by the holy Scriptures, and sound reason; that excommunication, and church-senates or members, exercising the same, are not of divine institution; but a meere humane invention.	Erastus, Thomas, 1542-1583.	1659 (1659)	Wing E3217; Thomason E1783_2; ESTC R209663	63,863	128

and_o to_o believe_v right_o concern_v that_o doctrine_n from_o our_o sacrament_n which_o only_o differ_v from_o they_o of_o old_a in_o the_o sign_n and_o time_n signify_v for_o they_o do_v not_o in_o

than_o they_o do_v before_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o chief_a of_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o place_n new_o cite_v do_v witness_n for_o they_o only_o suffer_v the_o nation_n to_o live_v without_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n and_o not_o the_o convert_a jew_n which_o be_v diligent_o to_o be_v observe_v here_o because_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o follow_v and_o as_o far_o as_o concern_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o doctrine_n they_o teach_v nothing_o which_o be_v different_a from_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n for_o if_o they_o have_v teach_v otherwise_o their_o doctrine_n have_v

of_o the_o lord_n supper_n they_o testify_v themselves_o to_o be_v member_n of_o christ_n mystical_a body_n xxxiv_o next_o in_o the_o ten_o chapter_n paul_n reason_v thus_o as_o in_o old_a time_n the_o lord_n do_v not_o spare_v those_o that_o covet_v evil_a thing_n nor_o idolater_n nor_o whoremonger_n nor_o tempter_n and_o murmurer_n against_o christ_n although_o they_o be_v baptise_v with_o the_o same_o baptism_n with_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o do_v eat_v the_o same_o spiritual_a food_n and_o drink_v the_o same_o spiritual_a drink_n so_o neither_o will_v he_o spare_v any_o of_o you_o whatsoever_o which_o be_v defile_v with_o the_o same_o sin_n although_o you_o eat_v all_o of_o the_o same_o bread_n and_o drink_v all_o of_o the_o same_o cup_n with_o all_o the_o saint_n by_o these_o it_o be_v perceive_v first_o that_o our_o sacrament_n and_o those_o of_o the_o ancient_n be_v the_o same_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o thing_n internal_a and_o heavenly_a otherwise_o the_o argument_n of_o the_o apostle_n will_v be_v of_o no_o effect_n next_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o many_o corrupt_a person_n and_o that_o public_o know_v to_o be_v such_o be_v admit_v three_o this_o be_v likewise_o certain_a that_o not_o any_o be_v command_v to_o forbear_v as_o excommunicate_a person_n be_v command_v the_o apostle_n do_v not_o say_v that_o such_o be_v to_o be_v keep_v back_o but_o he_o foretell_v that_o they_o will_v be_v punish_v by_o god_n so_o as_o the_o ancient_n be_v punish_v for_o moses_n together_o with_o the_o levite_n do_v kill_v a_o part_n of_o they_o 32._o and_o the_o lord_n do_v consume_v another_o part_n with_o fire_n serpent_n with_o the_o sword_n and_o with_o the_o open_n up_o of_o the_o earth_n which_o also_o happen_v unto_o the_o corinthian_n for_o he_o affirm_v that_o many_o of_o they_o then_o be_v sick_a and_o many_o of_o they_o dead_a xxxv_o in_o the_o follow_a chapter_n he_o command_v neither_o the_o contentious_a person_n and_o sectary_n neither_o they_o that_o be_v make_v drink_v in_o the_o very_a celebration_n of_o the_o supper_n itself_o nor_o they_o that_o be_v pollute_v with_o other_o sin_n to_o be_v keep_v back_o from_o the_o use_n thereof_o indeed_o he_o do_v not_o mention_n so_o much_o as_o in_o one_o word_n this_o interdiction_n when_o as_o he_o correct_v far_o less_o fault_n as_o that_o every_o one_o shall_v eat_v at_o home_n how_o can_v he_o in_o this_o place_n not_o have_v mention_v this_o matter_n if_o he_o have_v approve_v thereof_o or_o think_v it_o necessary_a in_o the_o church_n the_o apostle_n know_v the_o law_n command_v otherwise_o and_o that_o there_o be_v another_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n in_o the_o church_n then_o that_o by_o their_o denial_n corruptness_n in_o life_n shall_v be_v punish_v therefore_o he_o command_v that_o every_o one_o shall_v examine_v himself_o but_o he_o do_v not_o command_v that_o they_o shall_v examine_v and_o approve_v of_o one_o another_o he_o moreover_o exhort_v they_o all_o that_o they_o shall_v strive_v to_o eat_v worthy_o lest_o any_o shall_v eat_v judgement_n to_o themselves_o he_o do_v not_o command_v they_o that_o eat_v unworthy_o to_o be_v keep_v back_o therefrom_o but_o he_o threaten_v they_o with_o the_o lord_n chastisement_n he_o divide_v the_o general_a sort_n of_o eater_n into_o two_o kind_n by_o their_o opposite_a difference_n to_o wit_n in_o they_o that_o eat_v worthy_o and_o they_o that_o eat_v unworthy_o he_o command_v neither_o of_o they_o not_o to_o eat_v but_o he_o desire_v that_o all_o shall_v eat_v worthy_o xxxvi_o afterward_o in_o the_o second_o epistle_n chapter_n 12_o and_o 13._o he_o do_v not_o threaten_v they_o which_o after_o his_o admonition_n have_v not_o repent_v they_o of_o the_o impurity_n lust_n and_o licentiousness_n which_o they_o have_v commit_v with_o a_o removal_n from_o the_o lord_n table_n but_o by_o the_o authority_n and_o power_n which_o be_v give_v he_o of_o god_n he_o show_v that_o he_o will_v severe_o and_o rigorous_o punish_v they_o which_o in_o his_o own_o writeing_n he_o do_v verify_v oft_o but_o he_o no_o where_n tell_v they_o of_o the_o debar_v from_o the_o sacrament_n which_o be_v the_o question_n in_o hand_n neither_o do_v he_o command_v the_o elder_n or_o any_o other_o to_o do_v this_o but_o if_o he_o will_v have_v have_v the_o wicked_a punish_v after_o this_o manner_n he_o shall_v have_v command_v they_o to_o be_v remove_v from_o the_o sacrament_n till_o they_o amend_v chief_o see_v he_o have_v appoint_v elder_n in_o the_o same_o church_n before_o 1_o

by_o moses_n to_o eat_v the_o paschall_n without_o leaven_n which_o st_n paul_n interpret_v to_o be_v without_o corruptness_n of_o life_n 1_o gor._n 5._o it_o must_v then_o seem_v unto_o any_o man_n

indeed_o it_o be_v very_o unlikely_a that_o god_n shall_v command_v any_o thing_n in_o clear_a word_n and_o yet_o at_o the_o same_o time_n shall_v again_o forbid_v the_o same_o figurative_o he_o command_v clear_o in_o a_o mandate_n sometime_o repeat_v that_o every_o male_n except_o these_o that_o be_v unclean_a and_o be_v on_o the_o way_n shall_v celebrate_v the_o passover_n he_o will_v not_o then_o by_o the_o figure_n of_o leaven_n affright_v any_o other_o therefrom_o there_o be_v then_o enough_o of_o evil_a man_n present_v that_o it_o be_v not_o needful_a they_o shall_v be_v figure_v by_o leaven_n neither_o do_v the_o wicked_a man_n less_o appear_v to_o the_o sense_n than_o leaven_n itself_o wherefore_o see_v figure_n be_v not_o propose_v of_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v present_a and_o that_o as_o full_o represent_v themselves_o to_o the_o sense_n chief_a if_o the_o thing_n figure_v be_v more_o know_v and_o frequent_v they_o the_o figure_n themselves_o a_o figure_n here_o be_v

wicked_a man_n be_v not_o to_o be_v debar_v from_o the_o supper_n but_o be_v to_o be_v put_v to_o death_n which_o consequence_n i_o shall_v not_o unfree_o admit_v and_o i_o hearty_o wish_v it_o may_v be_v do_v for_o i_o desire_v nothing_o more_o then_o that_o a_o most_o severe_a discipline_n concern_v manner_n may_v be_v observe_v in_o the_o church_n but_o i_o will_v wish_v it_o such_o as_o god_n have_v appoint_v and_o not_o man_n feign_v three_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o jew_n to_o eat_v leaven_v all_o the_o year_n over_o except_o on_o these_o seven_o day_n of_o unleavened-bread_n which_o they_o begin_v with_o eat_v of_o the_o passover_n if_o you_o do_v apply_v this_o unto_o the_o lord_n supper_n you_o must_v concede_fw-la that_o man_n may_v live_v impure_o all_o the_o year_n long_o only_o they_o must_v abstain_v from_o wickedness_n in_o the_o time_n of_o celebration_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n four_o moses_n speak_v here_o only_o of_o the_o paschall_n not_o of_o the_o other_o sacrament_n then_o wicked_a man_n shall_v be_v debar_v only_o from_o the_o lord_n supper_n but_o not_o from_o baptism_n five_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o compare_v the_o feast_n of_o the_o jew_n with_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o with_o our_o whole_a life_n he_o say_v we_o be_v unleavened_a as_o be_v man_n which_o be_v thorough_o purge_v from_o all_o leaven_n by_o the_o

excommunication_n can_v hence_o be_v hold_v up_o and_o establish_v against_o the_o clear_a command_n of_o god_n xviii_o nevertheless_o some_o may_v say_v that_o paul_n make_v mention_v here_o of_o the_o passover_n but_o what_o do_v this_o concern_v our_o business_n as_o if_o indeed_o this_o word_n passover_n be_v put_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o the_o lord_n supper_n christ_n say_v the_o apostle_n be_v our_o paschall_n sacrifice_v for_o we_o not_o his_o supper_n the_o meaning_n be_v that_o as_o the_o jew_n begin_v their_o feast_n of_o unleavened-bread_n by_o the_o eat_n of_o
