encouragement_n of_o man_n to_o live_v in_o scandalous_a sin_n without_o fear_n of_o suspension_n from_o the_o lord_n table_n and_o to_o intrude_v bold_o thereunto_o which_o be_v a_o power_n of_o grand_a tyranny_n and_o oppression_n of_o the_o conscience_n of_o minister_n may_v in_o any_o but_o a_o evil_a sense_n be_v call_v a_o matter_n of_o grand_a importance_n three_o i_o wish_v with_o all_o my_o heart_n though_o now_o too_o late_o that_o these_o question_n as_o in_o the_o title_n be_v pretend_v have_v first_o be_v propound_v to_o the_o venerable_a assembly_n for_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o they_o than_o shall_v have_v receive_v such_o a_o solid_a and_o satisfactory_a answer_n as_o will_v have_v stay_v the_o publish_n of_o they_o in_o print_n and_o prevent_v the_o infection_n of_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o vulgar_a people_n of_o weak_a judgement_n and_o save_v we_o the_o labour_n of_o compose_v antidote_n against_o they_o four_o i_o pity_v the_o author_n in_o that_o he_o have_v so_o err_v from_o his_o intend_a scope_n of_o these_o question_n for_o his_o handle_n and_o carriage_n of_o they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o prevent_v schism_n and_o settle_v unity_n among_o we_o in_o those_o divide_a time_n that_o on_o the_o contrary_a we_o find_v by_o experience_n to_o our_o grief_n that_o they_o work_v strong_o in_o corrupt_a and_o perverse_a mind_n to_o the_o breed_n and_o increase_v of_o schism_n to_o the_o disturbance_n of_o the_o desire_a reformation_n in_o a_o point_n of_o great_a concernment_n and_o to_o the_o raise_n up_o of_o division_n and_o dissension_n not_o

no_o difficulty_n unless_o man_n will_v be_v difficult_a and_o through_o their_o own_o averseness_n hardly_o persuade_v to_o grant_v and_o establish_v that_o which_o god_n word_n express_o hold_v

quote_v divers_a text_n of_o scripture_n which_o establish_z excommunication_n and_o you_o presuppose_v it_o in_o this_o your_o paper_n several_a time_n where_o you_o say_v none_o be_v to_o be_v suspend_v from_o the_o sacrament_n but_o such_o as_o be_v excommunicate_v and_o in_o your_o excommunication_n for_o which_o you_o cite_v tertullian_n schoolman_n and_o canonist_n you_o be_v more_o rigorous_a than_o any_o presbyterian_n who_o you_o close_o intimate_v to_o be_v indiscreet_a passionate_a oversevere_v and_o revengeful_a which_o be_v a_o point_n of_o unchristian_a jealousy_n and_o uncharitable_a surmise_n for_o they_o dare_v not_o by_o excommunication_n exclude_v obstinate_a offender_n from_o all_o ordinance_n but_o suffer_v they_o to_o hear_v the_o word_n though_o not_o in_o communion_n as_o member_n of_o the_o church_n but_o as_o infidel_n may_v do_v or_o else_o what_o hope_n can_v we_o have_v of_o a_o illiterate_a person_n excommunicate_v that_o he_o will_v ever_o repent_v and_o be_v restore_v as_o for_o suspension_n from_o the_o sacrament_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n more_o easy_a in_o itself_o and_o may_v be_v do_v orderly_o with_o less_o labour_n than_o excommunication_n and_o with_o great_a ease_n and_o facility_n and_o more_o frequent_o and_o with_o good_a success_n be_v practise_v in_o all_o the_o best_a reform_a church_n which_o also_o our_o late_a abolish_a liturgy_n do_v allow_v large_o to_o all_o pastor_n and_o churchwarden_n and_o it_o have_v be_v more_o easy_a to_o they_o that_o be_v godly_a and_o also_o more_o usual_a in_o our_o congregation_n if_o the_o proud_a prelate_n father_n of_o profaneness_n have_v not_o take_v that_o power_n whole_o to_o themselves_o which_o intolerable_a usurpation_n of_o they_o we_o hope_v be_v with_o themselves_o quite_o take_v away_o but_o not_o the_o power_n from_o the_o church_n nor_o the_o lawful_a exercise_n of_o it_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o christ_n second_o whereas_o you_o make_v no_o medium_n between_o profanation_n and_o scandal_n on_o the_o one_o side_n and_o arbitrary_a tyrannical_a papal_a domineer_n over_o the_o conscience_n and_o spiritual_a privilege_n of_o christian_n on_o the_o other_o herein_o passion_n and_o partiality_n seem_v to_o blind_v you_o for_o there_o be_v a_o plain_a open_a way_n between_o the_o two_o extreme_n that_o be_v the_o lawful_a power_n which_o christ_n have_v give_v to_o ecclesiastical_a ruler_n pastor_n and_o elder_n in_o his_o church_n which_o all_o godly_a minister_n and_o all_o orthodox_a member_n of_o the_o assembly_n stand_v plead_v and_o petition_n for_o that_o it_o may_v be_v back_v and_o confirm_v to_o they_o by_o civil_a sanction_n even_o power_n to_o prove_v and_o try_v who_o be_v fit_a and_o who_o be_v unworthy_a to_o come_v to_o the_o lord_n table_n and_o by_o admit_v the_o one_o and_o put_v back_o the_o other_o after_o strict_a trial_n and_o due_a proof_n and_o examination_n profanation_n and_o scandal_n may_v easy_o be_v prevent_v and_o arbitrary_a tyrannical_a papal_a domineer_n over_o the_o conscience_n of_o pastor_n and_o godly_a christian_a people_n shall_v have_v no_o place_n in_o god_n church_n scandalous_a proud_a impenitent_a sinner_n shall_v not_o come_v desperate_o to_o outface_v christ_n and_o his_o minister_n at_o his_o own_o table_n nor_o have_v a_o action_n against_o minister_n who_o out_o of_o tender_a conscience_n and_o fear_v of_o god_n refuse_v to_o reach_v to_o they_o judgement_n and_o damnation_n and_o so_o to_o partake_v with_o they_o in_o the_o guilt_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n the_o congregation_n of_o the_o godly_a shall_v not_o be_v scandalize_v nor_o tyrannical_o force_v either_o to_o countenance_n and_o harden_v the_o impenitent_a in_o their_o open_a wickedness_n by_o communicate_v with_o they_o or_o to_o separate_v from_o our_o congregation_n and_o abhor_v the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o man_n do_v in_o old_a eli_n day_n when_o his_o wicked_a son_n make_v they_o to_o abhor_v the_o offering_n of_o the_o lord_n 1_o sam._n 2._o 17._o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a let_v scandalous_a obstinate_a sinner_n have_v liberty_n to_o intrude_v and_o come_v bold_o to_o the_o lord_n table_n and_o the_o pastor_n and_o elder_n have_v no_o power_n to_o keep_v back_o from_o they_o the_o holy_a sign_n and_o scal_z which_o belong_v not_o to_o they_o this_o be_v more_o than_o arbitrary_a tyrannical_a papal_a domineer_n over_o the_o conscience_n of_o pastor_n elder_n and_o godly_a people_n 3._o but_o here_o methinks_v you_o speak_v very_o untoward_o to_o the_o great_a offence_n of_o all_o godly_a people_n against_o all_o christ_n minister_n and_o ecclesiastical_a ruler_n for_o in_o these_o word_n if_o it_o fall_v into_o

and_o therefore_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v trust_v with_o power_n of_o suspension_n and_o excommunication_n which_o if_o you_o do_v your_o heart_n be_v not_o f●ee_v from_o malignity_n against_o their_o holy_a call_n and_o the_o lord_n christ_n who_o have_v trust_v they_o will_v find_v you_o out_o or_o else_o your_o meaning_n be_v that_o as_o in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o papacy_n and_o prelacy_n so_o now_o it_o may_v again_o under_o presbyterial_a church-government_n happen_v that_o some_o of_o the_o ruler_n ecclesiastical_a may_v act_v with_o such_o hand_n what_o then_o do_v you_o infer_v thence_o that_o all_o of_o that_o high_a calling_n be_v to_o be_v abridge_v of_o that_o power_n a_o desperate_a inference_n strike_v at_o the_o prerogative_n and_o power_n of_o parliament_n and_o all_o civil_a judge_n and_o court_n of_o justice_n for_o upon_o the_o same_o ground_n viz._n because_o under_o the_o papacy_n parliament_n make_v law_n for_o suppress_v true_a religion_n and_o establish_v idolatry_n and_o superstition_n you_o may_v go_v about_o to_o abridge_v they_o and_o under_o the_o late_a domineer_a prelacy_n and_o tyranny_n judge_n wrest_v law_n to_o take_v away_o the_o subject_n birthright_n and_o liberty_n and_o to_o maintain_v oppression_n and_o they_o make_v you_o know_v who_o will_n and_o lust_n law_n and_o lawyer_n soothe_v they_o and_o you_o know_v when_o not_o one_o in_o all_o the_o bunch_n can_v be_v find_v nor_o hire_v to_o plead_v in_o the_o just_a cause_n of_o a_o innocent_a and_o even_o then_o many_o presbyter_n and_o ecclesiastical_a
