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 at_o last_o even_o by_o that_o most_o famous_a and_o holy_a forerunner_n of_o christ_n john_n the_o baptist_n himself_o fourteen_o and_o indeed_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o ancient_n and_o we_o be_v the_o same_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o thing_n signify_v as_o paul_n clear_v in_o the_o 1_o cor._n 10._o wherefore_o except_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n be_v either_o abolish_v or_o change_v in_o this_o point_n it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o any_o man_n to_o bring_v in_o the_o contrary_n xxv_o for_o as_o we_o use_v right_o against_o the_o anabaptist_n this_o firm_a argument_n because_o circumcision_n have_v succeed_v to_o baptism_n and_o christ_n have_v not_o in_o any_o place_n forbid_v infant_n baptism_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o less_o lawful_a for_o we_o to_o baptise_v our_o infant_n than_o it_o be_v for_o the_o jew_n to_o circumcise_v they_o so_o here_o likewise_o we_o can_v no_o less_o sound_o reason_n after_o this_o manner_n the_o lord_n supper_n succeed_v to_o the_o eat_n of_o the_o passover_n but_o vice_n be_v not_o punish_v by_o the_o denial_n of_o the_o passover_n neither_o be_v any_o for_o these_o debar_v it_o but_o rather_o all_o especial_o the_o male_a be_v invite_v by_o the_o law_n to_o the_o celebration_n thereof_o which_o see_v in_o no_o place_n we_o read_v to_o be_v antiquate_a and_o abolish_v neither_o be_v they_o indeed_o to_o be_v punish_v by_o the_o denial_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n nor_o upon_o this_o account_n ought_v any_o to_o be_v reject_v we_o have_v say_v enough_o concern_v the_o old_a testament_n now_o it_o be_v convenient_a that_o we_o descend_v to_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n that_o be_v to_o the_o new_a testament_n xxvi_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n we_o do_v not_o read_v that_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n christ_n do_v forbid_v any_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n yea_o moreover_o we_o do_v not_o find_v that_o his_o apostle_n in_o any_o place_n command_v that_o such_o a_o thing_n shall_v be_v do_v for_o christ_n come_v not_o into_o this_o world_n to_o destroy_v the_o law_n but_o to_o fulfil_v and_o perfect_v the_o same_o wherefore_o see_v the_o law_n command_v all_o except_o the_o unclean_a to_o celebrate_v the_o passover_n he_o will_v not_o forbid_v any_o xxvii_o it_o be_v likewise_o apparent_a that_o christ_n never_o reprehend_v any_o because_o they_o use_v the_o sacrament_n and_o be_v frequent_o present_a in_o the_o temple_n and_o at_o the_o sacrifice_n but_o only_o admonish_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v use_v they_o aright_o according_a to_o the_o will_n and_o law_n of_o god_n he_o enter_v always_o into_o the_o same_o temple_n with_o the_o pharisee_n sadducee_n publican_n with_o all_o other_o evil_a together_o and_o with_o good_a person_n he_o be_v present_a with_o they_o at_o the_o same_o sacrifice_n and_o together_o with_o the_o whole_a people_n use_v the_o same_o sacrament_n and_o he_o be_v baptise_v likewise_o with_o the_o same_o baptism_n of_o john_n wherewith_o those_o wicked_a person_n now_o name_v be_v baptise_a xxviii_o for_o this_o same_o cause_n he_o do_v not_o keep_v back_o from_o the_o eat_n of_o the_o last_o paschall_n lamb_n his_o betrayer_n judas_n but_o he_o do_v sit_v down_o together_o with_o the_o other_o eleven_o disciple_n and_o albeit_o there_o be_v some_o who_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v that_o judas_n be_v not_o present_a at_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o new_a supper_n which_o will_v be_v very_o hard_a that_o i_o may_v not_o say_v impossible_a to_o show_v clear_o out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o that_o he_o go_v away_o before_o it_o be_v institute_v by_o christ_n notwithstand_v i_o believe_v none_o dare_v deny_v but_o that_o according_a to_o the_o law_n he_o be_v admit_v to_o the_o eat_n of_o the_o passover_n which_o be_v grant_v our_o argument_n remain_v unmoved_a for_o whither_o he_o go_v out_o before_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o other_o supper_n or_o go_v not_o out_o which_o be_v more_o probable_a and_o always_o believe_v by_o more_o man_n this_o be_v ever_o clear_a that_o he_o be_v present_a at_o the_o first_o and_o be_v not_o command_v open_o to_o abstain_v from_o the_o second_o yea_o moreover_o we_o do_v not_o read_v in_o any_o place_n that_o he_o be_v command_v by_o christ_n to_o go_v out_o that_o he_o may_v not_o be_v present_a at_o the_o new_a supper_n wherefore_o if_o he_o go_v out_o he_o go_v out_o of_o himself_o neither_o go_v he_o out_o for_o that_o cause_n but_o we_o inquire_v what_o christ_n do_v do_v not_o what_o judas_n do_v it_o suffice_v we_o that_o christ_n do_v not_o command_v he_o to_o abstain_v from_o his_o last_o supper_n xxix_o it_o be_v frivolous_a and_o light_a that_o be_v bring_v for_o excuse_n that_o the_o fault_n be_v not_o public_a and_o that_o therefore_o he_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v remove_v for_o he_o have_v then_o agree_v upon_o a_o price_n with_o the_o pharisee_n and_o in_o the_o time_n of_o supper_n itself_o christ_n do_v open_v it_o up_o to_o his_o disciple_n and_o have_v make_v it_o public_a whereby_o the_o rather_o a_o example_n shall_v have_v be_v make_v thereof_o last_o that_o this_o be_v but_o something_o yet_o at_o least_o he_o be_v note_v before_o that_o time_n for_o a_o thief_n and_o although_o he_o be_v such_o nevertheless_o our_o lord_n commit_v the_o ministry_n to_o he_o and_o do_v honour_v he_o with_o the_o power_n of_o cast_v out_o devil_n of_o heal_v the_o sick_a and_o of_o work_v other_o miracle_n and_o to_o conclude_v all_o the_o year_n he_o be_v with_o christ_n he_o admit_v he_o together_o with_o the_o rest_n to_o the_o celebration_n of_o the_o passover_n be_v not_o this_o argument_n enough_o that_o christ_n will_v not_o that_o wicked_a man_n shall_v be_v punish_v by_o the_o denial_n of_o the_o sacrament_n certain_o it_o be_v a_o great_a matter_n to_o admit_v a_o wicked_a man_n into_o the_o ministry_n then_o to_o admit_v any_o such_o a_o one_o to_o the_o supper_n we_o see_v that_o christ_n let_v both_o these_o fall_n to_o judas_n xxx_o that_o be_v also_o to_o be_v observe_v that_o the_o disciple_n at_o the_o first_o supper_n begin_v to_o contend_v among_o themselves_o about_o the_o eminency_n and_o dignity_n nevertheless_o none_o of_o they_o be_v remove_v for_o that_o cause_n but_o moreover_o he_o command_v and_o will_v that_o all_o shall_v drink_v of_o the_o cup_n in_o relation_n to_o this_o matter_n the_o reason_n of_o the_o cup_n and_o bread_n be_v the_o same_o witness_v matth._n 26._o which_o mark_n do_v testify_v be_v do_v what_o other_o thing_n can_v be_v believe_v christ_n will_v by_o these_o word_n then_o to_o confirm_v those_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v of_o old_a command_v by_o moses_n viz._n that_o no_o baptise_a person_n shall_v be_v exclude_v from_o that_o public_a and_o solemn_a thanksgiving_n who_o desire_v to_o be_v present_a thereat_o by_o which_o it_o appear_v that_o not_o any_o aught_o to_o be_v remove_v from_o the_o table_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o embrace_v the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n and_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v teach_v of_o christ_n xxxi_o christ_n will_v not_o have_v his_o kingdom_n i_o speak_v of_o the_o external_a on_o this_o earth_n circumscribe_v within_o narrow_a bounding_n among_o christian_n then_o in_o old_a time_n he_o will_v have_v it_o contain_v and_o define_v among_o the_o jew_n therefore_o as_o god_n command_v all_o the_o circumcise_a external_o to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o same_o sacrament_n and_o ceremony_n and_o command_v offender_n to_o be_v coerce_v and_o punish_v with_o the_o sword_n and_o other_o punishment_n so_o here_o christ_n will_v have_v all_o they_o that_o be_v baptise_a or_o be_v christian_n and_o have_v right_a and_o true_a belief_n concern_v religion_n to_o use_v the_o same_o external_a ceremony_n and_o sacrament_n but_o will_v have_v those_o that_o be_v flagitious_a to_o be_v chastise_v by_o the_o magistrate_n with_o death_n banishment_n imprisonment_n and_o other_o punishment_n hitherto_o as_o it_o seem_v belong_v these_o parable_n of_o the_o net_n marriage_n and_o of_o the_o tare_n xxxii_o in_o the_o apostle_n especial_o in_o the_o apostle_n paul_n we_o find_v no_o few_o and_o no_o less_o plain_a and_o pithy_a argument_n the_o first_o be_v this_o that_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o find_v any_o where_o either_o to_o have_v teach_v or_o exercise_v the_o excommunication_n which_o argument_n seem_v in_o itself_o invalide_v become_v unanswerable_a if_o we_o consider_v that_o they_o be_v even_o unto_o their_o death_n most_o strict_a keeper_n of_o moses_n law_n which_o christ_n have_v not_o abolish_v as_o every_o man_n may_v know_v even_o by_o the_o 21._o and_o last_o chapter_n of_o the_o acts._n wherefore_o they_o never_o try_v or_o will_v try_v to_o repel_v any_o man_n which_o profess_v himself_o a_o christian_n
