ancient_a father_n as_o judge_n of_o all_o coutroversy_n the_o which_o they_o will_v never_o do_v for_o they_o dare_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o the_o ancient_a father_n be_v true_a believer_n why_o therefore_o do_v they_o attribute_v unto_o themselves_o that_o which_o they_o so_o vehement_o deny_v to_o all_o the_o ancient_a father_n 12._o moreover_o if_o every_o believer_n cannor_n err_v in_o his_o judgement_n much_o less_o can_v a_o great_a many_o such_o err_v and_o least_o of_o all_o can_v the_o church_n of_o all_o believer_n err_v wherefore_o whatsoever_o our_o adversary_n say_v they_o will_v be_v force_v to_o confess_v and_o grant_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v the_o judge_n as_o he_o remain_v in_o the_o whole_a church_n speak_v and_o judge_v by_o the_o mouth_n thereof_o and_o in_o this_o manner_n even_o out_o of_o our_o adversary_n doctrine_n we_o gather_v by_o a_o necessary_a consequence_n our_o opinion_n 13._o last_o that_o which_o they_o affirm_v that_o the_o private_a spirit_n of_o every_o particular_a person_n be_v judge_n be_v thereby_o declare_v to_o be_v false_a that_o they_o themselves_o acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v no_o private_a man_n which_o at_o some_o time_n can_v err_v in_o his_o judgement_n but_o here_o we_o inquire_v for_o a_o judge_n which_o can_v err_v for_o otherwise_o in_o matter_n of_o such_o moment_n and_o of_o which_o our_o eternal_a salvation_n depend_v we_o shall_v dangerous_o be_v force_v to_o have_v recourse_n to_o a_o erroneous_a judge_n who_o judgement_n be_v variable_a uncertain_a deceitful_a and_o often_o time_n manifest_o false_a 14._o but_o now_o as_o concern_v the_o three_o point_n that_o the_o church_n be_v the_o judge_n of_o all_o controversy_n we_o prove_v by_o these_o argument_n first_o the_o church_n have_v all_o the_o property_n of_o a_o fit_a judge_n for_o first_o she_o have_v a_o exact_a knowledge_n the_o holy_a ghost_n 13._o shall_v teach_v you_o say_v christ_n all_o truth_n 15._o second_o the_o church_n can_v be_v corrupt_v by_o any_o gift_n or_o prayer_n for_o she_o be_v as_o the_o apostle_n witness_v the_o 15._o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o truth_n 16._o three_o the_o church_n hear_v speak_v give_v her_o judgement_n and_o examine_v the_o testimony_n of_o scripture_n and_o father_n as_o experience_n itself_o teaeh_v us._n 17._o four_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o stand_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n who_o will_v not_o hear_v the_o church_n say_v our_o lord_n let_v 17._o he_o be_v unto_o thou_o as_o a_o heathen_a and_o publican_n 18._o five_o the_o church_n have_v power_n and_o authority_n to_o punish_v what_o will_v you_o 10._o say_v the_o apostle_n that_o i_o come_v unto_o you_o with_o a_o rod_n or_o in_o charity_n and_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o mildness_n and_o in_o another_o place_n if_o i_o come_v again_o i_o will_v not_o spare_v and_o again_o that_o be_v present_a i_o may_v not_o deal_v hardly_o according_a to_o the_o power_n which_o our_o lord_n have_v give_v i_o unto_o edification_n and_o not_o unto_o destruction_n 19_o six_o the_o church_n absolve_v bind_v and_o retain_v sin_n excommunicate_v 23._o as_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v express_o testify_v and_o our_o adversary_n do_v also_o confess_v all_o which_o act_n belong_v unto_o judge_n but_o the_o scripture_n do_v none_o of_o they_o 20._o the_o second_o argument_n the_o holy_a scripture_n express_o affirm_v that_o the_o church_n do_v sometime_o judge_v 5._o i_o indeed_o absent_a in_o body_n but_o present_a in_o spirit_n have_v already_o judge_v at_o present_v he_o that_o have_v so_o do_v in_o the_o name_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n you_o be_v gather_v together_o and_o my_o spirit_n with_o the_o virtue_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o deliver_v such_o a_o one_o to_o sathàn_v and_o a_o little_a after_o do_v not_o you_o judge_v 〈◊〉_d of_o they_o that_o be_v within_o where_o the_o apostle_n plain_o say_v that_o the_o pastor_n of_o the_o church_n judge_v those_o which_o be_v in_o the_o church_n 21._o the_o three_o argument_n be_v take_v from_o their_o common_a practice_n of_o the_o church_n aswell_o in_o the_o old_a as_o in_o the_o new_a 11._o testament_n for_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o chief_a judgement_n of_o all_o cause_n be_v ordain_v by_o god_n himself_o first_o in_o the_o book_n of_o number_n and_o afterward_o it_o be_v confirm_v in_o deuteronomy_n in_o which_o judgement_n the_o priest_n do_v sit_v as_o judge_n and_o the_o chief_a judge_n who_o do_v give_v his_o sentence_n for_o in_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v doubtful_a by_o the_o express_a commandment_n of_o god_n the_o common_a people_n be_v send_v to_o this_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n and_o not_o only_o to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n or_o to_o
