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

the_o pharisee_n will_v not_o enter_v the_o council-house_n when_o they_o deliver_v christ_n to_o pilate_n to_o be_v put_v to_o death_n lest_o they_o shall_v be_v hinder_v to_o eat_v the_o passover_n

clear_o hold_v forth_o by_o the_o reason_n follow_v 1._o transgressor_n be_v not_o punish_v with_o the_o same_o punishment_n that_o the_o unclean_a be_v whilst_o that_o legal_a uncleanness_n be_v in_o force_n and_o together_o therewith_o there_o be_v multitude_n of_o wicked_a person_n how_o then_o be_v it_o likely_a that_o after_o these_o ceremony_n be_v remove_v and_o abolish_v they_o shall_v have_v signify_v these_o wickedness_n ought_v to_o be_v so_o punish_v 2._o moses_n shall_v have_v open_o be_v opposite_a to_o himself_o whilst_o he_o do_v real_o admit_v those_o person_n to_o the_o

any_o other_o such_o like_a mean_n therefore_o he_o shall_v have_v punish_v they_o that_o signify_v the_o wicked_a and_o shall_v have_v leave_v the_o wicked_a themselves_o as_o to_o this_o punishment_n unpunished_a and_o so_o he_o shall_v both_o deny_v and_o affirm_v the_o same_o thing_n 3._o legal_a impurity_n be_v a_o certain_a quality_n and_o stain_n of_o the_o body_n when_o as_o wickedness_n be_v operation_n and_o consist_v in_o action_n for_o the_o cause_n and_o wet_v of_o wickedness_n be_v bring_v forth_o together_o with_o we_o neither_o be_v it_o punish_v by_o man_n so_o long_o as_o it_o bring_v forth_o no_o fruit_n otherwise_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v excommunicate_v for_o we_o will_v never_o be_v free_v from_o this_o impurity_n of_o soul_n so_o long_o as_o we_o shall_v enjoy_v this_o mortal_a life_n but_o the_o other_o be_v only_o a_o blemish_n and_o uncleanness_n of_o body_n be_v punish_v by_o seclude_v they_o from_o dyet_v together_o with_o other_o although_o it_o produce_v no_o fruit_n that_o be_v although_o the_o legal_a unclean_a person_n do_v not_o offend_v in_o any_o thing_n against_o the_o law_n the_o work_n and_o transgression_n of_o legal_a unclean_a person_n if_o whilst_o they_o be_v unclean_a they_o offend_v against_o the_o law_n in_o any_o thing_n be_v punish_v by_o the_o magistrate_n as_o other_o transgression_n be_v 4._o our_o adversary_n confess_v that_o all_o sort_n of_o sin_n be_v not_o to_o be_v punish_v by_o excommunication_n whenas_o the_o law_n command_v every_o purity_n to_o be_v punish_v by_o exclude_v the_o offender_n from_o the_o tabernacle_n and_o public_a sacrifice_n wherefore_o they_o do_v not_o prefigurate_a all_o offence_n 5._o not_o any_o can_v be_v excommunicate_a that_o sin_v unwilling_o when_o as_o man_n most_o frequent_o become_v unclean_a against_o their_o will_n and_o without_o any_o fault_n in_o they_o yea_o many_o time_n to_o their_o great_a grief_n what_o guilt_n be_v to_o be_v think_v in_o he_o who_o against_o his_o will_n and_o whilst_o he_o be_v sleep_v lose_v his_o seed_n in_o the_o night_n who_o wife_n become_v menstruous_a before_o his_o expectation_n who_o child_n wife_n parent_n do_v die_v or_o to_o who_o any_o such_o thing_n do_v happen_v but_o that_o these_o vice_n shall_v be_v voluntary_a for_o which_o man_n shall_v be_v exclude_v from_o the_o sacrament_n as_o some_o be_v of_o opinion_n need_v no_o probation_n 6._o there_o be_v a_o far_o heavy_a punishment_n appoint_v for_o one_o that_o shall_v kill_v a_o man_n against_o and_o beside_o his_o will_n then_o a_o few_o day_n or_o week_n exclusion_n from_o the_o sacrament_n which_o be_v almost_o the_o great_a punishment_n be_v inflict_v on_o uncleanness_n because_o then_o a_o involuntary_a and_o therefore_o the_o most_o easy_a sin_n be_v chastise_v with_o a_o severe_a punishment_n than_o the_o most_o unclean_a legal_a impurity_n it_o easy_o appear_v that_o the_o punishment_n due_a to_o this_o be_v not_o to_o be_v transfer_v for_o the_o chastise_v of_o wickedness_n 7._o it_o frequent_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o most_o holy_a and_o upright_a person_n be_v make_v unclean_a and_o be_v debar_v from_o enter_v the_o temple_n and_o use_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n whilst_o the_o most_o wicked_a person_n without_o any_o impediment_n be_v admit_v to_o both_o wherefore_o if_o in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n the_o punishment_n of_o both_o shall_v be_v the_o same_o this_o person_n shall_v much_o more_o be_v debar_v the_o use_n of_o they_o then_o the_o other_o 8._o it_o be_v clear_a that_o god_n have_v not_o at_o any_o time_n or_o in_o any_o place_n absolute_o forbid_v all_o legal_a impurity_n for_o then_o without_o doubt_n he_o will_v not_o have_v have_v

the_o sword_n that_o be_v when_o the_o magistrate_n be_v make_v christian_n nevertheless_o this_o power_n remain_v still_o in_o the_o bishop_n partly_o because_o it_o be_v believe_v to_o be_v a_o divine_a ordination_n and_o partly_o because_o they_o will_v hardly_o lay_v down_o this_o spiritual_a sword_n for_o which_o they_o be_v fear_v by_o the_o great_a prince_n for_o they_o easy_o persuade_v other_o which_o they_o more_o easy_o and_o willing_o believe_v themselves_o to_o wit_n that_o christ_n be_v the_o author_n of_o this_o business_n superstition_n confirm_v the_o opinion_n by_o ascribe_v safety_n to_o the_o sacrament_n for_o it_o be_v write_v and_o believe_v that_o some_o man_n can_v not_o die_v before_o they_o have_v be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o sacrament_n therefore_o either_o by_o reason_n of_o this_o error_n man_n do_v very_o much_o fear_n excommunication_n or_o from_o excommunication_n this_o error_n do_v spring_n among_o the_o unlearnede_a people_n that_o life_n be_v put_v in_o receive_v of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o death_n in_o denial_n of_o the_o same_o when_o they_o see_v wicked_a man_n punish_v with_o the_o denial_n of_o they_o as_o with_o the_o last_o and_o great_a punishment_n lxxi_o but_o as_o far_o as_o we_o can_v know_v by_o conjecture_v it_o seem_v that_o at_o the_o beginning_n the_o administrator_n thereof_o be_v those_o elder_n of_o who_o we_o read_v the_o 1_o cor._n 6._o who_o carry_v the_o place_n of_o magistrate_n in_o the_o church_n together_o with_o the_o minister_n afterward_o this_o whole_a power_n remain_v to_o the_o bishop_n who_o do_v cognosce_fw-la in_o all_o cause_n compose_v all_o difference_n give_v judgement_n and_o do_v administer_v all_o such_o thing_n as_o we_o clear_o see_v out_o of_o augustine_n complain_v of_o those_o labour_n and_o the_o history_n of_o that_o time_n ambrose_n indeed_o affirm_v that_o those_o elder_n without_o which_o nothing_o use_v to_o be_v do_v in_o the_o church_n have_v then_o place_n whenas_o yet_o they_o want_v bishop_n but_o by_o the_o apostle_n it_o appear_v that_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v overseer_n of_o this_o office_n so_o long_o as_o the_o church_n be_v press_v with_o a_o ungodly_a magistracy_n by_o which_o that_o likewise_o be_v understand_v that_o as_o under_o a_o godly_a magistracy_n their_o office_n cease_v so_o likewise_o excommunication_n shall_v cease_v under_o the_o same_o albeit_o they_o have_v exercise_v the_o same_o before_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n it_o must_v be_v note_v that_o these_o elder_n be_v in_o the_o place_n of_o the_o magistrate_n and_o do_v meddle_v with_o civil_a matter_n and_o be_v not_o a_o ecclesiastic_a judicatory_a which_o at_o this_o day_n they_o distinguish_v from_o the_o politic_a for_o it_o be_v clear_o say_v that_o they_o ought_v to_o meddle_v with_o debate_n and_o matter_n belong_v to_o the_o sustentation_n and_o use_n of_o man_n life_n lxxii_o the_o fruit_n that_o it_o bring_v forth_o in_o the_o church_n will_v scarce_o be_v explain_v in_o many_o book_n true_o they_o can_v be_v comprehend_v in_o a_o few_o line_n first_o they_o bring_v this_o to_o pass_v that_o man_n begin_v to_o ascribe_v safety_n to_o the_o sacrament_n for_o thus_o they_o reason_v the_o denial_n of_o the_o sacrament_n bring_v destruction_n therefore_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o same_o give_v life_n they_o can_v not_o doubt_v of_o that_o which_o be_v the_o antecedent_n whilst_o they_o hear_v that_o those_o be_v afflict_v with_o great_a punishment_n and_o believe_v be_v deliver_v to_o satan_n unto_o who_o the_o sacrament_n be_v deny_v hence_o it_o be_v believe_v that_o some_o can_v not_o die_v without_o receive_v of_o the_o supper_n as_o i_o say_v a_o little_a before_o those_o many_o and_o great_a and_o long_a satisfaction_n and_o ceremony_n do_v augment_v the_o error_n and_o likewise_o chief_o that_o that_o they_o permit_v the_o use_n of_o the_o supper_n to_o man_n that_o be_v only_o a_o do_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o depart_v hence_o without_o food_n necessary_a for_o their_o soul_n which_o if_o it_o do_v not_o happen_v they_o esteem_v he_o condemn_v to_o who_o this_o befall_v as_o if_o god_n will_v not_o forgive_v they_o that_o be_v hearty_o penitent_a for_o their_o sin_n and_o give_v they_o life_n except_o those_o elder_n judge_v they_o worthy_a of_o the_o lord_n supper_n what_o can_v be_v think_v more_o horrid_a than_o this_o error_n then_o likewise_o it_o bring_v this_o to_o pass_v that_o every_o one_o almost_o believe_v it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o a_o man_n to_o shut_v and_o open_a heaven_n to_o whatsoever_o person_n he_o please_v so_o the_o emperor_n theodosius_n the_o young_a will_v not_o dine_v because_o he_o be_v excommunicate_a by_o a_o monk_n unto_o who_o he_o deny_v something_o to_o he_o that_o he_o have_v demand_v albeit_o the_o bishop_n of_o constantinople_n tell_v he_o such_o exclusion_n be_v invalid_a nevertheless_o he_o will_v not_o be_v quiet_a till_o at_o last_o he_o have_v absolve_v he_o who_o have_v bind_v he_o so_o the_o elder_n be_v compel_v by_o ambrose_n for_o eight_o month_n to_o abstain_v from_o the_o church_n and_o preach_n

we_o think_v that_o we_o can_v constitute_v a_o better_a form_n of_o church_n and_o commonwealth_n in_o the_o 4._o chapter_n of_o deutronomy_n we_o read_v that_o for_o the_o judgement_n and_o
