such_o punishment_n shall_v as_o well_o as_o they_o have_v be_v be_v the_o effect_n and_o consequence_n of_o that_o sin_n for_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v whole_o out_o of_o his_o power_n and_o cognizance_n and_o depend_v sole_o upon_o the_o will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o god_n he_o can_v not_o with_o any_o good_a reason_n and_o certainty_n threaten_v they_o with_o they_o for_o the_o future_a for_o we_o can_v draw_v certain_a conclusion_n from_o god_n former_a deal_n nor_o conclude_v because_o god_n have_v do_v thus_o therefore_o he_o will_v do_v the_o same_o in_o the_o like_a case_n these_o two_o instance_n of_o punishment_n relate_v to_o the_o body_n and_o life_n of_o a_o man_n plain_o i_o will_v only_o add_v to_o they_o one_o which_o extend_v as_o well_o to_o his_o estate_n and_o interest_n among_o man_n and_o that_o be_v 1_o cor._n 5.11_o but_o now_o i_o have_v write_v unto_o you_o not_o to_o keep_v company_n if_o any_o man_n that_o be_v call_v a_o brother_n be_v a_o fornicator_n or_o covetous_a or_o a_o idolater_n or_o a_o railer_n or_o a_o drunkard_n or_o a_o extortioner_n with_o such_o a_o one_o no_v not_o to_o eat_v where_o it_o be_v plain_a by_o not_o keep_v company_n and_o not_o eat_v the_o apostle_n mean_v to_o forbid_v all_o familiarity_n all_o intercourse_n and_o deal_n with_o such_o a_o man_n all_o buy_n of_o or_o sell_v to_o and_o all_o manner_n of_o trade_n with_o he_o shun_v he_o as_o a_o plague_n and_o have_v no_o more_o to_o do_v with_o he_o than_o with_o a_o infect_a person_n and_o a_o devil_n and_o how_o dismal_a and_o calamitous_a the_o case_n of_o such_o a_o man_n must_v needs_o be_v and_o how_o destructive_a this_o will_v be_v of_o all_o his_o interest_n and_o concern_v in_o the_o world_n you_o will_v easy_o see_v i_o be_o very_o confident_a that_o if_o punishment_n equal_a to_o any_o of_o these_o that_o i_o have_v name_v be_v inflict_v upon_o the_o contemner_n of_o the_o sacrament_n now_o there_o will_v be_v strange_a outcry_n of_o cruelty_n and_o tragical_a complaint_n of_o persecution_n and_o the_o governor_n of_o the_o church_n will_v be_v rail_v against_o as_o unchristian_a and_o man_n that_o do_v not_o act_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o yet_o you_o see_v these_o thing_n be_v do_v in_o the_o pure_a time_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o by_o those_o man_n too_o that_o be_v immediate_o act_v by_o a_o divine_a infallible_a spirit_n 2._o but_o second_o to_o these_o i_o shall_v add_v another_o observation_n that_o will_v bring_v the_o matter_n home_o and_o close_o to_o our_o present_a case_n and_o that_o be_v that_o excommunication_n be_v not_o pure_o a_o spiritual_a punishment_n but_o attend_v with_o external_a infliction_n as_o great_a and_o terrible_a or_o much_o more_o so_o than_o it_o be_v now_o that_o excommunication_n be_v a_o common_a and_o ordinary_a punishment_n inflict_v upon_o those_o unruly_a christian_n who_o conscience_n and_o a_o sense_n of_o duty_n can_v not_o keep_v in_o order_n i_o have_v prove_v already_o and_o i_o suppose_v shall_v not_o have_v it_o dispute_v or_o question_v by_o any_o that_o i_o have_v now_o a_o controversy_n with_o the_o only_a question_n be_v whether_o this_o be_v any_o more_o than_o a_o spiritual_a punishment_n and_o go_v any_o further_a than_o to_o cut_v man_n off_o from_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n and_o from_o those_o hope_n of_o future_a salvation_n that_o the_o member_n of_o it_o do_v expect_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o exclude_v man_n from_o all_o hope_n of_o heaven_n and_o consign_v they_o inevitable_o to_o hell_n and_o eternal_a damnation_n without_o the_o weak_a terror_n of_o corporal_a and_o external_a mulct_n and_o punishment_n our_o adversary_n contend_v vehement_o that_o this_o be_v all_o that_o be_v in_o excommunication_n of_o old_a and_o that_o no_o thing_n be_v suffer_v after_o it_o that_o this_o weapon_n of_o the_o church_n be_v according_a to_o the_o language_n of_o st._n paul_n spiritual_a only_o and_o in_o no_o sense_n carnal_a or_o affect_v the_o flesh_n and_o that_o therefore_o any_o prosecution_n of_o excommunicate_a person_n after_o that_o sentence_n any_o enforce_v the_o terror_n of_o it_o by_o external_a punishment_n be_v whole_o unscriptural_a and_o contrary_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o gospel_n this_o part_n of_o the_o controversy_n therefore_o i_o be_o now_o go_v to_o undertake_v and_o do_v not_o at_o all_o doubt_n but_o to_o prove_v that_o this_o be_v a_o very_a gross_a though_o i_o hope_v not_o wilful_a mistake_v and_o that_o excommunication_n be_v attend_v with_o as_o great_a and_o terrible_a external_a suffering_n then_o as_o it_o can_v be_v now_o nay_o much_o great_a and_o this_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o prove_v 1._o from_o the_o phrase_n and_o language_n in_o which_o this_o punishment_n be_v express_v in_o scripture_n 2._o from_o the_o testimony_n of_o antiquity_n and_o learned_a man_n in_o this_o instance_n 1._o i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o to_o consider_v the_o phrase_n under_o which_o the_o matter_n of_o excommunication_n be_v express_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o there_o be_v but_o these_o two_o place_n that_o at_o present_a i_o remember_v in_o which_o this_o be_v purposely_o and_o full_o do_v and_o they_o be_v 1_o cor._n 5.5_o &_o 1_o tim._n 1.20_o in_o which_o the_o expression_n be_v exact_o the_o same_o in_o both_o place_n excommunication_n be_v express_v by_o deliver_v unto_o satan_n only_o the_o end_n of_o this_o be_v a_o little_a various_o express_v in_o one_o it_o be_v add_v for_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o flesh_n that_o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v save_v in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o the_o other_o it_o be_v that_o they_o may_v learn_v not_o to_o blaspheme_v i_o shall_v consider_v these_o apart_o 1._o what_o excommunication_n be_v here_o say_v to_o be_v 2._o what_o the_o end_n and_o purpose_n of_o it_o be_v both_o will_v be_v pertinent_a to_o my_o purpose_n and_o be_v good_a proof_n of_o what_o i_o be_o contend_v for_o 1._o i_o consider_v the_o phrase_n that_o this_o censure_n be_v express_v in_o and_o that_o be_v deliver_v up_o unto_o satan_n to_o deliver_v such_o a_o one_o unto_o satan_n and_o who_o i_o have_v deliver_v unto_o satan_n by_o which_o expression_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v not_o only_o the_o cut_n off_o from_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o society_n of_o man_n that_o he_o have_v impale_v to_o himself_o and_o over_o which_o his_o extraordinary_a protection_n and_o providence_n watch_v but_o it_o mean_v the_o put_v man_n from_o under_o that_o common_a providence_n and_o protection_n of_o god_n that_o guard_v all_o man_n and_o the_o not_o only_o expose_v they_o to_o the_o incursion_n and_o power_n of_o the_o devil_n but_o consign_v they_o inevitable_o and_o infallible_o to_o his_o malice_n and_o fury_n to_o be_v torment_v and_o afflict_v by_o he_o for_o if_o it_o be_v only_o the_o first_o of_o these_o than_o it_o be_v only_o the_o put_v man_n into_o that_o estate_n which_o all_o that_o embrace_v not_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v in_o and_o that_o which_o all_o heretic_n schismatic_n and_o apostate_n inflict_v upon_o themselves_o over_o who_o yet_o the_o common_a providence_n of_o god_n watch_v and_o save_v from_o many_o evil_n which_o through_o the_o malice_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o their_o own_o folly_n they_o will_v certain_o fall_v into_o it_o will_v be_v abhorrent_n to_o christian_a charity_n to_o say_v that_o all_o such_o person_n and_o nation_n be_v thus_o give_v up_o to_o satan_n and_o that_o divine_a providence_n neglect_v and_o take_v no_o care_n of_o they_o it_o mean_v therefore_o the_o execrate_v and_o devote_v person_n immediate_o to_o the_o devil_n the_o put_v they_o from_o under_o god_n common_a providence_n and_o not_o only_o expose_v but_o consign_v they_o to_o the_o power_n and_o fury_n of_o that_o malicious_a mischievous_a spirit_n and_o according_o be_v interpret_v by_o all_o learned_a man_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v most_o certain_o conclude_v what_o external_a corporal_a torture_n and_o buffet_n and_o misery_n they_o must_v fall_v into_o 1._o for_o be_v it_o only_o a_o pull_n down_o the_o hedge_n of_o common_a protection_n and_o providence_n that_o guard_v all_o man_n and_o expose_v they_o to_o the_o incursion_n of_o the_o devil_n to_o be_v deal_v with_o as_o he_o pleasesh_n we_o may_v easy_o presage_v the_o misery_n they_o will_v fall_v into_o we_o know_v what_o the_o malice_n of_o the_o devil_n against_o poor_a man_n be_v and_o we_o read_v enough_o of_o the_o effect_n of_o his_o cruelty_n and_o spite_n upon_o those_o he_o have_v be_v let_v loose_a upon_o malice_n and_o
