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

admonish_v that_o it_o will_v never_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o it_o can_v be_v show_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o to_o bind_v be_v put_v for_o that_o which_o be_v to_o keep_v back_o believer_n from_o receive_v of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o to_o loose_v signify_v the_o same_o that_o be_v again_o to_o admit_v he_o to_o the_o sacrament_n which_o for_o his_o wickedness_n be_v debar_v thereof_o and_o by_o this_o mean_n to_o be_v insert_v again_o as_o it_o be_v into_o the_o church_n lvi_o so_o than_o it_o be_v firm_o and_o true_o prove_v that_o christ_n in_o the_o 18._o of_o mat._n do_v not_o discourse_v of_o exclude_v man_n from_o the_o sacrament_n but_o of_o the_o private_a transaction_n and_o compose_v of_o private_a injury_n other_o man_n likewise_o have_v see_v this_o as_o angustin_n in_o his_o 16._o sermon_n upon_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n upon_o matthew_n and_o theophylact_v that_o compilator_n of_o chrysostome_n which_o no_o man_n doubt_v to_o have_v have_v

this_o chapter_n which_o be_v very_o agreeable_a to_o our_o purpose_n lvii_o now_o the_o matter_n require_v that_o we_o come_v to_o that_o fact_n of_o the_o apostle_n paul_n set_v down_o in_o the_o 1_o cor._n and_o 5._o and_o that_o we_o demonstrate_v that_o it_o belong_v not_o to_o this_o excommunication_n first_o it_o be_v know_v that_o the_o apostle_n be_v a_o strict_a observer_n of_o moses_n law_n and_o to_o have_v do_v nothing_o against_o the_o same_o as_o he_o witness_v of_o himself_o act_v 25._o yea_o it_o appear_v act_v 18._o and_o 21._o that_o he_o together_o with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n do_v observe_v some_o ceremony_n also_o of_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o to_o have_v be_v evil_a report_v of_o by_o the_o jew_n not_o that_o he_o have_v teach_v unto_o the_o gentile_n that_o observation_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o necessary_a but_o that_o he_o go_v about_o to_o persuade_v this_o to_o the_o jew_n when_o all_o the_o faithful_a in_o judea_n do_v observe_v the_o law_n nevertheless_o but_o who_o know_v not_o that_o christ_n do_v not_o change_v the_o law_n of_o m●ses_n concern_v the_o celebration_n of_o the_o passover_n in_o that_o part_n in_o which_o it_o be_v command_v that_o all_o the_o circumcise_a shall_v be_v present_a thereat_o therefore_o he_o neither_o command_v this_o man_n that_o have_v commit_v incest_n neither_o any_o other_o that_o desire_v to_o be_v account_v among_o the_o christian_n to_o be_v debar_v from_o the_o lord_n supper_n of_o the_o jew_n it_o be_v certain_a because_o they_o will_v not_o suffer_v any_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v against_o the_o law_n or_o against_o their_o own_o inveterate_a custom_n and_o who_o will_v believe_v that_o the_o gentile_n in_o this_o business_n be_v in_o a_o worse_a condition_n lviii_o if_o to_o deliver_v over_o to_o satan_n be_v no_o other_o thing_n then_o to_o interdict_v he_o the_o sacrament_n till_o he_o repent_v why_o with_o such_o study_n and_o with_o such_o exquisite_a word_n do_v the_o apostle_n paul_n excuse_v himself_o to_o the_o corinthian_n and_o as_o it_o be_v deprecate_v they_o in_o the_o 2._o and_o 7._o chapter_n of_o the_o last_o epistle_n then_o why_o shall_v the_o corinthian_n be_v take_v with_o so_o much_o sadness_n see_v they_o now_o know_v that_o this_o way_n of_o restrain_v the_o wicked_a be_v to_o remain_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v exercise_v in_o the_o church_n they_o ought_v rather_o to_o have_v rejoice_v for_o the_o example_n that_o be_v give_v to_o they_o which_o they_o afterward_o ought_v to_o follow_v if_o it_o be_v no_o other_o thing_n then_o a_o invitation_n to_o repentance_n and_o a_o wholesome_a remedy_n against_o damnation_n why_o be_v they_o make_v sad_a and_o do_v not_o rather_o rejoice_v christ_n say_v that_o the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n rejoice_v more_o at_o the_o conversion_n of_o one_o sinner_n then_o for_o ninety_o nine_o just_a from_o who_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o corinthian_n be_v not_o endue_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n that_o they_o see_v the_o apostle_n do_v that_o one_o and_o sole_a thing_n which_o will_v recall_v a_o err_a brother_n unto_o the_o way_n and_o save_v he_o that_o be_v in_o
