A86891	A second vindication of a disciplinary, anti-Erastian, orthodox free-admission to the Lords-Supper; or, The state of this controversie revised and proposed: for the fuller understanding of the most, as to the grounds whereon it stands; and more especially for the ease, and clearer proceeding of those, that shall write about it, whether for it, or against it. / By John Humfrey, min: of Froome.	Humfrey, John, 1621-1719.	1656 (1656)	Wing H3710; Thomason E1641_2; ESTC R209066	63,290	161

and_o that_o not_o so_o high_a as_o excommunication_n it_o will_v not_o follow_v for_o all_o this_o that_o it_o must_v be_v necessary_o this_o suspension_n because_o it_o may_v be_v any_o thing_n else_o as_o well_o unless_o there_o be_v something_o in_o the_o place_n to_o discover_v that_o the_o apostle_n have_v some_o aim_n here_o in_o particular_a at_o the_o sacrament_n which_o be_v a_o vain_a thing_n to_o affirm_v if_o you_o shall_v frame_v twenty_o kind_n of_o keep_v not_o company_n or_o exclusion_n as_o well_o as_o from_o the_o sacrament_n and_o shall_v say_v the_o text_n mean_v one_o of_o they_o you_o will_v have_v quite_o as_o much_o from_o the_o place_n to_o prove_v the_o one_o as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o to_o conclude_v then_o these_o scripture_n about_o which_o i_o

this_o according_a to_o what_o have_v be_v before_o if_o these_o very_a scripture_n which_o be_v allege_v for_o suspension_n do_v respect_n the_o sacrament_n no_o otherwise_o but_o as_o a_o part_n of_o church-communion_n that_o be_v if_o they_o do_v not_o prove_v a_o man_n be_v to_o be_v exclude_v from_o communion_n in_o the_o sacrament_n at_o all_o but_o only_o that_o they_o prove_v he_o be_v to_o be_v exclude_v communion_n in_o general_n we_o shall_v not_o need_v any_o strong_a proof_n against_o suspension_n then_o that_o there_o be_v not_o such_o a_o censure_n in_o scripture_n as_o distinct_a from_o excommunication_n sect_n 13._o there_o be_v some_o other_o divine_n of_o something_o more_o candid_a spirit_n that_o look_v upon_o suspension_n only_o as_o a_o prudential_a pastoral_a duty_n and_o no_o juridical_a censure_n and_o so_o labour_v to_o maintain_v it_o for_o such_o as_o these_o i_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o those_o reason_n of_o i_o lay_v down_o before_o do_v not_o strict_o meddle_v with_o they_o it_o may_v suffice_v i_o as_o for_o such_o that_o they_o have_v beza_n with_o the_o presbyterian_o direct_o against_o they_o and_o no_o scripture_n for_o any_o suspension_n at_o all_o i_o speak_v as_o to_o the_o sacrament_n whereon_o to_o build_v such_o a_o opinion_n and_o as_o for_o that_o they_o have_v to_o say_v for_o it_o for_o that_o be_v the_o whole_a that_o the_o apostle_n command_v a_o man_n to_o examine_v himself_o and_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n upon_o which_o we_o grant_v that_o infant_n and_o distract_a person_n be_v not_o to_o be_v admit_v by_o the_o minister_n therefore_o say_v they_o likewise_o neither_o ignorant_a nor_o scandalous_a person_n i_o conceive_v it_o too_o insufficient_a a_o ground_n alone_o to_o build_v a_o business_n of_o so_o much_o practical_a weight_n and_o trouble_n upon_o i_o will_v add_v therefore_o two_o or_o three_o reason_n more_o against_o this_o opinion_n 1._o a_o regenerate_a person_n that_o can_v examine_v himself_o and_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n in_o the_o strict_a sense_n yet_o may_v be_v scandalous_a and_o for_o that_o scandal_n deserve_v exclusion_n as_o theodosius_n by_o ambrose_n it_o be_v not_o therefore_o because_o the_o apostle_n command_v a_o man_n to_o examine_v himself_o and_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n that_o a_o scandalous_a person_n be_v exclude_v but_o because_o the_o apostle_n command_v otherwhere_a let_v such_o be_v censure_v put_v away_o from_o yourselves_o such_o a_o person_n the_o same_o ground_n or_o reason_n that_o will_v exclude_v a_o unregenerate_a man_n will_v exclude_v the_o regenerate_a and_o no_o other_o from_o whence_o likewise_o i_o shall_v take_v away_o this_o argument_n from_o the_o hand_n of_o my_o proper_a opposer_n if_o the_o keep_n of_o person_n from_o the_o lord_n supper_n upon_o this_o ground_n or_o account_n that_o the_o apostle_n command_v those_o that_o come_v hither_o shall_v examine_v themselves_o and_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n be_v a_o pastoral_a duty_n as_o these_o think_v and_o indeed_o so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v do_v bare_o on_o this_o ground_n in_o infant_n and_o distract_a person_n who_o be_v not_o bind_v hereunto_o through_o incapacity_n of_o reason_n be_v refuse_v it_o be_v no_o other_o then_o must_v not_o exclusion_n of_o ignorant_a and_o scandalous_a person_n stand_v upon_o this_o ground_n with_o the_o presbyterian_o for_o that_o be_v a_o act_n that_o can_v be_v do_v according_a to_o they_o as_o beza_n forequote_v but_o by_o the_o power_n of_o jurisdiction_n this_o be_v what_o have_v at_o large_a be_v say_v before_o suspension_n from_o the_o sacrament_n must_v not_o be_v hold_v upon_o any_o argument_n from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o ordinance_n but_o from_o discipline_n 2._o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o same_o grace_n be_v require_v of_o a_o person_n to_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n in_o one_o part_n of_o god_n worship_n as_o in_o another_o the_o scripture_n require_v we_o express_o to_o pray_v in_o faith_n in_o love_n with_o understanding_n and_o the_o like_a when_o it_o do_v not_o express_o but_o by_o consequence_n command_v we_o so_o to_o receive_v and_o as_o for_o due_a preparation_n or_o self-examination_n and_o a_o right_a discernment_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o his_o worship_n who_o will_v deny_v it_o to_o be_v require_v in_o every_o ordinance_n by_o the_o same_o consequence_n as_o in_o the_o sacrament_n it_o be_v express_v it_o can_v therefore_o be_v say_v that_o the_o debar_v of_o scandalous_a or_o ignorant_a person_n from_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o scripture-result_a from_o the_o nature_n of_o that_o service_n and_o the_o requisite_n to_o it_o which_o be_v the_o whole_a can_v be_v plead_v to_o make_v this_o a_o pastoral_a duty_n any_o more_o than_o from_o prayer_n and_o other_o ordinance_n it_o be_v true_a we_o may_v suppose_v according_a to_o the_o ratity_n &_o solemnity_n of_o a_o ordinance_n our_o address_n to_o it_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v more_o solemn_a but_o yet_o be_v the_o ordinance_n alike_o otherwise_o as_o to_o the_o nature_n and_o requisit_n to_o it_o and_o not_o to_o be_v prefer_v before_o other_o to_o the_o breed_n such_o a_o superstitious_a conceit_n on_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n that_o look_v to_o i_o like_v to_o bow_v at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n and_o not_o at_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n god_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 3._o it_o be_v not_o the_o part_n of_o pastor_n to_o content_v themselves_o with_o keep_v man_n away_o from_o the_o sacrament_n without_o proceed_v unto_o censure_n and_o debar_v they_o other_o communion_n at_o least_o that_o of_o common_a familiarity_n to_o make_v they_o ashamed_a i_o know_v many_o happy_o may_v
