word_n st._n paul_n have_v not_o resolve_v to_o deliver_v this_o man_n to_o the_o devil_n by_o himself_o alone_o but_o have_v rather_o have_v it_o do_v in_o a_o full_a congregation_n when_o the_o

can_v not_o prevail_v with_o he_o to_o do_v they_o threaten_v they_o will_v not_o long_o be_v want_v in_o their_o duty_n thus_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v

congregation_n of_o the_o faithful_a albeit_o he_o arrive_v not_o at_o the_o far_a pitch_n of_o internal_a fellowship_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o spirit_n vi_o he_o therefore_o that_o be_v thrust_v out_o from_o external_n communion_n with_o the_o church_n that_o be_v that_o be_v excommunicate_v be_v debar_v all_o three_o or_o two_o or_o but_o one_o of_o they_o but_o now_o from_o the_o two_o first_o to_o wit_n the_o confession_n of_o faith_n and_o assent_v to_o the_o christian_a doctrine_n under_o which_o latter_a i_o will_v include_v hear_v of_o the_o word_n and_o doctrine_n no_o one_o ought_v to_o be_v prohibit_v but_o rather_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n the_o whole_a world_n be_v to_o be_v invite_v and_o by_o all_o the_o allurement_n and_o art_n of_o man_n win_v and_o bring_v into_o these_o there_o be_v nothing_o leave_v then_o but_o that_o he_o who_o be_v excommunicate_v must_v and_o can_v of_o all_o the_o forementioned_a three_o be_v only_o prohibit_v from_o the_o participation_n of_o the_o sacrament_n but_o whether_o the_o debar_v of_o all_o private_a commerce_n be_v a_o unseparable_a appertinent_a of_o this_o or_o the_o one_o may_v be_v without_o the_o other_o will_v be_v a_o after-consideration_n thus_o much_o be_v certain_a that_o no_o other_o punishment_n have_v any_o thing_n to_o do_v with_o this_o excommunication_n as_o to_o the_o substance_n of_o it_o for_o as_o for_o other_o penalty_n they_o may_v as_o well_o be_v inflict_v on_o such_o as_o stand_v not_o excommunicate_a as_o they_o may_v not_o be_v inflict_v on_o such_o as_o stand_v so_o vii_o therefore_o the_o papal_a faction_n over_o and_o beside_o this_o excommunication_n which_o they_o call_v the_o lesser_a and_o right_o define_v it_o by_o a_o bare_a exclusion_n from_o the_o

seclusion_n from_o temple_n from_o all_o private_a commerce_n and_o conversation_n and_o from_o all_o lawful_a transaction_n betwixt_o man_n and_o man_n for_o the_o apostle_n 1_o cor._n 14._o 23._o plain_o show_v that_o neither_o heathen_n nor_o any_o other_o be_v preclude_v from_o hear_v or_o read_v the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o from_o the_o thanksgiving_n or_o prayer_n of_o christian_n viii_o from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v excommunication_n be_v apparent_o nothing_o but_o a_o public_a and_o solemn_a interdiction_n as_o be_v say_v before_o or_o exclusion_n from_o the_o sacrament_n and_o more_o particular_o the_o lord_n supper_n which_o the_o apostle_n call_v peculiarly_a 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d communion_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o sinner_n may_v repent_v and_o be_v again_o readmit_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n ix_o here_o now_o the_o question_n arise_v viz._n whether_o any_o person_n be_v to_o be_v prohibit_v or_o debar_v the_o use_n and_o freedom_n of_o the_o sacrament_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o any_o previous_a sin_n act_v by_o he_o or_o for_o the_o wickedness_n of_o his_o life_n if_o he_o himself_o desire_v to_o take_v the_o sacrament_n with_o other_o christian_n this_o question_n be_v mean_v of_o such_o who_o profess_v the_o same_o christian_a faith_n be_v ingraft_v into_o the_o church_n by_o baptism_n and_o differ_v not_o from_o she_o in_o doctrinal_n as_o we_o say_v sect._n 5._o but_o fail_v in_o point_n of_o morality_n and_o a_o good_a life_n only_o the_o question_n be_v therefore_o this_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o footstep_n in_o holy_a writ_n of_o either_o precept_n or_o example_n whereby_o such_o person_n be_v either_o command_v or_o teach_v to_o be_v debar_v access_n to_o the_o sacrament_n x._o our_o answer_n be_v in_o the_o negative_a that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o and_o that_o rather_o there_o be_v both_o example_n and_o precept_n too_o more_o than_o once_o to_o be_v meet_v with_o in_o the_o bible_n of_o a_o
