A16691 The rasing of the foundations of Brovvnisme Wherein, against all the writings of the principall masters of that sect, those chiefe conclusions in the next page, are, (amongst sundry other matters, worthie the readers knowledge) purposely handled, and soundely prooued. Also their contrarie arguments and obiections deliberately examined, and clearly refelled by the word of God. Bredwell, Stephen. 1588 (1588) STC 3599; ESTC S106388 120,820 166

2_o to_o the_o second_o it_o be_v untrue_a that_o you_o say_v the_o law_n compel_v all_o above_o xvi_o year_n old_a without_o any_o exception_n to_o communicate_v for_o the_o law_n intend_v a_o

without_o discern_v for_o both_o we_o may_v and_o do_v debar_v those_o that_o be_v notorious_o know_v to_o be_v in_o life_n offensive_a and_o do_v both_o inquire_v and_o be_v ready_a to_o receive_v

by_o a_o eldership_n than_o i_o grant_v so_o much_o of_o your_o second_o point_n also_o 3_o herehence_a you_o ask_v whether_o christian_n be_v to_o join_v and_o partake_v as_o one_o body_n with_o they_o in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v unreform_v i_o answer_v that_o in_o respect_n of_o outward_a join_n and_o partake_v we_o may_v and_o ought_v not_o to_o withdraw_v ourselves_o for_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o wicked_a my_o reason_n be_v these_o first_o because_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o wicked_a hinder_v not_o the_o celebration_n of_o the_o riter_n of_o christ_n nor_o the_o communicate_v of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n to_o the_o faithful_a one_o i_o prove_v that_o thus_o if_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o wicked_a shall_v hinder_v the_o action_n we_o must_v grant_v that_o their_o presence_n do_v it_o either_o in_o respect_n of_o itself_o simple_o
scope_n be_v see_v let_v we_o take_v also_o a_o short_a view_n of_o the_o handle_n of_o his_o matter_n set_v down_o discipline_n first_o in_o two_o point_n 37._o as_o if_o he_o will_v begin_v at_o the_o two_o main_a head_n thereof_o he_o make_v the_o gather_n of_o a_o church_n one_o and_o the_o guide_n of_o it_o the_o other_o as_o though_o you_o may_v understande_v how_o the_o light_n of_o the_o fire_n can_v be_v before_o there_o be_v fire_n the_o use_n of_o a_o instrument_n before_o the_o instrument_n be_v form_n and_o the_o action_n of_o a_o live_a thing_n before_o the_o same_o live_a thing_n be_v engender_v but_o in_o these_o dispute_v of_o discipline_n the_o man_n must_v be_v remember_v that_o we_o speak_v not_o of_o discipline_n at_o random_n but_o strict_o of_o the_o discipline_n of_o a_o church_n which_o therefore_o have_v continual_a relation_n to_o a_o church_n as_o have_v the_o action_n of_o a_o man_n to_o a_o man_n can_v no_o more_o be_v presuppose_v to_o be_v the_o discipline_n of_o a_o church_n before_o the_o same_o church_n be_v then_o can_v the_o action_n of_o any_o man_n be_v ascribe_v unto_o he_o or_o report_v of_o he_o before_o the_o man_n himself_o that_o shall_v do_v they_o be_v beget_v but_o if_o he_o will_v needs_o have_v the_o gather_n of_o a_o church_n to_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o discipline_n together_o what_o part_n will_v he_o refer_v it_o unto_o for_o hereby_o we_o shall_v find_v he_o as_o far_o at_o odds_n with_o himself_o as_o he_o be_v with_o the_o truth_n his_o division_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n which_o he_o take_v to_o differ_v nothing_o from_o the_o discipline_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v you_o have_v hear_v before_o what_o part_n thereof_o be_v the_o gather_n of_o a_o church_n to_o be_v refer_v unto_o perhaps_o he_o will_v answer_v the_o last_o part_n namely_o separation_n but_o alas_o poor_a man_n he_o forget_v that_o his_o own_o definition_n have_v quite_o debar_v he_o all_o such_o escape_n for_o 48._o separation_n say_v he_o of_o the_o wilful_a or_o grievous_a offender_n be_v a_o duetifulnesse_n of_o the_o church_n in_o withhold_v from_o they_o the_o christian_a communion_n and_o fellowship_n by_o pronounce_v and_o show_v the_o christian_n communion_n to_o be_v break_v by_o their_o grievous_a wickedness_n and_o that_o with_o mourning_n fast_v and_o prayer_n for_o they_o and_o denounce_v god_n judgement_n against_o they_o and_o this_o he_o call_v not_o separation_n from_o the_o profane_a world_n but_o separation_n from_o the_o church_n the_o same_o he_o say_v of_o the_o other_o two_o part_n try_v out_o wickedness_n and_o rebuke_n they_o be_v duty_n of_o the_o church_n say_v he_o therefore_o the_o church_n be_v presuppose_v first_o to_o be_v say_v i_o and_o so_o he_o in_o this_o dissent_v both_o from_o truth_n and_o from_o himself_o show_v that_o nothing_o but_o the_o spirit_n of_o lie_n do_v lead_v he_o observe_v and_o why_o do_v he_o say_v the_o church_n must_v be_v gather_v of_o the_o worthy_a and_o not_o rather_o of_o believer_n according_a to_o the_o usual_a speech_n of_o the_o scripture_n forsooth_o he_o know_v that_o if_o he_o grant_v the_o
