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

will_v bring_v another_o more_o agree_v to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n the_o apostle_n paul_n do_v not_o resolve_v by_o himself_o alone_o to_o deliver_v this_o man_n to_o satan_n but_o he_o will_v have_v this_o do_v the_o whole_a church_n be_v gather_v together_o for_o that_o matter_n now_o when_o the_o church_n see_v this_o unhappy_a man_n afflict_v with_o so_o great_a sorrow_n that_o

know_v that_o the_o apostle_n have_v forgive_v his_o punishment_n that_o the_o business_n be_v thus_o carry_v on_o may_v be_v clear_o enough_o gather_v as_o it_o seem_v out_o of_o the_o latter_a

far_o another_o thing_n from_o that_o which_o at_o this_o day_n we_o call_v excommunication_n or_o thrust_v from_o the_o sacrament_n that_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v by_o any_o that_o be_v a_o lover_n or_o knower_n of_o the_o truth_n i_o say_v above_o that_o some_o of_o the_o ancient_n do_v so_o expound_v this_o place_n among_o who_o augustin_n be_v one_o who_o testimony_n i_o produce_v before_o beside_o there_o be_v another_o testimony_n of_o this_o extant_a in_o his_o 1._o book_n of_o the_o lord_n sermon_n upon_o the_o mount_n before_o he_o athanasias_n do_v so_o interpret_v it_o and_o

doctrine_n be_v worthy_a of_o double_a honour_n they_o put_v some_o strength_n and_o firmness_n for_o they_o think_v that_o from_o this_o place_n it_o be_v prove_v that_o there_o be_v some_o presbyter_n that_o be_v not_o occupy_v in_o teach_v but_o they_o attribute_v to_o those_o another_o office_n to_o wit_n to_o censure_v manner_n to_o observe_v sinner_n to_o admonish_v the_o

signify_v a_o office_n and_o not_o age_n be_v the_o same_o in_o the_o apostle_n time_n and_o that_o therefore_o there_o be_v then_o no_o presbyter_n that_o do_v not_o also_o teach_v except_o
