practice_n of_o the_o greek_a church_n urge_v i_o say_v what_o be_v that_o to_o we_o when_o it_o be_v not_o agreeable_a to_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o first_o apostolical_a church_n of_o christ_n for_o upon_o the_o like_a ground_n on_o which_o they_o make_v four_o degree_n of_o excommunication_n they_o may_v have_v bring_v in_o ten_o and_o therefore_o not_o so_o much_o their_o practice_n as_o the_o ground_n thereof_o be_v to_o be_v regard_v in_o this_o point_n but_o then_o the_o doctor_n add_v that_o if_o this_o admit_v of_o the_o excommunicate_v to_o be_v present_a at_o all_o ordinance_n be_v a_o error_n it_o be_v out_o of_o indulgence_n and_o a_o error_n on_o the_o right_a hand_n for_o whereas_o he_o exclude_v from_o one_o ordinance_n he_o may_v exclude_v from_o all_o according_a to_o mr._n h._n tenant_n etc._n etc._n 1._o to_o this_o i_o answer_v right_a hand_n error_n be_v evil_a as_o well_o as_o leave_v and_o to_o be_v take_v heed_n of_o and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v plead_v for_o but_o to_o be_v reform_v 2._o suspension_n from_o the_o sacrament_n only_o be_v no_o legal_a censure_n 1._o because_o it_o have_v no_o ground_n nor_o foot_n in_o the_o word_n 2._o because_o it_o be_v the_o same_o with_o excommunication_n according_a to_o the_o doctor_n own_o principle_n and_o practice_n for_o he_o allow_v presence_n at_o all_o the_o ordinance_n in_o the_o church_n in_o both_o and_o his_o proceed_n in_o order_n to_o both_o be_v the_o same_o and_o he_o and_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o opinion_n and_o way_n not_o come_v up_o to_o the_o true_a nature_n of_o church_n censure_n do_v as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v hinder_v the_o end_n of_o censure_n which_o be_v that_o the_o person_n censure_v may_v either_o be_v ashamed_a and_o penitent_a and_o so_o return_v to_o christian_a obedience_n or_o else_o renounce_v their_o profession_n and_o turn_v apostate_n thus_o i_o humble_o conceive_v mr._n h._n tenant_n be_v no_o bloody_a tenant_n but_o a_o most_o merciful_a way_n and_o mean_n set_v up_o in_o the_o church_n and_o left_a to_o be_v use_v as_o the_o last_o remedy_n for_o the_o cure_n of_o the_o most_o desperate_a soul_n and_o not_o to_o use_v this_o remedy_n according_a to_o its_o nature_n and_o true_a intent_n of_o christ_n therein_o be_v to_o deprive_v the_o obstinate_a offendor_n of_o the_o only_a mean_n leave_v of_o his_o amendment_n and_o salvation_n and_o so_o be_v indeed_o far_o from_o be_v a_o error_n on_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o yet_o by_o the_o way_n to_o express_v my_o thought_n a_o little_a further_o i_o hold_v that_o all_o unnecessary_o friendly_a familiarity_n with_o scandalous_a disorderly_a brethren_n that_o sin_n out_o of_o wilfulness_n whether_o they_o be_v under_o church_n induigence_n trial_n
