A91314	A vindication of foure serious questions of grand importance, concerning excommunication and suspention from the sacrament of the Lords Supper, from some misprisions and unjust exceptions lately taken against them; both in the pulpit, by a reverend brother of Scotland, in a sermon at Margarets Church in Westminster, before the Honourable House of Commons, at a publike fast there held for Scotland, on the 5th of September last: and in the presse, by three new-printed pamphlets, by way of answer to, and censure of them. Wherein some scripture texts, (commonly reproduced for excommunication, and bare suspention from the Lords Supper onely,) are cleared from false glosses, inferences, conclusions wrested from them; ... / By William Prynne of Lincolns Inne, Esquire.

eat_v with_o they_o at_o the_o lord_n table_n therefore_o this_o argument_n in_o point_n of_o logic_n and_o divinity_n be_v as_o infirm_a and_o absurd_a as_o any_o of_o the_o former_a yet_o how_o many_o thousand_o as_o well_o scholar_n as_o ignorant_n have_v be_v overreach_v with_o it_o so_o far_o as_o to_o make_v they_o separate_v not_o only_o from_o our_o sacrament_n but_o congregation_n too_o now_o because_o thi●_z gross_a fallacious_a inconsequence_n in_o my_o apprehension_n be_v one_o principle_n cause_n and_o prop_n of_o independency_n yea_o of_o separation_n from_o our_o church_n sacrament_n and_o have_v mislead_v so_o many_o especal_o of_o late_a year_n i_o shall_v a_o little_a further_o examine_v it_o with_o relation_n to_o the_o text_n on_o which_o it_o be_v ground_v and_o further_o lay_v open_a both_o the_o falseness_n and_o absurdity_n thereof_o to_o all_o man_n judgment_n and_o conscience_n first_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o this_o text_n be_v mean_v only_o of_o civil_a conversation_n eat_v and_o drink_v not_o of_o spiritual_a as_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v i_o will_v then_o demand_v these_o two_o question_n of_o the_o objector_n first_o whether_o this_o text_n prohibit_v all_o kind_n of_o civil_a communion_n and_o eat_v at_o table_n with_o any_o christian_n who_o be_v railer_n fornicator_n idolater_n covetous_a person_n extortioner_n or_o drunkard_n under_o pain_n of_o mortal_a sin_n if_o yea_o than_o it_o be_v a_o damnable_a sin_n in_o the_o objector_n to_o eat_v drink_v or_o converse_v in_o any_o kind_n with_o any_o such_o as_o these_o which_o they_o daily_o do_v without_o any_o scruple_n and_o can_v avoid_v yea_o than_o it_o will_v be_v a_o sin_n against_o this_o text_n for_o a_o wife_n child_n kinsman_n master_n magistrate_n prince_n constant_o to_o converse_v or_o eat_v with_o such_o a_o scandalous_a husband_n parent_n kinsman_n servant_n neighbour_n pastor_n fellowservant_n subject_a or_o they_o reciprocal_o with_o they_o if_o scandalous_a then_o if_o any_o member_n of_o the_o parliament_n or_o of_o any_o corporation_n college_n inn_n of_o court_n or_o the_o like_a shall_v but_o eat_v together_o at_o meal_n with_o his_o fellow-member_n who_o be_v thus_o scandalous_a in_o any_o common-hall_n or_o at_o any_o ordinary_a or_o corporation-feast_n they_o shall_v sin_v against_o this_o text_n which_o i_o never_o yet_o

with_o who_o saint_n paul_n prohibit_v they_o no_o not_o to_o eat_v which_o precept_n christ_n himself_o and_o his_o apostle_n shall_v have_v transgress_v in_o 16._o eat_v and_o drink_v with_o

christian_n in_o case_n of_o necessity_n and_o expediency_n where_o either_o our_o natural_a civil_a relation_n or_o common_a civility_n engage_v we_o to_o it_o so_o as_o we_o delight_v not_o intheir_o company_n or_o do_v it_o notvoluntary_o out_o of_o free_a choice_n when_o we_o may_v avoid_v it_o without_o offence_n as_o the_o very_a objector_n i_o suppose_v will_v grant_v and_o s._n paul_n resolve_v ver._n 11._o then_o by_o the_o selfsame_a reason_n it_o can_v be_v no_o offence_n at_o all_o against_o this_o scripture_n to_o eat_v or_o drink_v with_o such_o at_o the_o lord_n table_n at_o this_o his_o public_a feast_n and_o great_a supper_n to_o which_o all_o christian_n be_v inuted_a if_o we_o believe_v christ_n own_o parable_n mat._n 22._o 1._o to_o 15._o and_o isa._n

themselves_o affirm_v that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o hear_v pray_v read_v the_o scripture_n ●ing_v psalm_n repeat_v sermon_n fast_v and_o perform_v all_o other_o christian_n duty_n in_o the_o

objector_n dare_v aver_v that_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n against_o this_o precept_n for_o any_o of_o their_o congregation_n to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n from_o or_o eat_v the_o lord_n supper_n with_o

or_o any_o public_a ordinance_n which_o proceed_v from_o god_n alone_o if_o then_o we_o may_v receive_v the_o sacrament_n from_o and_o eat_v it_o with_o a_o covetous_a minister_n without_o any_o sin_n or_o contradiction_n to_o this_o text_n then_o why_o not_o likewise_o with_o a_o covetous_a neighbour_n or_o fellow-parishioner_n four_o the_o objector_n grant_v that_o a_o christian_n may_v lawful_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n with_o person_n secret_o guilty_a of_o these_o and_o other_o gross_a sin_n with_o close_a hypocrite_n who_o guild_v over_o their_o vice_n and_o unregenerate_a christian_n not_o real_o sanctify_v who_o be_v neither_o ignorant_a nor_o notorious_o scandalous_a in_o their_o life_n without_o scruple_n or_o offence_n against_o this_o text_n therefore_o they_o may_v lawful_o do_v it_o in_o point_n of_o conscience_n with_o such_o who_o be_v notorious_o scandalous_a before_o their_o actual_a conviction_n and_o excommunication_n especial_o if_o they_o profess_v sincere_a

if_o not_o in_o their_o own_o private_a meditation_n prayer_n and_o preparatory_a devotion_n betwixt_o god_n and_o their_o own_o soul_n five_o it_o be_v not_o the_o mere_a guilt_n but_o only_o the_o

shall_v be_v admit_v to_o it_o it_o be_v not_o then_o such_o sinner_n bear_v receive_v with_o we_o or_o we_o with_o they_o that_o can_v any_o way_n hurt_n much_o less_o deter_v or_o keep_v we_o from_o
