As for Mr. Colemans answer that [Greek or Hebrew] amounts to no more but an objurgation, I have fully confuted that in Male audis pag. 12. 13. 14. which I will not resume. But beside all I said there, I add somewhat which I have since observed. Zonaras in Conc. Antioch. can. 22. useth [Greek or Hebrew] for to be punished or censured: and in Conc. Carthag. can. 49. he calls the man who is under Church-censure, [Greek or Hebrew]. Balsamon in Conc. Carthag. can. 46. calls him [Greek or Hebrew]. Both of them do often use [Greek or Hebrew] for Church-censure, as in the place last cited, [Greek or Hebrew]. Yea the Council of Antioch held under Constantius, useth Pauls word [Greek or Hebrew] to express Ecclesiastical censure, and an act of corrective government. Can. 3. It is said of him that receiveth a Presbyter or Deacon being justly deposed, [Greek or Hebrew], ille quoque à communi Synodo puniatur, ut qui Ecclesiastica statuta dissolvat. Ibid. Can. 22. A Bishop is prohibit to ordain within the charge of another Bishop, unless that other Bishop consent. But if any presume to do such a thing, let the ordination be void or null, [Greek or Hebrew], & ipse a Synodo puniatur, and let himself be punished by the Synod: [Greek or Hebrew] saith Balsamen, how they should be punished who ordain without the bounds of their own charge, and without consent of him whose charge it is, may be learned from other Canons. Where you see he understands [Greek or Hebrew] to agree in signification with [Greek or Hebrew], which is ⟨p. 279⟩punishment. The sixth general Council Can. 60. useth the verb [Greek or Hebrew] for suffering punishment, adding also by way of explanation [Greek or Hebrew], to be subject to afflictions and labours.
