Male audis or An answer to Mr. Coleman his Malè dicis. Wherein the repugnancy of his Erastian doctrine to the word of God, to the solemn League and Covenant, and to the ordinances of Parliament: also his contradictions, tergiversations, heterodoxies, calumnies, and perverting of testimonies, are made more apparent then formerly. Together with some animadversions upon Master Hussey his Plea for Christian magistracy: showing, that in divers of the afore mentioned particulars he hath miscarried as much, and in some particulars more then Mr Coleman. / By George Gillespie, minister at Edinburgh.

4. What saith Master Coleman to Pasor, who expounds [Greek or Hebrew] to be the same with [Greek or Hebrew], mulcta, and that 2 Cor. 2. 6. it is meant of excommunication, which he proves by this reason, Because in the same place the Apostle exhort the Corinthians to forgive him. Add hereunto Erasmus his Observation upon the word [Greek or Hebrew], (vers. 8. to confirm your love towards him) that it implies an authoritative ratification of a thing by judicial suffrage and sentence. Which well agreeth to the [Greek or Hebrew] vers. 6. that is, that they who had judicially censured him, should also judicially loose him and make him free. Now therefore the circumstances and context being observed, and the practice 2 Cor. 2. 6. compared with the precept 1 Cor. 5. 13. I conclude that whether this [Greek or Hebrew] was Excommunication already inflicted, or whether it was a lesser degree of Censure tending to Excommunication; a Censure it was, and more ⟨p. 14⟩then ministerial objurgation. And it is rightly rendered by the1 English Translators punishment or censure. Which well agreeth with the signification of the Verb [Greek or Hebrew], given us by Hesychius, and by Julius Pollux who makes [Greek or Hebrew] to punish or chastise, and [Greek or Hebrew] punishment or chastisement. Clemens Alexandrinus useth [Greek or Hebrew] as well as [Greek or Hebrew] pro poena vel supplicio. So Stephanus in Thes. Ling. Gr. From all which it may appear that the Text in hand holds forth a corrective Church-government, in the hands of Church-officers; the thing which Master Coleman denieth.
