In a lower sort of Excommunication, the mere Law may require our execution without a sentence: therefore much more in a grosser and plainer case. We must not eat with the scandalous, 1. Cor. 5.11. We must avoid them that cause Division, Rom. 16.17. We must note such men as are disobedient, and have no company with them, that they may be ashamed: yea, we are flatly commanded in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that we withdraw our selves from every brother that walketh disorderly, 2 Thes. 3.6, 14. All this we must do, though no Ecclesiastical Judge do sentence them, when the case is notorious. We must reject a known Heretic after the first and second admonition: we must turn away from wicked Livers, though they have a form of Godliness, 2 Tim. 3:5.
