Quest. 66. If a man be injuriously suspended or Excommunicated by the Pastor or people, which way shall he have remedy?
Answ. AS is aforesaid in case of male-administration; 1. By admonishing the Pastor or those that wrong him. 2. By consulting Neighbour Pastors, that they may admonish him; 3. By the help of Rulers, where such are, and the Churches good forbids it not. 4. In case of extremity by removing to a Church that will not so injure you. And what needs there any more, save patience?
Quest. 67. Doth presence always make us guilty of the errors or faults of the Pastor in Gods worship, or of the Church? Or in what cases are we guilty?
Quest. 67. Doth presence alwayes make us guilty of the errours or faults of the Pastor in Gods worship, or of the Church? Or in what cases are we guilty?
Answ. 1. IF it always made us guilty no man could join with any Pastor or Church in the world, without being a wilful sinner. Because no man worshippeth God without sin, in matter or manner, omission or commission.
