14. In these gross offences the Spirit of God doth not only forsake him in respect of Consolation, but its a Command laid upon the Church-Officers, to cast such an one out of their society, as 1 Cor. 6. neither may the people of God have any familiar communion or acquaintance with such: now what horror and trembling may justly arise in such a mans heart, who shall thus be cast out of all gracious Privileges, and that by Gods appointment? What darkness must this work in his heart, when he shall argue thus with himself; Its Gods command I should not be admitted to the Seals of his love; he hath given his Officers charge to pour no oil in my wounds; how can I plead for the grace signified, when he denieth me the Seals thereof? God hath shut ⟨p. 209⟩me out like the unclean leper, and whither shall I go? Now then, if the Church of God make such a vast difference between him and others, and that following the directions of Christ. Ought not the person offending also to judge the same things about himself?
