Sect. 4. Consulters with witches are not to be tolerated, but either to be cut of by death, or by banishment. Lev. 20. 6. And the soul that hturneth after familiar spirits and after wizards, to go a whoring after them: I will even set my face against that very soul, and I will cut him off from among my people.

Sect. 5. Heresy (which is the maintenance of some wicked error, overthrowing the foundation of our christian Religion, ⟨p. 20⟩with obstinacy) if it be joined with endeavour to seduce others thereunto; to be punished with death. Because such an heretic (no less then an Idolater) seeketh to thrust the souls of men from the Lord thy God. Deut. 13. 10. 13. And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he dye; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from Jehovah thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house iof bondage.
