If not, upon what account is this morally-serious profession to be accepted as satisfying, p. 99. That this moral seriousness is sufficient, confirmed by several reasons, p. 100, 101, 102, 103, 104. Some differences betwixt the key of Doctrine and the key of Discipline are assigned for further confirming of this, p 104 105, 106, 107. That such a profession was satisfying for admitting to Ordinances amongst the Jews after uncleanness, and therefore ought to be so now, proved, p. 107, 108.

Concerning what is to be done when men appear neither serious nor obstinate, p. 109.

CHAP. 12.
Concerning what ought to be done by private persons, when Church-officers spare such as are scandalous, p▪ 126, 127, 128. They are to continue in the discharge of the duties of their stations, and not to separate from the communion of the Church, nor withdraw from the Ordinances, but to count themselves exonerated in holding fast their own integrity, since their consciences are not defiled by the presence of scandalous persons, as is cleared by several pregnant arguments, p. 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135. For further confirming of this, there is a particular consideration of 1 Cor. 11. v. 17, 18, &c. p. 136, 137, 138, 139, 140.
CHAP. 13.
Showing more particularly what it is that private persons are called unto in such a case, p. 141, 142.
