CHAP. VI. Of the casting out of the Synagogue.
The casting out of the Synagogue is understood by Interpreters and others to be an excommunication ⟨image 14⟩from the Church assemblies, and not a civill punishment. Eight considerations to prove this. That he who was cast out of the Synagogue was shut out, not only from the company and fellowship of men, but from the place of public sacred assemblies. It cannot be proved, that he who was cast out of the Synagogue was free to enter into the Temple. The casting out of the Synagogue was abused by the Pharisees, as the casting out of the Church by Diotrephes.
