CHAP. X. A debate with M. Prynne, concerning the exclusion of prophane scandalous persons from the Passeover.
The Analogy of the Law of the Passover, as Master Prynne understandeth it, will militat strongly against that which himself yieldeth. That the unclean might be kept back from the Passover longer then a month. That they were kept back by an authoritative restraint, and were cut off if they did eat in their uncleanness. That some unclean persons were not put out of the camp, nor from the company of men, but from the Tabernacle and holy things only. That all unclean persons were not suspended from all Ordinances. That scandalous and flagitious persons were not admitted to a trespass offering (which was a reconciling Ordinance) much less to the Passover (which was a sealing Ordinance) without a public penitential Confession of their sin. M. Prynnes replies to this argument of min• confuted.
