The doctrine of instituted churches explained and proved from the word of God

There is no need of a particular Institution, who shall have the Power of Judgment, to determine whether a Person be to be censured or not; it is a part of Rule, and where God appoints Rulers in his Church, he appoints that they shall Judge these matters; therefore when Christ appoints a Pastor to be a Ruler in the Church; he expresses it by having Power of binding and loosing, Matth. 16.19.

A Person that is under Church censures, is not thereby cut off from his Membership, he stands in a Brotherly relation to other Members of the Church, 2 Thess. 3.15. Lying under offence and under censure for his offence, doth not deprive him of his Visible Saintship, therefore his Children are to be Baptized.

Such offences as are of a more Heinous Nature, don't call for Church censures, provided there be a suitable Spirit of Repentance; if the end of censures be obtained, there is no occasion for them; Persons under the sentence of Excommunication, are not only to be debarred from the Lords Supper, but also to be excluded from the familiar Society of the People of God; where there is no special Bond, we are not to have that Society with them, that we may have with Heathens, 1 Cor. 5.9,12.

Such offences as are of a more Heinous Nature, don't call for Church censures, provided there be a suteable Spirit of Repentance; if the end of censures be obtained, there is no occasion for them; Persons under the sentence of Excommunication, are not only to be debarred from the Lords Supper, but also to be exclued from the familiar Society of the People of God; where there is no special Bond, we are not to have that Society with them, that we may have with Heathens,
