Unto whom the declaration and denouncing of Gods Word is committed, to them also is committed the power of the Keys. The denouncing and publishing the anger and favour of God, which is performed in the preaching of the Gospel, is committed unto the Ministers: For the preaching of the Gospel is committed to them alone. But that denouncing, which is exercised in Church discipline, belongeth to the whole Church: For unto the whole Church doth discipline and spiritual jurisdiction belong. Now the denouncing and declaration which is used in the ministry of Gods word, is done after another manner than in the Church discipline. In the ministry of the word, the anger of God the word going before, is by every Pastor alone or Minister of the word privately denounced against all ungodly, unbelieving, and unrepenting persons: namely, that they are exiled from the Kingdom of Christ, as long as they repent not, neither live according to the prescript rule of the Gospel. And again, if they repent, the grace and favour of God, and remission of sins, is by the same Pastors and Ministers signified and declared out of the Word of God unto them.
