Ecclesiastical censure, which is not proper to Ministers, but common to them with other Members of the Church, is either suspension from the Lords Supper, (which by others is called the Publicans Excommunication,) or the cutting off of a Member, which is commonly called Excommunication. The distinction of this twofold censure (commonly, though not so properly passing under the name of the lesser and greater Excommunication) is not only much approved by the Church of Scotland, and the Synod now assembled at Westminster, but also by the Reformed Churches of France, the Low-countries, and of Pole-land, as is to be seen in the book of the Ecclesiastic Discipline of the Reformed Churches in France. Chap. 5. Art. 9. In the harmony of the Belgic Synods. Chap. 14. Art. 8. 9. In the Canons of the general Synod of Torn, held in the year 1597.
