This is a Command to the Church, consequently to the Head of the Church, for all Commands from God come to her through' her Head. Whence I conclude, that as Israel of old was to receive the run-away Servant, who escaped from a nether ••ster to them; and should not dare to ser•• him ⟨p. 141⟩back to his Master again: So Christ's Church now, and consequently Christ himself, may not, will not refuse that Soul that hath made his Escape from Sin, Satan, the World and Hell unto him; but certainly let him dwell in his House among his Saints, in that Place which he shall choose even where it liketh him best: For he say in another Place, And him that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out. In no wise, let his Crimes be what •hey will, either for Nature, Multitude, or the Attendance of aggravating Circumstances.
