And so now in difficult cases, we acknowledge they are bound to advise with other churches, and in case of miscarriages, they are to be advised and admonished by other churches.
But when they do advise that such a man should be excommunicated for such an. act done, they do not add authority to that church. Jesus Christ hath furnished the church with sufficient authority in itself ; only they add counsel, and direction, and countenance; moral strength or countenance they add, but not political p...ower or authorit3^ There is as much power in the church itself, to deal with its own members alone of itself, as in all the churches of the world put together ; but this advice is given but as alms is given to a neighbour church. And again, that advice, as to the object of it, is properly but only to give their judgment of the rule ; it is not a joint put- ting forth the act of administration of an ordinance, in a way of application of the censure to the persons. Neither is a congregation bound up by the in- stitution of Chi-ist to advise, so as, if they do not advise with a neighbour presbytery, the act is null and made void which they do, as, if by Christ's institution it were so that they ought to advise, such their case would be.
