91. (Book 91)
For the Nationall Synod ought to declare, and that with
greatest reverence, to the Magistrate, the grounds of their sen∣tence,
and the reasons of their proceedings, when he deman∣deth
or enquireth into the same, and desireth to be satisfied: but
if the Magistrate nevertheless do dissent, or cannot by con∣trary
reasons (which may be brought, if he please) move
the Synod to alter their judgment, yet may he require, and pro∣cure,
that the matter be again debated and canvassed in another
National Synod; and so the reasons on both sides being
throughly weighed, may be lawfully determined in an Eccle∣siastical
way.
