This Rule is very judicious, to hinder Ministers from leaving their Flocks slightly, and without permission of those which have power to dispose of their Ministry; this is agreeable to the 3d Canon of the Council of An∣tioch, in the Year 341. which forbids Priests, and Dea∣cons, and all those of the Clergy, to abandon their Churches to go unto others, suspending from the Mini∣stry those that do so; especially, if after being warn'd by their Bishops, they do not speedily return to the Churches which they left; and deposing, without any hope of restoration, those which shall persevere in their Disobedience; with menaces to the Bishops which shall receive them, to be censur'd by the Synod according to their Merit; or as the Council of Calcedon will have it, be excommunicated with the Desertors, * 1.1 until such time as they return to their Churches. Add also to this, the 23d of the same Council, with the 18th and 13th of Ancyra.
