When a Minister finds himself destitute of a Church, ha∣ving duly obtain'd leave, and his discharge from that which he formerly served, it belongs to the Colloque, or Provincial Synod, to provide for him in a months time; and if in that time he be not provided for by the Synod of the Province, or Colloque, he shall be at his own liberty to provide for himself of a Church any where else, without the Province, where God shall enable him, according to the Rule of the Discipline.
This Rule intimates something more than the for∣mer; for it speaks of Ministers destitute of a Church, after having obtain'd License from those they served, and of having for good and sufficient Causes been remov'd; and who nevertheless are not suffer'd to settle in any other, but by Authority of the Col∣loques, and Synods, according to the Ancient Dis∣cipline.
