Conformity of the ecclesiastical discipline of the Reformed churches of France with that of the primitive Christians written by M. La Rocque ... ; render'd into English by Jos. Walker.

XXXIII.

Ministers lent, when the time for which they were lent is expired, they shall return to the service of the Churches from whence they went.

CONFORMITY.

When a Church for some time borrows the Ministry of a Pastor which is setled in another Church, which consented to this Loan, there's no need to doubt but that when the time of Loan is expired, he may re-en∣ter into the Church which lent him, and which in lending him, did not disclaim their Right in him. In the Primitive Church, at the very instant a Flock was provided of a Pastor, he that visited it in the time of its Widowhood, that is to say, whilst 'twas without a Conductor, returned no more to it, and exercised the Functions of his Ministry no where but in his own Church.
