CONFORMITY.

Because it may so sall out, that a Church which shall have lent one of her Ministers, does not recall him after the Expiration of time for which he was lent, no diffi∣culty is made of translating him wholly to the Church which had borrowed him, the silence of the other being then look'd upon as a kind of Consent. Which also is to be appli'd to those which joining themselves to other Churches by reason of Persecution, are not re∣demanded by theirs when the Persecution is over; for on these occasions, it is as much as if they had granted unto them those Letters of Congé which the Ancients called Dimissoria's, with the which a Church-man could serve in another Church, in the same Province, or in any other.
