If it happens that any Bishop or Curate aspire to the Mi∣nistry of the Gospel, he cannot be Ordain'd until he be first a true Member of the Church, renouncing to all his Benefices, and other dependancies on the Roman-Church, and acknow∣ledging all the faults he has committed for the time past, as he shall be directed by the Consistory; and after long ex∣perience and proof of his Repentance and good Living.
Those whereof there is question in this Rule, being near hand the same with the others whereof I have discoursed in the precedent Article; the same Method must be observed in reference to them, as towards the others; seeing they can be looked upon in the Com∣munion wherein they are lately come, but as new Converts.
