Inasmuch as it is not lawful nor expedient to go hear the Preachers of the Church of Rome, or others that intrude themselves without being lawfully called, the Flocks shall be hinder'd by the Ministers from going thither; and those that will go, shall be summon'd before the Consistory, and sensur'd as the case shall require.
It's above Thirteen Hundred years ago, that the Council of Laodicea made this Decree; Those which are Members of the Church shall not be permitted to go to Church yards nor to Oratories of any Hereticks whatsoever, either to Pray, or to obtain the healing of any Sickness; but the Believers that have so done shall for a time be deprived of the Holy Communion, and upon confessing and repenting their fault, shall afterwards be restor'd again.
