The Form of the Greek Excommunication against Thieves.
If they Restore not to him that which is his own, and possess him peaceably of it, but suffer him to remain Injured and Damnified; Let him be Separate from the Lord God Creator, and be Accursed, and Unpardoned, and undissolvable after Death in this World, and in the other which is to come; let Wood, Stones and Iron be dissolved, but not they: May they Inherit the Leprosie of Gehazi, and the Con∣fusion of Judas; may the Earth be Divided, and Devour them like Dathan and Abiram; may they Sigh and Tremble on Earth like Cain, and the Wrath of God be upon their Heads and Countenances; may they see nothing of that for which they Labour, and Beg their Bread all the Days of their Lives; may their Works, Possessions, Labours, and Services be Accursed, always without Effect or Success, and blown away like Dust; may they have the Curses of the Holy and Righte∣ous Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; of the Three Hundred and Eighteen Saints, who were the Divine Fathers of the Synod of Nice; and of all other Holy Synods; and being without the Church of Christ, let no man administer the things of the Church, or Bless them, or give the 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 or the Blessed Bread, or Eat or Drink, or Work with them, or Converse with them; ••nd after Death, let no man Bury them, in penalty of being under the same State of Excom∣munication, for so let them remain until they have performed what is herein Written.
