CHAP. VI. A particular Matter about Elders and Deacons.
VIII. MOnsieur* 1.1Vercelle Deputy of Brie declareth unto this Synod, that the Elders and People of Meaux are dissatisfied with the first Article of particular Matters; and complain, that they be deprived of their Freedom and Priviledge in Elections. Whereupon it was advised, that inasmuch as they had been divers times heard, and particularly that by the Synod of La Ferte under Joarre they had been largely instructed in the Will of God from his Holy Word in this Article, Letters should be dispatcht unto them from this Assembly, exhorting them to acquiesce in the Order of Disci∣pline received in our Churches of France, and in case they will yet have the Business heard over once again, they shall apply themselves unto their own Provincial Synod about it.
IX. Under the Second, towards the End, this shall be added, And the said Elders shall be admonished not to declare unto the Consistory their faults without just Cause, and in much Charity, according to the Rule of God's Word.* 1.2 On this Article the Lord-Admiral propounded, That Persons upon the first Report should not be mention'd by Name unto the Consistory, until they had first resolved whether they should be called into it or no. And there was added, That no Person for the first Report ought to be named, unless the Consistory for good and vallid causes should think fitting so to do.
X. Under the Third, towards the End shall be this Addition, If they be fit and in case of want, and hindered by Ministers.
