I. THE Appeals of the Church of Rochel from the Synod, of Anjou, about their pretended Claim to Monsieur de la None, as also that of the Church of Castle-Gautier, are both evacuated and disannulled.

II. An Appeal being brought by the Colloquy of Higher Rouargue, for that the Provincial Synod of Figeac and Castres had ordained the Provincial Synods to be held at this time in the Colloquies of Albigeois, Lauragais, and Lower Quercy only; this Assembly declareth, That for time coming, the Di∣scipline shall be expresly followed, and that the next Provincial Synod shall be held in the Town of Millaud; but on this condition, that unless the said Colloquy do send their Deputies unto the said Provincial Synod, they shall then forfeit their Right.

III. The Appeal of Monsieur Croiseit from the Synod of Guyenne was made void, because it was against the Discipline, and for that he hath not appear∣ed at this Synod in Person.

IV. This Assembly declareth the Appeal of the Church of Metz and Ver∣dun to be good and valid, and ordaineth, that they shall be incorporated with the Colloquy of Montauban.

V. Forasmuch as Monsieur Quentin receiveth a very small Salary from his Church, and hath been many Years in their Service, this Assembly confirms the Decree of the Lower Languedoc, granting him a License to Teach Youth for his better maintenance.

VI. The Differences between the Synods of Higher Languedoc, and the Lower Guyenne, about the Churches of Nerac, Leirac, and others of the Lower Armagnac, are dismissed over by this Assembly to be finally decided by the next National Synod.

VII. Monsieur Galoy shall be returned to his Church of Barjac, provided they pay him within three Months all his Arrears, and therefore the Sentence past by his Provincial Synod against him, is declared null and void.

VIII. The Appeal of the Upper Poictou, pretending Right to the Ministry of Monsieur Caynard was made void, because the Elder of the Church of Fi∣geac desisted of his own accord from prosecuting of his Appeal, and that this Assembly had ordained his continuance in the Church of Fontenay.

IX. The Elders of the Church of Montpellier appealing from their Provin∣cial Synod, because their Judgment was not demanded upon the Proposition made by Monsieur Peyrol their Proposant; this Assembly declares, That the Elders have not any Right of appealing in such a Case, till they have first communicated it with their Pastors in Consistory; and it ordains, that in all Propositions the Suffrages of the Elders shall be gathered; but whenas the Debate is about Points of Doctrine, the decision of them is vested by the Di∣scipline wholly in the Ministers.

X. Those of Florensack bringing their Appeal from the Provincial Synod of Lower Languedoc, this Assembly judgeth, That Monsieur De Croy doth of Right appertain unto the Church of Florensac as their own Minister, but by reason of the great Necessities of the Churches, it is decreed, That he shall serve both his own, and the Church of Beziers alternatively, so that the Pro∣vincial Synod allow him an Assistant.
