Proposition XI.

The determinations of the said Classes and Synods, so far as they are agree∣able to the word, do bind the particular Churches, and all the members there∣of, and that not only materially, but Formally and Authoritatively, so as they are obliged reverently to esteeme of them, and dutifully to submit unto them, not only for the word, but also for the Synods sake.

Sententia Synodica obligat directivè, no•• tamen Juridicè. Norton Resp. ad Apol. pag. 125.

The Admonitions of Synods carry with them the Authority of Je∣sus Christ. Burroughs Iren. ubi suprà.

Synods have power by the grace of Christ not only to give light and counsel in matters of Truth and Practice, but also to command, and enjoine the things to be beleeved and done. Cottons Keyes, pag. 25.

This binding power ariseth not only materially from the weight of the matters imposed, (which are necessary necessitati praecepti, from the word,) but also formally from the Authority of the Synod, which being an Ordinance of Christ, bindeth the more for the Synods sake. Idem. Ibid.
