Overtures concerning Appeals in the Assembly, _1643. Sess. 2_ Declare,
that if Appellations, _Post latam sententiam_ be not presented to the
Judicatory when the sentence is pronounced: The party shall then

Ministery, or medling with the stipend._

and order of this Kirk, the Censure of Suspension and Deposition of
Ministers is both _ab officio_ and _a beuoficio_, as is also acknowledged

places they formerly served in; or elsewhere, or do possesse, meddle, or
intromet with the stipend or other benefits whatsoever belonging to these
Kirks they served at, They shall be proceeded against with
Excommunication; And if any suspended Minister during his suspension,
either exercise any part of the Ministeriall Calling, or intromet with the
Stipend, That he be Deposed, And after deposition, continuing in either of
these faults, That he
