Books for which purpose wimeeting to consider the case of Girzal Boyter ( guilty of antenuptial fornication, & praying to be taken on discipline) in which there was this Speciality, that the privileges to which she had been restored, she intended to partake not in the Established Church, but in another Congregation, to which her husband, Eben[eze]r Coldwell, belonged, that he had doubt this might be ascertained from herself - She being in waiting, was accordingly called in & interrogated, and by her answers, fully confirmed it. The Session, having desired her to withdraw, after all due consideration of the case, resolved unanimously , to refuse discipline for the following reasons,
1st That tho' they wish to exercise no sort of restraint to prevent her from following her inclination to become a member of a different community, it appears to them contrary to the very object of discipline, to grant it to her, in a s much as it is a privilege administered only to those who are really & truly members of their own congregation, and not to those who expressed intention it is to follow a divisive course, especially if it be to facilitate their doing so.
2ndly That it appears most for edification, which certainly is the end of all discipline that it be received in the Congregation in which religious privileges are permanently to be enjoyed - She being called in, this resolution was intimated to her.'
