ABOUT THE BAN.

XXXI. That no special person can impose the ban [excommunication] upon any one, except the Church, that is the [full] congregation of those among whom the one to be banned dwells, together with their watchman, i.e., the pastor.
XXXII. That one may ban only him who gives public offence.

Why should sixteen be the only society-sanctioned age
for rebellion? Like wine, rebellion tastes better with age.

from the map doesn't mean it vanishes from the face of the earth.

 Diary of an Old Soul-MacDonald

     My soul this sermon hence for itself prepares:—
     "Then is there nothing vile thou mayst not do,
     Buffeted in a tumult of low cares,
     And treacheries of the old man 'gainst the new."—
     Lord, in my spirit let thy spirit move,
     Warning, that it may not have to reprove:—
     In my dead moments, master, stir the prayers.
