28. Persons that are joined in Church-fellowship, ought not lightly or without just cause to withdraw themselves from the communion of the Church whereunto they are so joined: Nevertheless, where any person cannot continue in any Church without his sin, either for want of the Administration of any Ordinances instituted by Christ, or by his being deprived of his due Privileges, or compelled to any thing in practice not warranted by the Word, or in case of Persecution, or upon the account of conveniency of habitation; he consulting with the Church, or the Officer or Officers thereof, may peaceably depart from the communion of the Church, wherewith he has so walked, to join himself with some other Church, where he may enjoy the Ordinances in the purity of the same, for his edification and consolation.
