The committee in consequence, of their appointment wait upon him.

This act is now considered as a public act, or as an act of the church.

It is not now termed admonishing, but changes its name to [17]dealing.

The offender too, while the committee are dealing with him, though he may attend the meetings of the society for worship, does not attend those of their discipline.
[Footnote 16: Certain acts of delinquency are reported to the monthly meeting, as soon as the truth of the facts can be ascertained, such as a violation of the rules of the society, with respect to marriage, payment of tythes, etc.] [Footnote 17: Women, though they may admonish, cannot deal with women, this being an act of the church, till they have consulted the meetings of the men.

Men are generally joined with women in the commission for this purpose.] If the committee, after having dealt with the offender according to their appointment, should be satisfied that he is sensible of his error, they make a report to the monthly court or meeting concerning him.
