Puritan Board Junior
A discussion came up in Sunday School today concerning the sentence, "Nor doth their communion one with another as saints, take away or infringe the title or propriety which each man hath in his goods and possessions." There are a few versions (an old PCUS printing from the 1960's and the Free Presbyterian Church of Ireland) that use the word "property" instead of "propriety."
The teacher felt it should be property, but I think that the majority of editions using propriety are correct. To me "property in his goods and possessions" just does not seem like the way the divines would have put it.
