nothing_o can_v be_v more_o proper_a to_o do_v it_o than_o a_o text_n of_o scripture_n observe_v the_o axiom_n a_o man_n m●y_o lawful_o promise_v to_o do_v every_o thing_n he_o may_v lawful_o do_v now_o the_o instance_n our_o saviour_n command_v if_o any_o man_n compel_v i_o to_o go_v a_o mile_n with_o he_o to_o carry_v his_o burden_n to_o go_v with_o he_o twain_o from_o which_o he_o infer_v but_o be_v it_o therefore_o lawful_a for_o i_o to_o promise_v this_o man_n to_o be_v his_o pack_n horse_n all_o my_o life_n and_o to_o starve_v my_o wi●e_n and_o child_n etc._n etc._n no_o no_o by_o no_o mean_n lawful_a beside_o you_o can_v be_v a_o packhorse_n and_o your_o own_o instance_n will_v not_o let_v you_o be_v worse_o than_o a_o infidel_n there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o lawful_o promise_v and_o be_v compel_v to_o do_v any_o thing_n and_o therefore_o your_o instance_n be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n i_o can_v find_v no_o power_n of_o conviction_n in_o it_o and_o i_o be_o afraid_a it_o be_v like_o a_o estate_n leave_v in_o our_o late_a diego_n wickhams_n '_o will_n because_o all_o compulsion_n take_v away_o the_o liberty_n of_o do_v or_o not_o do_v promise_v to_o do_v or_o not_o do_v signify_v nothing_o when_o i_o be_o force_v or_o hinder_v beside_o your_o inference_n be_v a_o unlawful_a action_n and_o you_o can_v lawful_o promise_v therefore_o you_o be_v

may_v lawful_o promise_v to_o assist_v my_o neighbour_n to_o carry_v his_o burden_n and_o therefore_o i_o may_v lawful_o do_v it_o for_o any_o thing_n i_o know_v our_o noter_fw-la may_v be_v a_o

you_o mr._n johnson_n i_o have_v no_o prejudice_n against_o your_o person_n i_o will_v neither_o lessen_v your_o merit_n nor_o suffering_n but_o i_o be_o in_o the_o way_n of_o writing_n mr._n

which_o be_v more_o positive_a perhaps_o than_o old_a bracton_n will_v have_v say_v so_o i_o by_o myself_o i_o say_v that_o your_o instance_n be_v wrong_a therefore_o i_o will_v mind_v the_o process_n out_o of_o this_o long_a and_o true_o impertinent_a story_n i_o put_v this_o short_a case_n it_o be_v certain_o lawful_a for_o i_o to_o submit_v to_o this_o usage_n when_o i_o can_v not_o help_v it_o but_o i_o have_v deserve_v to_o die_v the_o death_n of_o a_o dog_n and_o have_v betray_v the_o right_n of_o a_o englishman_n if_o i_o have_v enter_v into_o engagement_n to_o abide_v by_o it_o observe_v the_o consequence_n therefore_o a_o man_n may_v not_o lawful_o promise_v to_o do_v every_o thing_n which_o he_o may_v lawful_o do_v o_o profound_a logician_n now_o i_o will_v fain_o

this_o be_v so_o pretty_a a_o instance_n that_o i_o can_v choose_v but_o repeat_v it_o once_o more_o it_o be_v certain_o lawful_a for_o i_o to_o submit_v to_o this_o usage_n when_o i_o can_v not_o
