may_v be_v a_o lawful_a use_n of_o equivocal_a speech_n in_o every_o of_o these_o kind_n if_o they_o be_v not_o extend_v too_o far_o or_o misapplyed_n to_o a_o wrong_a cause_n for_o to_o speak_v more_o particular_o it_o be_v grant_v 1._o that_o we_o may_v lawful_o use_v word_n which_o may_v indifferent_o be_v take_v in_o diverse_a acception_n and_o meaning_n as_o they_o be_v then_o use_v and_o this_o be_v plain_a partly_o because_o the_o scripture_n be_v full_a of_o such_o speech_n and_o partly_o because_o our_o common_a conversation_n and_o life_n can_v be_v without_o they_o 2._o it_o be_v not_o unlawful_a when_o some_o case_n of_o further_a good_a do_v require_v it_o to_o use_v these_o ambiguous_a speech_n in_o the_o less_o know_v and_o common_a signification_n and_o in_o another_o meaning_n than_o it_o be_v likely_a the_o hearer_n will_v understand_v they_o for_o the_o present_a for_o so_o when_o our_o lord_n say_v lazarus_n our_o friend_n sleep_v 11._o he_o mean_v that_o he_o be_v dead_a which_o be_v the_o less_o common_a and_o know_a signification_n and_o therefore_o the_o disciple_n according_a to_o the_o more_o usual_a meaning_n understand_v he_o of_o natural_a sleep_n and_o he_o do_v this_o for_o good_a purpose_n and_o for_o the_o profit_n of_o the_o hearer_n that_o they_o may_v hereby_o learn_v either_o that_o death_n in_o general_n be_v to_o god_n child_n but_o as_o a_o sleep_n by_o which_o they_o be_v refresh_v and_o make_v the_o more_o lively_a or_o that_o this_o death_n of_o lazarus_n be_v rather_o to_o be_v call_v asleep_a than_o a_o death_n because_o he_o be_v so_o speedy_o raise_v from_o it_o again_o 3_o it_o be_v not_o unlawful_a if_o there_o be_v just_a cause_n for_o conceal_v of_o a_o truth_n to_o use_v a_o ambiguous_a speech_n in_o any_o of_o these_o kind_n that_o thereby_o we_o may_v hide_v some_o thing_n from_o the_o hearer_n which_o they_o shall_v not_o know_v this_o assertion_n have_v not_o so_o direct_a proof_n from_o scripture_n as_o the_o other_o have_v &_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o without_o all_o proof_n from_o the_o scripture_n neither_o for_o there_o we_o find_v that_o a_o man_n may_v lawful_o utter_v one_o truth_n thereby_o to_o hide_v another_o truth_n from_o the_o hearer_n as_o for_o example_n 2._o god_n appoint_v samuel_n to_o go_v to_o bethleem_n and_o anoint_v one_o of_o jesses_n son_n to_o be_v king_n and_o when_o samuel_n object_v how_o can_v i_o go_v if_o saul_n hear_v it_o he_o will_v kill_v i_o the_o lord_n say_v take_v a_o heifer_n with_o thou_o and_o say_v i_o be_o come_v to_o sacrifice_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o so_o samuel_n do_v as_o it_o follow_v in_o the_o same_o chapter_n and_o by_o this_o he_o conceal_v his_o purpose_n of_o anoint_v a_o new_a king_n which_o be_v the_o special_a intent_n of_o his_o go_v to_o that_o place_n and_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a and_o warrant_v by_o god_n own_o appointment_n to_o utter_v one_o truth_n for_o the_o conceal_n of_o another_o then_o in_o reason_n i_o think_v it_o can_v just_o be_v condemn_v for_o unlawful_a if_o a_o man_n upon_o just_a occasion_n do_v use_v a_o ambiguous_a speech_n in_o a_o true_a sense_n thereby_o to_o hide_v from_o the_o hearer_n something_o which_o he_o shall_v not_o know_v for_o if_o in_o so_o do_v any_o thing_n be_v faulty_a it_o must_v be_v as_o i_o take_v it_o the_o one_o of_o the_o two_o either_o because_o a_o ambiguous_a speech_n be_v use_v in_o another_o meaning_n than_o it_o be_v likely_a the_o hearer_n will_v take_v it_o and_o that_o to_o be_v lawful_a be_v prove_v in_o the_o former_a assertion_n or_o because_o this_o true_a sense_n in_o the_o ambiguous_a speech_n be_v utter_v to_o conceal_v another_o thing_n from_o the_o hearer_n and_o that_o to_o be_v lawful_a be_v clear_a by_o this_o example_n of_o samuel_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v the_o conclusion_n may_v hence_o be_v infer_v that_o it_o be_v not_o unlawful_a if_o there_o be_v just_a cause_n for_o conceal_v of_o a_o truth_n to_o use_v a_o ambiguous_a speech_n that_o thereby_o we_o may_v conceal_v some_o other_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o fit_a to_o be_v utter_v and_o hereto_o agree_v our_o

where_o they_o do_v consist_v of_o ambiguity_n in_o the_o word_n we_o dislike_v not_o only_o if_o they_o be_v cover_v with_o a_o lie_n that_o we_o do_v whole_o condemn_v and_o another_o learned_a

among_o the_o learned_a of_o both_o side_n in_o these_o case_n already_o mention_v as_o perhaps_o about_o some_o circumstance_n in_o the_o use_n of_o those_o ambiguous_a speech_n there_o may_v be_v

such_o speech_n as_o be_v ambiguous_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o diverse_a meaning_n which_o the_o word_n may_v receive_v they_o miss_v the_o mark_n beat_v the_o air_n and_o spend_v their_o labour_n

propriety_n of_o speech_n and_o that_o 15._o the_o verbal_a be_v only_o true_a and_o proper_a equivocation_n for_o that_o mental_a in_o rigour_n be_v none_o and_o again_o that_o 10._o equivocation_n have_v of_o late_a year_n only_o be_v accustom_v to_o be_v use_v in_o this_o sense_n that_o be_v for_o mental_a equivocation_n and_o heissius_n another_o jesuite_n &_o patron_n of_o this_o art_n say_v 129._o that_o their_o mix_a speech_n which_o they_o call_v mental_a equivocation_n be_v not_o proper_o equivocation_n by_o which_o speech_n of_o these_o jesuite_n especial_o see_v the_o one_o of_o they_o be_v a_o man_n so_o well_o see_v in_o this_o art_n and_o so_o much_o exercise_v in_o this_o argument_n of_o equivocation_n i_o presume_v i_o have_v sufficient_a warrant_n to_o say_v as_o i_o do_v without_o the_o control_n of_o any_o of_o our_o puny_a jesuite_n that_o the_o one_o use_n and_o acception_n be_v proper_a and_o ancient_a the_o other_o unproper_a and_o of_o a_o late_a growth_n that_o be_v since_o the_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n do_v open_v itself_o more_o full_o to_o the_o world_n and_o man_n do_v more_o apparent_o speak_v lie_n in_o hypocrisy_n but_o yet_o for_o the_o distinguish_n of_o these_o two_o kind_n i_o will_v rather_o call_v the_o first_o logical_a equivocation_n as_o be_v that_o which_o logic_n do_v only_o acknowledge_v and_o the_o late_a i_o will_v call_v jesuitical_a equivocation_n as_o have_v if_o not_o its_o first_o devise_v yet_o at_o least_o its_o polish_n from_o man_n of_o that_o order_n the_o question_n in_o this_o place_n be_v only_o concern_v the_o late_a which_o i_o call_v jesuitical_a equivocation_n notwithstanding_o for_o the_o better_a clear_n of_o the_o point_n in_o controversy_n somewhat_o be_v first_o to_o be_v say_v concern_v the_o former_a which_o i_o call_v logical_a first_o then_o for_o the_o logical_a equivocation_n it_o be_v a_o ambiguous_a or_o doubtful_a say_n when_o one_o word_n or_o speech_n have_v mo●_n sense_n than_o one_o and_o it_o hapen_v three_o way_n 1._o when_o a_o word_n by_o itself_o have_v diverse_a signification_n and_o meaning_n as_o this_o word_n to_o know_v have_v for_o sometime_o it_o signify_v to_o apprehend_v and_o understand_v the_o certainty_n of_o some_o truth_n 20._o as_o when_o s._n john_n say_v god_n be_v great_a than_o our_o heart_n and_o know_v all_o thing_n 2._o to_o know_v be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o approve_v and_o allow_v of_o as_o when_o david_n say_v 6._o the_o lord_n know_v the_o way_n of_o the_o righteous_a and_o when_o christ_n say_v to_o the_o foolish_a virgin_n 12._o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o i_o know_v you_o not_o the_o meaning_n be_v i_o do_v not_o acknowledge_v you_o for_o any_o of_o i_o in_o this_o and_o such_o like_a word_n as_o this_o there_o be_v a_o equivocation_n because_o the_o word_n have_v diverse_a acception_n and_o use_n 2._o when_o word_n which_o have_v but_o one_o signification_n of_o themselves_o yet_o be_v so_o join_v together_o in_o some_o sentence_n as_o that_o they_o may_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o composition_n make_v and_o yield_v diverse_a meaning_n or_o when_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o contexture_n they_o may_v have_v more_o meaning_n than_o one_o 5._o as_o when_o s._n luke_n say_v when_o they_o hear_v this_o they_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n these_o word_n be_v diverse_o construe_v by_o the_o learned_a for_o some_o think_v they_o to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o s._n paul_n and_o to_o have_v reference_n to_o the_o speech_n of_o john_n baptist_n immediate_o go_v before_o and_o then_o the_o meaning_n must_v be_v this_o that_o when_o those_o brethren_n there_o speak_v of_o hear_v john_n so_o teach_v concern_v christ_n they_o be_v baptize_v of_o john_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n but_o other_o think_v they_o to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o s._n luke_n and_o to_o have_v reference_n to_o the_o former_a speech_n of_o s._n paul_n and_o then_o the_o meaning_n must_v be_v that_o when_o those_o brethren_n have_v hear_v paul_n discourse_v in_o this_o manner_n of_o john_n and_o his_o baptism_n than_o they_o be_v baptize_v of_o paul_n in_o the_o name_n of_o christ._n in_o this_o clause_n then_o there_o be_v two_o sense_n give_v by_o the_o learned_a and_o that_o show_v that_o there_o be_v a_o ambiguity_n but_o that_o ambiguity_n rise_v not_o from_o the_o diversity_n of_o signification_n in_o any_o of_o the_o word_n but_o from_o the_o different_a consideration_n of_o the_o contexture_n or_o composition_n of_o the_o sentence_n 3._o when_o the_o circumstance_n of_o time_n place_n person_n etc._n etc._n be_v such_o as_o that_o in_o reason_n and_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o sober_a man_n be_v well_o and_o due_o consider_v they_o may_v limit_v or_o restrain_v the_o speech_n to_o some_o special_a matter_n or_o subject_n or_o otherwise_o alter_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o from_o that_o which_o it_o shall_v have_v if_o it_o be_v in_o some_o other_o place_n and_o upon_o some_o other_o occasion_n as_o for_o example_n when_o s._n paul_n say_v i_o have_v not_o shun_v to_o declare_v unto_o you_o all_o the_o counsel_n of_o god_n 27._o these_o word_n consider_v by_o themselves_o do_v comprise_v all_o the_o secret_n of_o god_n and_o all_o the_o mystery_n of_o his_o wisdom_n but_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o person_n time_n place_n and_o occasion_n as_o that_o the_o speaker_n be_v paul_n a_o apostle_n who_o office_n and_o employment_n be_v to_o teach_v the_o mystery_n of_o religion_n that_o the_o hearer_n be_v the_o church_n of_o ephesus_n who_o expect_v information_n in_o matter_n of_o salvation_n and_o that_o the_o occasion_n of_o their_o meeting_n at_o this_o time_n and_o in_o this_o place_n be_v only_o for_o teach_v and_o learn_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n these_o circumstance_n in_o reason_n may_v teach_v we_o that_o in_o this_o place_n those_o word_n all_o the_o counsel_n of_o god_n be_v not_o to_o be_v extend_v to_o all_o the_o secret_n and_o depth_n of_o god_n wisdom_n a_o great_a part_n whereof_o be_v neither_o reveal_v nor_o necessary_a to_o be_v know_v of_o any_o man_n and_o some_o part_n whereof_o though_o it_o be_v reveal_v yet_o be_v not_o pertinent_a to_o this_o occasion_n but_o rather_o that_o those_o word_n be_v to_o be_v limit_v and_o restrain_v according_a to_o the_o present_a occasion_n to_o signify_v and_o note_v all_o necessary_a thing_n for_o they_o to_o know_v for_o their_o soul_n health_n and_o salvation_n or_o to_o give_v a_o more_o familiar_a example_n and_o such_o as_o a_o jesuite_n have_v give_v instance_n in●_n we_o may_v suppose_v that_o two_o man_n go_v together_o in_o a_o journey_n the_o one_o of_o they_o his_o money_n sail_v he_o desire_v to_o borrow_v ten_o pound_n of_o his_o fellow_n who_o make_v answer_v that_o he_o have_v not_o so_o much_o here_o his_o meaning_n must_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v that_o he_o have_v not_o so_o much_o in_o his_o purse_n or_o so_o much_o in_o a_o readiness_n about_o he_o though_o he_o have_v four_o time_n the_o like_a value_n in_o his_o chest_n at_o home_n but_o if_o the_o same_o thing_n shall_v be_v desire_v of_o he_o when_o he_o be_v at_o home_n in_o his_o own_o house_n than_o the_o meaning_n will_v be_v that_o he_o have_v not_o such_o a_o sum_n at_o home_n and_o the_o same_o answer_n which_o be_v true_a be_v give_v to_o his_o fellow_n traveller_n by_o the_o way_n will_v be_v a_o lie_n if_o it_o be_v utter_v to_o he_o in_o his_o house_n thus_o there_o may_v arise_v a_o ambiguity_n in_o a_o speech_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o circumstance_n of_o person_n place_n time_n and_o occasion_n where_o otherwise_o there_o be_v no_o ambiguity_n either_o in_o the_o signification_n of_o any_o word_n or_o in_o the_o composition_n of_o the_o sentence_n consider_v in_o and_o by_o themselves_o and_o in_o what_o kind_n soever_o of_o these_o now_o specify_v there_o happen_v a_o ambiguity_n that_o i_o call_v a_o logical_a equivocation_n concern_v which_o our_o present_a question_n be_v not_o for_o as_o the_o doctor_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n so_o the_o
