Dodwell, against his reasons for their silence ... : written in 1668 and 1669, for the most of it, and now published as an addition to the defence against Dr. Stillingfleet, and as an account to the silencers of the reasons of our practice / by Richard Baxter.

as_o to_o what_o you_o say_v of_o conscience_n to_o bind_v conscience_n that_o be_v science_n be_v a_o improper_a expression_n but_o as_o to_o that_o which_o be_v common_o mean_v by_o it_o it_o be_v

conscience_n be_v a_o ambiguous_a word_n we_o flat_o affirm_v as_o well_o as_o you_o that_o the_o king_n law_n do_v bind_v the_o mind_n or_o soul_n or_o conscience_n if_o you_o will_v so_o call_v it_o to_o a_o conscionable_a performance_n of_o all_o his_o lawful_a command_n for_o nothing_o but_o cord_n and_o iron_n bind_v the_o body_n without_o the_o soul_n and_o he_o that_o oblige_v not_o the_o

derive_v power_n enable_v he_o to_o oblige_v the_o soul_n in_o subordination_n to_o god_n which_o be_v no_o more_o than_o to_o say_v that_o he_o may_v make_v law_n and_o rule_n by_o they_o but_o

judgement_n of_o god_n and_o so_o when_o the_o very_a definition_n appropriate_v conscience_n to_o our_o relation_n to_o god_n it_o can_v so_o be_v subject_a to_o man_n 3._o conscience_n be_v no_o

whether_o when_o a_o man_n be_v conscious_a of_o his_o duty_n to_o god_n he_o may_v omit_v it_o because_o that_o man_n forbid_v it_o or_o when_o a_o man_n be_v conscious_a what_o god_n forbid_v he_o may_v do_v it_o if_o man_n command_v it_o so_o that_o for_o man_n to_o bind_v conscience_n if_o you_o will_v speak_v inept_o to_o duty_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o for_o man_n to_o bind_v we_o to_o go_v

the_o issue_n of_o all_o be_v whether_o conscience_n of_o god_n command_n or_o conscience_n of_o man_n command_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v and_o this_o be_v the_o plain_a english_a of_o the_o case_n
