they_o be_v lawful_a and_o when_o unlawful_a but_o the_o especial_a point_n of_o these_o three_o chapter_n which_o concern_v the_o corinthian_n especial_o be_v the_o reproof_n of_o the_o abuse_n of_o diverse_a stray_a christian_n among_o they_o who_o although_o they_o have_v give_v their_o name_n to_o christ_n yet_o do_v they_o keep_v company_n with_o idolater_n they_o do_v eat_v &_o drink_v with_o they_o even_o those_o meat_n which_o be_v the_o remainder_n of_o beast_n sacrifice_v to_o idol_n whereby_o the_o weak_a conscience_n of_o many_o of_o their_o brethren_n be_v grievous_o offend_v we_o will_v stand_v upon_o that_o doctrine_n which_o shall_v be_v agreeable_a to_o our_o time_n and_o most_o profitable_a for_o this_o auditory_a follow_v the_o general_a doctrine_n in_o my_o

these_o two_o verse_n contain_v two_o rule_n the_o first_o be_v lex_fw-la veritatis_fw-la the_o law_n rule_v of_o truth_n in_o the_o 23._o verse_n the_o second_o lex_fw-la charitatis_fw-la the_o

verum_fw-la the_o truth_n in_o the_o 23._o verse_n then_o here_o be_v a_o exhortative_a application_n or_o a_o exhortation_n to_o apply_v right_o the_o direction_n unto_o ourselves_o in_o the_o

first_o a_o maxima_fw-la or_o general_a rule_n omnia_fw-la mihi_fw-la license_fw-la all_o thing_n be_v lawful_a to_o i_o which_o although_o it_o be_v simplex_fw-la single_a and_o but_o one_o in_o

in_o respect_n of_o our_o neighbour_n and_o brethren_n they_o tend_v not_o to_o the_o edification_n of_o our_o brethren_n but_o rather_o to_o their_o hurt_n then_o be_v they_o to_o we_o unlawful_a omnia_fw-la mihi_fw-la licen_n sed_fw-la non_fw-la conducunt_fw-la but_o all_o thing_n be_v not_o profitable_a unto_o i_o this_o be_v the_o first_o caution_n omnia_fw-la mihi_fw-la license_fw-la sed_fw-la non_fw-la omne_fw-la adificant_a but_o all_o thing_n do_v not_o edify_v this_o be_v the_o second_o so_o thatin_n these_o indifferent_a matter_n which_o may_v be_v either_o do_v or_o not_o do_v we_o must_v brief_o consider_v these_o two_o point_n first_o whether_o it_o be_v expedient_a for_o we_o to_o do_v they_o or_o not_o second_o whether_o they_o tend_v to_o the_o edify_n of_o our_o

of_o charity_n by_o way_n of_o application_n both_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o matter_n and_o manner_n be_v two_o fold_n for_o the_o matter_n it_o either_o respect_v ourselves_o or_o our_o neighbour_n

my_o mind_n how_o this_o may_v be_v that_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v lawful_a see_v that_o many_o and_o almost_o innumerable_a thing_n be_v altogether_o unlawful_a and_o utter_o forbid_v if_o this_o

to_o be_v a_o partaker_n with_o the_o adulterer_n and_o such_o like_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o we_o must_v learn_v of_o this_o our_o author_n to_o make_v account_n of_o unlawful_a
