A81926	Objections against the taking of the engagement answered. Or, Some scruples of conscience, which a godly minister in Lancashire did entertain against the taking of the engagement. Resolved by J.D. wherein the chief mistakes of weak consciences, about the matter of the engagement, are in a friendly way discovered, and rectified by scripture-grounds and right reason; and published for the satisfaction of others, who may be scrupled in the same kind.	Dury, John, 1596-1680.	1650 (1650)	Wing D2876; Thomason E608_20; ESTC R205922	22,527	28

therefore_o 10.23_o 1_o cor._n 6.12_o &_o chap._n 10.23_o that_o it_o be_v still_o most_o expedient_a for_o the_o public_a state_n the_o apostle_n say_v in_o two_o place_n that_o all_o thing_n be_v

thing_n oblige_v conscience_n must_v be_v not_o only_o good_a in_o themselves_o but_o expedient_a to_o we_o before_o we_o fasten_v it_o as_o a_o obligation_n upon_o our_o conscience_n the_o consideration_n of_o the_o expediency_n of_o a_o thing_n must_v cast_v the_o balance_n as_o to_o the_o engage_v of_o conscience_n into_o a_o business_n and_o the_o apostle_n define_v this_o

that_o we_o shall_v be_v bring_v under_o the_o power_n of_o every_o thing_n which_o in_o itself_o be_v lawful_a as_o the_o apostle_n say_v all_o thing_n be_v lawful_a for_o i_o but_o i_o will_v not_o

that_o we_o can_v please_v god_n without_o it_o now_o the_o apostle_n do_v teach_v we_o that_o no_o outward_a thing_n shall_v have_v any_o such_o power_n over_o our_o spirit_n as_o to_o bring_v our_o

then_o a_o thing_n may_v be_v lawful_a wholesome_a and_o good_a in_o itself_o yet_o if_o i_o find_v it_o not_o expedient_a for_o edification_n i_o be_o not_o bind_v to_o use_v it_o but_o may_v leave_v

all_o these_o be_v lawful_a expedient_a what_o government_n be_v to_o be_v count_v most_o expedient_a good_a and_o wholesome_a form_n in_o themselves_o but_o what_o be_v most_o expedient_a and_o if_o i_o shall_v now_o speak_v as_o a_o christian_a to_o tell_v you_o what_o i_o think_v expedient_a in_o the_o choice_n of_o any_o of_o these_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o that_o the_o government_n which_o consist_v most_o with_o the_o rational_a and_o orderly_a freedom_n of_o christian_n and_o which_o according_a to_o emergency_n do_v tend_v most_o unto_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o public_a in_o all_o good_a thing_n be_v that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v choose_v therefore_o if_o in_o your_o unprejudiced_a thought_n you_o will_v contemplate_v this_o querie_n you_o will_v not_o do_v amiss_o viz._n

a_o absolute_a lawful_a judge_n of_o a_o public_a concernment_n of_o this_o nature_n but_o now_o i_o not_o be_v free_a to_o make_v my_o choice_n of_o government_n but_o it_o be_v whole_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o public_a trustee_n to_o manage_v all_o public_a affair_n for_o i_o so_o that_o i_o must_v be_v conclude_v by_o they_o in_o such_o concernment_n see_v i_o say_v i_o be_o under_o a_o power_n whereunto_o i_o owe_v subjection_n government_n who_o be_v to_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o the_o expediency_n of_o government_n and_o it_o be_v at_o all_o time_n expedient_a that_o private_a man_n shall_v be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o some_o government_n to_o who_o the_o management_n of_o public_a affair_n be_v to_o be_v commit_v therefore_o i_o must_v not_o make_v myself_o a_o judge_n how_o

and_o not_o i_o and_o if_o i_o may_v not_o judge_v either_o way_n it_o be_v clear_a that_o my_o conscience_n can_v be_v bring_v under_o the_o power_n of_o their_o resolution_n either_o way_n but_o it_o be_v always_o free_a for_o i_o before_o god_n in_o civil_a affair_n to_o submit_v unto_o their_o changeable_a determination_n and_o not_o to_o oppose_v the_o order_n which_o they_o shall_v

edification_n if_o then_o a_o change_n fall_v out_o in_o the_o government_n among_o they_o and_o they_o judge_v it_o either_o expedient_a or_o necessary_a to_o alter_v that_o form_n wherein_o no_o evil_a yet_o ever_o appear_v to_o i_o yet_o by_o this_o my_o conscience_n be_v not_o oblige_v either_o to_o resist_v they_o because_o they_o alter_v what_o seem_v not_o evil_a to_o i_o or_o not_o to_o yield_v unto_o they_o to_o make_v the_o best_a of_o what_o they_o have_v do_v so_o far_o as_o may_v be_v edify_v in_o my_o way_n for_o i_o be_o bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o take_v all_o thing_n as_o they_o fall_v in_o my_o way_n and_o to_o make_v use_n of_o they_o free_o to_o the_o end_n of_o edification_n if_o therefore_o they_o in_o their_o place_n make_v change_n although_o as_o to_o the_o outward_a man_n i_o be_o conclude_v by_o they_o to_o stand_v under_o the_o same_o yet_o as_o to_o my_o conscience_n i_o be_o not_o in_o subjection_n to_o such_o change_n nor_o oblige_v to_o make_v
