unto_o which_o lust_n have_v consent_v and_o by_o how_o much_o the_o soul_n be_v better_a than_o the_o body_n it_o be_v by_o so_o much_o the_o more_o wicked_o corrupt_v chastity_n then_o may_v there_o

because_o no_o man_n doubt_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v better_a than_o the_o body_n therefore_o the_o integrity_n of_o the_o mind_n ought_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o the_o integrity_n of_o the_o

the_o worst_a whether_o his_o son_n be_v dead_a or_o alive_a what_o answer_n shall_v be_v give_v he_o if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o be_v alive_a it_o be_v a_o lie_n but_o yet_o such_o a_o one_o as_o comfort_v and_o strengthen_v the_o father_n heart_n and_o may_v prove_v a_o good_a mean_n of_o his_o recovery_n but_o if_o it_o be_v tell_v he_o that_o he_o be_v dead_a or_o which_o be_v all_o one_o in_o effect_n if_o the_o hearer_n refuse_v to_o give_v any_o answer_n because_o he_o will_v sure_o presume_v upon_o their_o silence_n that_o he_o be_v depart_v see_v otherwise_o they_o will_v

answer_v with_o he_o that_o though_o the_o case_n be_v lamentable_a and_o much_o commiseration_n to_o be_v have_v of_o the_o sick_a father_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o save_v his_o life_n by_o tell_v a_o lie_n for_o this_o be_v but_o a_o mean_n of_o our_o own_o for_o his_o recovery_n and_o we_o know_v not_o whether_o god_n will_v bless_v it_o or_o no_o yea_o we_o may_v well_o suspect_v that_o if_o we_o distrust_v in_o his_o all-sufficiency_n who_o have_v in_o his_o hand_n the_o issue_n of_o life_n and_o death_n and_o be_v able_a to_o bring_v to_o the_o grave_n and_o to_o return_v back_o again_o and_o trust_v more_o to_o our_o lie_n and_o mean_n unlawful_a it_o will_v prove_v rather_o a_o hindrance_n than_o a_o furtherance_n to_o our_o desire_n whereas_o on_o the_o other_o side_n we_o be_v certain_a that_o lie_v be_v a_o sin_n and_o that_o all_o sin_n will_v slay_v our_o soul_n if_o the_o wound_n be_v not_o recure_v by_o repentance_n which_o we_o can_v promise_v unto_o ourselves_o see_v it_o be_v not_o in_o our_o own_o power_n but_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n which_o he_o give_v when_o and_o to_o who_o he_o please_v final_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a by_o sin_v to_o
