A39389	To en archy: or, An exercitation upon a momentous question in divinity, and case of conscience viz. whether it be lawfull for any person to act contrary to the opinion of his own consicence, formed from arguments that to him appear very probable, though not necessary or demonstrative. Where the opinions of the papists, Vasquez, Sanches, Azonius, &c. are shewed, as also the opinions of some Protestants, viz. Mr. Hooker, Bp Sanderson, Dr. Fulwood, &c. and compared with the opinions of others; the negative part of the question maintained; the unreasonableness of the popish opinions, and some Protestants, for blind obedience, detected; and many other things discoursed. By a Protestant.	Protestant.; Collinges, John, 1623-1690, attributed name.	1675 (1675)	Wing E718; Wing C5314_CANCELLED; ESTC R214929	62,722	96

a_o man_n to_o obey_v superior_n in_o thing_n which_o he_o very_o believe_v be_v unlawful_a about_o other_o thing_n we_o have_v no_o dispute_n this_o argument_n be_v so_o evident_a as_o it_o need_v not_o more_o word_n we_o therefore_o proceed_v to_o a_o four_o §_o 8._o he_o that_o doubt_v be_v damn_v if_o he_o eat_v and_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n rom._n 14.23_o but_o he_o who_o do_v that_o which_o upon_o probable_a argument_n he_o very_o believe_v unlawful_a doubt_v and_o yet_o actethnd_n act_v not_o of_o faith_n ergo_fw-la he_o sin_v be_v damn_v etc._n etc._n the_o proposition_n be_v the_o apostle_n rom._n 14.23_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v deny_v but_o yet_o we_o find_v some_o who_o will_v not_o allow_v it_o a_o proposition_n of_o immutable_a truth_n but_o with_o some_o circumstance_n that_o be_v as_o they_o expound_v themselves_o if_o the_o person_n be_v svi_fw-la juris_fw-la at_o liberty_n and_o perfect_o in_o his_o own_o power_n not_o require_v to_o do_v the_o thing_n by_o the_o command_n of_o his_o superior_n of_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o which_o he_o doubt_v but_o say_v they_o if_o the_o superior_a command_v than_o he_o who_o do_v the_o ●●ing_n though_o he_o doubt_v of_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o it_o run_v no_o guilt_n no_o hazard_n of_o damnation_n now_o we_o will_v fain_o believe_v this_o if_o we_o can_v for_o it_o will_v ease_v we_o of_o many_o perplex_v thought_n but_o we_o can_v for_o these_o reason_n among_o other_o §_o 9_o first_o because_o what_o the_o apostle_n say_v seem_v to_o we_o but_o to_o be_v according_a to_o the_o law_n and_o order_n of_o nature_n in_o a_o rational_a soul_n that_o the_o understanding_n shall_v first_o represent_v that_o as_o true_a and_o good_a and_o therefore_o eligible_a which_o the_o will_n shall_v choose_v §_o 10._o because_o it_o seem_v to_o we_o possible_a by_o admit_v their_o interpretation_n to_o elude_v the_o whole_a law_n of_o god_n and_o make_v any_o thing_n lawful_a for_o what_o reason_n can_v there_o be_v why_o what_o god_n say_v in_o one_o place_n shall_v be_v understand_v with_o that_o limitation_n and_o not_o what_o he_o say_v in_o another_o why_o may_v we_o not_o venerate_a image_n go_v to_o mass_n pray_v for_o the_o dead_a profane_v the_o sabbath_n use_v oil_n spital_n cream_n etc._n etc._n in_o baptism_n if_o the_o superior_a command_v as_o well_o as_o wear_v a_o surplis_n use_v the_o cross_n in_o baptism_n etc._n etc._n do_v any_o one_o doubt_n whether_o these_o thing_n be_v lawful_a or_o no_o or_o upon_o probable_a argument_n believe_v the_o contrary_a and_o be_v he_o restrain_v by_o this_o text_n not_o at_o all_o by_o this_o interpretation_n if_o superior_n command_v these_o or_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n will_v any_o say_v that_o this_o text_n speak_v of_o thing_n only_o in_o their_o own_o nature_n indifferent_a we_o ask_v who_o shall_v judge_v what_o those_o thing_n be_v shall_v the_o superior_a if_o so_o what_o we_o say_v holdeth_z for_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v presume_v he_o will_v command_v they_o if_o he_o judge_v they_o sinful_a shall_v the_o inferior_a he_o judge_v they_o from_o probable_a argument_n unlawful_a §_o 11._o three_o because_o whatsoever_o some_o modern_a doctor_n say_v we_o see_v no_o scripture_n translate_n the_o guilt_n of_o any_o personal_a action_n of_o we_o to_o our_o superior_n which_o in_o reason_n we_o shall_v find_v if_o his_o command_n will_v justify_v we_o in_o do_v any_o thing_n we_o judge_v wicked_a especial_o consider_v that_o whether_o we_o judge_v it_o right_n or_o no_o it_o may_v in_o itself_o be_v sinful_a and_o therefore_o we_o have_v need_n have_v our_o soul_n secure_v as_o to_o the_o guilt_n of_o it_o we_o think_v with_o the_o apostle_n that_o sin_n be_v a_o anomy_n a_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n by_o omission_n or_o commission_n or_o nonconformity_n how_o we_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o inseparable_a guilt_n which_o he_o cleave_v to_o every_o omission_n or_o oblique_a action_n every_o sin_n bind_v over_o the_o doer_n or_o omitter_n to_o a_o eternal_a death_n and_o want_v one_o scripture_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o sin_n or_o personal_a obliquity_n of_o a_o inferior_a action_n shall_v be_v translate_v to_o the_o superior_a and_o set_v upon_o his_o score_n thus_o while_o some_o deny_v christ_n impute_a righteousness_n they_o have_v devise_v a_o new_a doctrine_n of_o impute_v guilt_n to_o the_o magistrate_n or_o superior_a a_o doctrine_n which_o no_o superior_a will_v thank_v they_o for_o that_o understand_v the_o weight_n of_o divine_a wrath_n for_o sin_n we_o have_v heretofore_o hear_v that_o superior_n may_v make_v themselves_o guilty_a of_o sin_n by_o command_v other_o to_o sin_n but_o that_o the_o guilt_n of_o the_o inferior_n personal_a action_n shall_v also_o be_v translate_v from_o he_o and_o that_o not_o to_o christ_n but_o to_o the_o superior_a be_v a_o novel_a idle_a fancy_n a_o brutish_a and_o irrational_a as_o well_o as_o unscriptural_a figment_n and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o if_o admit_v will_v make_v the_o crown_n of_o king_n and_o mitre_n of_o bishop_n not_o worth_a take_v up_o in_o the_o street_n let_v god_n therefore_o be_v true_a and_o these_o new_a diviner_n all_o liar_n god_n have_v say_v that_o soul_n that_o sin_n shall_v die_v and_o that_o every_o soul_n shall_v bear_v its_o own_o iniquity_n and_o iniquity_n that_o must_v be_v if_o st._n john_n describe_v sin_n right_a whatsoever_o be_v a_o transgression_n of_o the_o divine_a law_n §._o 12_o four_o we_o can_v admit_v of_o this_o interpretation_n because_o of_o what_o follow_v in_o the_o apostle_n whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n by_o faith_n say_v dr._n sanderson_n in_o his_o sermon_n on_o rom._n 14.23_o be_v mean_v a_o certain_a persuasion_n of_o the_o mind_n that_o what_o we_o do_v may_v lawful_o be_v do_v that_o say_v he_o whatsoever_o action_n be_v do_v by_o we_o either_o direct_o contrary_a to_o the_o judgement_n and_o verdict_n of_o our_o own_o consicience_n or_o at_o least_o doubt_o and_o before_o we_o be_v in_o some_o competent_a measure_n assure_v that_o we_o may_v lawful_o do_v it_o that_o be_v it_o which_o st._n paul_n here_o deny_v to_o be_v of_o faith_n and_o of_o which_o he_o pronounce_v so_o peremptory_o that_o it_o be_v eo_fw-la nomine_fw-la sin_n now_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o he_o who_o do_v a_o thing_n at_o the_o command_n of_o other_o which_o seem_v to_o he_o from_o probable_a argument_n unlawful_a can_v in_o this_o sense_n do_v it_o of_o faith_n i._n e._n with_o no_o competent_a persuasion_n of_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o it_o with_o no_o certainty_n either_o supernatural_a mathematical_a or_o moral_a the_o vanity_n therefore_o of_o this_o limitation_n be_v discover_v we_o hope_v the_o proposition_n will_v stand_v good_a §_o 13._o for_o the_o minor_a he_o who_o deny_v it_o must_v say_v that_o he_o who_o opine_v do_v not_o doubt_n which_o indeed_o we_o think_v strict_o he_o do_v not_o for_o he_o have_v as_o we_o say_v a_o moral_a certainty_n but_o that_o do_v but_o raise_v the_o argument_n to_o à_fw-la fortiori_fw-la if_o he_o who_o conscience_n be_v pendulous_a and_o who_o hang_v in_o equilibrio_n be_v damn_v if_o he_o do_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o which_o he_o doubt_v then_o be_v he_o much_o more_o damn_a who_o do_v very_o think_v the_o thing_n unlawful_a and_o yet_o will_v do_v it_o but_o in_o the_o large_a notion_n opine_v be_v a_o species_n of_o doubt_v and_o if_o that_o text_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v true_a of_o doubt_v in_o any_o sense_n it_o must_v be_v in_o that_o sense_n which_o be_v of_o all_o the_o high_a we_o be_v able_a to_o discern_v no_o chink_n at_o which_o our_o adversary_n may_v creep_v out_o from_o the_o prison_n of_o this_o argument_n but_o shall_v leave_v it_o attend_v to_o any_o thing_n they_o shall_v any_o of_o they_o hereafter_o offer_v in_o answer_n to_o it_o §_o 14._o our_o next_o
