That he had a Soul to save and that he was not satisfied in point of Law conscience or prudence that they could sit again But at last when he considered he had an estate to save as he told another Friend that over-ballanced all his former Objections and made him and other Members act against their judgements consciences and to forget our Saviours sad Quaeres Mat. 16. 26.
