A45157	A second discourse about re-ordination being an answer to two or three books come out against this subject, in behalf of the many concern'd at this season, who for the sake of their ministry, and upon necessity, do yield to it, in defence of their submission / by John Humfrey, min. ; together, with his testimony, which from the good hand of the Lord, is laid upon himself, to bear, in this generation, against the evil, and to prevent, or repress (as much as by him may be possible) the danger, of the imposition.	Humfrey, John, 1621-1719.	1662 (1662)	Wing H3709; ESTC R9881	127,714	152

remember_v a_o man_n of_o strong_a mind_n rest_v himself_o alone_o in_o that_o apprehension_n in_o this_o case_n i_o suppose_v there_o be_v none_o but_o will_v judge_v that_o charity_n so_o high_o

work_v the_o eternal_a loss_n of_o our_o brother_n soul_n the_o worst_a the_o magistrate_n can_v do_v will_v hardly_o amount_v to_o so_o much_o as_o to_o have_v a_o millstone_n tie_v about_o the_o neck_n and_o be_v throw_v into_o the_o sea_n but_o this_o be_v certain_o more_o eligible_a unless_o christ_n own_o word_n will_v not_o go_v than_o the_o other_o 3._o when_o a_o man_n act_n in_o

this_o may_v be_v either_o when_o the_o thing_n as_o to_o the_o account_n upon_o which_o he_o act_v be_v sin_n indeed_o as_o in_o the_o 1_o cor._n 8._o where_o the_o apostle_n say_v some_o with_o conscience_n of_o the_o idol_n cat_n it_o as_o a_o thing_n offare_v to_o a_o idol_n we_o may_v understand_v it_o compare_v it_o with_o 1_o cor._n 10._o that_o some_o of_o these_o corinth_n be_v but_o new_o convert_v have_v hanker_a thought_n yet_o towards_o their_o idol_n as_o the_o jew_n towards_o their_o abolish_v rite_n so_o that_o when_o they_o see_v any_o other_o eat_v of_o those_o meat_n in_o those_o temple_n upon_o the_o account_n the_o idol_n be_v nothing_o they_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o that_o fear_n and_o worship_n they_o be_v former_o wont_v to_o give_v they_o do_v eat_v after_o their_o pattern_n and_o so_o eat_v it_o be_v flat_a idolatry_n or_o when_o the_o thing_n be_v evil_a only_a or_o sin_n because_o they_o think_v it_o so_o to_o be_v to_o he_o that_o esteem_v any_o thing_n to_o be_v unclean_a to_o he_o it_o be_v unclean_a as_o in_o the_o ordinary_a case_n about_o day_n and_o meat_n and_o those_o rite_n in_o question_n where_o a_o weak_a brother_n as_o we_o may_v conjecture_v the_o case_n to_o be_v seeing_z one_o eat_z what_o be_v lawful_a for_o he_o because_o his_o conscience_n be_v instruct_v follow_v he_o and_o eat_v too_o though_o it_o be_v with_o a_o doubt_v and_o resist_a conscience_n and_o so_o fall_v into_o sin_n and_o this_o be_v that_o scandal_n dr._n hammond_n say_v in_o his_o tract_n of_o scandal_n the_o apostle_n intend_v ro._n 14._o in_o the_o whole_a context_n v._o 13._o to_o the_o end_n so_o that_o we_o may_v do_v nothing_o say_v he_o though_o to_o we_o never_o so_o lawful_a which_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o fear_v that_o another_o who_o think_v it_o unlawful_a may_v yet_o without_o sit_v be_v fie_v his_o conscience_n be_v likely_a to_o do_v after_o we_o in_o this_o case_n upon_o my_o far_a thought_n that_o have_v be_v apt_a heretofore_o to_o take_v it_o up_o in_o a_o huddle_n that_o scandal_n of_o brethren_n weigh_v light_n to_o the_o command_n of_o authority_n as_o some_o doctor_n speak_v i_o be_o convince_v now_o at_o the_o present_a of_o these_o two_o thing_n have_v that_o the_o magistrate_n can_v command_v m●_n to_o use_v a_o thing_n which_o will_v scandalize_v my_o brother_n in_o this_o sense_n which_o the_o scripture_n do_v so_o stand_v upon_o as_o to_o lay_v down_o a_o negative_a chapter_n about_o the_o same_o and_o that_o if_o he_o do_v i_o break_v not_o the_o fist_n commandment_n to_o forbear_v do_v the_o thing_n until_o i_o see_v how_o i_o may_v avoid_v the_o scandal_n if_o i_o do_v it_o the_o reason_n be_v 1._o because_o of_o the_o superior_a command_n the_o scripture_n say_v do_v it_o not_o lay_v not_o a_o stumble_a block_n in_o the_o way_n for_o thy_o brother_n to_o fall_v and_o god_n be_v to_o be_v obey_v before_o man._n 2._o because_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o express_o that_o to_o sin_n against_o our_o weak_a brother_n so_o as_o to_o wound_v his_o conscience_n be_v to_o sin_n against_o christ_n 1_o cor._n 8.12_o and_o no_o law_n can_v command_v i_o to_o sin_n against_o the_o lord_n 3._o because_o humane_a law_n can_v bind_v only_o the_o outward_a man_n and_o not_o the_o conscience_n to_o wit_n immediatè_fw-la ratione_fw-la consequentiae_fw-la etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o so_o long_o as_o i_o do_v it_o not_o out_o of_o contempt_n or_o neglect_n of_o he_o but_o in_o conscience_n to_o christ_n and_o tenderness_n to_o my_o brother_n i_o be_o to_o conceive_v it_o be_v his_o pleasure_n if_o a_o good_a man_n i_o shall_v forbear_v till_o it_o may_v be_v safe_a and_o it_o not_o i_o must_v suffer_v his_o will_n rather_o than_o do_v it_o and_o here_o we_o be_v
