he_o go_v in_o peace_n as_o if_o by_o those_o word_n he_o give_v he_o leave_v to_o do_v as_o he_o desire_v it_o be_v necessary_a to_o observe_v in_o this_o place_n 1._o that_o the_o term_n in_o the_o original_a may_v be_v understand_v as_o if_o naaman_n after_o he_o have_v make_v a_o vow_n never_o from_o thence_o forward_o to_o worship_n or_o serve_v any_o other_o than_o the_o true_a god_n have_v deliver_v himself_o in_o this_o manner_n i_o beg_v of_o the_o lord_n to_o pardon_v this_o thy_o servant_n that_o when_o my_o master_n enter_v into_o the_o house_n of_o rimmon_n to_o prostrate_v himself_o there_o and_o that_o when_o he_o lean_v upon_o my_o hand_n i_o also_o prostrate_v myself_o for_o that_o i_o say_v let_v the_o lord_n pardon_v i_o read_v it_o in_o this_o manner_n there_o be_v nothing_o of_o difficulty_n in_o the_o story_n in_o regard_n that_o according_a to_o this_o version_n he_o beg_v pardon_n for_o what_o be_v pass_v but_o not_o for_o what_o be_v to_o come_v 2._o that_o elisha_n by_o those_o word_n go_v in_o peace_n give_v no_o permission_n to_o naaman_n he_o only_o dismiss_v he_o with_o that_o same_o complimental_a form_n of_o speech_n which_o be_v then_o in_o use_n among_o the_o hebrew_n 3._o that_o tho'_o those_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n shall_v imply_v a_o permission_n it_o will_v only_o relate_v to_o the_o request_n that_o naaman_n have_v make_v the_o syrian_a have_v only_o demand_v of_o elisha_n whether_o he_o can_v not_o give_v he_o two_o mule_n lade_v of_o earth_n of_o the_o holy_a land_n and_o after_o that_o he_o have_v beg_v of_o god_n that_o he_o will_v pardon_v he_o if_o the_o king_n lean_v upon_o his_o hand_n he_o shall_v happen_v to_o prostrate_v himself_o together_o with_o he_o in_o the_o temple_n of_o rimmon_n elisha_n therefore_o answer_v to_o the_o first_o demand_n but_o not_o to_o the_o second_o 4._o that_o tho'_o the_o word_n shall_v include_v the_o prophet_n permission_n we_o ought_v not_o to_o conclude_v from_o thence_o that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o idolater_n and_o yet_o reserve_v his_o heart_n immaculate_a for_o god_n for_o that_o be_v not_o the_o thing_n which_o naaman_n desire_v of_o the_o prophet_n and_o tho'_o the_o prophet_n have_v grant_v it_o nevertheless_o we_o never_o ought_v to_o do_v it_o because_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n have_v express_o forbid_v idolatry_n and_o whatever_o have_v the_o least_o relation_n to_o it_o so_o that_o if_o not_o only_o a_o prophet_n but_o all_o the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n shall_v say_v the_o contrary_a we_o ought_v to_o look_v upon_o they_o as_o anathema_n all_o that_o we_o be_v to_o infer_v from_o thence_o be_v this_o that_o they_o who_o serve_v prince_n be_v permit_v to_o be_v present_a at_o the_o ceremony_n of_o their_o master_n religion_n when_o the_o duty_n of_o their_o employment_n oblige_v they_o to_o pay_v they_o any_o service_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o valentinian_n do_v in_o compliance_n with_o the_o emperor_n julian_n when_o he_o enter_v into_o the_o temple_n of_o fortune_n and_o what_o in_o the_o last_o age_n the_o elect._n of_o saxony_n do_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o emperor_n charles_n the_o v._n i_o add_v to_o these_o reflection_n 1._o that_o there_o be_v some_o reason_n to_o doubt_n whether_o we_o may_v be_v allow_v to_o practice_v under_o the_o new_a covenant_n what_o may_v be_v tolerate_v under_o the_o old_a in_o a_o poor_a pagan_n who_o knowledge_n be_v very_o small_a and_o who_o have_v have_v no_o other_o instruction_n but_o what_o the_o prophet_n have_v give_v he_o in_o his_o familiar_a conversation_n but_o we_o may_v be_v think_v to_o be_v oblige_v to_o great_a duty_n we_o that_o have_v be_v breed_v in_o the_o school_n of_o christ_n and_o be_v environ_v with_o such_o a_o cloud_n of_o witness_n who_o rather_o choose_v to_o die_v a_o thousand_o time_n than_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v be_v ill_o interpret_v 2._o that_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o do_v that_o which_o naaman_n do_v in_o despite_n of_o his_o conscience_n 3._o that_o if_o any_o one_o be_v oblige_v to_o do_v it_o he_o ought_v not_o to_o give_v any_o occasion_n for_o other_o to_o believe_v that_o he_o approve_v what_o be_v do_v in_o a_o false_a religion_n quite_o the_o contrary_a he_o ought_v to_o let_v the_o world_n see_v that_o he_o detest_v it_o and_o abhor_v the_o error_n the_o worship_n the_o mystery_n and_o ceremony_n of_o it_o this_o be_v that_o which_o valentinian_n do_v for_o theodoret_n observe_v that_o one_o day_n as_o he_o be_v attend_v upon_o julian_n to_o the_o temple_n of_o fortune_n he_o give_v a_o good_a cuff_n to_o the_o verger_n that_o sprinkle_v the_o holy_a water_n upon_o all_o that_o enter_v because_o he_o observe_v that_o a_o drop_n of_o water_n have_v fall_v upon_o himself_o and_o cry_v out_o aloud_o that_o he_o be_v contaminate_v thereby_o instead_o of_o be_v purify_v which_o so_o provoke_v the_o emperor_n that_o he_o banish_v valentinian_n but_o he_o remain_v not_o long_o in_o exile_n for_o within_o a_o year_n and_o some_o few_o month_n afterward_o he_o become_v master_n of_o the_o empire_n himself_o last_o i_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v much_o the_o safe_a way_n to_o renounce_v all_o those_o employment_n then_o to_o engage_v ourselves_o in_o action_n contrary_a to_o our_o belief_n and_o that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o quit_v they_o then_o to_o scandalize_v our_o brethren_n in_o the_o four_o place_n the_o example_n of_o st._n paul_n be_v object_v who_o as_o he_o teach_v we_o himself_o 1_o cor._n 9.20_o 21_o 22_o and_o unto_o the_o jew_n i_o become_v a_o jew_n that_o i_o may_v gain_v the_o jew_n to_o they_o that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n as_o under_o the_o law_n that_o i_o may_v gain_v they_o that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n to_o they_o that_o be_v without_o law_n as_o without_o law_n be_v not_o without_o law_n to_o god_n but_o under_o the_o law_n to_o christ_n that_o i_o may_v gain_v they_o that_o be_v without_o the_o law_n to_o the_o weak_a become_v i_o as_o weak_a that_o i_o may_v gain_v the_o weak_a i_o be_o make_v all_o thing_n to_o all_o man_n that_o i_o may_v by_o all_o mean_n save_o some_o after_o so_o fair_a a_o example_n set_v who_o be_v there_o say_v they_o who_o will_v scruple_n to_o conform_v to_o the_o time_n to_o the_o place_n where_o he_o live_v and_o the_o person_n with_o who_o he_o converse_v i_o answer_v that_o no_o body_n deny_v but_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o conform_v to_o time_n to_o place_n and_o person_n provide_v we_o do_v nothing_o against_o our_o conscience_n and_o that_o we_o acquit_v ourselves_o of_o these_o duty_n which_o the_o true_a religion_n exact_v from_o we_o we_o ought_v to_o conform_v with_o time_n and_o place_n in_o betake_v ourselves_o to_o flight_n when_o we_o be_v persecute_v to_o quit_v our_o country_n and_o change_v our_o habitation_n till_o like_o joseph_n mat._n 2._o we_o understand_v that_o they_o who_o seek_v our_o life_n be_v dead_a we_o ought_v to_o comply_v with_o person_n to_o avoid_v the_o expose_v of_o holy_a thing_n to_o the_o profane_a and_o give_v occasion_n of_o scandal_n to_o the_o weak_a thus_o st._n paul_n become_v a_o jew_n to_o the_o jew_n observe_v those_o ceremony_n among_o they_o which_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o the_o christian_a faith_n by_o circumcise_n timothy_n and_o cause_v himself_o to_o be_v shave_v at_o cenchreas_n he_o be_v under_o the_o law_n to_o those_o that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n in_o abstain_v from_o those_o ceremony_n that_o may_v offend_v the_o gentile_n last_o he_o become_v weak_a to_o the_o weak_a by_o comply_v with_o their_o infirmity_n read_v upon_o this_o subject_a rom._n 14.15_o 1_o cor._n 8._o but_o that_o holy_a apostle_n never_o practise_v
