may_v be_v a_o lawful_a use_n of_o equivocal_a speech_n in_o every_o of_o these_o kind_n if_o they_o be_v not_o extend_v too_o far_o or_o misapplyed_n to_o a_o wrong_a cause_n for_o to_o speak_v more_o particular_o it_o be_v grant_v 1._o that_o we_o may_v lawful_o use_v word_n which_o may_v indifferent_o be_v take_v in_o diverse_a acception_n and_o meaning_n as_o they_o be_v then_o use_v and_o this_o be_v plain_a partly_o because_o the_o scripture_n be_v full_a of_o such_o speech_n and_o partly_o because_o our_o common_a conversation_n and_o life_n can_v be_v without_o they_o 2._o it_o be_v not_o unlawful_a when_o some_o case_n of_o further_a good_a do_v require_v it_o to_o use_v these_o ambiguous_a speech_n in_o the_o less_o know_v and_o common_a signification_n and_o in_o another_o meaning_n than_o it_o be_v likely_a the_o hearer_n will_v understand_v they_o for_o the_o present_a for_o so_o when_o our_o lord_n say_v lazarus_n our_o friend_n sleep_v 11._o he_o mean_v that_o he_o be_v dead_a which_o be_v the_o less_o common_a and_o know_a signification_n and_o therefore_o the_o disciple_n according_a to_o the_o more_o usual_a meaning_n understand_v he_o of_o natural_a sleep_n and_o he_o do_v this_o for_o good_a purpose_n and_o for_o the_o profit_n of_o the_o hearer_n that_o they_o may_v hereby_o learn_v either_o that_o death_n in_o general_n be_v to_o god_n child_n but_o as_o a_o sleep_n by_o which_o they_o be_v refresh_v and_o make_v the_o more_o lively_a or_o that_o this_o death_n of_o lazarus_n be_v rather_o to_o be_v call_v asleep_a than_o a_o death_n because_o he_o be_v so_o speedy_o raise_v from_o it_o again_o 3_o it_o be_v not_o unlawful_a if_o there_o be_v just_a cause_n for_o conceal_v of_o a_o truth_n to_o use_v a_o ambiguous_a speech_n in_o any_o of_o these_o kind_n that_o thereby_o we_o may_v hide_v some_o thing_n from_o the_o hearer_n which_o they_o shall_v not_o know_v this_o assertion_n have_v not_o so_o direct_a proof_n from_o scripture_n as_o the_o other_o have_v &_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o without_o all_o proof_n from_o the_o scripture_n neither_o for_o there_o we_o find_v that_o a_o man_n may_v lawful_o utter_v one_o truth_n thereby_o to_o hide_v another_o truth_n from_o the_o hearer_n as_o for_o example_n 2._o god_n appoint_v samuel_n to_o go_v to_o bethleem_n and_o anoint_v one_o of_o jesses_n son_n to_o be_v king_n and_o when_o samuel_n object_v how_o can_v i_o go_v if_o saul_n hear_v it_o he_o will_v kill_v i_o the_o lord_n say_v take_v a_o heifer_n with_o thou_o and_o say_v i_o be_o come_v to_o sacrifice_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o so_o samuel_n do_v as_o it_o follow_v in_o the_o same_o chapter_n and_o by_o this_o he_o conceal_v his_o purpose_n of_o anoint_v a_o new_a king_n which_o be_v the_o special_a intent_n of_o his_o go_v to_o that_o place_n and_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a and_o warrant_v by_o god_n own_o appointment_n to_o utter_v one_o truth_n for_o the_o conceal_n of_o another_o then_o in_o reason_n i_o think_v it_o can_v just_o be_v condemn_v for_o unlawful_a if_o a_o man_n upon_o just_a occasion_n do_v use_v a_o ambiguous_a speech_n in_o a_o true_a sense_n thereby_o to_o hide_v from_o the_o hearer_n something_o which_o he_o shall_v not_o know_v for_o if_o in_o so_o do_v any_o thing_n be_v faulty_a it_o must_v be_v as_o i_o take_v it_o the_o one_o of_o the_o two_o either_o because_o a_o ambiguous_a speech_n be_v use_v in_o another_o meaning_n than_o it_o be_v likely_a the_o hearer_n will_v take_v it_o and_o that_o to_o be_v lawful_a be_v prove_v in_o the_o former_a assertion_n or_o because_o this_o true_a sense_n in_o the_o ambiguous_a speech_n be_v utter_v to_o conceal_v another_o thing_n from_o the_o hearer_n and_o that_o to_o be_v lawful_a be_v clear_a by_o this_o example_n of_o samuel_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v the_o conclusion_n may_v hence_o be_v infer_v that_o it_o be_v not_o unlawful_a if_o there_o be_v just_a cause_n for_o conceal_v of_o a_o truth_n to_o use_v a_o ambiguous_a speech_n that_o thereby_o we_o may_v conceal_v some_o other_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o fit_a to_o be_v utter_v and_o hereto_o agree_v our_o
