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

say_v that_o it_o may_v be_v a_o great_a sin_n to_o contradict_v my_o own_o conscience_n than_o not_o to_o obey_v my_o superior_n suppose_v my_o conscience_n tell_v i_o the_o thing_n require_v be_v

before_o hear_v which_o some_o doctor_n or_o doctor_n judge_v so_o than_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o man_n to_o obey_v contrary_a to_o the_o private_a opinion_n of_o his_o own_o conscience_n because_o he_o may_v do_v it_o in_o such_o case_n though_o it_o be_v not_o command_v and_o this_o be_v his_o principle_n that_o when_o the_o precept_n of_o a_o superior_a may_v lawful_o be_v obey_v

judge_v unlawful_a if_o one_o or_o more_o doctor_n do_v but_o judge_v it_o lawful_a and_o in_o such_o case_n if_o the_o superior_a command_v he_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v what_o he_o in_o his_o own_o

we_o be_v require_v to_o do_v some_o thing_n and_o that_o in_o so_o tender_a a_o thing_n as_o divine_a worship_n which_o if_o we_o do_v we_o shall_v wound_v our_o conscience_n run_v the_o hazard_n
