and_o lesser_a inconvenience_n or_o if_o the_o reason_n seem_v so_o equal_o strong_a on_o both_o side_n that_o he_o can_v of_o himself_o decide_v the_o doubt_n then_o second_o if_o the_o 4._o matter_n be_v of_o weight_n and_o worth_a the_o while_n he_o shall_v do_v well_o to_o make_v his_o doubt_n know_v to_o some_o prudent_a and_o pious_a man_n especial_o to_o his_o own_o spiritual_a pastor_n if_o he_o be_v a_o man_n meet_o qualify_v for_o it_o resolve_v to_o rest_v upon_o his_o judgement_n and_o to_o follow_v his_o direction_n or_o if_o the_o matter_n be_v of_o small_a moment_n he_o may_v

shall_v be_v mistake_v in_o his_o choice_n but_o second_o if_o the_o question_n be_v concern_v the_o very_a lawfulnsse_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o whether_o it_o may_v be_v lawful_o do_v or_o no_o
