A81926	Objections against the taking of the engagement answered. Or, Some scruples of conscience, which a godly minister in Lancashire did entertain against the taking of the engagement. Resolved by J.D. wherein the chief mistakes of weak consciences, about the matter of the engagement, are in a friendly way discovered, and rectified by scripture-grounds and right reason; and published for the satisfaction of others, who may be scrupled in the same kind.	Dury, John, 1596-1680.	1650 (1650)	Wing D2876; Thomason E608_20; ESTC R205922	22,527	28

suppose_v also_o that_o because_o there_o be_v many_o innocent_a peer_n who_o have_v many_o interest_n and_o privilege_n fair_o to_o be_v challenge_v that_o therefore_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v

that_o they_o be_v all_o of_o they_o truth_n yet_o how_o will_v you_o make_v it_o out_o rational_o that_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v of_o such_o importance_n to_o you_o follow_v suppose_v the_o
