this_o premise_a i_o now_o come_v to_o give_v in_o my_o particular_a answer_n to_o the_o case_n now_o there_o be_v divers_a general_a rule_n for_o we_o to_o have_v recourse_n to_o in_o this_o thing_n the_o first_o general_z rule_n be_v 1_o cor._n 10._o do_v all_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o true_a sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o this_o rule_n be_v that_o god_n glory_n shall_v be_v propose_v by_o we_o as_o our_o great_a and_o ultimate_a end_n in_o all_o our_o undertake_n the_o case_n we_o be_v upon_o be_v what_o it_o most_o meet_a for_o i_o to_o do_v when_o i_o stand_v betwixt_o two_o thing_n or_o two_o way_n and_o must_v choose_v one_o yet_o not_o able_a to_o resolve_v myself_o in_o which_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v the_o solution_n of_o the_o case_n from_o this_o general_a rule_n be_v that_o i_o be_o to_o choose_v that_o thing_n or_o way_n in_o and_o by_o which_o i_o may_v best_o reach_v the_o aforesaid_a ultimate_a end_n but_o now_o because_o when_o the_o case_n be_v such_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o know_v which_o thing_n or_o way_n will_v most_o conduce_v to_o the_o attainment_n of_o this_o ultimate_a end_n therefore_o we_o be_v yet_o in_o the_o dark_a without_o something_o further_o add_v let_v it_o therefore_o be_v consider_v that_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a glorify_v of_o god_n 1_o a_o glorify_v god_n in_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o agent_n 2_o a_o glorify_v god_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o act_n which_o consist_v in_o shun_v and_o avoid_v such_o thing_n by_o which_o god_n be_v dishonour_v and_o in_o our_o follow_v and_o embrace_v such_o action_n which_o have_v in_o they_o a_o tendency_n to_o glorify_v he_o the_o first_o viz._n the_o glorify_v of_o god_n in_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o agent_n be_v not_o indeed_o proper_o a_o glorify_v of_o god_n in_o case_n the_o other_o be_v not_o join_v with_o it_o for_o a_o man_n through_o ignorance_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n may_v do_v such_o a_o action_n as_o be_v in_o itself_o evil_a and_o tend_v to_o the_o dishonour_n of_o god_n and_o that_o with_o a_o good_a intention_n peter_n intention_n be_v good_a viz._n to_o preserve_v his_o master_n from_o danger_n and_o this_o spring_v from_o his_o love_n and_o affection_n to_o he_o when_o he_o dissuade_v he_o from_o go_v up_o to_o jerusalem_n to_o suffer_v yet_o be_v his_o action_n evil_a and_o tend_v much_o to_o the_o dishonour_n of_o god_n in_o the_o latter_a therefore_o but_o so_o as_o join_v with_o the_o former_a this_o active_a glorify_v of_o god_n consist_v when_o as_o together_o with_o my_o good_a intention_n to_o glorify_v god_n there_o be_v something_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o act_n itself_o which_o i_o perform_v that_o have_v a_o tendency_n to_o glorify_v god_n now_o as_o to_o the_o present_a case_n will_v i_o know_v whether_o my_o go_v this_o way_n or_o that_o way_n will_v most_o glorify_v god_n why_o then_o consider_v not_o only_o the_o different_a way_n but_o consider_v also_o thy_o own_o action_n thy_o action_n lie_v in_o thy_o motion_n as_o there_o be_v a_o way_n and_o a_o way_n so_o also_o there_o be_v a_o motion_n in_o it_o this_o or_o that_o way_n in_o this_o motion_n consist_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o act_n now_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o this_o motion_n consider_v it_o apart_o from_o the_o intention_n for_o that_o be_v another_o thing_n that_o have_v a_o tendency_n either_o to_o strip_v god_n of_o any_o part_n of_o his_o honour_n or_o contrariwise_o to_o glorify_v he_o than_o i_o may_v by_o it_o conclude_v which_o way_n i_o be_o to_o take_v if_o in_o my_o motion_n on_o one_o hand_n i_o entrench_v upon_o god_n honour_n in_o this_o or_o that_o point_n than_o whatsoever_o my_o intention_n be_v tho_o seem_o ever_o so_o pious_a yet_o must_v i_o not_o venture_v there_o because_o there_o be_v a_o evil_a and_o a_o dishonour_n to_o god_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o act_n if_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n i_o do_v not_o only_o intend_v god_n honour_n but_o can_v also_o carry_v it_o along_o with_o i_o and_o visible_o hold_v it_o forth_o in_o the_o way_n as_o i_o go_v then_o may_v i_o safe_o go_v there_o yea_o that_o be_v the_o way_n i_o be_o to_o take_v to_o illustrate_v this_o in_o a_o particular_a case_n suppose_v i_o stand_v betwixt_o two_o way_n and_o i_o can_v see_v that_o there_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n more_o in_o this_o than_o in_o that_o i_o may_v in_o that_o respect_n choose_v either_o but_o the_o case_n be_v this_o betwixt_o i_o and_o this_o way_n lie_v some_o promise_n engagement_n covenant_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o i_o cannon_n enter_v this_o way_n but_o i_o must_v go_v over_o the_o head_n of_o it_o no_o such_o thing_n as_o to_o the_o other_o way_n what_o shall_v i_o now_o do_v why_o i_o must_v avoid_v that_o way_n which_o i_o can_v come_v at_o but_o must_v go_v over_o my_o promise_n engagement_n etc._n etc._n to_o reach_v it_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o here_o be_v evil_a viz._n breach_n of_o

the_o way_n of_o god_n than_o my_o duty_n be_v rather_o than_o to_o balk_v god_n path_n
