in_o truth_n stand_v upon_o that_o i_o will_v maintain_v that_o we_o ought_v in_o conscience_n to_o oppose_v the_o d._n of_o y._n this_o i_o can_v prove_v from_o a_o principle_n of_o reason_n or_o

the_o case_n here_o be_v thus_o we_o must_v either_o keep_v the_o d._n of_o y._n from_o his_o right_n or_o else_o by_o his_o come_n in_o we_o must_v suffer_v idolatrous_a popery_n a_o religion_n

strange_o answ_n pray_v understand_v evil_n be_v consider_v two_o way_n it_o be_v either_o evil_a of_o pain_n or_o evil_a of_o sin_n now_o this_o principle_n of_o reason_n be_v understand_v only_o of_o evil_n of_o pain_n so_o that_o here_o only_o it_o hold_v good_a as_o suppose_v it_o be_v put_v to_o the_o choice_n of_o a_o dissenter_n for_o disturb_v the_o government_n whether_o he_o will_v be_v hang_v or_o suffer_v a_o jirk_n at_o the_o whipping-post_n why_o if_o this_o sentence_n come_v into_o his_o head_n of_o two_o evil_n scil_v of_o pain_n the_o least_o be_v to_o be_v choose_v unless_o he_o be_v mighty_o give_v to_o a_o spiritual_a resignation_n he_o will_v accept_v of_o the_o latter_a so_o that_o you_o be_v extreme_o out_o of_o the_o way_n if_o you_o apply_v it_o to_o evil_n of_o sin_n if_o it_o be_v say_v è_fw-la malis_fw-la minimum_fw-la in_fw-la evil_n of_o pain_n it_o be_v say_v è_fw-la malis_fw-la nullum_fw-la in_fw-la evil_n of_o sin_n that_o be_v we_o may_v choose_v the_o least_o evil_n in_o evil_n of_o pain_n but_o if_o two_o evil_n of_o sin_n be_v propound_v to_o we_o we_o must_v rather_o die_v than_o commit_v either_o of_o they_o but_o perhaps_o you_o may_v object_v and_o say_v suppose_v he_o be_v necessitate_v to_o commit_v one_o of_o they_o as_o suppose_v a_o man_n shall_v make_v a_o vow_n to_o murder_v his_o brother_n he_o must_v necessary_o either_o break_v his_o vow_n or_o commit_v murder_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a he_o shall_v be_v necessitate_v to_o sin_n as_o for_o your_o example_n he_o may_v break_v his_o vow_n and_o commit_v no_o sin_n for_o the_o sin_n be_v in_o make_v that_o vow_n not_o in_o break_v it_o he_o do_v not_o commit_v the_o lesser_a sin_n but_o lose_v the_o lesser_a bond_n break_v of_o it_o be_v far_o from_o be_v a_o sin_n it_o be_v a_o necessary_a duty_n and_o branch_n of_o repentance_n due_a for_o the_o former_a rashness_n in_o make_v it_o because_o a_o hurtful_a vow_n be_v rather_o to_o be_v break_v than_o keep_v it_o be_v only_a ex_fw-la peccato_fw-la and_o not_o peccatum_fw-la thus_o you_o may_v absolve_v yourselves_o from_o the_o solemn_a league_n and_o covenant_n and_o commit_v no_o sin_n but_o repent_v of_o the_o first_o take_v it_o the_o continuance_n of_o that_o unlawful_a oath_n make_v new_a sin_n but_o to_o come_v close_o to_o the_o matter_n your_o draw_v from_o this_o principle_n of_o two_o evil_n the_o lesser_o be_v to_o be_v choose_v that_o we_o must_v rather_o keep_v the_o d._n of_o y._n from_o his_o right_n than_o that_o popery_n shall_v break_v in_o upon_o we_o be_v very_o irrational_a for_o the_o one_o scil_n the_o keep_v the_o d._n of_o y._n from_o his_o right_n be_v a_o evil_a of_o sin_n the_o other_o suffer_v popery_n to_o come_v in_o upon_o we_o in_o this_o case_n be_v only_o a_o evil_a of_o pain_n and_o punishment_n in_o the_o latter_a there_o be_v no_o evil_n commit_v against_o god_n as_o in_o the_o former_a but_o the_o suffer_v a_o evil_a that_o god_n have_v inflict_v upon_o we_o a_o evil_a of_o punishment_n be_v no_o evil_a to_o christian_n they_o by_o suffer_v a_o crown_n of_o thorn_n to_o be_v put_v upon_o their_o head_n here_o may_v purchase_v one_o that_o be_v glorious_a and_o immortal_a hereafter_o i_o suppose_v you_o will_v mean_v it_o be_v lawful_a to_o commit_v small_a evil_n that_o a_o great_a good_a may_v

of_o soul_n for_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n for_o the_o redemption_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n for_o the_o great_a glory_n of_o god_n how_o much_o less_o ought_v we_o to_o commit_v perjury_n
