of
a
good
Confcience,
a
conkience renewed,
but renew-

impertè
Lions.
The
ìmperrections of

ate,
z.
Imper',etion
of
knowledge.
It
doth
not yet foundly
and
clearly
undettland
what
is
lawfull
and
what
is
ure,
and
what
is
by
Chriflian
liberty indifferent.

perfwaded
by
the
L
ord
Jeff*, that
there
is
nothing unclean
of

a
felt
:
but
to
bim
that
efleemetb
any
thing
to bee
uncleanc,
to
him
it
its
uncleane. He fpeaketh
of
things
that
are indifferent
:
The
Apottle
had
knowledge
:
but
there
VG
ere
others
who
did
not
know
this
;
O
J
may not
eat this meat
; 1
may
not
p!
y at
Bowles or ufe
any
other recreation
:
Jíhosld
limy
if
I
fhould,
&c.
This
is
one
weaknefTe in
this kind
of
conicience,
weak
-
neffe
of
knowledge.
2. The
feeond imperfe
Lion
is
to
be
grieved
where
it
needeth
not
bee
grieved
-
:
As
when
it
teeth other doe
that which
it felt
through
rmiflake
doth judge
to
be
evil,
it
is
apt to
be grieved and
troubled to
fee
.t
;
If
thy
brother
be
grieved
with
thy
meat,
Korn.

now
walkeff thou
not
charitably.
It
may
be
thou
thinkeft
it
rs'
lawfull
to eat tech meat
;
but
he thinketh
otherwife,
and
fo
is
grieved
to
fee
thee
eat. This
is
another
imperfè&ion
in
this
conícience,to
be
grieved and offended
without juft
caufe.
3.
A
third
imperfèciion
is
in
Judgement
:
It
is
apt
to
judge
and
condetnne another mans liberty

Cor.

Why
is
my
liberty
judged
of
another:
mansconfeienee

He fpeaketh
of

weake contcicncc.
It
is
apt to
be
judging
and condemning
my
liberty

;
but
why
fo
?
This
is
a
fault
i,nd
an
iniperfeeit-

;
O fuch
an
one
film -th, he
doeth
fo
and

yet
it
may be the thing
is
net
unlawful!
but
a
weak
confCi-ence
is
at
fo
to judge
it_
and
to
condemtme
him that doeth
it.
Let
not
him
that

And
let

A
fourth
iiriperfection
is
this
:
A
weak
con
feience
is
apt
to be milled.
So
the Apoftle intimateth
;
Take
