IX. Neither can the indifferency or lawfulness of the thing done, nor the ordinance of Authority commanding the use of it, make the Scandal following upon it, to be only passive, which otherwise, i. e. in case the thing were neither lawful, nor ordained by Authority, should be active. Not the former; for tour Divines teach, that Scandalum datum riseth sometimes, ex facto-in se adiaphoro when it is done intempessive, contra charitatis regulam. Not the latter; for no ⟨p. 33⟩humane Authority can take away the condition of Scandal, from that which otherwise should be Scandal, because unullu• homo potist vel charitati, vel conscientiis nostris imperare, vel periculum scandali d•ti prestar•, saith a learned Casuist.
