2. An individual good action of that kind, which the D. calleth necessary, is no otherwise remunerable and laudable, then an individual good action of that kind which he calleth indifferent, for example; when I go to hear Gods Word upon the Lords-day; let this action of mine be considered quo ad individuum: is it any otherwise remunerable, then in respect of the goodness which accompanieth it? whence it is, that the hearing of Hypocrites, not being accompanied with such goodness, is not remunerable: yet the hearing of the Word is an action necessary, because commanded. Now may we know wherein standeth the difference betwixt the remunerable good of this action of hearing, and the remunerable good of ⟨p. 4⟩one of those actions which the D. calleth indifferent; for example, a woman's action of marrying?

An individuall good action of that kind, which the D. calleth necessary, is no otherwise remunerable and laudable, then an individuall good action of that kinde which he calleth indifferent, for example; when I goe to heare Gods Word upon the Lords-day; let this action of mine be considered quo ad individuum: is it any otherwise remunerable, then in respect of the goodnesse which accompanieth it? whence it is, that the hearing of Hypocrites, not beeing accompanied with such goodnesse, is not remunerable: yet the hearing of the Word is an action necessary, because commanded. Now may we know wherein standeth the difference betwixt the remunerable good of this action of hearing, and the remunerable good of ⟨p. 4⟩one of those actions which the D. calleth indifferent; for example, a womans action of marrying?
I perceive what the D. would answer. For he gsaith; if a woman marry in the Lord, this action is good respectu adjecti modi, quamvis in se sit media & libera, etiam quo ad individuum. Implying, that if on the other part an individual action be necessary, (as for example the action of hearing the Word,) then it is in it selfe good, etiam quo ad individuum.
