1Remember in general, we must never do any thing against Religion, against Conscience, against a mans particular Place and Calling, or against Justice. Let us not touch upon the breach of any good thing, especially of Religion and Conscience. Thus a man shall walk in the ways of God, if with Wisdom and Prudence he consider what ways are before him, to God, to himself, to others: in all conditions and states of life, to see what he must, and what he must not do, and then to walk in them answerably.
