§ 7. I. For the First, 1. I am far from persuading any one to commit the least sin on pretence of Concord or Communion with any Church on earth. Their damnation is just, who say, Let us do evil that good may come. Sin may seem to serve us for a Job, but it will be bitter in the latter end.

2. I would not have any to stretch their Consciences for Worldly Interest, to believe that Sin is no Sin, or that they may do it because it is a little one. It is no little one to him that does it wilfully for Worldly Ends.

3. If an honest Christian mistake an indifferent thing to be a Sin, I would have him do his best to get a truer apprehension: But if he cannot, I would not have him do the thing: For he that can do that which he thinks a sin, tho by mistake, can as easily commit a real sin: And it is a real sin to him: for St. Paul saith, He that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatever is not of faith, is sin.
