I. Scripture use of words in Sacred Things is our best Dictionary. He that is our great Teacher, knoweth how to speak: If you dislike his words, methinks you should not accuse Men of Error, and that against the common sense of all that you meet with, for imitating God, and speaking as he doth: And that at the same time when you are defending one that would have no Mode, or Accidentals in Worship used, which God prescribeth not. If by my words I must be Justified, or Condemned, ⟨p. 19⟩I hope God will not condemn me for speaking as he taught me, no more then for doing as he bid me, though all your party should do it▪ And I can bear their Condemnation.

The Hebrew phrase which we translate by Displeasing God or Man, is oft [It was Evil in his Eyes] which speaketh a positive Act of the Understanding de malo: And that there was no answerable Act of the Will, let him say that dare.
