It is a necessary Christian Duty to see that we do not the least Evil for our own safety: And all God's Ordinances must be maintained as far as we can: But as I before disclaimed the Arrogance of determining the Controversy about our Diocesan Episcopacy, so I think not every Legal Right of the Church (which it hath by Man's Law), nor every thing in our Liturgy, to be worthy so stiff a maintenance, as to the loss of Life; nor the loss of Peace: Nor did the late King think so, who would have let go so much. But I think that they that did this [carnally for Self-interest and Ends] did grievously sin, whether the thing it self were good or bad: especially if they went against their Consciences.
