Mr. Calamy. O add not reproach unto affliction▪ O Sir, we would not have left our callings and stations for fear of death, we must now leave them for fear of that which is worse then death: we would willingly die rather then not serve the Lord in our calling: we must rather not serve the Lord in our calling then sin.
An honest man. Really I am afraid that while you think you avoid sin by refusing Ceremonies which are indifferent, you committed sin in neglecting your calling, which was necessary.
Mr. Calamy. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind: what is but indifferent in your apprehension, was sinful in mine, and every man must give an account of himself.
Mr. Calamy. Let every man be fully perswaded in his own mind: what is but indifferent in your apprehension, was sinful in mine, and every man must give an account of himself.
B.S. It is not what you think of the thing imposed can secure your conscience, but what they are▪ that which is good remains good, and that which is evil, evil: and that in the very same degree of good and evil as it was before, neither better nor worse, any mans particular judgement or opinion thereof notwithstanding.
