1The abusing of Christian liberty, or of giving of offence in things indifferent, which is, by using of the things indifferent, to confirm errors in the minds of the Adversaries, or in their minds that are weak, or to alienate them from true Religion, or by our example to provoke them to an imitation accompanied with an evil conscience.2 If thy brother be grieved for thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably; destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. Take heed, lest by any means this power of yours be an occasion of falling to them that are weak. And hereof it is that Saint Paul maketh a vow, that he might free himself from the suspicion of revolting from Moses.
