Quest. 2 What shall one doe when his Conscience is doubtfull?
Answ. For the declaration of this question, we must observe: First, Conscience is said to be doubtful in a large sense, as when the assent even of Faith, or Opinion prevaileth; yet there is some doubting joined. But strictly, and properly, that Conscience is named doubting, which yieldeth to neither part of the question in hand, but sticks and staggers between assent and dissent, not knowing which to do.
