Whatsoever the inconvenience may be, it appears evidently to be a truth, for we must answer unto God for our actions, therefore we must know the rule of our actions; therefore, First, let the inconveniency be what it will, the truth §1is good. But secondly, I say this, that every one must judge ⟨p. 342⟩§2so far as it concerns his own act, he cannot judge so far as it concerns the Magistrates act what is fit for the Magistrate to command,1 nor the Ministers act what is fit for him to teach, but he may and he ought to judge so far as it concerns his own act; what I am to do so far as I must answer before God, I must judg it so, but if I be taught and commanded by authority one thing and I judg another, I go upon mine own peril, that is, if I do not judge right I sin against God and incur punishment from God and I must run the hazard; but to judge that which must be the rule of my act, that is a certain truth belonging unto every man.
