A tender conscience feareth an oath, and dare not say, every man may swear a covenant with God in his own sense, yes, its a Jesuits conscience. 4. To carry on a design under pretence of Religion, with lies, breaking of oaths, treaties, promises, is a far other thing then tenderness.

2. How Antinomians, who deny that the regenerate have any conscience of sin, or that they are to confess, or be grieved in Conscience, for Incests, Adulteries, Murders, Rapes, Oppressions, or the like, or can crowd in under the lap of this veil of tender Consciences, is more then the truly godly can see.

And if this be, we shall not know who they are, who are to be termed tender consciences, who not.
