DVCTOR DVBITANTIVM,
OR,
The Rule of Conscience.
-
CHAP. I. The Rule of Conscience in general.
-
RULE 1. Conscience is the minde of a Man governed by a
Rule, and measured by the proportions of good
and evil, in order to practice;
viz. to conduct all our relations, and all our entercourse between God, our Neighbours, and our Selves: that is, in all moral actions. - RULE 2. The duty and offices of Conscience are to dictate, and to testify or bear witness; to accuse or ex∣cuse; to loose or binde.
- RULE 3. Be careful that prejudice or passion, fancy and affe∣ction, error or illusion, be not mistaken for Con∣science.
- RULE 4. The Conscience of a vicious man is an evil Judge, and an imperfect Rule.
- RULE 5. All Consciences are to walk by the same Rule, and that which is just to one, is so to all, in the like circumstances.
- RULE 6. In Conscience that which is first is truest, easiest, and most useful.
- RULE 7. Conscience by its several habitudes and relations, or tendencies toward its proper object, is divided into several kindes.
-
RULE 1. Conscience is the minde of a Man governed by a
Rule, and measured by the proportions of good
and evil, in order to practice;
-
CHAP. II. Of the Right or Sure Conscience.
- RULE 1. A right Conscience is that which guides our actions by right and proportion'd means to a right end.
- RULE 2. In a right Conscience, the practical judgement, that is, the last determination to an action, ought to be sure and evident.
- RULE 3. The practical judgement of a right Conscience is al∣ways agreeable to the speculative determination of the Understanding.
- RULE 4. A judgement of nature, or inclination, is not suffici∣ent to make a sure Conscience.
- RULE 5. When two motives concurre to the determination of an action, whereof one is vertuous, and the other secular, a Right Conscience is not preju∣dic'd by that mixture.
- RULE 6. An argument not sufficient nor competent, though it doe perswade us to a thing in it self good, is not the ground of a right, nor a sufficient war∣rant for a sure Conscience.
- RULE 7. A Conscience determin'd by the counsel of wise men, even against its own inclinations, may be sure and right.
- RULE 8. He that sins against a right and a sure Conscience, whatever the instance be, commits a great sin, but not a double one.
- RULE 9. The goodness of an object is not made by Consci∣ence, but is accepted, declared, and published by it, and made personally obligatory.
-
CHAP. III. Of the Confident, or Erroneous Conscience.
- RULE 1. An Erroneous Conscience commands us to doe what we ought to omit; or to omit what we ought to doe, or to doe it otherwise then we should.
- RULE 2. An erroneous Conscience binds us to obedience, but not so as a right Conscience does.
- RULE 3. A Conscience erring vincibly or culpably is an un∣avoidable cause of sin, whether it be resisted, or complied with.
- RULE 4. It is greater sin to doe a good action against our Conscience, then to doe an evil action in obedi∣ence to it.
- RULE 5. It is not lawful to delight in an evil action (after the discovery of our error) which we did innocently in an erroneous Conscience.
- RULE 6. An innocent, or invincibly erring Conscience is to be obeyed even against the known Commande∣ment of our Superiours.
- RULE 7. The error of an abused Conscience ought to be re∣formed, sometimes by the command of the will, but ordinarily by a contrary reason.
- RULE 8. The error of a Conscience is not always to be ope∣ned to the erring person by the Guides of souls, or any other charitable adviser.
-
CHAP. IV. Of the Probable or Thinking Conscience.
- RULE 1. A probable Conscience is an imperfect assent to an uncertain proposition, in which one part is indeed clearly and fully chosen, but with an explicit, or implicit notice that the contrary is also fairly eli∣gible.
- RULE 2. A Conscience that is at first, and in its own nature probable, may be made certain by accumulation of many probabilities operating the same perswa∣sion.
- RULE 3. Of two opinions equally probable, upon the account of their proper reasons, one may be safer then an∣other.
- RULE. 4. An opinion that is speculatively probable, is not al∣ways practically the same.
- RULE 5. The greater probability destroys the less.
- RULE 6. When two opinions seem equally probable, the last determination is to be made by accidents, circum∣stances, and collateral inducements.
- RULE 7. It is not lawful to change our practical sentence about the same object, while the same probability remains.
- RULE 8. An opinion relying upon very slender probability is not to be followed, except in the cases of great ne∣cessity, or great charity.
- RULE 9. Multitude of Authors is not ever the most probable inducement, nor doth it in all cases make a safe and probable Conscience.
- RULE 10. In following the authority of men, no Rule can be antecedently given for the choice of the persons, but the choice is wholly to be conducted by pru∣dence, and according to the subject matter.
- RULE 11. He that hath given assent to one part of a probable opinion, may lawfully depose that Conscience, and that opinion upon confidence of the sentence of another.
- RULE 12. He that inquires of several Doctors until he finde one answering according to his minde, cannot by that inquiry make his Conscience safe; but ac∣cording to the subject matter, and other circum∣stances he may.
- RULE 13. He that is asked concerning a case that is on either side probable, may answer against his own opi∣nion, if the contrary be probable and more safe, or more expedient and favourable.
- RULE 14. When the guide of souls is of a different opinion from his charge or penitent, he is not bound to ex∣act conformity to his own opinion that is but pro∣bable, but may proceed according to the consci∣ence of the penitent.
- RULE 15. The sentence and arbitrement of a prudent and good man, though it be of it self but probable, yet is more then a probable warranty to actions other∣wise undeterminable.
-
CHAP. V. Of a doubtful Conscience.
- RULE 1. A doubtful Conscience assents to neither side of the question, and brings no direct obligation.
- RULE 2. A negative doubt neither binds to action, nor inqui∣ry, nor repentance; but it binds onely to caution and observance.
- RULE 3. A privative doubt cannot of it self hinder a man from acting what he is moved to by an extrinsick argu∣ment, or inducement that is in it self prudent or innocent.
- RULE 4. In doubts of Right, or Law, we are always bound to inquire; but in doubts of fact not always.
- RULE 5. In doubts the safer part is to be chosen.
- RULE 6. It is lawful for the Conscience to proceed to action against a doubt that is meerly speculative.
- RULE 7. Every dictate and judgement of the Conscience, though it be little and less material, is sufficient and may be made use of for the deposition of a doubt.
- RULE 8. VVhen two precepts contrary to each other meet to∣gether about the same question, that is to be pre∣ferred which binds most.
-
CHAP. VI. Of the Scrupulous Conscience.
- RULE 1. A Scruple is a great trouble of minde proceeding from a little motive, and a great indisposition, by which the conscience though sufficiently determi∣ned by proper arguments, dares not proceed to action, or if it doe, it cannot rest.
- RULE 2. A Conscience sufficiently instructed by its proper arguments of perswasion, may without sin proceed to action against the scruple and its weaker argu∣ings or stronger tremblings.
- RULE 3. He that is troubled with scruples, ought to rely upon the judgement of a prudent Guide.
- RULE 4. When a doubt is resolved in the entrance of an acti∣on, we must judge of our action afterwards by the same measures as before; for he that changes his measures, turns his doubt into a scruple.
- RULE 5. A scrupulous Conscience is to be cured by remedies proper to the disease, and remedies proper to the man.
-
CHAP. I. The Rule of Conscience in general.
-
OF THE
RVLE OF CONSCIENCE.
viz.
The Laws Divine and Humane,
And
All collateral Obligations.
-
CHAP. I. Of the Law of Nature in general.
- RULE 1. The Law of Nature is the Universal Law of the world, or the Law of mankinde, concerning com∣mon necessities to which we are inclined by Na∣ture, invited by consent, prompted by reason, but is bound upon us onely by the commands of God.
- RULE 2. The law of Nature is the foundation of all laws and the measure of their obligation.
- RULE 3. The first and greatest band of the law of Nature is fear of punishment.
- RULE 4. The second band of vertue is love, and its proper and consequent deliciousness.
- RULE 5. The imperfection of some provisions in civil laws are supplied by the Natural obligation remaining up∣on persons civilly incapable.
- RULE 6. Sins against the laws of Nature are greater or less, not by that proportion, but by the greatness of the matter, and the evil consequent, or the ma∣lice of the sinner.
- RULE 7. Actions which are forbidden by the law of Nature either for defect of power, or for the incapa∣city of the matter, are not onely unlawful but also void.
- RULE 8. When an act is forbidden by the law of Nature for the turpitude and undecency that it hath in the matter of the Action, the act is also void when the turpitude remains or hath a perpetual cause.
- RULE 9. The law of Nature can be dispensed with, by the Divine power.
- RULE X. The law of Nature cannot be dispensed with by any humane power.
- RULE 11. That the obligation to a Natural law does cease in any particular, is not to be presum'd by every one, but is to be declared by the publike voice.
- RULE 12. The exactness of Natural laws is capable of inter∣pretation, and may be allayed by equity, and piety, and necessity.
-
CHAP. II. Of the Law of Nature, or of all Man-kinde,
As it is commanded, digested, and perfected,
By our Supreme Lawgiver
JESVS CHRIST.
viz. Of the Christian law, the great Rule of Conscience.
- RULE 1. When the law of Jesus Christ was established, the old Testament, or the law of Moses did no lon∣ger oblige the Conscience.
- RULE 2. The Ceremonial law of Moses is wholly void.
- RULE 3. The Judicial law of Moses is annul'd, or abroga∣ted, and retains no obliging power either in whole or in part over any Christian Prince, Commonwealth, or Person.
- RULE 4. The ten Commandements of Moses, commonly called the Moral law, is not a perfect digest of the law of Nature.
- RULE 5. All the explications of the Moral law which are found in the Prophets and other holy writers of the Old Testament, are to be accounted as parts of the Moral law, and equally obliging the Conscience.
- RULE 6. Every thing in the Decalogue is not obligatory to Christians, is not a portion of the Moral or Na∣tural law.
- RULE 7. There is no state of Men or things but is to be gui∣ded by the proportion of some Rule or precept in the Christian law.
-
CHAP. III. Of the Interpretation and Obligation of the Laws of
JESVS CHRIST.
- RULE 1. In Negative precepts the Affirmatives are comman∣ded, and in the Affirmative commandements the Negatives are included.
- RULE 2. When a Negative and an Affirmative seem op∣posite in any sence, the Affirmative is to be expounded by the Negative, not the Negative by the Affirmative.
- RULE 3. In the Affirmative and Negative precepts of Christ, not onely what is in the words of the Comman∣dement, but whatsoever is Symbolical or alike, is equally forbidden or commanded.
- RULE 4. When any thing is forbidden, by the Laws of Jesus Christ, all those things are forbidden also which follow from that forbidden action, and for whose sake it was forbidden.
- RULE 5. The laws of Jesus Christ are the measures of the Spi∣rit, and are alwaies to be extended to a Spiritual signification.
- RULE 6. The imperate acts or outward expressions of the Vertue of one Commandement, must not con∣tradict the elicite acts of another.
- RULE 7. When any thing is forbidden by the Lawes of Christ, all those things also by which we come to that Sin are understood to be forbidden by the same Law.
- RULE 8. The suppositive propositions with the supervening advices of our Blessed Saviour are alwaies equi∣valent to matter of duty, and are by interpretati∣on a Commandement.
- RULE 9. The institution of a Rite or Sacrament by our Bles∣sed Saviour is a direct law, and passes a proper obligation in its whole integrity.
- RULE 10. If the sence of a Law be dubious, we are some∣times to expound it by Liberty, sometimes by Restraint.
- RULE 11. The positive laws of Jesus Christ cannot be dispensed with by any humane power.
- RULE 12. Not every thing that is in the Sermons and Doctrine of Jesus Christ was intended to bind as a law or Commandement.
- RULE 13. Some things may be used in the service of God which are not commanded in any Law, nor explicitely commended in any doctrine of Jesus Christ.
- RULE XIV. The Christian law both of Faith and Manners is fully contained in the Holy Scriptures; and from thence onely can the Conscience have divine Warrant and Authority.
- RULE XV. In the Law of Christ there is no precept that wholly ministers to the Law of Moses; but for a time onely and less principally.
- RULE XVI. The Lawes of Jesus Christ are to be interpreted to the sense of a present obedience according to their subject matter.
- RULE XVII. Because the Lawes of Jesus Christ were delivered in Sermons to a single person, or a definite num∣ber of hearers, we are curiously to inquire and wisely to understand, when those persons were onely personally concerned, and when they were Representatives of the whole Church.
- RULE XVIII. Evangelical Lawes given to one concerning the duty of another doe in that very relation con∣cern them both; but in differing degrees.
- RULE XIX. Custome is no sufficient interpreter of the Lawes of Jesus Christ.
- RULE XX. The measure of perfection and obedience expected of Christians, is greater then that of the Jews, even in moral duties common to them and us.
