§. 30.

16. Subject∣ing your self to another's conduct.

Subjecting your actions, in all things (not contrary to the law of God; which things, where is any doubt, you are to learn from your spiritual Superiors) to the conduct, and guidance, and commands of another. And this accord∣ing to some prescriptions of a rule, or otherwise. Or at least subjecting the most considerable; or those more doubt∣ful. Whose reason, if not of better judgment (though such you may have, if not faulty in your choice) yet void of passion in another mans affairs, can better guide you, than your own (some way, or other) partial affections.
