If people are forced and driven contrary to their own consciences, gift and proportion of faith, to make shipwreck of both, they go out of the bounds of humanity, and course of nature, into unreasonableness, and setting the whole course of nature on fire, where all the members are unruly and out of order, from the tongue, hand, lip, to the foot. It is said that the unreasonable man does not have faith. Therefore the way to bring people into unreasonableness, and to set the whole course of nature on fire, is to bring and force to act contrary to their own consciences, and contrary to their measure of faith, and what is not of faith is sin. Therefore to keep people in the reasonableness, is to let them have their faith, and not act contrary to it or contrary to a good conscience; that keeps them both in reasonableness, and nature in its course, and their members in order.
