necessity of doing a thing indifferent or not
“The Christian liberty (saith Paybody 81 ), is not taken away by the necessity of doing a thing indifferent, or not doing, but only by that necessity which takes away the opinion or persuasion of its indifferency,” So saith Dr Burges, 82 “That the ceremonies in question are ordained to be used necessarily, though the judgment concerning them, and immediate conscience to God, be left free.”
— from The Works of Mr. George Gillespie (Vol. 1 of 2) by George Gillespie
