Special Rule 2: In Use
Scripture referenced in this chapter 2
2. In vse.
BY a thing indifferent in vse, is meant that which is not only free to be used, but also convenient in that time & place, before those persons where we are presently to use the same as if the thing be made by the law unlawful, & withal to have no good report, praise, or virtue in it, then is it not indifferent (Philippians 4:8). As dicing, wanton pictures, vain gestures, or whatever has any show of evil (1 Thessalonians 5:10, 22). Lastly, they are not indifferent in vse, if they give offence, as has been proved before.
