manner_n of_o scandal_n be_v when_o the_o act_n be_v evil_a in_o itself_o thus_o the_o act_n of_o david_n murder_n be_v scandalous_a 12.24_o and_o this_o kind_n of_o scandal_n be_v no_o way_n excusable_a be_v evil_a ratione_fw-la obiecti_fw-la which_o be_v proper_o sin_n the_o indirect_a scandal_n be_v see_v in_o act_n which_o be_v in_o their_o own_o nature_n good_a or_o at_o least_o not_o

this_o indirect_a scandal_n may_v happen_v to_o be_v after_o two_o sort_n sometime_o without_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o agent_n who_o have_v no_o meaning_n to_o give_v any_o such_o offence_n of_o which_o kind_n we_o may_v reckon_v the_o fact_n of_o saint_n peter_n when_o he_o do_v so_o partial_o apply_v himself_o unto_o the_o jew_n to_o the_o scandal_n of_o the_o gentile_n and_o this_o we_o call_v the_o less_o sin_n the_o other_o manner_n of_o indirect_a scandal_n be_v that_o which_o sometime_o proceed_v from_o the_o wicked_a intent_n in_o the_o scandalizer_n and_o such_o be_v the_o

not_o thereby_o scandalize_v that_o be_v not_o so_o offend_v as_o to_o stumble_v and_o fall_v and_o thus_o it_o may_v be_v say_v 16._o that_o peter_n do_v scandalize_v christ_n himself_o when_o wish_v christ_n to_o favour_v himself_o and_o not_o to_o die_v he_o receive_v that_o answer_n from_o christ_n satan_n thou_o be_v a_o scandal_n unto_o i_o for_o albeit_o this_o motion_n proceed_v from_o a_o

the_o party_n sect_n v._o our_o 3._o subsidivision_n of_o active_a scandal_n in_o respect_n both_o of_o person_n and_o cause_n either_o determine_v vndetermine_v a_o three_o subdivision_n be_v both_o

they_o eat_v say_v the_o apostle_n make_v no_o question_n for_o conscience_n sake_n 10.25_o why_o because_o god_n have_v give_v man_n a_o liberty_n to_o use_v such_o thing_n or_o not_o to_o use_v
