“Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?”
As if he said, Are ye become so impudent, that you are not ashamed to make the Gospel a laughingstock to profane men? Before the unjust. He addeth that he doth not forbid that one neighbor may go to law with another, if need so require, but yet under holy judges. The third question is of civil judgments: Whether it be lawful for one faithful to draw another faithful before the judgment seat of an infidel? He answereth that it is not lawful, for offense sake, for it is not evil of itself.
