Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theological Works of the Most Reverend John Sharp, D.D., Late Archbishop of York, Vol. 2 of 5 III. Having thus given an account of the rule of conscience, that which naturally follows next to be considered, with reference to our present design, is, what share human laws have in this rule of con science; whether they be a part of this rule, and do really bind a man's conscience to the observance of them, or no? Which is our third general head. Now as to this our answer is, that though the laws of God be the great, and indeed the only rule of conscience, yet the laws of men, generally speak ing, do also bind the conscience, and are a part of its rule, in a secondary sense; that is, by virtue of and in subordination to the laws of God.
