When we speak of the indifferency of an action _comparate_, the sense is only this, that it is neither better nor worse than another action, and that there is no reason to make us choose to do it more than another thing; but when we speak of the indifferency of an action considered absolutely and by itself, the simple meaning is, whether it be either good or evil, and whether the doing of the same must needs be either sin or evil doing.
The Works of Mr. George Gillespie (Vol. 1 of 2) George Gillespie 1630
