Every man must judge
And how shall we choose among so much variety? No man can choose for or prescribe to another. But everyone must follow the dictates of his own conscience, in simplicity and godly sincerity (2 Corinthians 1:12). He must be fully persuaded in his own mind (Romans 14:5), and then act according to the best light he has. Nor has any creature power to constrain another to walk by his own rule. God has given no right to any of the children of men thus to lord it over the conscience of his brethren (2 Corinthians 1:24). But every man must judge for himself, as every man must give an account of himself to God (Romans 14:12).

9. And how shall we chuse, among so much variety? No man can chuse for, or prescribe to another. But every one must follow the dictates of his own conscience, in simplicity and godly sincerity. He must be fully persuaded in his own mind, and then act according to the best light he has. Nor has any creature power to constrain another to walk by his own rule. God has given no right to any of the children of men, thus to lord it over the conscience of his brethren. But every man must judge for himself, as every man must give an account of himself to God.
