convictive

A new poem of Sappho, a gospel of Mary Magdalene, accounts of the convictive value of Sophia – woman wisdom – as a driving theological force, are only now emerging from fragments of papyrus that have lain undisturbed in Edwardian biscuit tins in Oxford or reused as cartonage in Egyptian funeral masks.

And upon this Head I will further add: A wise and a just Magistrate, may so far give way to a common Stream of Dissatisfaction, as to forbear acting up to the heighth of his own Perswasion, about what may be judged convictive of a Crime, whose Nature shall be so abstruse and obscure, as to raise much Disputation.

Confidence, not fear, is the keynote of a strong and convictive doctrine.

Laws in many Nations have been enacted against those vile practices; those amongst the Jews and our own are notorious; such cases have often been determined near us by wise and reverend Judges, upon clear and convictive Evidence; and thousands of our own Nation have suffered death for their vile compacts with Apostate spirits.

Convictive is only the consequential sense.
