be_v not_o speak_v in_o sincerity_n many_o a_o man_n have_v go_v for_o a_o christian_n twenty_o or_o thirty_o year_n and_o every_o one_o like_v he_o and_o yet_o it_o may_v be_v his_o conscience_n have_v dislike_v he_o all_o the_o while_n iv._o a_o condemn_a conscience_n the_o four_o part_n of_o conscience_n office_n in_o this_o behalf_n be_v to_o condemn_v if_o we_o have_v do_v evil_a and_o contrary_a to_o god_n law_n conscience_n have_v a_o office_n not_o only_o to_o mislike_v we_o but_o also_o to_o condemn_v we_o nay_o it_o will_v hasten_v more_o to_o condemn_v we_o then_o god_n 3.7_o we_o see_v it_o in_o adam_n when_o adam_n have_v sin_v his_o conscience_n condemn_v he_o before_o god_n do_v he_o know_v he_o be_v naked_a that_o he_o have_v make_v his_o soul_n shameful_o naked_a his_o conscience_n condemn_v he_o for_o a_o apostate_n before_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o pass_v sentence_n upon_o he_o nay_o it_o condemn_v we_o often_o than_o god_n god_n will_v condemn_v a_o

the_o world_n eye_n god_n know_v how_o many_o of_o they_o have_v condemn_v conscience_n in_o their_o bosom_n for_o all_o their_o civility_n and_o formality_n and_o cry_v god_n mercy_n and_o patch_v up_o hope_n many_o who_o will_v say_v that_o man_n be_v uncharitable_a who_o shall_v condemn_v they_o for_o such_o and_o such_o who_o it_o may_v be_v find_v conscience_n within_o so_o uncharitable_a and_o say_v plain_o you_o be_v so_o like_o the_o conscience_n of_o paul_n heretic_n who_o be_v say_v to_o be_v condemn_v of_o himself_o 3.11_o i._o 1_o this_o serve_v for_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n that_o he_o may_v be_v just_a when_o he_o judge_v the_o lord_n need_v no_o other_o witness_n against_o we_o but_o our_o own_o conscience_n they_o make_v way_n for_o the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n you_o may_v see_v this_o in_o this_o portion_n of_o scripture_n which_o we_o have_v in_o hand_n 2.15_o wherein_o be_v show_v both_o that_o god_n have_v appoint_v a_o day_n wherein_o he_o will_v judge_v the_o world_n vers_fw-la 16._o in_o the_o day_n when_o god_n shall_v judge_v the_o secret_n of_o all_o man_n according_a to_o my_o gospel_n and_o then_o in_o the_o verse_n go_v before_o the_o apostle_n show_v that_o now_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o every_o man_n conscience_n make_v way_n for_o this_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n their_o conscience_n bear_v witness_n and_o their_o thought_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n accuse_v or_o excuse_v one_o another_o at_o the_o last_o day_n every_o man_n shall_v be_v judge_v according_a to_o his_o conscience_n a_o child_n of_o god_n according_a to_o he_o a_o carnal_a man_n according_a to_o he_o the_o lord_n shall_v absolve_v all_o his_o child_n and_o their_o own_o conscience_n shall_v absolve_v they_o the_o lord_n shall_v condemn_v all_o the_o rest_n and_o their_o own_o conscience_n shall_v condemn_v they_o this_o be_v the_o book_n that_o every_o man_n life_n be_v set_v down_o in_o every_o passage_n of_o conversation_n both_o of_o the_o godly_a and_o the_o wicked_a be_v record_v daily_o in_o this_o book_n and_o according_a to_o what_o be_v write_v therein_o will_v the_o lord_n judge_v every_o soul_n at_o the_o last_o day_n as_o rev._n 20.12_o the_o dead_a be_v judge_v out_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n according_a to_o their_o work_n the_o apostle_n there_o speak_v prophetical_o and_o put_v the_o past_a time_n for_o the_o future_a they_o be_v judge_v that_o be_v they_o shall_v be_v judge_v so_o that_o you_o see_v that_o by_o the_o judgement_n of_o conscience_n way_n be_v make_v for_o the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n 2._o ii_o this_o shall_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o keep_v we_o from_o sin_n and_o to_o keep_v we_o in_o a_o holy_a life_n for_o according_a to_o our_o work_n so_o will_v be_v the_o evidence_n of_o our_o conscience_n whether_o they_o be_v good_a or_o evil_n we_o have_v need_v to_o take_v heed_n what_o we_o write_v in_o our_o conscience_n for_o according_a to_o what_o be_v write_v there_o so_o shall_v we_o be_v judge_v therefore_o if_o any_o sin_n stand_v upon_o record_n in_o our_o conscience_n we_o have_v need_n get_v it_o blot_v out_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n repent_v be_v humble_v beg_v for_o pardon_n rest_v not_o till_o thou_o see_v this_o debt-book_n conscience_n cross_v and_o thy_o sin_n stand_v there_o cancel_v and_o discharge_v thus_o i_o have_v show_v you_o the_o office_n of_o conscience_n about_o thing_n heretofore_o do_v now_o let_v i_o show_v you_o the_o affection_n of_o conscience_n in_o the_o discharge_n of_o these_o office_n you_o have_v hear_v that_o conscience_n have_v four_o office_n in_o thing_n heretofore_o do_v 1._o a_o office_n to_o approve_v 2._o a_o office_n to_o absolve_v 3._o a_o office_n to_o dislike_v 4._o a_o office_n to_o condemn_v the_o two_o former_a when_o we_o have_v do_v well_o and_o live_v well_o then_o the_o office_n of_o conscience_n be_v to_o approve_v and_o absolve_v the_o

conscience_n never_o stir_v about_o second_o the_o knowledge_n of_o ourselves_o be_v needful_a else_o conscience_n can_v act_v neither_o though_o we_o know_v what_o god_n law_n require_v and_o what_o not_o what_o be_v good_a and_o what_o not_o yet_o unless_o we_o know_v whether_o we_o go_v with_o it_o or_o against_o it_o conscience_n can_v accuse_v nor_o excuse_v as_o for_o example_n a_o close_a hypocrite_n he_o know_v well_o enough_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v condemn_v hypocrisy_n and_o that_o hypocrite_n must_v have_v their_o portion_n in_o hell_n yet_o if_o he_o do_v not_o know_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o hypocrite_n his_o conscience_n can_v never_o condemn_v he_o for_o be_v one_o and_o therefore_o both_o these_o knowledge_n be_v necessary_a as_o well_o the_o knowledge_n of_o a_o man_n self_n as_o of_o god_n law_n many_o who_o have_v a_o hand_n in_o crucify_a our_o saviour_n sin_v grievous_o yet_o they_o sin_v not_o against_o knowledge_n because_o they_o know_v not_o what_o they_o do_v father_n forgive_v they_o 23.34_o they_o know_v not_o what_o they_o do_v three_o it_o be_v a_o contradiction_n to_o say_v a_o blind_a conscience_n in_o act_n the_o conscience_n can_v be_v blind_a and_o yet_o actual_o condemn_v indeed_o the_o conscience_n itself_o may_v be_v blind_a but_o it_o can_v never_o act_v and_o be_v blind_a if_o it_o true_o accuse_v or_o excuse_v it_o must_v have_v some_o light_n it_o be_v true_a it_o may_v erroneous_o excuse_v or_o accuse_v and_o yet_o have_v no_o true_a light_n seem_v light_n be_v enough_o to_o do_v that_o seem_v knowledge_n be_v enough_o to_o make_v conscience_n erroneous_o excuse_v as_o they_o who_o kill_v the_o apostle_n 16.2_o their_o conscience_n excuse_v they_o and_o tell_v they_o they_o do_v god_n good_a service_n they_o seem_v to_o know_v it_o be_v good_a service_n to_o god_n and_o therefore_o their_o conscience_n excuse_v they_o etc._n etc._n thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o light_a that_o conscience_n work_v by_o be_v knowledge_n the_o use_n of_o this_o point_n be_v first_o 1_o to_o let_v we_o see_v the_o infinite_a necessity_n of_o knowledge_n as_o good_a have_v no_o conscience_n at_o all_o as_o conscience_n without_o knowledge_n for_o it_o can_v act_v and_o perform_v its_o office_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o so_o many_o thousand_o go_v on_o in_o their_o sin_n without_o repentance_n because_o be_v ignorant_a they_o have_v no_o conscience_n to_o prick_v they_o thereunto_o as_o jer._n 8.6_o no_o man_n repent_v he_o of_o his_o wickedness_n say_v what_o have_v i_o do_v why_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o conscience_n do_v not_o prick_v they_o and_o say_v this_o thou_o have_v do_v and_o that_o thus_o you_o have_v rebel_v &_o c_o the_o text_n answer_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n my_o people_n know_v not_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o stork_n know_v her_o time_n and_o the_o turtle_n and_o the_o swallow_n but_o my_o people_n do_v not_o know_v their_o duty_n 2._o another_o use_n be_v to_o exhort_v we_o that_o we_o will_v labour_v to_o perfect_v the_o light_n of_o conscience_n that_o it_o may_v be_v able_a to_o guide_v we_o and_o direct_v we_o unto_o heaven_n our_o conscience_n have_v knowledge_n enough_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n to_o make_v we_o inexcusable_a and_o to_o clear_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n though_o he_o shall_v damn_v we_o for_o ever_o but_o there_o must_v be_v a_o great_a light_n than_o that_o that_o must_v guide_v we_o to_o heaven_n o_o let_v we_o pray_v to_o christ_n the_o true_a light_n to_o set_v up_o this_o light_n in_o we_o that_o we_o may_v never_o be_v at_o a_o loss_n in_o our_o way_n to_o happiness_n never_o step_v out_o of_o the_o right_a path_n but_o our_o conscience_n may_v be_v able_a to_o put_v we_o in_o again_o never_o go_v slow_o but_o our_o conscience_n may_v spur_v we_o on_o fast_a that_o our_o conscience_n may_v not_o be_v like_o the_o snuff_n of_o a_o candle_n in_o a_o socket_n that_o flame_v up_o now_o and_o then_o and_o then_o be_v dark_a again_o and_o again_o it_o flame_v out_o and_o be_v dark_a again_o a_o man_n may_v see_v his_o book_n by_o it_o but_o he_o can_v see_v to_o read_v he_o may_v see_v his_o pen_n and_o ink_n by_o it_o but_o he_o can_v see_v to_o write_v a_o woman_n may_v see_v her_o needle_n and_o cloth_n by_o it_o but_o she_o can_v see_v to_o work_v so_o it_o be_v with_o some_o man_n conscience_n their_o light_n be_v so_o dim_a that_o they_o can_v see_v the_o duty_n but_o they_o can_v see_v to_o do_v they_o they_o can_v see_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n but_o they_o can_v see_v to_o obey_v they_o o_o labour_n to_o perfect_v the_o light_n of_o your_o conscience_n that_o you_o may_v see_v to_o walk_v by_o they_o and_o thus_o much_o also_o of_o the_o second_o proposition_n the_o light_n that_o conscience_n act_v by_o be_v knowledge_n now_o i_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o three_o proposition_n which_o as_o i_o first_o propound_v they_o be_v this_o the_o bond_n that_o bind_v conscience_n be_v god_n law_n but_o i_o will_v now_o a_o little_a alter_v the_o method_n and_o make_v the_o other_o which_o be_v propound_v last_o to_o be_v the_o three_o in_o the_o handle_n and_o it_o be_v this_o proposition_n iii_o the_o office_n of_o conscience_n be_v to_o bear_v witness_n to_o accuse_v or_o excuse_v conscience_n be_v put_v into_o this_o office_n
