make_v unto_o god_n or_o by_o our_o promise_n which_o we_o lawful_o make_v unto_o man_n the_o vow_n which_o we_o free_o make_v unto_o god_n these_o bind_v conscience_n to_o keep_v they_o numb_a 30.4_o

conscience_n reason_n 1._o because_o god_n only_o know_v the_o heart_n he_o see_v our_o thought_n and_o he_o only_o can_v reach_v to_o the_o secret_n of_o our_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o he_o only_o can_v bind_v our_o conscience_n for_o who_o else_o can_v tell_v whether_o we_o make_v conscience_n of_o a_o thing_n yea_o or_o no_o perhaps_o we_o do_v perhaps_o we_o do_v not_o nor_o man_n nor_o angel_n can_v tell_v certain_o but_o god_n know_v certain_o and_o he_o only_o and_o therefore_o he_o only_o can_v bind_v our_o conscience_n when_o the_o lord_n do_v command_v or_o forbid_v the_o conscience_n be_v privy_a that_o god_n see_v it_o and_o therefore_o now_o it_o be_v bind_v the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v quick_a and_o powerful_a 4.12_o it_o pierce_v even_o to_o the_o divide_v asunder_o of_o soul_n and_o spirit_n and_o be_v a_o discerner_n of_o the_o thought_n and_o intent_n of_o the_o heart_n this_o bind_v a_o man_n thought_n and_o intention_n he_o can_v be_v free_a in_o these_o thing_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v give_v by_o the_o apostle_n all_o thing_n be_v naked_a and_o open_a to_o the_o eye_n of_o he_o with_o who_o we_o have_v to_o do_v 13._o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v we_o be_v conscious_a of_o god_n all-seeing_a power_n he_o see_v our_o heart_n and_o our_o thought_n and_o all_o that_o be_v in_o we_o and_o therefore_o his_o word_n do_v bind_v we_o yea_o it_o bind_v all_o our_o secret_n we_o can_v think_v a_o vain_a thought_n but_o our_o conscience_n will_v cry_v guilty_a before_o god_n because_o our_o conscience_n do_v know_v that_o god_n know_v all_o beside_o the_o conscience_n can_v fear_v any_o law_n but_o only_a god_n law_n you_o know_v when_o conscience_n be_v once_o in_o a_o doubt_n it_o be_v fearful_a and_o begin_v to_o ask_v question_n with_o itself_o may_v i_o do_v this_o or_o may_v i_o not_o do_v it_o 10.27_o ask_n no_o question_n for_o conscience_n sake_n the_o conscience_n when_o it_o doubt_v use_v to_o ask_v question_n now_o this_o suppose_v the_o lawgiver_n to_o be_v able_a to_o see_v it_o otherwise_o the_o conscience_n will_v not_o be_v thus_o afraid_a if_o it_o be_v only_o the_o commandment_n of_o a_o creature_n that_o can_v not_o search_v the_o heart_n so_o that_o here_o you_o see_v one_o reason_n why_o god_n law_n be_v the_o supreme_a bond_n of_o conscience_n because_o no_o eye_n can_v see_v it_o but_o go_n 2._o because_o god_n only_o have_v power_n over_o conscience_n it_o be_v his_o commandment_n only_o that_o make_v any_o thing_n sin_n or_o not_o sin_n unto_o we_o augustine_n define_v sin_n to_o be_v a_o thought_n or_o word_n or_o deed_n or_o lust_n against_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n against_o thou_o 51.4_o against_o thou_o only_o have_v i_o sin_v say_v david_n he_o say_v he_o have_v sin_v only_o against_o god_n why_o you_o will_v say_v he_o sin_v also_o against_o man_n do_v not_o he_o commit_v adultery_n that_o be_v a_o sin_n against_o bathsheba_n and_o murder_v that_o be_v a_o sin_n against_o uriah_n true_o he_o sin_v against_o man_n relative_o in_o relation_n to_o the_o commandment_n which_o say_v thou_o shall_v not_o injure_v thy_o neighbour_n but_o primary_o and_o principal_o the_o sin_n be_v against_o god_n conscience_n be_v like_o the_o king_n servant_n who_o none_o can_v arrest_v or_o attach_v without_o leave_n from_o the_o king_n so_o no_o man_n can_v bind_v conscience_n without_o leave_n have_v from_o god_n for_o conscience_n be_v only_a subject_n to_o his_o power_n he_o only_o have_v power_n over_o conscience_n 3._o because_o conscience_n be_v god_n book_n now_o no_o creature_n can_v add_v to_o god_n book_n or_o diminish_v from_o it_o you_o may_v remember_v that_o dreadful_a anathema_n at_o the_o end_n of_o god_n book_n 19_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v add_v to_o this_o book_n god_n shall_v add_v to_o he_o the_o plague_n that_o be_v write_v in_o this_o book_n and_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v diminish_v from_o this_o book_n god_n shall_v take_v away_o his_o part_n out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o life_n now_o conscience_n be_v also_o god_n book_n wherein_o his_o law_n be_v write_v nay_o conscience_n be_v call_v god_n law_n for_o it_o be_v say_v 2.14_o that_o when_o the_o gentile_n which_o have_v not_o the_o law_n do_v the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n they_o have_v not_o the_o law_n be_v a_o law_n unto_o themselves_o that_o be_v their_o conscience_n be_v god_n law_n unto_o they_o like_a as_o the_o bible_n contain_v god_n law_n for_o we_o christian_n so_o do_v their_o conscience_n contain_v the_o law_n of_o god_n to_o they_o yea_o to_o we_o christian_n much_o rather_o for_o we_o be_v not_o to_o let_v god_n law_n be_v write_v only_o in_o our_o bibles_n but_o we_o must_v get_v it_o write_v in_o our_o conscience_n our_o conscience_n be_v to_o be_v god_n book_n wherein_o his_o law_n be_v to_o be_v write_v and_o therefore_o if_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o add_v a_o new_a law_n in_o the_o material_a book_n to_o bind_v man_n than_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o sin_n for_o any_o creature_n to_o put_v a_o new_a law_n into_o conscience_n which_o be_v the_o spiritual_a book_n of_o god_n it_o be_v god_n only_o who_o can_v write_v law_n in_o this_o book_n his_o book_n be_v above_o all_o the_o law_n in_o the_o world_n and_o none_o but_o god_n can_v put_v in_o and_o put_v out_o and_o therefore_o none_o but_o he_o can_v bind_v conscience_n i_o s●eak_v still_o of_o this_o absolute_a and_o supreme_a bond_n of_o conscience_n for_o magistrate_n may_v bind_v relative_o but_o not_o as_o they_o be_v the●r_a law_n but_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n before_o make_v thus_o you_o see_v the_o necessity_n of_o this_o truth_n that_o god_n law_n be_v the_o absolute_a and_o supreme_a bond_n of_o conscience_n uses_n 1._o this_o serve_v to_o direct_v minister_n how_o to_o convince_v the_o conscience_n of_o their_o people_n 1_o if_o minister_n desire_v to_o work_v upon_o their_o hearer_n they_o must_v speak_v to_o the_o

his_o conscience_n absolve_v he_o as_o clear_v of_o those_o sin_n nay_o the_o conscience_n of_o a_o child_n of_o god_n do_v not_o only_o absolve_v he_o from_o the_o guilt_n of_o those_o sin_n which_o he_o never_o commit_v but_o also_o from_o the_o guilt_n of_o those_o sin_n which_o he_o have_v commit_v against_o god_n or_o against_o man_n it_o can_v tell_v he_o he_o have_v true_o repent_v and_o true_o be_v humble_v and_o true_o get_v pardon_n you_o know_v david_n have_v commit_v divers_a sin_n yet_o when_o he_o have_v humble_v his_o soul_n before_o god_n and_o obtain_v pardon_n his_o

have_v many_o infirmity_n daily_a and_o hourly_o yet_o his_o conscience_n do_v absolve_v he_o it_o be_v no_o more_o i_o that_o do_v it_o say_v his_o conscience_n but_o sin_n that_o dwell_v in_o i_o
