warrand_a such_o and_o such_o a_o practice_n conscience_n look_v on_o it_o as_o god_n mind_n for_o direct_v it_o in_o its_o duty_n and_o on_o that_o account_n put_v on_o to_o it_o as_o to_o the_o 2d_o question_v how_o the_o conscience_n give_v this_o answer_n or_o how_o it_o make_v its_o sense_n and_o language_n of_o thing_n know_v in_o answer_v to_o it_o we_o will_v be_v sober_a and_o not_o curious_a noâ—_n more_o particular_a than_o we_o have_v ground_n for_o in_o short_a then_o we_o conceive_v that_o there_o be_v these_o 4._o way_n how_o and_o whereby_o conscience_n give_v it_o answer_n to_o let_v people_n know_v when_o it_o be_v please_v or_o displease_v 1._o when_o it_o bind_v and_o tie_v such_o or_o such_o a_o word_n import_v such_o or_o such_o a_o duty_n on_o a_o man_n that_o he_o can_v no_o way_n get_v himself_o rid_v of_o nor_o it_o shake_v off_o as_o when_o he_o be_v dispute_v and_o debate_v within_o himself_o whither_o such_o a_o thing_n shall_v be_v do_v or_o not_o do_v conscience_n answer_v on_o good_a ground_n and_o either_o bid_v he_o abstain_v or_o do_v and_o have_v a_o pour_v with_o it_o because_o the_o word_n of_o god_n command_v or_o forbid_v it_o and_o this_o be_v not_o only_o because_o there_o be_v a_o word_n for_o it_o or_o against_o it_o but_o clear_a light_n draw_v a_o conclusion_n from_o such_o a_o word_n whereupon_o the_o conscience_n bind_v it_o on_o the_o man_n so_o that_o it_o can_v be_v get_v shift_v nor_o shake_v off_o for_o we_o know_v that_o man_n may_v know_v many_o duty_n and_o yet_o not_o do_v they_o and_o upon_o the_o other_o hand_n that_o man_n may_v be_v stir_v or_o pouss_v on_o to_o do_v that_o which_o it_o be_v not_o god_n mind_n they_o shall_v do_v so_o than_o it_o be_v the_o answer_n of_o conscience_n when_o the_o word_n and_o the_o conclusion_n of_o conscience_n be_v connect_v and_o join_v together_o so_o as_o the_o one_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o the_o other_o and_o flow_v from_o the_o other_o and_o this_o be_v the_o most_o special_a way_n how_o conscience_n make_v its_o sense_n of_o thing_n know_v the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o conscience_n a_o second_o way_n be_v by_o some_o secret_a discontent_n or_o restlessness_n in_o the_o conscience_n if_o a_o man_n do_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o be_v not_o duty_n or_o if_o he_o do_v not_o such_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v point_v out_o to_o he_o to_o be_v duty_n either_o through_o ignorance_n or_o inadvertancy_n the_o conscience_n then_o as_o it_o be_v hunt_v the_o man_n with_o challenge_n disquiet_v and_o make_v he_o restless_a till_o he_o practise_v such_o a_o duty_n or_o abstain_v from_o such_o a_o sin_n and_o this_o we_o find_v to_o have_v be_v often_o in_o the_o saint_n record_v in_o scripture_n they_o have_v have_v no_o rest_n till_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v do_v and_o such_o a_o thing_n abstain_v from_o which_o flow_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o conscience_n accuse_v or_o breed_v discontent_n because_o of_o unanswerableness_a to_o the_o rule_n 3_o conscience_n have_v a_o way_n of_o signify_v its_o mind_n by_o make_v some_o impression_n of_o terror_n to_o back_o and_o second_v more_o than_o ordinary_a conviction_n of_o and_o threaten_n and_o challenge_v for_o sin_n when_o sin_n be_v commit_v conscience_n convince_v and_o challenge_v when_o this_o do_v not_o the_o turn_n upon_o the_o back_n thereof_o come_v the_o threaten_a and_o some_o fit_n of_o terror_n sometime_o the_o threaten_a be_v conditional_a sometime_o the_o peremptory_a certification_n be_v add_v sometime_o again_o the_o impression_n of_o the_o threaten_a will_v be_v more_o sensible_a sometime_o more_o insensible_a when_o conscience_n give_v advice_n and_o dictate_v from_o the_o word_n it_o make_v use_v of_o the_o command_n but_o in_o the_o sense_n we_o be_v now_o speak_v of_o it_o make_v use_v of_o the_o threaten_n as_o for_o instance_n it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o three_o command_n the_o lord_n will_v not_o hold_v he_o guiltless_a that_o take_v his_o name_n in_o vain_a now_o for_o any_o degree_n of_o this_o guilt_n conscience_n challenge_v and_o when_o that_o be_v slight_v thereupon_o conscience_n go_v on_o and_o make_v the_o threaten_a terrible_a for_o challenge_n bear_v in_o conviction_n of_o sin_n and_o conviction_n represent_v the_o threaten_n as_o more_o terrible_a and_o threaten_n bear_v in_o the_o apprehension_n of_o wrath_n and_o hence_o be_v the_o exercise_n of_o conscience_n in_o some_o that_o wakn_v and_o raise_v a_o terrible_a storm_n in_o it_o a_o four_o way_n how_o conscience_n give_v its_o answer_n and_o make_v its_o mind_n know_v be_v by_o a_o inconceivable_a inward_a calmness_n peace_n serenity_n and_o tranquillity_n in_o the_o soul_n so_o that_o when_o a_o man_n reflect_v on_o his_o do_v of_o such_o and_o such_o a_o thing_n and_o compare_v it_o with_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o word_n find_v it_o agreeable_a to_o the_o same_o all_o his_o terror_n evanish_v his_o mind_n be_v calm_v and_o he_o find_v much_o sweet_a peace_n delight_n and_o acquiesence_n in_o the_o thing_n this_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o conscience_n give_v its_o answer_n all_o which_o have_v great_a need_n to_o be_v careful_o compare_v with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o that_o his_o mind_n therein_o be_v very_o clear_a because_o as_o there_o may_v be_v much_o bastard_n peace_n on_o the_o one_o hand_n so_o there_o may_v be_v many_o groundless_a challenge_n on_o the_o other_o which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v for_o the_o language_n of_o conscience_n as_o for_o the_o 3d_o question_v what_o man_n be_v to_o do_v that_o they_o may_v find_v out_o and_o get_v a_o clear_a answer_n from_o their_o conscience_n or_o what_o be_v call_v for_o from_o they_o to_o find_v out_o the_o answer_n of_o conscience_n we_o shall_v answer_v this_o in_o these_o three_o 1._o something_o be_v to_o be_v do_v before_o we_o put_v ourselves_o to_o the_o search_n or_o conscience_n to_o give_v

conscience_n to_o it_o to_o give_v its_o answer_n and_o 1._o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o man_n be_v well_o inform_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o thing_n in_o general_a for_o to_o come_v blind_o to_o conscience_n be_v to_o tempt_v it_o and_o make_v it_o a_o snare_n to_o ourselves_o therefore_o i_o say_v we_o shall_v be_v well_o inform_v to_o the_o end_n that_o conscience_n may_v have_v ground_n to_o give_v a_o clear_a answer_n for_o our_o conscience_n be_v like_o the_o judge_n and_o our_o understanding_n like_o the_o advocate_n that_o make_v the_o cause_n know_v and_o if_o all_o thing_n pro_fw-la and_o contra_fw-la for_o and_o against_o be_v not_o propose_v and_o discuss_v by_o the_o advocate_n conscience_n which_o be_v the_o judge_n can_v give_v a_o distinct_a answer_n or_o verdict_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o many_o conscience_n do_v err_v because_o there_o be_v not_o pain_n take_v to_o inform_v they_o 2_o when_o the_o judgement_n be_v inform_v man_n shall_v put_v the_o conscience_n to_o it_o to_o answer_v they_o shall_v not_o content_v themselves_o with_o this_o that_o they_o have_v fill_v their_o head_n with_o so_o many_o argument_n for_o such_o a_o thing_n but_o shall_v let_v they_o sink_v down_o to_o the_o conscience_n and_o study_v to_o know_v what_o conscience_n think_v of_o they_o for_o conscience_n as_o we_o say_v before_o be_v some_o way_n beyond_o bare_a light_n therefore_o when_o we_o have_v get_v light_a in_o a_o thing_n we_o shall_v not_o hold_v there_o but_o take_v it_o aside_o and_o communicate_v the_o matter_n to_o conscience_n
