who_o corn_n and_o wine_n and_o oil_n increase_v we_o shall_v stand_v again_o before_o the_o god_n of_o our_o conscience_n for_o though_o he_o seem_v to_o frown_v and_o send_v affliction_n and_o cross_n and_o disease_n and_o death_n 38.3_o esai_n 38.3_o yet_o as_o hezekiahs_n jury_n give_v way_n to_o that_o comfortable_a prayer_n o_o lord_n remember_v i_o beseech_v thou_o how_o i_o have_v walk_v before_o thou_o with_o a_o upright_o heart_n so_o will_v we_o give_v way_n to_o our_o comfortable_a grasp_a of_o god_n and_o his_o promise_n that_o we_o perish_v not_o in_o trouble_n thus_o we_o have_v view_v these_o reason_a thought_n as_o a_o witness_n propound_v the_o truth_n us._n a_o judge_n within_o us._n and_o as_o a_o jury_n apply_v it_o to_o the_o party_n to_o be_v try_v we_o come_v now_o unto_o it_o as_o a_o judge_n conclude_v conclusion_n conclusion_n without_o all_o which_o three_o there_o can_v be_v no_o perfect_a reason_n whence_o i_o offer_v this_o point_n to_o consider_v that_o we_o have_v also_o in_o ourselves_o under_o god_n our_o judge_n for_o hence_o be_v it_o that_o we_o be_v say_v to_o have_v reason_v because_o as_o a_o judge_n we_o both_o open_a the_o law_n that_o the_o witness_n may_v propound_v fit_a truth_n and_o as_o a_o judge_n we_o determine_v according_o in_o the_o conclusion_n as_o it_o be_v with_o prince_n and_o king_n who_o be_v the_o high_a judge_n of_o their_o kingdom_n they_o have_v judge_n under_o they_o by_o deputation_n to_o who_o they_o commit_v their_o judgement_n of_o god_n and_o allot_v their_o several_a circuit_n so_o though_o god_n be_v the_o high_a judge_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n over_o the_o heart_n and_o conscience_n of_o all_o man_n yet_o do_v he_o depute_v these_o inferior_a judge_n in_o the_o circuit_n of_o every_o man_n breast_n to_o pass_v the_o conclusion_n and_o sentence_n of_o god_n hence_o be_v it_o that_o saint_n john_n do_v couple_n god_n and_o conscience_n in_o the_o selfsame_o action_n of_o a_o judge_n 3.20_o 1_o john_n 3.20_o if_o our_o heart_n condemn_v we_o god_n be_v great_a than_o our_o heart_n and_o know_v all_o thing_n to_o condemn_v we_o know_v be_v a_o action_n of_o a_o judge_n and_o how_o good_a cause_n we_o have_v to_o account_v our_o conscience_n our_o judge_n will_v appear_v if_o we_o consider_v these_o three_o point_n first_o that_o sentence_n which_o be_v give_v by_o conscience_n be_v confirm_v by_o god_n we_o see_v that_o so_o soon_o as_o adam_n have_v sin_v though_o no_o man_n pursue_v he_o no_o angel_n reprove_v he_o and_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v he_o find_v himself_o condemn_v by_o the_o inward_a judge_n and_o when_o god_n come_v he_o ratify_v the_o same_o sentence_n but_o we_o can_v think_v that_o god_n will_v confirm_v the_o sentence_n of_o a_o rebel_n who_o have_v set_v himself_o in_o god_n throne_n to_o judge_v without_o god_n second_o such_o be_v the_o majesty_n and_o authority_n of_o conscience_n that_o it_o stand_v against_o all_o the_o world_n look_v as_o a_o good_a judge_n though_o all_o the_o world_n do_v plead_v against_o the_o truth_n yet_o he_o be_v for_o it_o and_o will_v not_o revoke_v his_o judgement_n so_o be_v it_o with_o conscience_n therefore_o do_v the_o apostle_n set_v the_o sentence_n of_o conscience_n against_o the_o calumny_n of_o all_o man_n say_v 4_o 1_o c●●●●_n 4_o i_o pass_v very_o little_a to_o be_v judge_v by_o you_o or_o of_o man_n judgement_n no_o i_o judge_v not_o myself_o for_o i_o know_v nothing_o by_o myself_o and_o so_o forth_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v you_o be_v very_o forward_o in_o censure_v i_o both_o in_o respect_n of_o my_o gift_n and_o faithfulness_n in_o my_o place_n i_o weigh_v your_o censure_n little_a though_o i_o will_v not_o be_v the_o preacher_n of_o my_o own_o praise_n yet_o i_o tell_v you_o i_o know_v nothing_o by_o myself_o thus_o conscience_n of_o his_o faithfulness_n do_v bear_v he_o out_o against_o the_o slander_n of_o false_a apostle_n three_o where_o conscience_n terrifi_v no_o creature_n can_v comfort_v the_o pleasure_n of_o paradise_n avail_v not_o adam_n when_o he_o be_v drive_v to_o hide_v his_o head_n in_o

excellent_a be_v that_o similitude_n which_o a_o ancient_a make_v to_o this_o purpose_n a_o man_n condemn_v to_o die_v tri_v his_o three_o friend_n to_o procure_v his_o pardon_n one_o say_v i_o have_v no_o grace_n with_o the_o king_n and_o therefore_o i_o can_v promise_v thou_o no_o such_o kindness_n yet_o this_o will_v i_o do_v i_o will_v buy_v thou_o meat_n and_o drink_v garment_n and_o music_n thou_o shall_v want_v nothing_o that_o may_v give_v thou_o content_v while_o thou_o be_v here_o all_o this_o be_v good_a and_o yet_o it_o content_v not_o because_o the_o poor_a man_n want_v a_o

thou_o to_o the_o court_n gate_n all_o this_o be_v good_a kindness_n and_o yet_o it_o content_v not_o because_o the_o poor_a condemn_a man_n will_v have_v a_o pardon_n the_o three_o say_v rest_v

indeed_o behold_v the_o case_n be_v we_o we_o be_v poor_a condemn_v wretch_n who_o must_v to_o hell_n without_o our_o pardon_n our_o three_o friend_n be_v the_o world_n wife_n child_n and_o kindred_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n the_o world_n will_v provide_v all_o necessary_n for_o our_o body_n but_o not_o a_o pardon_n this_o be_v not_o purchase_v with_o a_o corruptible_a price_n of_o silver_n

a_o good_a conscience_n will_v make_v we_o outstand_v all_o danger_n it_o will_v procure_v our_o peace_n and_o our_o pardon_n as_o the_o world_n can_v help_v where_o conscience_n hurt_v so_o the_o world_n can_v hurt_v where_o conscience_n help_v use_v thus_o we_o have_v consider_v this_o judge_a power_n of_o conscience_n oh_o that_o we_o have_v heart_n to_o do_v our_o office_n to_o conscience_n and_o to_o press_v our_o conscience_n to_o do_v their_o office_n to_o and_o for_o we_o neither_o can_v be_v do_v without_o our_o care_n yet_o we_o must_v do_v both_o we_o must_v do_v our_o office_n to_o conscience_n three_o way_n first_o by_o pray_v to_o god_n for_o it_o you_o know_v that_o we_o must_v pray_v for_o they_o that_o be_v in_o authority_n over_o we_o and_o shall_v conscience_n be_v neglect_v god_n forbid_v when_o there_o be_v no_o king_n in_o israel_n you_o know_v what_o disorder_v happen_v sure_o less_o or_o few_o do_v not_o happen_v where_o conscience_n be_v not_o in_o full_a

religion_n without_o law_n without_o a_o king_n and_o they_o be_v no_o less_o wretched_a who_o be_v without_o this_o religious_a judge_n and_o governor_n conscience_n therefore_o let_v we_o pray_v for_o it_o that_o god_n will_v give_v it_o that_o god_n will_v keep_v it_o and_o keep_v it_o tender_v that_o so_o we_o may_v live_v a_o quiet_a and_o comfortable_a life_n under_o it_o second_o we_o must_v do_v our_o duty_n to_o conscience_n by_o give_v it_o good_a word_n you_o know_v the_o word_n of_o god_n thou_o shall_v not_o curse_v the_o ruler_n of_o thy_o people_n oh_o that_o we_o can_v

even_o of_o man_n that_o have_v no_o conscience_n yet_o if_o conscience_n rule_v in_o any_o in_o the_o serve_v of_o god_n and_o make_v they_o tremble_v at_o god_n precept_n promise_n or_o threaten_n and_o the_o like_a he_o be_v but_o
a_o by_o word_n among_o the_o multitude_n but_o bless_a conscience_n encourage_v thy_o friend_n and_o discourage_v they_o that_o flout_v at_o thou_o with_o that_o true_a but_o fearful_a say_n 66.5_o

the_o lord_n be_v glorify_v but_o he_o shall_v appear_v to_o your_o joy_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v ashamed_a last_o we_o must_v do_v our_o duty_n to_o conscience_n by_o pay_v tribute_n to_o it_o and_o yield_v to_o it_o honourable_a mean_n of_o maintenance_n give_v tribute_n to_o who_o tribute_n belong_v shall_v we_o have_v a_o governor_n and_o will_v we_o starve_v he_o for_o want_n of_o maintenance_n god_n forbid_v deck_n therefore_o the_o table_n of_o thy_o conscience_n rich_o with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n let_v thy_o conscience_n use_v it_o as_o in_o the_o sight_n and_o presence_n of_o god_n attend_v with_o all_o the_o part_n and_o power_n of_o thy_o body_n and_o soul_n in_o state_n upon_o this_o honourable_a governor_n and_o if_o thou_o can_v not_o give_v it_o entertainment_n answerable_a to_o its_o place_n weep_v to_o god_n for_o more_o grace_n that_o as_o one_o say_v to_o saint_n augustine_n weep_a mother_n filius_fw-la non_fw-la potest_fw-la perire_fw-la tantarum_fw-la lachrymarum_fw-la filius_fw-la a_o son_n for_o who_o so_o many_o tear_n be_v shed_v can_v perish_v so_o thy_o conscience_n for_o which_o thou_o do_v weep_v to_o god_n may_v not_o be_v corrupt_v or_o want_v necessary_a mean_n of_o maintenance_n second_o conscience_n as_o a_o judge_n must_v do_v its_o office_n to_o and_o for_o we_o both_o in_o ourselves_o and_o to_o god_n for_o look_v as_o a_o judge_n do_v a_o double_a duty_n a_o duty_n of_o justice_n in_o the_o country_n and_o a_o duty_n of_o account_n in_o the_o court_n so_o likewise_o have_v the_o conscience_n a_o double_a duty_n to_o perform_v in_o the_o court_n within_o we_o must_v expect_v a_o fourfold_a action_n of_o a_o judge_n from_o it_o the_o first_o be_v remurmuration_n as_o a_o judge_n do_v or_o shall_v fret_v and_o grudge_v at_o every_o evil_a cause_n that_o come_v before_o he_o and_o can_v abide_v that_o any_o gallio_n shall_v either_o plead_v the_o excuse_n or_o defence_n of_o it_o so_o conscience_n must_v work_v a_o inward_a repine_n when_o any_o of_o the_o advocate_n of_o sin_n do_v blanch_v the_o least_o wickedness_n the_o least_o sin_n be_v hellish_a in_o its_o sight_n the_o great_a be_v ten_o time_n damnable_a the_o second_o be_v instigation_n look_v as_o a_o judge_n do_v or_o shall_v provoke_v to_o every_o good_a occasion_n for_o the_o repress_v of_o vice_n and_o encouragement_n of_o virtue_n so_o conscience_n must_v goad_v we_o up_o and_o stir_v we_o forward_o to_o take_v every_o good_a opportunity_n to_o do_v good_a unto_o our_o body_n and_o soul_n to_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n the_o jew_n who_o be_v as_o the_o swift_a dromedary_n be_v not_o more_o eager_a to_o commit_v wickedness_n than_o conscience_n must_v be_v to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v good_a in_o god_n sight_n the_o three_o be_v condemnation_n even_o as_o a_o judge_n do_v condemn_v the_o guilty_a and_o pronounce_v definitive_a sentence_n against_o he_o whatsoever_o he_o be_v whether_o friend_n or_o foe_n rich_a or_o poor_a because_o he_o hear_v cause_n speak_v and_o not_o person_n so_o deal_v conscience_n yea_o even_o against_o the_o owner_n of_o it_o if_o he_o do_v offend_v therefore_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o those_o who_o be_v selfe-condemned_n or_o look_v as_o if_o a_o soldier_n demean_v himself_o not_o well_o in_o battle_n the_o judge_n marshal_n may_v cause_v his_o escocheon_n to_o be_v pierce_v even_o so_o conscience_n must_v pierce_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o offender_n by_o a_o full_a pronounce_v of_o the_o judgement_n of_o its_o god_n the_o four_o be_v absolution_n as_o a_o judge_n do_v absolve_v the_o guiltless_a and_o when_o his_o innocence_n do_v once_o appear_v do_v make_v no_o delay_n or_o demur_n or_o the_o like_a to_o keep_v he_o from_o the_o comfort_n of_o his_o cause_n so_o when_o conscience_n find_v innocence_n it_o cry_v out_o well_o do_v good_a and_o faithful_a servant_n enter_v into_o thy_o master_n joy_n know_v thy_o office_n conscience_n and_o as_o thou_o will_v answer_v it_o to_o he_o from_o who_o thou_o have_v thy_o most_o immediate_a deputation_n see_v thou_o deal_v righteous-iudge-like_a in_o all_o these_o particular_n second_o there_o be_v a_o duty_n of_o account_n that_o the_o conscience_n owe_v unto_o god_n also_o even_o as_o a_o judge_n do_v give_v a_o account_n unto_o his_o sovereign_n of_o the_o state_n of_o his_o country_n live_v of_o his_o people_n and_o justice_n of_o his_o inferior_a magistrate_n and_o the_o like_a so_o must_v our_o conscience_n give_v a_o account_n to_o god_n what_o state_n our_o soul_n be_v in_o and_o how_o our_o will_n and_o affection_n do_v rule_v and_o obey_v within_o us._n see_v therefore_o o_o conscience_n that_o thou_o do_v it_o faithful_o go_v to_o the_o court_n of_o heaven_n after_o every_o day_n assize_n tell_v god_n how_o it_o stand_v with_o thou_o in_o the_o case_n of_o life_n and_o death_n helpe_n o_o king_n i_o have_v find_v rebellion_n in_o thy_o kingdom_n without_o thy_o pardon_n all_o will_v perish_v with_o thy_o pardon_n without_o thy_o wisdom_n to_o plant_v religion_n to_o order_v thy_o subject_n and_o to_o prevent_v future_a mutiny_n all_o will_v come_v to_o naught_o thus_o deal_v faithful_o with_o thy_o soul_n and_o as_o good_a judge_n will_v not_o trust_v particular_a justice_n with_o the_o government_n of_o the_o country_n lest_o they_o shall_v make_v their_o own_o gain_n and_o aim_v at_o their_o own_o private_a end_n more_o than_o at_o the_o public_a good_a but_o will_v diligent_o search_v into_o their_o proceed_n that_o so_o their_o account_n may_v be_v the_o more_o current_a so_o the_o good_a conscience_n will_v not_o commit_v the_o government_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o the_o will_n and_o affection_n but_o will_v every_o day_n search_v into_o their_o course_n that_o so_o they_o may_v give_v the_o more_o through_o and_o honest_a account_n unto_o our_o god_n and_o king_n thus_o have_v view_v the_o power_n of_o practical_a conscience_n in_o these_o reason_a thought_n which_o be_v in_o we_o conscience_n 2_o the_o abuse_n of_o the_o power_n of_o conscience_n we_o come_v to_o the_o abuse_n of_o this_o power_n in_o judge_v evil_o and_o partial_o even_o against_o conviction_n whence_o we_o may_v note_v that_o it_o be_v no_o news_n that_o there_o be_v disorder_n and_o corruption_n in_o the_o judgement_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n and_o conscience_n you_o know_v that_o paul_n find_v out_o this_o wickedness_n of_o old_a to_o withhold_v the_o truth_n in_o unrighteousness_n 1.18_o rom._n 1.18_o even_o so_o be_v it_o still_o the_o prisoner_n to_o be_v try_v within_o we_o be_v truth_n the_o case_n to_o be_v try_v be_v whether_o truth_n shall_v be_v set_v at_o liberty_n to_o be_v a_o guide_n to_o our_o action_n yea_o or_o no_o truth_n plead_v for_o herself_o as_o the_o cause_n of_o poor_a christian_n in_o this_o place_n but_o the_o jury_n of_o will_n and_o affection_n hear_v not_o they_o be_v corrupt_v with_o carnal_a wisdom_n pleasure_n profit_n or_o the_o like_a and_o therefore_o in_o come_v the_o foreman_n will_n and_o say_v i_o will_v do_v as_o i_o have_v do_v and_o i_o will_v be_v persuade_v as_o i_o have_v be_v persuade_v and_o so_o reason_n like_o a_o corrupt_a judge_n give_v the_o sentence_n that_o truth_n must_v into_o prison_n and_o rebellion_n and_o wickedness_n flourish_v if_o now_o you_o will_v ask_v i_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o corruption_n in_o our_o inward_a judging_n i_o answer_v that_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o four_o reason_n of_o it_o first_o the_o want_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n if_o we_o love_v god_n we_o will_v love_v his_o honour_n if_o we_o love_v his_o honour_n we_o will_v carry_v a_o equal_a and_o upright_o course_n in_o pass_v sentence_n yea_o though_o it_o be_v to_o the_o crush_a of_o that_o which_o be_v most_o dear_a unto_o us._n 33.9_o deut._n 33.9_o thus_o levi_n be_v say_v to_o say_v to_o his_o father_n and_o mother_n i_o have_v not_o see_v thou_o neither_o know_v he_o his_o own_o brethren_n nor_o his_o child_n when_o he_o be_v to_o execute_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n second_o want_v of_o union_n in_o ourselves_o a_o army_n put_v to_o rout_n can_v keep_v order_n so_o neither_o can_v a_o man_n that_o be_v divide_v in_o himself_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o curse_a alehouse_n business_n it_o thrive_v the_o better_a for_o a_o proud_a separation_n that_o be_v find_v among_o those_o that_o shall_v help_v
judgement_n shall_v sit_v at_o hand_n to_o give_v advice_n our_o affection_n shall_v attend_v upon_o they_o to_o maintain_v and_o defend_v all_o honest_a resolution_n and_o action_n against_o all_o

god_n the_o three_o ground_n whereto_o the_o doctrine_n of_o this_o text_n be_v refer_v be_v this_o that_o true_a religion_n be_v a_o merciful_a religion_n it_o make_v we_o say_v james_n here_o to_o

exercise_n of_o a_o mother_n be_v mercy_n now_o from_o this_o ground_n i_o will_v enforce_v two_o thing_n use_v 1_o first_o that_o every_o one_o of_o we_o must_v strive_v to_o be_v merciful_a as_o our_o heavenly_a father_n be_v merciful_a this_o be_v that_o which_o will_v assure_v we_o that_o we_o be_v true_o religious_a no_o mercy_n no_o religion_n god_n be_v immediate_o merciful_a to_o we_o himself_o when_o he_o send_v his_o spirit_n into_o our_o heart_n to_o teach_v we_o correct_v and_o comfort_v we_o according_a to_o our_o necessity_n and_o he_o make_v all_o the_o creature_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n to_o be_v liberal_a unto_o we_o and_o helpful_a in_o some_o kind_n or_o other_o and_o all_o to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o be_v knit_v unto_o he_o by_o true_a religion_n may_v be_v provoke_v to_o be_v merciful_a also_o yea_o we_o must_v be_v so_o even_o unto_o the_o enemy_n of_o religion_n we_o see_v many_o time_n that_o no_o civil_a cause_n make_v a_o more_o severe_a and_o

say_v master_n call_v for_o fire_n from_o heaven_n to_o consume_v the_o samaritan_n but_o christ_n crush_v it_o say_v you_o know_v not_o of_o what_o spirit_n you_o be_v yea_o say_v christ_n speak_v of_o they_o who_o shall_v take_v his_o disciple_n to_o task_n for_o religion_n sake_n they_o shall_v excommunicate_v you_o and_o kill_v you_o and_o in_o so_o do_v they_o shall_v think_v that_o they_o do_v god_n good_a service_n but_o we_o must_v strive_v against_o this_o cruelty_n and_o exercise_v mercy_n as_o the_o proper_a fruit_n of_o religion_n if_o we_o shall_v believe_v the_o declamation_n of_o the_o jesuit_n they_o will_v tell_v we_o that_o yet_o we_o be_v not_o merciful_a and_o therefore_o they_o cry_v out_o against_o our_o cruelty_n exercise_v upon_o the_o popeho_o catholic_n in_o

no_o law_n to_o put_v any_o papist_n to_o death_n for_o his_o conscience_n sake_n or_o if_o we_o have_v a_o law_n in_o that_o ancient_a statute_n of_o their_o own_o concern_v the_o burn_a of_o

do_v rejoice_v in_o our_o religion_n find_v mercy_n in_o it_o and_o do_v encourage_v ourselves_o to_o go_v on_o still_o both_o to_o proceed_v mild_o against_o they_o to_o pity_v and_o to_o pray_v
