every_o day_n eye_n the_o brazen_a serpent_n justification_n be_v a_o ever-running_a fountain_n and_o therefore_o we_o can_v look_v to_o have_v all_o the_o water_n at_o once_o a_o fountain_n ever_o run_v anew_o so_o justification_n ever_o flow_v anew_o and_o we_o must_v go_v to_o it_o christ_n be_v a_o priest_n for_o ever_o after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedec_n o_o let_v we_o sue_v out_o every_o day_n a_o daily_a pardon_n of_o course_n let_v we_o not_o sleep_v one_o night_n without_o a_o new_a pardon_n better_a sleep_n in_o a_o house_n full_a of_o adder_n and_o venomous_a beast_n than_o sleep_v in_o one_o sin_n o_o then_o be_v sure_a with_o the_o day_n to_o clear_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o day_n then_o shall_v our_o conscience_n have_v true_a peace_n object_n but_o how_o if_o i_o have_v relapse_v what_o shall_v i_o do_v then_o i_o answer_v sol._n every_o man_n that_o fall_v do_v not_o fall_v on_o all_o four_o as_o we_o use_v to_o say_v he_o do_v not_o fall_v quite_o there_o be_v degree_n of_o fall_v as_o in_o a_o sick_a man_n though_o he_o be_v ill_a yet_o he_o be_v not_o by_o and_o by_o dead_a some_o life_n remain_v still_o which_o will_v look_v out_o towards_o health_n again_o so_o there_o be_v so_o much_o life_n in_o justification_n as_o to_o recover_v thou_o again_o be_v constant_a therefore_o in_o this_o course_n ever_o go_v to_o christ_n ever_o wash_v in_o this_o fountain_n ever_o bring_v thy_o soul_n hither_o to_o be_v cleanse_v and_o then_o thy_o conscience_n ever_o shall_v have_v peace_n 4._o four_o if_o we_o will_v maintain_v our_o peace_n then_o let_v we_o labour_n to_o be_v constant_a in_o obedience_n to_o jesus_n christ_n whosoever_o keep_v his_o word_n in_o he_o very_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n perfect_v and_o hereby_o know_v we_o that_o we_o be_v in_o he_o 1._o john_n 2._o 5._o mark_v hereby_o our_o conscience_n may_v tell_v we_o that_o we_o be_v right_a and_o speak_v peace_n to_o we_o if_o we_o keep_v his_o word_n ii_o question_n how_o the_o peace_n of_o conscience_n do_v depend_v upon_o our_o care_n and_o our_o obedience_n the_o reason_n why_o i_o raise_v this_o question_n be_v this_o because_o as_o our_o justification_n be_v only_o in_o christ_n so_o our_o peace_n be_v only_o in_o he_o how_o then_o do_v the_o peace_n of_o our_o conscience_n depend_v on_o obedience_n the_o place_n of_o scripture_n that_o occasion_v the_o doubt_n be_v 1._o pet._n 3.21_o the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n towards_o god_n by_o the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ._n it_o be_v by_o christ_n how_o depend_v it_o then_o on_o our_o obedience_n answ_n 1._o a_o good_a conscience_n do_v not_o depend_v upon_o our_o obedience_n as_o the_o principal_a cause_n of_o it_o but_o upon_o justification_n which_o we_o have_v by_o christ_n if_o we_o be_v in_o he_o rom._n 5.1_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n we_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n you_o see_v then_o that_o our_o peace_n be_v ground_v upon_o our_o justification_n as_o the_o principal_a cause_n of_o it_o if_o we_o shall_v seek_v for_o peace_n from_o our_o work_n and_o obedience_n alas_o they_o be_v sinful_a and_o defective_a there_o be_v no_o peace_n to_o be_v find_v in_o they_o our_o conscience_n will_v be_v trouble_v at_o our_o best_a duty_n at_o our_o weakness_n in_o prayer_n our_o frailty_n in_o hear_v our_o slip_n in_o every_o holy_a service_n there_o be_v nothing_o we_o do_v but_o our_o conscience_n may_v find_v fault_n with_o it_o and_o pick_v a_o hole_n in_o it_o and_o therefore_o we_o have_v need_v to_o fly_v unto_o christ_n for_o true_a peace_n no_o wonder_n then_o that_o papist_n have_v not_o true_a peace_n but_o profess_o say_v that_o every_o man_n must_v doubt_v and_o no_o man_n can_v be_v sure_a of_o his_o salvation_n they_o must_v needs_o doubt_v indeed_o who_o trust_n to_o their_o own_o work_n which_o can_v never_o bring_v true_a peace_n the_o conscience_n must_v ever_o be_v quarrel_v and_o find_v of_o fault_n and_o be_v without_o peace_n if_o we_o trust_v to_o the_o best_a work_n so_o that_o this_o be_v the_o first_o answer_n all_o true_a peace_n depend_v upon_o justification_n by_o faith_n in_o christ_n as_o the_o principal_a cause_n second_o we_o answer_v that_o our_o peace_n depend_v upon_o our_o obedience_n in_o this_o sort_n that_o we_o can_v have_v no_o peace_n except_o we_o be_v give_v to_o obedience_n those_o man_n that_o can_v sin_n and_o yet_o be_v at_o peace_n be_v never_o justify_v in_o their_o life_n a_o child_n of_o god_n when_o he_o sin_v as_o for_o example_n if_o he_o shall_v be_v tempt_v to_o lie_v or_o to_o omit_v a_o good_a duty_n which_o he_o know_v he_o be_v bind_v to_o perform_v yet_o this_o will_v much_o trouble_v his_o conscience_n his_o soul_n will_v be_v ashamed_a his_o heart_n perplex_v he_o will_v not_o know_v how_o to_o look_v the_o lord_n in_o the_o face_n i_o have_v sin_v what_o shall_v i_o do_v unto_o thou_o o_o thou_o preserver_n of_o man_n when_o david_n have_v sin_v against_o god_n i_o be_o trouble_v say_v he_o 28.6_o and_o i_o go_v mourn_v all_o the_o day_n long_o and_o therefore_o peace_n of_o conscience_n do_v depend_v thus_o far_o on_o obedience_n as_o that_o a_o man_n can_v have_v peace_n unless_o he_o be_v obedient_a and_o take_v heed_n of_o sin_n and_o labour_n in_o all_o thing_n to_o be_v upright_o before_o god_n sol._n now_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o but_o how_o do_v our_o peace_n depend_v upon_o our_o obedience_n i_o answer_v it_o depend_v upon_o obedience_n as_o the_o remove_a cause_n it_o remove_v that_o which_o will_v hinder_v our_o peace_n sin_n will_v interrupt_v our_o peace_n now_o obedience_n remove_v sin_n to_o this_o purpose_n the_o apostle_n speak_v 1._o john_n 3.18_o 19_o my_o little_a child_n let_v we_o not_o love_v in_o word_n and_o in_o tongue_n but_o in_o deed_n and_o in_o truth_n for_o hereby_o we_o know_v that_o we_o be_v of_o the_o truth_n and_o shall_v assure_v our_o heart_n before_o god_n hereby_o we_o shall_v assure_v our_o conscience_n that_o we_o be_v in_o he_o if_o we_o take_v heed_n of_o hypocrisy_n if_o we_o love_v in_o truth_n and_o be_v obedient_a in_o truth_n we_o shall_v thereby_o remove_v all_o our_o doubt_n and_o our_o fear_n our_o trouble_n and_o perplexity_n of_o conscience_n so_o that_o peace_n do_v depend_v on_o obedience_n as_o the_o remove_a cause_n it_o remove_v that_o which_o otherwise_o will_v hinder_v peace_n this_o be_v the_o first_o again_o our_o peace_n of_o conscience_n depend_v upon_o our_o

1.12_o even_o the_o testimony_n of_o our_o conscience_n that_o in_o simplicity_n and_o godly_a sincerity_n we_o have_v have_v our_o conversation_n in_o the_o world_n see_v here_o it_o be_v the_o witness_v cause_n of_o it_o paul_n have_v peace_n of_o conscience_n his_o conscience_n be_v able_a to_o make_v he_o rejoice_v how_o because_o it_o give_v testimony_n that_o his_o conversation_n be_v godly_a and_o simple_a and_o gracious_a though_o we_o be_v in_o christ_n yet_o we_o can_v have_v no_o peace_n unless_o holy_a obedience_n do_v witness_v the_o same_o obedience_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o peace_n of_o our_o conscience_n before_o god_n but_o it_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o perceive_v the_o same_o we_o know_v we_o have_v peace_n by_o reason_n of_o our_o obedience_n 2.29_o we_o know_v that_o every_o one_o that_o do_v righteousness_n be_v bear_v of_o god_n 4.13_o we_o know_v we_o be_v pass_v from_o death_n to_o life_n because_o we_o love_v the_o brethren_n 3.14_o

of_o obedience_n take_v away_o obedience_n we_o can_v never_o know_v peace_n 6.16_o they_o that_o walk_v by_o this_o rule_n peace_n shall_v be_v upon_o they_o and_o upon_o the_o israel_n of_o god_n say_v the_o apostle_n three_o our_o peace_n of_o conscience_n depend_v on_o our_o obedience_n as_o the_o confirm_a cause_n christ_n confirm_v our_o peace_n to_o we_o by_o make_v we_o walk_v close_o to_o he_o and_o obedient_a unto_o he_o paul_n show_v how_o it_o preserve_v peace_n as_o a_o shoe_n preserve_v the_o foot_n you_o know_v if_o we_o shall_v walk_v without_o shoe_n barefoot_z our_o
