that_o unreasonable_a ii_o ii_o creature_n as_o bird_n and_o beast_n fowl_n and_o fish_n have_v no_o conscience_n because_o they_o have_v no_o rule_n give_v of_o god_n to_o guide_v their_o action_n neither_o if_o they_o have_v any_o act_n of_o reason_n to_o apprehend_v it_o although_o a_o kind_n of_o knowledge_n may_v be_v attribute_v to_o they_o and_o here_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o take_v conscience_n in_o a_o large_a iii_o iii_o acception_n it_o may_v be_v find_v in_o any_o art_n as_o well_o as_o in_o divinity_n for_o each_o art_n have_v its_o precept_n and_o may_v have_v his_o praxis_fw-la whence_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o as_o there_o be_v science_n so_o also_o there_o may_v be_v conscience_n when_o a_o boy_n write_v after_o a_o copy_n and_o take_v a_o view_n of_o his_o work_n how_o it_o answer_v the_o pattern_n this_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o conscience_n final_o we_o conclude_v hence_o that_o in_o lusorie_a lot_n there_o can_v four_o four_o be_v no_o conscience_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o there_o be_v no_o rule_n to_o guide_v the_o act_n now_o no_o science_n of_o the_o rule_n no_o conscience_n this_o shall_v teach_v man_n to_o use_v they_o upon_o extraordinary_a occasion_n or_o not_o at_o all_o and_o then_o the_o example_n of_o the_o godly_a may_v be_v their_o warrant_n for_o how_o can_v a_o man_n justify_v a_o act_n that_o have_v not_o a_o rule_n to_o guide_v it_o or_o how_o can_v there_o be_v conscience_n where_o science_n precede_v not_o for_o simple_n in_o order_n precede_v compound_n as_o be_v obvious_a in_o logic_n the_o act_n of_o reason_n as_o also_o in_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n hitherto_o we_o have_v speak_v of_o conscience_n in_o general_a which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o see_v together_o or_o more_o plain_o a_o see_v of_o the_o act_n with_o the_o rule_n and_o thus_o we_o proceed_v to_o its_o distribution_n conscience_n be_v good_a or_o evil_n distribute_v conscience_n distribute_v as_o the_o definition_n so_o the_o distribution_n of_o conscience_n be_v many_o yet_o may_v they_o all_o be_v reduce_v to_o these_o two_o head_n for_o as_o every_o axiom_n or_o rule_n be_v true_a or_o false_a so_o be_v each_o man_n conscience_n good_a or_o evil_n some_o say_v there_o be_v a_o conscience_n good_a but_o not_o quiet_a quiet_a but_o not_o good_a good_a and_o quiet_a and_o neither_o good_a nor_o quiet_a yet_o all_o these_o be_v but_o two_o and_o no_o more_o conscience_n for_o rest_v and_o trouble_n be_v not_o essential_a but_o accidental_a unto_o conscience_n a_o bad_a conscience_n as_o we_o see_v in_o judas_n and_o saul_n may_v now_o be_v trouble_v anon_o quiet_v and_o this_o fall_v out_o from_o vary_v the_o object_n of_o the_o intellect_n or_o want_v of_o the_o act_n and_o rule_n application_n and_o so_o may_v a_o good_a conscience_n be_v attend_v with_o the_o same_o companion_n as_o in_o david_n and_o peter_n and_o this_o may_v arise_v from_o the_o late_a commission_n of_o some_o sin_n the_o weakness_n of_o faith_n a_o jealous_a suspicion_n which_o man_n have_v of_o their_o spiritual_a estate_n or_o the_o lord_n withdraw_v for_o a_o time_n his_o comfortable_a aspect_n and_o presence_n from_o his_o child_n and_o yet_o this_o conscience_n be_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o note_v further_o that_o a_o wicked_a man_n may_v have_v knowledge_n of_o a_o true_a rule_n and_o act_n according_a thereunto_o so_o that_o the_o apprehension_n of_o his_o well-doing_n may_v breed_v peace_n but_o when_o he_o cast_v his_o eye_n upon_o his_o many_o swerving_n from_o god_n precept_n except_o his_o conscience_n be_v sear_v through_o the_o lord_n just_a judgement_n and_o his_o habitual_a fayling_n he_o can_v be_v at_o rest_n in_o like_a sort_n the_o best_a person_n in_o
