one_o be_v to_o be_v kill_v and_o the_o other_o be_v to_o be_v let_v go_v and_o to_o be_v lead_v into_o the_o wilderness_n for_o a_o scape-goat_n the_o former_a of_o which_o say_v divine_n prefigure_v

there_o be_v not_o more_o sin_n now_o since_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v become_v so_o common_a than_o there_o be_v before_o in_o the_o time_n of_o popish_a ignorance_n and_o darkness_n it_o have_v be_v a_o old_a and_o be_v still_o be_v a_o common_a 495._o complaint_n among_o ignorant_a people_n that_o the_o world_n be_v never_o so_o bad_a as_o it_o have_v be_v since_o we_o have_v have_v so_o much_o preach_v but_o it_o be_v a_o false_a charge_n and_o imputation_n as_o may_v be_v thus_o illustrate_v if_o a_o man_n come_v into_o a_o room_n in_o the_o nighttime_n where_o there_o be_v no_o light_n all_o thing_n may_v be_v out_o of_o their_o place_n and_o order_n and_o the_o room_n all_o dirty_a and_o dusty_a and_o yet_o he_o not_o see_v it_o nor_o take_v any_o notice_n of_o

therein_o and_o yet_o we_o can_v say_v that_o his_o bring_n in_o the_o candle_n or_o the_o daylight_n do_v make_v it_o so_o but_o only_o discover_v that_o it_o be_v so_o and_o just_o so_o be_v it_o here_o for_o in_o the_o time_n of_o popery_n and_o ignorance_n when_o the_o scripture_n be_v either_o whole_o detain_v from_o man_n or_o lock_v up_o in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n there_o be_v as_o many_o sin_n then_o if_o not_o more_o than_o be_v now_o but_o for_o want_v of_o the_o light_n of_o knowledge_n they_o be_v not_o know_v to_o be_v such_o or_o not_o such_o heinous_a sin_n many_o of_o they_o and_o those_o heinous_a one_o too_o go_v under_o the_o name_n of_o venial_n as_o now_o by_o the_o author_n clear_a light_n of_o the_o gospel_n they_o do_v appear_v to_o be_v or_o it_o be_v here_o as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o house_n into_o which_o the_o sun_n do_v not_o shine_v for_o there_o be_v as_o much_o dust_n fly_v up_o and_o down_o in_o the_o air_n then_o as_o there_o be_v when_o

into_o man_n heart_n with_o the_o lightsome_a beam_n of_o his_o word_n and_o spirit_n there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o peccadilio_fw-la but_o themselves_o or_o other_o will_v quick_o discern_v it_o and_o this_o be_v the_o true_a reason_n why_o many_o think_v there_o be_v more_o sin_n now_o than_o there_o be_v in_o former_a time_n expression_n lviii_o that_o all_o quiet_a conscience_n be_v not_o good_a conscience_n to_o make_v this_o appear_v saint_n bernard_n 2._o distinguish_v conscience_n thus_o there_o be_v say_v he_o four_o kind_n of_o conscience_n 1._o there_o be_v a_o conscience_n that_o be_v good_a but_o not_o quiet_a 2._o there_o be_v a_o conscience_n that_o be_v quiet_a but_o not_o good_a 3._o there_o be_v a_o conscience_n that_o be_v both_o good_a and_o quiet_a and_o 4._o there_o be_v a_o conscience_n that_o be_v neither_o good_a nor_o quiet_a the_o two_o good_a belong_v proper_o to_o the_o godly_a and_o the_o two_o bad_a to_o the_o wicked_a who_o conscience_n be_v either_o too_o too_o quiet_a or_o too_o too_o unquiet_a but_o in_o neither_o any_o true_a peace_n other_o the_o better_a to_o express_v 25._o this_o make_v three_o sort_n of_o quiet_a bad_a conscience_n the_o 1._o a_o blind_a and_o ignorant_a conscience_n the_o 2._o a_o secure_a conscience_n and_o the_o 3._o a_o sear_a conscience_n 1._o blind_a and_o ignorant_a conscience_n be_v such_o as_o speak_v peace_n or_o rather_o hold_v their_o peace_n because_o they_o have_v not_o skill_n enough_o to_o accuse_v and_o find_v fault_n and_o such_o most_o common_o be_v the_o conscience_n of_o the_o ignorant_a and_o vulgar_a sort_n who_o conscience_n want_v mouth_n to_o speak_v because_o they_o want_v eye_n to_o see_v their_o sin_n and_o their_o misery_n by_o reason_n of_o they_o but_o there_o will_v come_v a_o time_n and_o no_o man_n know_v how_o soon_o it_o will_v come_v when_o these_o conscience_n shall_v have_v their_o eye_n open_v and_o then_o also_o shall_v their_o mouth_n be_v open_v and_o these_o quiet_a conscience_n shall_v both_o bark_v and_o bite_v too_o 2._o secure_a conscience_n be_v such_o as_o want_v not_o so_o much_o a_o eye_n to_o discover_v sin_n as_o a_o good_a tongue_n to_o tell_v of_o it_o and_o to_o find_v fault_n with_o it_o so_o that_o it_o many_o time_n see_v his_o master_n to_o do_v evil_a and_o know_v it_o to_o be_v evil_a but_o either_o care_v not_o to_o speak_v unto_o he_o of_o it_o or_o if_o it_o do_v it_o be_v quick_o snib_v and_o silence_v again_o by_o be_v make_v to_o believe_v that_o either_o it_o be_v a_o small_a and_o venial_a sin_n or_o if_o of_o a_o great_a magnitude_n that_o they_o will_v cry_v god_n mercy_n for_o the_o present_a and_o find_v some_o time_n to_o repent_v of_o it_o hereafter_o but_o this_o be_v no_o true_a peace_n neither_o it_o may_v be_v a_o truce_n for_o a_o time_n wherein_o there_o may_v be_v a_o cessation_n of_o war_n for_o a_o season_n but_o yet_o so_o as_o that_o it_o be_v all_o that_o while_o make_v provision_n of_o arm_n and_o ammunition_n and_o be_v raise_v of_o more_o force_n against_o the_o time_n that_o the_o truce_n shall_v be_v end_v that_o then_o it_o may_v set_v upon_o they_o with_o more_o violence_n fury_n and_o fierceness_n than_o ever_o before_o the_o 3d_o and_o last_o be_v the_o sear_a conscience_n of_o which_o mention_n be_v make_v 1_o tim._n 4._o 2._o

they_o be_v never_o trouble_v at_o they_o they_o feel_v no_o stir_n nor_o sting_n of_o conscience_n for_o they_o but_o there_o will_v come_v a_o time_n when_o god_n will_v take_v off_o this_o sear_a crustiness_n and_o so_o pare_v they_o to_o the_o quick_a that_o they_o shall_v feel_v to_o their_o everlasting_a horror_n in_o hell_n if_o not_o before_o what_o now_o they_o be_v not_o sensible_a of_o
