of_o conscience_n viz._n knowledge_n of_o the_o command_n and_o of_o the_o punishment_n due_a to_o the_o transgression_n of_o it_o but_o i_o have_v commit_v such_o a_o act_n in_o such_o a_o place_n

office_n thereof_o the_o next_o thing_n that_o i_o be_o to_o insist_v upon_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o good_a conscience_n and_o the_o several_a kind_n thereof_o conscience_n thus_o describe_v be_v either_o good_a or_o bad_a a_o good_a conscience_n be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o be_v conformable_a to_o that_o rule_n by_o which_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v guide_v a_o bad_a one_o be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o want_v conformity_n thereunto_o both_o may_v be_v distinguish_v according_a to_o their_o several_a subject_n into_o the_o good_a and_o bad_a conscience_n of_o man_n and_o of_o angel_n man_n conscience_n for_o that_o only_o we_o be_v to_o speak_v of_o now_o be_v good_a when_o conformable_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n reveal_v in_o the_o scripture_n now_o because_o the_o scripture_n have_v two_o part_n answer_v to_o the_o twofold_a estate_n of_o man_n before_o and_o since_o the_o fall_n viz._n the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o good_a conscience_n be_v twofold_a either_o legal_o good_a which_o have_v that_o perfection_n which_o the_o law_n require_v or_o evangelical_o good_a which_o have_v that_o perfection_n which_o the_o gospel_n accept_v unto_o salvation_n of_o the_o former_a sort_n be_v the_o conscience_n of_o adam_n before_o his_o fall_n of_o the_o latter_a sort_n be_v the_o conscience_n of_o adam_n after_o his_o repentance_n i_o may_v be_v large_a in_o show_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o these_o two_o kind_n of_o good_a conscience_n but_o i_o haste_v this_o latter_a may_v again_o be_v distinguish_v into_o a_o upright_a conscience_n and_o a_o peaceable_a conscience_n a_o upright_a conscience_n be_v a_o conscience_n sprinkle_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n or_o a_o conscience_n purify_v by_o faith_n such_o as_o be_v in_o every_o man_n that_o have_v repent_v he_o true_o of_o his_o sin_n past_a be_v for_o the_o present_a careful_a and_o willing_a above_o all_o thing_n in_o all_o thing_n to_o live_v honest_o there_o be_v these_o thing_n require_v to_o it_o first_o that_o it_o be_v well_o principled_a and_o know_v in_o some_o good_a measure_n god_n commandment_n account_v they_o the_o rule_n by_o which_o all_o action_n be_v to_o be_v guide_v according_a to_o that_o psal_n 119._o vers_fw-la 105._o thy_o word_n be_v a_o lamp_n unto_o my_o foot_n and_o a_o light_n unto_o my_o path_n for_o as_o it_o be_v necessary_o require_v to_o the_o general_a nature_n and_o work_n of_o conscience_n that_o it_o have_v some_o principle_n which_o it_o may_v upon_o occasion_n apply_v to_o particular_a action_n so_o it_o be_v essential_a to_o a_o good_a or_o a_o upright_a conscience_n that_o it_o know_v the_o true_a rule_n and_o be_v inform_v with_o good_a and_o honest_a principle_n so_o that_o so_o far_o as_o conscience_n be_v either_o ignorant_a of_o the_o true_a rule_n or_o guide_v by_o a_o false_a so_o far_o it_o be_v not_o good_a but_o evil_a and_o corrupt_a and_o if_o it_o be_v either_o altogether_o ignorant_a of_o any_o of_o the_o main_a commandment_n the_o practice_n of_o which_o be_v necessary_o require_v to_o a_o christian_a life_n as_o namely_o that_o we_o must_v believe_v in_o christ_n repent_v of_o our_o sin_n and_o the_o like_a or_o entertain_v any_o principle_n which_o do_v by_o direct_a and_o immediate_a consequence_n overthrow_v any_o of_o these_o it_o be_v not_o

and_o purge_v by_o faith_n which_o reflexed_a act_n because_o it_o necessary_o presuppose_v integrity_n of_o conscience_n for_o a_o man_n can_v know_v that_o his_o conscience_n be_v pure_a unless_o it_o be_v so_o therefore_o this_o be_v not_o essential_a to_o integrity_n but_o to_o peace_n of_o conscience_n and_o so_o i_o proceed_v to_o the_o second_o kind_n of_o good_a conscience_n which_o be_v a_o peaceable_a conscience_n a_o peaceable_a conscience_n include_v all_o that_o i_o have_v say_v of_o a_o upright_a conscience_n and_o superad_v something_o more_o for_o though_o every_o peaceable_a conscience_n be_v a_o upright_a conscience_n yet_o every_o upright_a conscience_n be_v not_o always_o able_a to_o speak_v peace_n that_o which_o it_o superad_v be_v a_o power_n to_o reflect_v upon_o itself_o and_o to_o testify_v that_o it_o be_v upright_o and_o purge_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n for_o as_o a_o man_n may_v be_v alive_a and_o not_o know_v that_o he_o be_v alive_a as_o a_o child_n in_o his_o mother_n womb_n or_o a_o man_n in_o some_o distemper_n so_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o a_o man_n may_v have_v faith_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o yet_o either_o through_o his_o own_o weakness_n or_o some_o other_o extraordinary_a distemper_n or_o temptation_n not_o know_v for_o the_o present_a that_o his_o conscience_n be_v good_a but_o when_o he_o be_v confident_o persuade_v upon_o good_a ground_n that_o all_o his_o sin_n be_v pardon_v and_o that_o his_o person_n be_v justify_v and_o at_o peace_n with_o god_n than_o he_o have_v not_o only_a uprightness_n but_o peace_n of_o conscience_n and_o so_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o second_o thing_n i_o be_v to_o treat_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o good_a conscience_n in_o general_a &_o the_o kind_n of_o it_o i_o pass_v unto_o the_o three_o and_o that_o be_v what_o kind_n of_o good_a conscience_n s._n t_o paul_n mean_v when_o he_o say_v we_o trust_v we_o have_v a_o good_a conscience_n first_o his_o word_n be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o a_o conscience_n legal_o good_a or_o at_o the_o bar_n of_o justice_n for_o it_o impli_v a_o contradiction_n that_o any_o son_n of_o fall_v adam_n shall_v have_v such_o a_o conscience_n for_o than_o he_o shall_v be_v fall_v and_o not_o fall_v fall_v because_o a_o son_n of_o fall_v adam_n not_o fall_v because_o his_o conscience_n be_v legal_o good_a for_o this_o be_v the_o sentence_n of_o the_o law_n curse_v be_v every_o one_o that_o abide_v not_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n to_o do_v they_o it_o must_v therefore_o be_v understand_v of_o a_o conscience_n evangelical_o good_a or_o at_o the_o bar_n of_o mercy_n second_o a_o upright_a conscience_n must_v be_v understand_v and_o not_o a_o peaceable_a one_o for_o though_o without_o doubt_n st_n paul_n have_v a_o peaceable_a conscience_n and_o these_o very_a word_n do_v imply_v as_o much_o because_o he_o be_v persuade_v upon_o good_a ground_n that_o his_o conscience_n be_v good_a yet_o that_o goodness_n which_o be_v the_o object_n of_o his_o trust_n be_v goodness_n of_o integrity_n not_o of_o tranquillity_n because_o his_o trust_n be_v build_v upon_o this_o ground_n that_o he_o be_v willing_a in_o all_o thing_n to_o live_v honest_o which_o necessary_o infer_v integrity_n but_o not_o tranquillity_n of_o conscience_n because_o a_o man_n may_v desire_v in_o all_o thing_n to_o live_v honest_o and_o yet_o sometime_o for_o the_o present_v not_o have_v peace_n of_o conscience_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o proposition_n st_n paul_n have_v a_o upright_a conscience_n this_o i_o may_v demonstrate_v à_fw-fr priori_fw-la from_o the_o cause_n of_o integrity_n as_o 1._o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n the_o chief_a author_n thereof_o which_o be_v not_o want_v to_o st_n paul_n 2._o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o external_a instrument_n which_o st_n paul_n be_v not_o ignorant_a of_o 3._o faith_n rest_v upon_o the_o promise_n of_o that_o word_n the_o internal_a instrument_n thereof_o wherewith_o he_o do_v abound_v i_o may_v likewise_o prove_v it_o à_fw-la posteriori_fw-la and_o show_v you_o that_o st_n paul_n whole_a life_n after_o his_o conversion_n which_o last_v from_o the_o year_n of_o our_o saviour_n passion_n till_o the_o four_o year_n before_o the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n in_o all_o about_o thirty_o seven_o year_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o continual_a exercise_n of_o a_o upright_a conscience_n and_o here_o i_o may_v show_v you_o what_o he_o do_v for_o conscience_n sake_n how_o he_o travel_v to_o preach_v the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o arabia_n in_o galatia_n and_o phrygia_fw-la in_o syria_n asia_n and_o italy_n in_o france_n spain_n and_o other_o country_n and_o that_o in_o the_o mean_a
