conscience_n be_v distinguish_v from_o a_o evil_a conscience_n iii_o what_o the_o rule_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n be_v according_a to_o which_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v direct_v and_o guide_v to_o the_o first_o i_o answer_v conscience_n be_v that_o power_n or_o faculty_n of_o our_o reasonable_a soul_n or_o mind_n that_o can_v and_o do_v reflect_v on_o our_o thought_n word_n and_o deed_n both_o

another_o to_o the_o second_o i_o answer_v there_o be_v several_a thing_n altogether_o necessary_a to_o denominate_v a_o man_n conscience_n to_o be_v good_a 1._o it_o must_v be_v a_o enlighten_v conscience_n with_o a_o good_a measure_n of_o true_a knowledge_n whereby_o to_o know_v what_o be_v right_a and_o good_a or_o wrong_n and_o evil_n a_o ignorant_a conscience_n can_v be_v good_a 2._o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o will_n of_o man_n to_o what_o he_o be_v convince_v of_o his_o duty_n either_o to_o be_v believe_v or_o practise_v be_v necessary_a to_o denominate_v the_o conscience_n to_o be_v a_o good_a conscience_n for_o though_o true_a conviction_n and_o knowledge_n be_v necessary_a yet_o that_o alone_o without_o obedience_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o denominate_v the_o conscience_n to_o be_v good_a even_o though_o the_o knowledge_n and_o conviction_n come_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n there_o must_v be_v a_o consent_n and_o harmony_n betwixt_o the_o understanding_n and_o the_o will_v to_o constitute_v and_o denominate_v the_o conscience_n to_o be_v good_a 3._o the_o conscience_n that_o be_v purge_v and_o justify_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n even_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o cross_n that_o be_v outward_o shed_v through_o faith_n in_o that_o blood_n rom._n 3._o 25._o and_o where_o the_o heart_n and_o conscience_n and_o whole_a soul_n and_o body_n be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o the_o inward_a work_n of_o regeneration_n be_v know_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n the_o conscience_n only_o of_o such_o a_o man_n be_v a_o good_a conscience_n i_o say_v that_o the_o conscience_n must_v be_v purge_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n that_o it_o may_v be_v good_a see_v heb._n 9_o 13_o 14._o for_o

blood_n of_o christ_n who_o through_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n offer_v himself_o without_o spot_n to_o god_n purge_v your_o conscience_n from_o dead_a work_n to_o serve_v the_o live_a god_n and_o
