of_o these_o in_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o office_n thereof_o the_o office_n of_o conscience_n be_v twofold_a first_o to_o know_v all_o thing_n in_o a_o man_n or_o do_v and_o omit_v by_o man_n all_o thought_n word_n deed_n affection_n and_o the_o omit_v of_o all_o duty_n the_o soul_n by_o conscience_n seek_v itself_o as_o by_o a_o reflection_n as_o for_o instance_n the_o soul_n by_o

we_o know_v we_o do_v so_o 9.1_o rom._n 9.1_o and_o hence_o the_o conscience_n be_v call_v a_o register_n or_o notary_n the_o second_o office_n of_o conscience_n be_v to_o determine_v of_o the_o

action_n as_o first_o whether_o they_o be_v do_v or_o not_o do_v second_o whether_o they_o be_v well_o or_o evil_o do_v for_o the_o first_o question_n whether_o a_o action_n be_v do_v or_o no_o conscience_n within_o most_o certain_o certifi_v as_o in_o cain_n when_o his_o tongue_n say_v i_o know_v not_o where_o my_o brother_n be_v his_o conscience_n say_v thou_o know_v wherere_fw-la he_o be_v for_o thou_o have_v kill_v he_o so_o in_o david_n when_o he_o be_v accuse_v as_o a_o traitor_n against_o saul_n his_o conscience_n say_v that_o he_o be_v no_o traitor_n nor_o have_v conspire_v against_o he_o so_o in_o job_n when_o his_o friend_n say_v he_o be_v a_o hypocrite_n his_o conscience_n witness_v within_o he_o before_o god_n that_o he_o be_v none_o and_o hence_o be_v conscience_n call_v a_o witness_n yea_o a_o thousand_o witness_n for_o the_o second_o question_n whether_o a_o thing_n be_v well_o or_o ill_o do_v conscience_n with_o the_o help_n of_o certain_a principle_n in_o the_o mind_n judge_v in_o evil_a thing_n as_o a_o witness_n accuse_v and_o as_o a_o judge_n condemn_v in_o thing_n well_o do_v as_o a_o witness_n excuse_v and_o as_o a_o judge_n acquit_v and_o both_o these_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o practical_a reason_v as_o paul_n show_v 2.15_o rom._n 2.15_o of_o evil_a thing_n thus_o in_o the_o example_n of_o cain_n he_o that_o kill_v his_o brother_n sin_v grievous_o say_v the_o principle_n in_o the_o mind_n but_o thou_o cain_n have_v kill_v thy_o brother_n say_v conscience_n as_o a_o witness_n by_o the_o help_n of_o memory_n therefore_o thou_o have_v sin_v grievous_o say_v conscience_n a_o accuser_n again_o murderer_n must_v be_v damn_v say_v the_o principle_n of_o the_o mind_n by_o the_o law_n but_o thou_o cain_n be_v a_o murderer_n say_v conscience_n as_o a_o accuser_n therefore_o thou_o shall_v be_v damn_v say_v conscience_n as_o a_o judge_n condemn_v and_o from_o these_o action_n of_o conscience_n come_v more_o or_o less_o fear_n grief_n sadness_n desperation_n &_o other_o fearful_a consequent_n of_o good_a thing_n thus_o in_o the_o example_n of_o manasses_n or_o mary_n magdalen_n he_o that_o sorrow_v true_o for_o sin_n &_o leave_v it_o and_o follow_v righteousness_n repent_v say_v the_o principle_n or_o rule_n in_o the_o mind_n but_o thou_o m._n or_o m._n m._n do_v so_o say_v conscience_n as_o a_o witness_n therefore_o thou_o repente_v say_v conscience_n excuse_v again_o he_o that_o repent_v shall_v be_v save_v say_v the_o rule_n but_o thou_o m._n or_o m._n m._n repente_v say_v conscience_n excuse_v therefore_o the_o shall_v be_v save_v say_v conscience_n acquit_v and_o hence_o come_v peace_n of_o conscience_n joy_n boldness_n to_o come_v into_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n etc._n etc._n the_o action_n to_o come_v of_o which_o conscience_n determine_v be_v either_o good_a or_o have_v the_o conscience_n in_o regard_n of_o her_o judgement_n of_o good_a action_n may_v be_v call_v aspur_v or_o provoke_v conscience_n as_o thus_o if_o the_o question_n be_v concern_v keep_v of_o the_o sabaoth_n the_o commandment_n of_o god_n must_v be_v keep_v say_v the_o rule_n but_o to_o keep_v the_o sabaoth_n be_v a_o commandment_n of_o god_n say_v the_o judgement_n of_o reason_n therefore_o keep_v the_o sabaoth_n say_v conscience_n in_o regard_n of_o have_v thing_n

the_o conscience_n may_v be_v call_v a_o bridle_a or_o a_o restrain_v conscience_n as_o if_o question_n be_v whether_o the_o sabaoth_n may_v be_v break_v thus_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n may_v not_o be_v break_v but_o to_o break_v the_o sabaoth_n be_v to_o break_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n therefore_o break_v it_o not_o say_v conscience_n thus_o by_o experience_n we_o feel_v within_o we_o before_o we_o do_v a_o thing_n a_o certain_a power_n push_v we_o back_o or_o egg_v we_o forward_o or_o we_o seem_v to_o hear_v a_o voice_n in_o our_o breast_n bid_v or_o forbid_v us._n and_o when_o we_o do_v contrary_a to_o the_o motion_n and_o monish_n of_o conscience_n we_o be_v say_v to_o wound_n and_o to_o sin_n against_o our_o conscience_n which_o be_v grievous_a now_o remember_v
