conscience_n and_o the_o doubt_n arise_v from_o this_o and_o other_o text_n because_o here_o a_o servant_n be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o submit_v himself_o to_o a_o froward_a master_n both_o to_o

that_o god_n and_o his_o law_n have_v power_n simple_o and_o absolute_o to_o bind_v conscience_n that_o be_v to_o urge_v it_o to_o require_v obedience_n of_o a_o man_n or_o to_o accuse_v if_o he_o

and_o so_o lose_v the_o goodness_n which_o they_o have_v 1._o tim._n chap._n 1._o verse_n 19_o thus_o of_o the_o difference_n of_o evil_a in_o the_o conscience_n of_o diverse_a man_n the_o sign_n of_o a_o evil_a conscience_n follow_v but_o before_o i_o give_v the_o sign_n we_o must_v take_v notice_n of_o a_o distinction_n and_o that_o be_v that_o the_o conscience_n may_v have_v evil_a in_o it_o and_o not_o be_v a_o evil_a conscience_n conscience_n in_o this_o life_n in_o man_n regenerate_v be_v renew_v and_o restore_v but_o in_o part_n and_o so_o may_v err_v sometime_o and_o in_o some_o

conscience_n we_o mean_v conscience_n unregenerate_a as_o a_o man_n may_v have_v sin_n in_o he_o and_o yet_o be_v a_o good_a man_n so_o may_v conscience_n have_v blindness_n in_o it_o and_o yet_o be_v a_o good_a conscience_n the_o sign_n of_o a_o unregenerate_a conscience_n may_v be_v gather_v from_o the_o difference_n of_o evil_a conscience_n the_o sign_n then_o of_o a_o unregenerate_a still_a

when_o it_o be_v quiet_a notwithstanding_o secret_a whoredom_n or_o filthiness_n of_o any_o kind_n or_o continual_a wickedness_n in_o the_o thought_n or_o desire_n that_o conscience_n that_o can_v

persecute_v even_o to_o the_o death_n godly_a man_n and_o yet_o think_v they_o do_v god_n good_a service_n john_n 16.2_o the_o sign_n of_o a_o unregenerate_a stir_a conscience_n be_v these_o first_o

have_v no_o power_n to_o see_v the_o thing_n within_o they_o only_a man_n he_o have_v a_o knowledge_n reflex_v the_o eye_n of_o a_o man_n too_o can_v see_v other_o thing_n but_o without_o a_o glass_n it_o can_v see_v itself_o but_o now_o conscience_n can_v discern_v itself_o and_o the_o whole_a action_n of_o man_n and_o so_o it_o differ_v from_o science_n or_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o mind_n for_o to_o know_v other_o thing_n be_v science_n but_o to_o know_v ourselves_o be_v conscience_n the_o soul_n then_o by_o conscience_n know_v itself_o it_o view_v the_o thought_n memory_n affection_n

of_o our_o life_n we_o be_v here_o pilgrim_n and_o stranger_n far_o from_o our_o home_n and_o in_o journey_n continual_o now_o god_n have_v set_v conscience_n in_o we_o to_o be_v our_o guide_n that_o in_o all_o thing_n we_o be_v to_o do_v we_o may_v be_v direct_v and_o encourage_v by_o conscience_n take_v the_o direction_n and_o warrant_n of_o conscience_n as_o a_o special_a ground_n of_o our_o

be_v to_o come_v as_o now_o to_o be_v do_v but_o the_o principal_a work_n of_o conscience_n whether_o we_o respect_v god_n or_o man_n be_v to_o keep_v court_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n there_o

and_o pass_v sentence_n and_o so_o it_o proceed_v whether_o it_o condemn_v or_o absolve_v in_o the_o judgement_n of_o condemnation_n it_o proceed_v thus_o first_o it_o cite_v or_o call_v for_o the_o

then_o use_v the_o memory_n to_o testify_v of_o the_o fact_n as_o for_o instance_n every_o murderer_n be_v a_o offender_n thou_o be_v a_o murderer_n therefore_o thou_o be_v prove_v to_o be_v a_o

more_o afterward_o when_o i_o come_v to_o entreat_v of_o the_o sort_n of_o conscience_n observe_v by_o the_o way_n the_o difference_n between_o the_o court_n of_o conscience_n within_o we_o and_o
