though_o you_o have_v deceive_v man_n yet_o you_o can_v deceive_v a_o all-seeing_a god_n that_o say_v of_o our_o saviour_n be_v true_a in_o this_o sense_n also_o woe_n to_o we_o not_o only_a when_o

for_o our_o conscience_n do_v never_o yet_o check_v we_o for_o any_o sin_n and_o as_o long_o as_o we_o have_v good_a conscience_n what_o need_v we_o fear_v sure_o if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o we_o be_v

man_n accuse_v you_o of_o any_o sin_n it_o do_v not_o thence_o follow_v that_o no_o man_n can_v accuse_v you_o of_o any_o sin_n so_o here_o you_o say_v your_o conscience_n do_v not_o accuse_v you_o o_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o therefore_o your_o conscience_n can_v accuse_v you_o there_o be_v many_o vile_a person_n in_o the_o world_n who_o conscience_n never_o yet_o smite_v they_o for_o many_o

conscience_n be_v like_o some_o devil_n we_o read_v of_o in_o the_o gospel_n they_o be_v dumb_a devil_n so_o there_o be_v dumb_a conscience_n nay_o and_o where_o conscience_n do_v sometime_o speak_v sometime_o it_o hold_v its_o tongue_n a_o example_n in_o david_n when_o david_n cut_v the_o lap_n of_o saul_n garment_n it_o be_v say_v his_o heart_n smite_v he_o there_o conscience_n speak_v 1_o

a_o whole_a year_n in_o that_o sin_n without_o any_o remorse_n of_o conscience_n at_o all_o till_o the_o prophet_n nathan_n come_v and_o reprove_v he_o for_o it_o divine_v they_o tell_v we_o that_o

you_o sin_n and_o your_o conscience_n let_v you_o alone_o and_o never_o tell_v you_o of_o they_o 2._o again_o you_o say_v conscience_n never_o yet_o accuse_v you_o for_o any_o sin_n it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o therefore_o conscience_n will_v never_o accuse_v you_o nay_o rather_o thus_o you_o must_v think_v that_o conscience_n have_v a_o long_a reckon_n with_o you_o conscience_n have_v the_o more_o against_o you_o and_o it_o will_v call_v you_o to_o a_o account_n for_o all_o at_o last_o conscience_n be_v like_o a_o shopkeeper_n you_o take_v up_o ware_n at_o your_o mercer_n or_o grocer_n
