the_o conscience_n i_o say_v be_v at_o liberty_n when_o it_o be_v free_v from_o the_o burden_n of_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n past_a and_o from_o the_o present_a temptation_n unto_o sin_n and_o till_o this_o be_v witness_v there_o be_v no_o true_a liberty_n of_o conscience_n for_o every_o thing_n whatsoever_o which_o be_v sin_n and_o transgression_n against_o god_n in_o work_n or_o word_n bring_v

by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n which_o lead_v into_o all_o truth_n and_o preserve_v from_o all_o evil_n then_o be_v the_o conscience_n at_o liberty_n and_o this_o be_v true_a liberty_n of_o conscience_n when_o this_o be_v bring_v forth_o in_o the_o creature_n for_o where_o sin_n be_v bring_v forth_o and_o transgression_n live_v in_o there_o the_o conscience_n be_v bind_v and_o the_o

of_o god_n do_v not_o exercise_v it_o but_o the_o spirit_n of_o unrighteousness_n lead_v the_o mind_n into_o the_o lust_n of_o this_o world_n into_o lie_v swear_v pride_n drunkenness_n hypocrisy_n

by_o persecution_n and_o act_n in_o opposition_n to_o such_o who_o conscience_n be_v thus_o free_v can_v embodage_n the_o conscience_n to_o god-ward_n or_o bring_v it_o under_o a_o burden_n to_o

whatsoever_o suffering_n be_v lay_v upon_o they_o by_o any_o man_n or_o law_n without_o yet_o their_o pure_a conscience_n be_v free_a and_o at_o liberty_n in_o itself_o to_o godward_o through_o all_o this_o and_o over_o it_o all_o for_o he_o lord_n have_v set_v they_o free_a from_o all_o that_o bondage_n and_o guilt_n of_o iniquity_n which_o have_v be_v a_o bondage_n upon_o their_o conscience_n

which_o will_v exercise_v dominion_n in_o and_o over_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o bring_v they_o into_o captivity_n as_o sometime_o their_o person_n be_v by_o evil_a law_n and_o

can_v bring_v it_o into_o bondage_n or_o captivity_n but_o in_o all_o condition_n and_o in_o all_o exercise_n whether_o do_v or_o suffer_v the_o pure_a conscience_n be_v in_o liberty_n in_o itself_o
