conscience_n for_o that_o only_o we_o be_v to_o speak_v of_o now_o be_v good_a when_o conformable_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n reveal_v in_o the_o scripture_n now_o because_o the_o scripture_n have_v two_o part_n answer_v to_o the_o twofold_a estate_n of_o man_n before_o and_o since_o the_o fall_n viz._n the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o good_a
