the_o world_n more_o than_o he_o love_v god_n when_o he_o do_v not_o how_o then_o do_v conscience_n bear_v right_a witness_n i_o answer_v this_o arise_v either_o from_o the_o strength_n of_o

see_v the_o radical_a power_n of_o this_o love_n of_o god_n which_o in_o regard_n of_o its_o virtue_n be_v strong_a than_o the_o other_o as_o a_o fool_n if_o he_o shall_v feel_v hot_a water_n will_v

1_o i._o use_v of_o reproof_n to_o those_o who_o stand_v out_o against_o the_o witness_n of_o their_o conscience_n and_o like_o hard-hearted_a felon_n plead_v still_o not_o guilty_a though_o never_o

before_o god_n himself_o come_v and_o join_v with_o conscience_n to_o condemn_v for_o ever_o 2._o ii_o it_o serve_v for_o singular_a encouragement_n to_o all_o to_o abound_v in_o good_a work_n conscience_n will_v bear_v witness_n of_o they_o all_o to_o our_o unspeakable_a comfort_n in_o the_o time_n of_o affliction_n yea_o at_o death_n and_o judgement_n job_n feel_v it_o a_o sweet_a thing_n to_o have_v conscience_n give_v in_o testimony_n of_o his_o integrity_n and_o uprightness_n when_o his_o friend_n prove_v miserable_a comforter_n and_o god_n himself_o seem_v to_o write_v bitter_a thing_n against_o he_o yet_o his_o conscience_n witness_v that_o he_o have_v be_v eye_n to_o the_o blind_a and_o foot_n to_o the_o lame_a he_o have_v feed_v the_o hungry_a and_o clothe_v the_o naked_a and_o comfort_v the_o fatherless_a there_o be_v not_o a_o good_a thing_n that_o ever_o we_o do_v but_o conscience_n will_v afford_v we_o the_o sweetness_n and_o comfort_n of_o it_o in_o our_o touble_n remember_v o_o lord_n say_v hezekiah_n 3._o that_o i_o have_v walk_v before_o thou_o in_o truth_n and_o with_o a_o perfect_a heart_n conscience_n we_o have_v speak_v of_o conscience_n single_a bear_v witness_n now_o follow_v its_o judicial_a bear_v witness_n which_o be_v when_o it_o pass_v sentence_n upon_o on_o the_o moral_a of_o our_o action_n whether_o they_o be_v good_a or_o evil_n whether_o bless_v or_o curse_a this_o be_v perform_v by_o a_o logical_a discourse_n by_o way_n of_o reason_v on_o this_o manner_n the_o word_n say_v whoever_o look_v on_o a_o woman_n to_o lust_n after_o she_o have_v commit_v adultery_n in_o his_o heart_n that_o be_v the_o synteresis_fw-la now_o the_o assumption_n but_o i_o have_v have_v wanton_a eye_n and_o lustful_a looking_n after_o a_o woman_n that_o be_v the_o single_a bear_a witness_n of_o conscience_n therefore_o i_o have_v commit_v adultery_n in_o my_o heart_n that_o be_v the_o judiciary_n sentence_n of_o conscience_n which_o it_o pass_v on_o a_o man_n self_n so_o again_o whosoever_o crucifi_v the_o flesh_n with_o the_o affection_n and_o lust_n he_o be_v in_o christ_n but_o say_v conscience_n i_o crucify_v the_o flesh_n with_o its_o affection_n and_o lust_n therefore_o i_o be_o in_o christ_n though_o there_o be_v not_o the_o form_n of_o this_o discourse_n in_o our_o conscience_n yet_o there_o be_v the_o force_n of_o it_o for_o when_o conscience_n do_v judicial_o witness_v against_o any_o man_n or_o for_o any_o man_n it_o do_v it_o by_o the_o word_n and_o proceed_v in_o the_o way_n which_o be_v propound_v the_o use_n of_o this_o be_v first_o for_o comfort_n to_o the_o godly_a 1_o who_o may_v hence_o gather_v the_o assurance_n of_o their_o salvation_n from_o the_o rule_n of_o god_n word_n and_o the_o witness_n of_o their_o conscience_n that_o they_o walk_v by_o this_o rule_n the_o word_n

conscience_n never_o stir_v about_o second_o the_o knowledge_n of_o ourselves_o be_v needful_a else_o conscience_n can_v act_v neither_o though_o we_o know_v what_o god_n law_n require_v and_o what_o not_o what_o be_v good_a and_o what_o not_o yet_o unless_o we_o know_v whether_o we_o go_v with_o it_o or_o against_o it_o conscience_n can_v accuse_v nor_o excuse_v as_o for_o example_n a_o close_a hypocrite_n he_o know_v well_o enough_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v condemn_v hypocrisy_n and_o that_o hypocrite_n must_v have_v their_o portion_n in_o hell_n yet_o if_o he_o do_v not_o know_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o hypocrite_n his_o conscience_n can_v never_o condemn_v he_o for_o be_v one_o and_o therefore_o both_o these_o knowledge_n be_v necessary_a as_o well_o the_o knowledge_n of_o a_o man_n self_n as_o of_o god_n law_n many_o who_o have_v a_o hand_n in_o crucify_a our_o saviour_n sin_v grievous_o yet_o they_o sin_v not_o against_o knowledge_n because_o they_o know_v not_o what_o they_o do_v father_n forgive_v they_o 23.34_o they_o know_v not_o what_o they_o do_v three_o it_o be_v a_o contradiction_n to_o say_v a_o blind_a conscience_n in_o act_n the_o conscience_n can_v be_v blind_a and_o yet_o actual_o condemn_v indeed_o the_o conscience_n itself_o may_v be_v blind_a but_o it_o can_v never_o act_v and_o be_v blind_a if_o it_o true_o accuse_v or_o excuse_v it_o must_v have_v some_o light_n it_o be_v true_a it_o may_v erroneous_o excuse_v or_o accuse_v and_o yet_o have_v no_o true_a light_n seem_v light_n be_v enough_o to_o do_v that_o seem_v knowledge_n be_v enough_o to_o make_v conscience_n erroneous_o excuse_v as_o they_o who_o kill_v the_o apostle_n 16.2_o their_o conscience_n excuse_v they_o and_o tell_v they_o they_o do_v god_n good_a service_n they_o seem_v to_o know_v it_o be_v good_a service_n to_o god_n and_o therefore_o their_o conscience_n excuse_v they_o etc._n etc._n thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o light_a that_o conscience_n work_v by_o be_v knowledge_n the_o use_n of_o this_o point_n be_v first_o 1_o to_o let_v we_o see_v the_o infinite_a necessity_n of_o knowledge_n as_o good_a have_v no_o conscience_n at_o all_o as_o conscience_n without_o knowledge_n for_o it_o can_v act_v and_o perform_v its_o office_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o so_o many_o thousand_o go_v on_o in_o their_o sin_n without_o repentance_n because_o be_v ignorant_a they_o have_v no_o conscience_n to_o prick_v they_o thereunto_o as_o jer._n 8.6_o no_o man_n repent_v he_o of_o his_o wickedness_n say_v what_o have_v i_o do_v why_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o conscience_n do_v not_o prick_v they_o and_o say_v this_o thou_o have_v do_v and_o that_o thus_o you_o have_v rebel_v &_o c_o the_o text_n answer_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n my_o people_n know_v not_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o stork_n know_v her_o time_n and_o the_o turtle_n and_o the_o swallow_n but_o my_o people_n do_v not_o know_v their_o duty_n 2._o another_o use_n be_v to_o exhort_v we_o that_o we_o will_v labour_v to_o perfect_v the_o light_n of_o conscience_n that_o it_o may_v be_v able_a to_o guide_v we_o and_o direct_v we_o unto_o heaven_n our_o conscience_n have_v knowledge_n enough_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n to_o make_v we_o inexcusable_a and_o to_o clear_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n though_o he_o shall_v damn_v we_o for_o ever_o but_o there_o must_v be_v a_o great_a light_n than_o that_o that_o must_v guide_v we_o to_o heaven_n o_o let_v we_o pray_v to_o christ_n the_o true_a light_n to_o set_v up_o this_o light_n in_o we_o that_o we_o may_v never_o be_v at_o a_o loss_n in_o our_o way_n to_o happiness_n never_o step_v out_o of_o the_o right_a path_n but_o our_o conscience_n may_v be_v able_a to_o put_v we_o in_o again_o never_o go_v slow_o but_o our_o conscience_n may_v spur_v we_o on_o fast_a that_o our_o conscience_n may_v not_o be_v like_o the_o snuff_n of_o a_o candle_n in_o a_o socket_n that_o flame_v up_o now_o and_o then_o and_o then_o be_v dark_a again_o and_o again_o it_o flame_v out_o and_o be_v dark_a again_o a_o man_n may_v see_v his_o book_n by_o it_o but_o he_o can_v see_v to_o read_v he_o may_v see_v his_o pen_n and_o ink_n by_o it_o but_o he_o can_v see_v to_o write_v a_o woman_n may_v see_v her_o needle_n and_o cloth_n by_o it_o but_o she_o can_v see_v to_o work_v so_o it_o be_v with_o some_o man_n conscience_n their_o light_n be_v so_o dim_a that_o they_o can_v see_v the_o duty_n but_o they_o can_v see_v to_o do_v they_o they_o can_v see_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n but_o they_o can_v see_v to_o obey_v they_o o_o labour_n to_o perfect_v the_o light_n of_o your_o conscience_n that_o you_o may_v see_v to_o walk_v by_o they_o and_o thus_o much_o also_o of_o the_o second_o proposition_n the_o light_n that_o conscience_n act_v by_o be_v knowledge_n now_o i_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o three_o proposition_n which_o as_o i_o first_o propound_v they_o be_v this_o the_o bond_n that_o bind_v conscience_n be_v god_n law_n but_o i_o will_v now_o a_o little_a alter_v the_o method_n and_o make_v the_o other_o which_o be_v propound_v last_o to_o be_v the_o three_o in_o the_o handle_n and_o it_o be_v this_o proposition_n iii_o the_o office_n of_o conscience_n be_v to_o bear_v witness_n to_o accuse_v or_o excuse_v conscience_n be_v put_v into_o this_o office_n
