in_o that_o particular_a and_o from_o that_o time_n to_o break_v off_o that_o sin_n which_o we_o have_v then_o repent_v of_o and_o have_v ask_v forgiveness_n of_o god_n for_o for_o if_o after_o we_o have_v repent_v of_o it_o we_o return_v to_o it_o again_o we_o wound_v our_o conscience_n afresh_o and_o involve_v they_o in_o a_o new_a guilt_n in_o the_o last_o place_n we_o shall_v reverence_v our_o conscience_n and_o stand_v in_o awe_n of_o they_o and_o have_v a_o great_a regard_n to_o their_o testimony_n and_o verdict_n for_o conscience_n be_v a_o domestic_a judge_n and_o a_o kind_n of_o familiar_a god_n and_o therefore_o next_o to_o the_o supreme_a majesty_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n every_o man_n shall_v be_v afraid_a to_o offend_v his_o own_o reason_n and_o conscience_n which_o whenever_o we_o know_o do_v amiss_o will_v beat_v we_o with_o many_o stripe_n and_o handle_v we_o more_o severe_o than_o the_o great_a enemy_n we_o have_v in_o the_o world_n so_o that_o next_o to_o the_o dreadful_a sentence_n of_o the_o great_a day_n every_o man_n have_v reason_n to_o dread_v the_o sentence_n of_o his_o own_o conscience_n god_n indeed_o be_v great_a than_o our_o heart_n and_o know_v all_o thing_n but_o under_o he_o we_o have_v the_o great_a reason_n to_o fear_v the_o judgement_n of_o our_o own_o conscience_n for_o nothing_o but_o that_o can_v give_v we_o comfort_n and_o nothing_o can_v create_v so_o much_o trouble_v and_o disquiet_v to_o we_o and_o though_o the_o judgement_n of_o our_o conscience_n be_v not_o always_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n yet_o we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o have_v great_a regard_n to_o it_o and_o that_o upon_o several_a account_n which_o i_o shall_v but_o brief_o mention_v and_o so_o conclude_v first_o because_o the_o judgement_n of_o out_o conscience_n be_v free_a from_o any_o compulsion_n no_o body_n can_v force_v it_o from_o we_o whether_o we_o will_v or_o no_o and_o make_v we_o to_o pass_v sentence_n against_o ourselves_o whether_o we_o see_v reason_n for_o it_o or_o not_o second_o the_o sentence_n of_o our_o own_o conscience_n be_v very_o likely_a to_o be_v impartial_a at_o lest_o not_o too_o hard_o on_o the_o severe_a side_n because_o man_n natural_o love_v themselves_o and_o be_v too_o apt_a to_o be_v favourable_a in_o their_o own_o case_n all_o the_o world_n can_v bribe_v a_o man_n against_o himself_o there_o be_v no_o man_n who_o mind_n be_v not_o either_o distemper_v by_o melancholy_a or_o delude_v by_o false_a principle_n that_o be_v apt_a to_o be_v credulous_a against_o himself_o and_o his_o own_o interest_n and_o peace_n three_o the_o judgement_n which_o our_o conscience_n pass_v upon_o our_o own_o action_n be_v upon_o the_o most_o intimate_a and_o certain_a knowledge_n of_o they_o and_o of_o their_o true_a motive_n and_o end_n we_o may_v easy_o be_v deceive_v in_o our_o judgement_n of_o the_o action_n of_o other_o man_n and_o may_v think_v they_o to_o be_v much_o better_a or_o worse_o than_o in_o truth_n they_o be_v because_o we_o can_v certain_o tell_v with_o what_o mind_n they_o be_v do_v and_o what_o circumstance_n there_o may_v be_v to_o excuse_v or_o aggravate_v they_o how_o strong_a the_o temptation_n be_v or_o how_o weak_a the_o judgement_n of_o he_o that_o be_v seduce_v by_o it_o into_o error_n and_o folly_n but_o we_o be_v conscious_a to_o all_o the_o secret_a spring_n and_o motive_n and_o circumstance_n of_o our_o own_o action_n we_o can_v descend_v into_o our_o own_o heart_n and_o dive_v to_o the_o bottom_n of_o they_o and_o search_v into_o the_o most_o retire_a corner_n of_o our_o intention_n and_o end_n which_o none_o beside_o ourselves_o but_o only_o god_n can_v do_v for_o except_v he_o only_o none_o know_v the_o thing_n of_o a_o man_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n which_o be_v in_o he_o four_o the_o sentence_n of_o our_o conscience_n be_v peremptory_a and_o inexorable_a and_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o avoid_v it_o thou_o may_v possible_o fly_v from_o the_o wrath_n of_o other_o man_n to_o the_o uttermost_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n but_o thou_o can_v not_o stir_v one_o step_n from_o thyself_o in_o vain_a shall_v thou_o call_v upon_o the_o mountain_n and_o rock_n to_o fall_v on_o thou_o and_o hide_v thou_o from_o the_o sight_n of_o thy_o own_o conscience_n wretched_a and_o miserable_a man_n when_o thou_o have_v offend_v and_o wound_v thy_o conscience_n for_o whether_o can_v thou_o go_v to_o escape_v the_o eye_n of_o this_o witness_n the_o terror_n of_o this_o judge_n the_o torment_n of_o this_o executioner_n a_o man_n may_v as_o soon_o get_v rid_v of_o himself_o and_o quit_v his_o own_o be_v as_o fly_v from_o the_o sharp_a accusation_n and_o sting_a guilt_n of_o his_o own_o conscience_n which_o will_v perpetual_o haunt_v he_o till_o it_o be_v do_v away_o by_o repentance_n and_o forgiveness_n we_o account_v it_o a_o fearful_a thing_n to_o be_v haunt_v by_o evil_a spirit_n and_o yet_o the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n which_o be_v in_o he_o thorough_o affright_v with_o its_o own_o guilt_n may_v be_v a_o more_o ghastly_a and_o amaze_a spectacle_n than_o all_o the_o devil_n in_o hell_n there_o be_v no_o such_o frightful_a apparition_n in_o the_o world_n as_o a_o man_n own_o guilty_a and_o terrify_a conscience_n stare_v he_o in_o the_o face_n a_o spirit_n that_o be_v thus_o wound_v who_o can_v bear_v to_o conclude_v let_v these_o confederation_n prevail_v with_o we_o always_o to_o live_v not_o with_o regard_n to_o the_o opinion_n of_o other_o which_o may_v be_v ground_v upon_o mistake_n or_o may_v not_o indeed_o be_v their_o opinion_n but_o their_o flattery_n but_o with_o regard_n to_o the_o judgement_n of_o our_o own_o conscience_n which_o though_o it_o may_v sometime_o be_v mistake_v can_v never_o be_v bribe_v and_o corrupt_v we_o may_v be_v hypocrite_n to_o other_o and_o base_a flatterer_n but_o our_o conscience_n whenever_o they_o be_v thorough_o awaken_v be_v always_o sincere_a and_o deal_v true_o with_o we_o and_o speak_v to_o we_o as_o they_o think_v therefore_o whatever_o we_o say_v or_o do_v let_v it_o be_v sincere_a for_o though_o hypocrisy_n may_v for_o a_o while_o preserve_v our_o esteem_n and_o reputation_n with_o other_o yet_o it_o can_v signify_v nothing_o to_o the_o peace_n of_o our_o own_o mind_n and_o then_o what_o will_v it_o avail_v we_o to_o conceal_v any_o thing_n from_o other_o man_n when_o we_o can_v hide_v nothing_o that_o we_o say_v or_o do_v from_o our_o own_o conscience_n the_o sum_n of_o all_o be_v this_o if_o we_o will_v keep_v a_o conscience_n void_a of_o offence_n let_v we_o always_o be_v calm_a and_o considerate_a and_o have_v the_o patience_n to_o examine_v thing_n thorough_o and_o impartial_o let_v we_o be_v humble_a and_o willing_a to_o learn_v and_o never_o too_o proud_a and_o stiff_o to_o be_v better_o inform_v let_v we_o do_v what_o we_o can_v to_o free_v ourselves_o from_o prejudice_n and_o passion_n from_o self-conceit_n and_o self-interest_n which_o be_v often_o too_o strong_a a_o bias_n upon_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o best_a man_n as_o we_o may_v see_v every_o day_n in_o very_o sad_a and_o melancholy_a instance_n and_o have_v take_v all_o due_a care_n to_o inform_v our_o conscience_n aright_o let_v we_o follow_v the_o judgement_n of_o our_o mind_n in_o what_o we_o do_v and_o then_o we_o have_v do_v what_o we_o can_v to_o please_v god_n and_o if_o we_o will_v always_o take_v this_o care_n to_o keep_v a_o good_a conscience_n we_o shall_v always_o be_v easy_a and_o good_a company_n to_o ourselves_o but_o if_o we_o offend_v our_o conscience_n by_o do_v contrary_a to_o the_o clear_a dictate_v and_o conviction_n of_o they_o we_o make_v the_o unhappy_a breach_n in_o the_o world_n we_o
