because_o man_n be_v ready_a to_o trample_v upon_o and_o to_o raze_v out_o the_o write_n of_o conscience_n but_o the_o book_n of_o god_n they_o can_v therefore_o that_o be_v add_v to_o help_v conscience_n and_o god_n add_v his_o spirit_n to_o his_o word_n to_o convince_v conscience_n and_o to_o make_v the_o witness_n of_o the_o word_n more_o effectual_a for_o although_o the_o word_n say_v

not_o be_v full_o convict_v that_o conscience_n therefore_o may_v be_v able_a to_o witness_v well_o let_v we_o regard_v the_o notion_n of_o nature_n preserve_v they_o if_o we_o do_v not_o god_n will_v give_v we_o up_o to_o gross_a sin_n let_v we_o labour_n to_o have_v right_a principle_n and_o ground_n to_o cherish_v principle_n of_o nature_n common_a with_o the_o heathen_n and_o to_o lay_v up_o principle_n out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o preserve_v the_o admonition_n and_o direction_n and_o rule_n of_o the_o word_n and_o especial_o the_o sweet_a motion_n of_o god_n bless_a spirit_n for_o conscience_n always_o suppose_v a_o rule_n the_o rule_n of_o nature_n the_o rule_n of_o the_o word_n and_o the_o suggestion_n of_o the_o bless_a spirit_n with_o the_o word_n therefore_o to_o note_n by_o the_o way_n a_o ignorant_a man_n can_v never_o have_v a_o conscience_n good_a conscience_n especial_o a_o man_n that_o affect_v ignorance_n because_o he_o have_v no_o rule_n he_o labour_v to_o have_v none_o it_o be_v not_o mere_o ignorance_n but_o likewise_o obstinacy_n with_o ignorance_n he_o will_v not_o know_v what_o he_o shall_v lest_o conscience_n force_v he_o to_o do_v what_o he_o know_v what_o a_o sottish_a thing_n be_v this_o it_o will_v be_v the_o heavy_a sin_n that_o can_v be_v lay_v ro_o our_o charge_n at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n not_o that_o we_o be_v

what_o they_o know_v they_o shall_v know_v one_o day_n that_o their_o wilful_a ignorance_n will_v be_v lay_v to_o their_o charge_n as_o a_o heavy_a sin_n labour_v to_o have_v right_a principle_n and_o

they_o by_o other_o they_o be_v deceive_v and_o they_o deceive_v their_o heart_n they_o force_v false_a principle_n upon_o themselves_o many_o study_n for_o false_a ground_n to_o live_v by_o for_o their_o advantage_n there_o be_v many_o that_o be_v atheistical_a that_o live_v even_o under_o the_o gospel_n and_o what_o rule_n have_v they_o the_o example_n of_o they_o by_o who_o they_o hope_v to_o rife_o they_o study_v their_o manner_n they_o square_v their_o life_n by_o they_o that_o be_v all_o the_o rule_n they_o have_v and_o again_o the_o multitude_n they_o do_v as_o the_o most_o do_v

the_o most_o of_o their_o principle_n they_o sin_n against_o conscience_n many_o way_n i_o mean_v not_o against_o their_o own_o conscience_n but_o they_o sin_n against_o the_o conscience_n of_o other_o for_o what_o do_v they_o that_o they_o may_v rule_v in_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n for_o that_o be_v the_o end_n of_o their_o great_a prelate_n the_o tyrant_n of_o soul_n they_o have_v false_a rule_n that_o the_o pope_n can_v err_v their_o rule_n be_v the_o authority_n and_o judgement_n of_o he_o that_o can_v err_v and_o he_o for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v a_o unlearned_a man_n in_o

most_o of_o popery_n though_o there_o be_v no_o word_n of_o god_n it_o be_v against_o nature_n against_o conscience_n which_o god_n have_v plant_v in_o man_n as_o his_o deputy_n his_o tenant_n and_o as_o they_o sin_n against_o conscience_n so_o as_o i_o say_v conscience_n be_v even_o with_o they_o for_o let_v a_o man_n trust_v to_o his_o conscience_n and_o he_o can_v never_o be_v a_o sound_n

appeal_v to_o their_o own_o conscience_n if_o any_o man_n at_o the_o day_n of_o death_n think_v to_o be_v save_v by_o his_o merit_n do_v not_o bellarmine_n after_o long_a dispute_n of_o salvation_n by_o merit_n disclaim_v it_o do_v he_o not_o put_v away_o merit_n for_o the_o uncertainty_n of_o his_o own_o righteousness_n so_o their_o own_o conscience_n do_v wring_v away_o the_o testimony_n of_o trust_v to_o merit_n again_o that_o original_a sin_n be_v no_o great_a sin_n it_o be_v but_o the_o cause_n of_o sin_n and_o it_o be_v less_o than_o any_o venial_a sin_n oh_o but_o when_o conscience_n be_v awake_v to_o know_v what_o a_o corrupt_a estate_n it_o be_v it_o will_v draw_v from_o they_o that_o which_o it_o draw_v from_o saint_n paul_n oh_o wretched_a man_n that_o i_o be_o who_o shall_v deliver_v i_o from_o this_o body_n of_o death_n conscience_n when_o it_o be_v awake_v

will_v tell_v they_o that_o it_o be_v another_o manner_n of_o sin_n and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o sin_n and_o so_o for_o justification_n by_o work_n conscience_n itself_o if_o there_o be_v no_o book_n of_o god_n will_v say_v it_o be_v a_o false_a point_n and_o then_o they_o plead_v for_o ignorance_n they_o have_v blind_a conscience_n their_o clergy_n be_v a_o subtle_a generation_n that_o have_v abuse_v the_o world_n a_o long_a time_n because_o they_o will_v sit_v in_o the_o conscience_n where_o god_n shall_v sit_v they_o sit_v in_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n and_o will_v be_v respect_v above_o that_o which_o be_v due_a to_o they_o they_o will_v be_v account_v as_o petty_a god_n in_o the_o world_n therefore_o they_o keep_v the_o people_n from_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o true_a rule_n and_o make_v what_o they_o speak_v equal_a with_o god_n word_n now_o if_o the_o people_n do_v discern_v this_o they_o will_v not_o be_v papist_n long_v for_o no_o man_n will_v willing_o be_v cozen_v let_v we_o labour_v therefore_o for_o a_o true_a rule_n and_o when_o we_o have_v get_v rule_n apply_v they_o for_o what_o be_v rule_n without_o they_o application_n rule_n be_v instrumental_a thing_n and_o instrument_n without_o use_n be_v nothing_o if_o a_o carpenter_n have_v a_o rule_n and_o hang_v it_o up_o by_o he_o and_o work_v by_o conceit_n what_o be_v it_o good_a for_o so_o to_o get_v a_o company_n of_o rule_n by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o refine_v natural_a knowledge_n as_o much_o as_o we_o can_v and_o then_o to_o make_v no_o use_n of_o it_o in_o our_o life_n it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n therefore_o when_o we_o have_v rule_n let_v we_o apply_v they_o in_o this_o those_o that_o have_v the_o true_a rule_n and_o apply_v it_o not_o be_v better_o than_o they_o that_o refuse_v to_o have_v the_o rule_n because_o as_o have_v be_v say_v a_o ignorant_a man_n that_o have_v not_o the_o rule_n he_o can_v be_v good_a but_o a_o man_n that_o have_v the_o rule_n and_o yet_o square_n not_o his_o life_n by_o it_o yet_o he_o can_v bring_v the_o rule_n to_o his_o life_n there_o be_v a_o near_a converse_n between_o the_o heart_n and_o the_o brain_n such_o a_o man_n he_o have_v the_o rule_n in_o his_o memory_n he_o have_v it_o in_o his_o understanding_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v a_o thousand_o time_n more_o hope_n of_o he_o that_o care_v to_o know_v that_o care_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o care_n for_o the_o mean_n then_o of_o sottish_a person_n that_o care_v not_o to_o hear_v because_o they_o will_v not_o do_v that_o they_o know_v and_o because_o they_o will_v not_o have_v their_o sleepy_a dull_a and_o drowsy_a conscience_n awake_v there_o be_v no_o hope_n of_o such_o a_o one_o it_o shall_v be_v our_o care_n to_o have_v right_a

it_o will_v witness_v and_o excuse_v and_o upon_o witness_n and_o excuse_v there_o will_v come_v a_o sweet_a paradise_n to_o the_o soul_n of_o joy_n and_o peace_n unspeakable_a and_o glorious_a the_o last_o thing_n i_o observe_v from_o these_o word_n be_v this_o that_o the_o testimony_n and_o witness_n of_o conscience_n be_v a_o ground_n of_o joy_n comfort_n and_o joy_n the_o reason_n of_o the_o

first_o admonish_v and_o then_o witness_v and_o then_o it_o excuse_v or_o accuse_v and_o then_o it_o judge_v and_o execute_v now_o the_o inward_a execution_n of_o conscience_n be_v joy_n if_o it_o be_v good_a for_o god_n have_v so_o plant_v it_o in_o the_o heart_n and_o soul_n that_o where_o conscience_n do_v accuse_v or_o excuse_v there_o be_v always_o execution_n there_o be_v always_o joy_n or_o fear_v the_o affection_n of_o joy_n or_o fear_v always_o follow_v if_o a_o man_n conscience_n excuse_v he_o that_o he_o have_v do_v well_o than_o conscience_n come_v to_o be_v enlarge_v to_o be_v a_o paradise_n to_o the_o soul_n to_o be_v a_o jubilee_n a_o refresh_a to_o speak_v peace_n and_o comfort_n to_o a_o man_n for_o reward_n be_v not_o keep_v altogether_o for_o the_o life_n to_o come_v
