on_o earth_n shall_v be_v loose_v in_o heaven_n but_o now_o methinks_v i_o have_v to_o encounter_v with_o a_o very_a grand_a objection_n namely_o this_o how_o can_v conscience_n be_v say_v to_o be_v qualify_v as_o a_o reprover_n or_o smiter_n for_o sin_n since_o it_o sometime_o smite_v man_n for_o that_o which_o be_v no_o sin_n at_o other_o time_n when_o man_n do_v real_o sin_v against_o god_n it_o smite_v not_o at_o all_o but_o rather_o applaud_v and_o commend_v they_o as_o do_v the_o conscience_n of_o st._n paul_n which_o tell_v he_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v many_o thing_n against_o jesus_n of_o nazareth_n and_o that_o it_o be_v true_a zeal_n in_o he_o to_o persecute_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n sith_o conscience_n sometime_o put_v darkness_n for_o light_n and_o light_n for_o

wicked_a and_o condemn_v the_o righteous_a can_v it_o be_v may_v some_o say_v that_o god_n shall_v give_v a_o commission_n to_o conscience_n to_o smite_v those_o which_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v smite_v or_o to_o chide_v those_o which_o ought_v rather_o to_o be_v comfort_v or_o to_o comfort_n and_o commend_v those_o who_o ought_v rather_o to_o be_v sound_o chide_v and_o condemn_v if_o conscience_n trifle_v at_o this_o rate_n may_v some_o say_v ought_v it_o not_o to_o be_v slight_v like_o a_o perfidious_a jury_n that_o bring_v in_o those_o guilty_a that_o be_v not_o guilty_a and_o those_o not_o guilty_a that_o be_v guilty_a this_o objection_n seem_v to_o stand_v like_o a_o mountain_n if_o not_o like_o mount_n zion_n itself_o which_o can_v never_o be_v remove_v yet_o wait_v but_o a_o while_n you_o may_v see_v it_o make_v a_o plane_n if_o not_o turn_v into_o a_o valley_n i_o premise_v a_o word_n or_o two_o by_o way_n of_o concession_n namely_o that_o conscience_n in_o this_o corrupt_a degenerate_a estate_n of_o all_o humane_a faculty_n do_v sometime_o mistake_v comfort_v those_o which_o it_o ought_v to_o chide_v and_o chide_v those_o who_o it_o ought_v to_o comfort_v but_o thanks_o be_v to_o god_n there_o be_v a_o way_n to_o prevent_v those_o mistake_n time_n be_v when_o conscience_n may_v have_v serve_v as_o a_o law_n to_o we_o and_o of_o itself_o a_o kind_n of_o regula_fw-la pure_a regulans_fw-la but_o now_o it_o be_v a_o regula_fw-la regulata_fw-la viz._n a_o rule_n to_o be_v rule_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v to_o conscience_n as_o

their_o path_n there_o be_v a_o crookedness_n which_o have_v happen_v in_o part_n to_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n by_o adam_n fall_n and_o their_o fall_n in_o he_o but_o be_v such_o as_o may_v be_v rectify_v or_o make_v straight_o by_o attend_v to_o

the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o the_o psalmist_n say_v a_o young_a man_n may_v cleanse_v his_o way_n by_o take_v heed_n to_o god_n word_n look_v how_o a_o raw_a and_o unskilful_a composer_n may_v do_v well_o enough_o if_o he_o shall_v but_o follow_v the_o advice_n of_o a_o able_a and_o careful_a corrector_n of_o the_o press_n so_o may_v the_o conscience_n of_o man_n produce_v a_o correct_a edition_n of_o their_o life_n if_o they_o make_v but_o such_o amendment_n as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n do_v direct_v far_o be_v it_o from_o we_o to_o charge_v the_o holy_a god_n so_o foolish_o as_o if_o he_o do_v suborn_v and_o instigate_v the_o conscience_n of_o man_n to_o condemn_v they_o for_o what_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v commend_v or_o to_o commend_v they_o for_o what_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v condemn_v for_o shall_v not_o the_o judge_n of_o all_o the_o earth_n do_v righteous_o be_v not_o jehovah_n a_o god_n that_o can_v lie_v this_o premise_a it_o must_v needs_o be_v say_v that_o god_n never_o do_v do_v or_o can_v give_v to_o conscience_n a_o commission_n or_o command_v to_o smite_v when_o it_o ought_v not_o to_o smite_v or_o to_o strike_v when_o it_o ought_v rather_o to_o smile_v upon_o we_o but_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o god_n do_v sometime_o give_v such_o a_o permission_n as_o that_o to_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n and_o leave_v they_o as_o he_o be_v free_a to_o do_v to_o misrepresent_v thing_n according_a to_o their_o corrupt_a and_o perverse_a inclination_n that_o passage_n in_o the_o first_o of_o king_n 22.22_o which_o seem_v of_o all_o other_o text_n most_o pregnant_a to_o prove_v that_o god_n almighty_n do_v sometime_o give_v forth_o his_o command_n and_o commission_n to_o instrument_n to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a as_o namely_o to_o lie_v etc._n etc._n will_v be_v find_v upon_o due_a examination_n to_o signify_v just_a nothing_o to_o that_o purpose_n the_o word_n be_v these_o and_o the_o evil_a spirit_n say_v i_o will_v go_v

in_o like_a manner_n the_o word_n go_v forth_o and_o do_v so_o in_o the_o text_n i_o be_o explain_v signify_v no_o more_o but_o this_o i_o will_v not_o be_v thy_o hindrance_n if_o thou_o will_v thou_o

be_v not_o to_o hinder_v all_o the_o sin_n that_o be_v or_o ever_o be_v or_o ever_o shall_v be_v possible_a for_o he_o to_o hinder_v that_o be_v all_o sin_n that_o ever_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o world_n there_o be_v no_o fault_n to_o be_v charge_v upon_o god_n for_o permit_v and_o but_o bare_o permit_v the_o degenerate_a purblind_a conscience_n of_o man_n like_o ahab_n false_a prophet_n to_o delude_v and_o deceive_v they_o when_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n have_v defile_v and_o debauch_a themselves_o it_o be_v at_o god_n pleasure_n and_o liberty_n whether_o hewill_n or_o will_v not_o restore_v and_o rectify_v they_o however_o this_o may_v serve_v for_o ever_o to_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o man_n that_o though_o their_o conscience_n in_o this_o fall_a state_n be_v not_o a_o

give_v another_o auxiliary_a or_o supplemental_a light_n if_o i_o may_v so_o call_v it_o viz._n the_o holy_a scripture_n which_o be_v say_v to_o be_v profitable_a for_o doctrine_n for_o reproof_n for_o correction_n for_o instruction_n in_o righteousness_n that_o the_o man_n of_o god_n may_v be_v perfect_a thorough_o furnish_v unto_o all_o good_a work_n for_o as_o man_n can_v not_o plead_v

man_n to_o show_v they_o the_o way_n in_o the_o which_o they_o ought_v to_o walk_v and_o to_o please_v god_n what_o if_o the_o torch_n of_o natural_a light_n or_o conscience_n have_v be_v well_o
