14._o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n in_o which_o word_n by_o faith_n be_v understand_v conscience_n but_o by_o the_o way_n they_o must_v see_v that_o their_o conscience_n be_v right_o inform_v else_o it_o will_v be_v their_o damnation_n for_o as_o 9_o matth._n 26._o act_n 9_o it_o be_v sin_n in_o saint_n peter_n to_o deny_v christ_n when_o in_o his_o conscience_n he_o know_v that_o he_o do_v evil_a so_o it_o be_v sin_n in_o saint_n paul_n to_o persecute_v christ_n when_o he_o think_v in_o his_o conscience_n he_o do_v well_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o only_o damnable_a to_o do_v contrary_a to_o their_o conscience_n but_o also_o to_o do_v according_a as_o their_o conscience_n shall_v direct_v they_o if_o they_o be_v not_o persuade_v by_o the_o truth_n therefore_o let_v they_o not_o deceive_v themselves_o take_v that_o for_o conscience_n which_o be_v but_o a_o error_n of_o conscience_n and_o indeed_o a_o false_a persuasion_n of_o their_o mind_n in_o follow_a that_n which_o the_o ignorance_n of_o their_o own_o fantasy_n and_o blind_a conceit_n do_v lead_v they_o unto_o without_o seek_v any_o further_o for_o so_o in_o his_o zeal_n vzza_n support_v the_o ark_n 13_o 1._o

that_o the_o time_n shall_v come_v that_o whosoever_o kill_v they_o shall_v think_v he_o do_v god_n good_a service_n and_o he_o show_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o their_o error_n these_o thing_n say_v he_o they_o will_v do_v unto_o you_o because_o they_o have_v not_o know_v the_o father_n nor_o i_o therefore_o for_o their_o better_a instruction_n i_o will_v define_v unto_o they_o what_o conscience_n be_v conscience_n i_o say_v be_v a_o application_n of_o a_o general_a knowledge_n ground_v upon_o god_n word_n to_o particular_a action_n and_o intent_n or_o thus_o conscience_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o argumentation_n or_o practic_a syllogism_n whereby_o out_o of_o a_o general_a proposition_n we_o do_v by_o a_o particular_a conclusion_n absolve_v or_o condemn_v ourselves_o or_o other_o in_o this_o syllogism_n the_o mayor_n proposition_n be_v the_o inward_a sense_n and_o feel_n of_o god_n judgement_n whereby_o we_o do_v reason_n and_o discourse_n of_o our_o action_n intent_n and_o purpose_n have_v before_o our_o eye_n the_o rule_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n the_o minor_a be_v the_o examination_n of_o our_o action_n intent_n and_o purpose_n according_a to_o that_o rule_n the_o conclusion_n be_v our_o final_a determination_n concern_v ourselves_o or_o other_o what_o we_o or_o they_o have_v thus_o do_v intend_v and_o purpose_v be_v to_o deem_v or_o judge_v of_o ourselves_o or_o they_o so_o then_o in_o our_o conscience_n first_o we_o discourse_v than_o we_o examine_v and_o last_o of_o all_o we_o determine_v for_o example_n in_o david_n take_v urias_n his_o wife_n we_o may_v see_v what_o david_n conscience_n be_v 11._o 2._o sam._n 11._o first_o he_o have_v this_o general_a notion_n imprint_v in_o his_o mind_n and_o ground_v upon_o exodus_fw-la that_o adultery_n be_v damnation_n and_o if_o 2d_o exod._n 2d_o when_o he_o intend_v to_o take_v urias_n his_o wife_n he_o have_v examine_v his_o intent_n by_o the_o rule_n of_o exodus_fw-la he_o have_v find_v it_o to_o be_v adultery_n and_o three_o after_o due_a examination_n have_v find_v his_o intent_n to_o be_v adultery_n he_o can_v not_o but_o condemn_v himself_o in_o his_o own_o conscience_n that_o he_o be_v guilty_a of_o damnation_n according_a to_o this_o sense_n 1._o rom._n 1._o say_v saint_n paul_n they_o have_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o law_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n their_o conscience_n also_o bear_v witness_n and_o their_o thought_n accuse_v or_o excuse_v one_o a_o other_o albeit_o conscience_n be_v sometime_o take_v only_o for_o the_o intellectual_a power_n and_o faculty_n of_o our_o understanding_n &_o reasonable_a soul_n by_o which_o we_o be_v able_a thus_o to_o argue_v and_o discourse_v with_o ourselves_o so_o saint_n paul_n say_v we_o must_v obey_v magistrate_n for_o conscience_n 13._o rom._n 13._o sake_n that_o be_v because_o of_o our_o own_o reason_n knowledge_n and_o understanding_n which_o reveal_v so_o much_o light_n unto_o we_o god_n will_v eternal_o punish_v disobedience_n and_o therefore_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v safe_a for_o we_o to_o charge_n and_o burden_n our_o soul_n with_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n sometime_o for_o the_o minor_a alone_o which_o be_v the_o examination_n of_o our_o action_n and_o intent_n whether_o they_o be_v good_a or_o evil_n so_o the_o apostle_n say_v of_o himself_o nihil_fw-la mihi_fw-la conscius_fw-la sum_fw-la i_o know_v nothing_o of_o myself_o yet_o i_o be_o not_o thereby_o justify_v that_o be_v i_o know_v no_o heinous_a crime_n wherewith_o i_o shall_v be_v touch_v sometime_o 4._o 1._o cor._n 4._o for_o the_o conclusion_n alone_o so_o he_o say_v i_o have_v in_o all_o good_a conscience_n serve_v god_n until_o this_o day_n that_o be_v i_o do_v absolve_v myself_o from_o any_o 23._o act._n 23._o grievous_a crime_n that_o i_o have_v commit_v now_o the_o recusant_n argue_v in_o this_o manner_n no_o heretic_n nor_o schismatic_n be_v to_o be_v communicate_v withal_o but_o protestant_n be_v heretic_n and_o schismatic_n and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v communicate_v withal_o their_o mayor_n proposition_n be_v undoubted_o true_a because_o it_o be_v ground_v upon_o scripture_n titus_n the_o three_o reject_v he_o that_o be_v a_o heretic_n after_o two_o or_o three_o admonition_n and_o saint_n john_n in_o his_o second_o epistle_n bid_v he_o not_o god_n speed_v and_o rom._n 16._o mark_v they_o diligent_o which_o make_v division_n and_o avoid_v they_o the_o error_n therefore_o be_v in_o the_o minor_a or_o examination_n of_o this_o action_n of_o communicate_v with_o we_o according_a to_o that_o general_a rule_n that_o no_o society_n be_v to_o be_v have_v with_o heretic_n for_o whereas_o they_o say_v we_o be_v heretic_n it_o be_v not_o true_a neither_o be_v it_o marvel_v though_o our_o recusant_n have_v err_v concern_v we_o see_v that_o saint_n peter_n and_o the_o disciple_n have_v err_v concern_v the_o like_a when_o the_o sheet_n be_v 10._o act._n 10._o let_v down_o wherein_o be_v all_o manner_n of_o beast_n and_o saint_n peter_n be_v bid_v to_o arise_v kill_v and_o eat_v he_o answer_v not_o so_o lord_n for_o i_o never_o eat_v any_o meat_n that_o be_v unclean_a and_o therefore_o he_o argue_v in_o this_o manner_n no_o unclean_a meat_n be_v to_o be_v eat_v but_o these_o meat_n be_v unclean_a therefore_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v eat_v the_o
