and_o of_o this_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o four_o ground_n of_o suspicion_n first_o because_o it_o stand_v upon_o improbable_a interpretation_n such_o as_o can_v neither_o arise_v proper_o nor_o

come_v now_o unto_o it_o as_o a_o judge_n conclude_v conclusion_n conclusion_n without_o all_o which_o three_o there_o can_v be_v no_o perfect_a reason_n whence_o i_o offer_v this_o point_n to_o consider_v that_o we_o have_v also_o in_o ourselves_o under_o god_n our_o judge_n for_o hence_o be_v it_o that_o we_o be_v say_v to_o have_v reason_v because_o as_o a_o judge_n we_o both_o open_a the_o law_n that_o the_o witness_n may_v propound_v fit_a truth_n and_o as_o a_o judge_n we_o determine_v according_o in_o the_o conclusion_n as_o it_o be_v with_o prince_n and_o king_n who_o be_v the_o high_a judge_n of_o their_o kingdom_n they_o have_v judge_n under_o they_o by_o deputation_n to_o who_o they_o commit_v their_o judgement_n of_o god_n and_o allot_v their_o several_a circuit_n so_o though_o god_n be_v the_o high_a judge_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n over_o the_o heart_n and_o conscience_n of_o all_o man_n yet_o do_v he_o depute_v these_o inferior_a judge_n in_o the_o

of_o a_o judge_n and_o how_o good_a cause_n we_o have_v to_o account_v our_o conscience_n our_o judge_n will_v appear_v if_o we_o consider_v these_o three_o point_n first_o that_o sentence_n which_o be_v give_v by_o conscience_n be_v confirm_v by_o god_n we_o see_v that_o so_o soon_o as_o adam_n have_v sin_v though_o no_o man_n pursue_v he_o no_o angel_n reprove_v he_o and_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v he_o find_v himself_o condemn_v by_o the_o inward_a judge_n and_o when_o god_n come_v he_o ratify_v the_o same_o sentence_n but_o we_o can_v think_v that_o god_n will_v confirm_v the_o sentence_n of_o a_o rebel_n who_o have_v set_v himself_o in_o god_n throne_n to_o judge_v without_o god_n second_o such_o be_v the_o majesty_n and_o authority_n of_o conscience_n that_o it_o stand_v against_o all_o the_o world_n look_v as_o a_o good_a judge_n though_o all_o the_o world_n do_v plead_v against_o the_o truth_n yet_o he_o be_v for_o it_o and_o will_v not_o revoke_v his_o judgement_n so_o be_v it_o with_o conscience_n therefore_o do_v the_o apostle_n set_v the_o sentence_n of_o conscience_n against_o the_o calumny_n of_o all_o man_n say_v 4_o 1_o câ—â—â—â—_n 4_o i_o

and_o yield_v to_o it_o honourable_a mean_n of_o maintenance_n give_v tribute_n to_o who_o tribute_n belong_v shall_v we_o have_v a_o governor_n and_o will_v we_o starve_v he_o for_o want_n of_o maintenance_n god_n forbid_v deck_n therefore_o the_o table_n of_o thy_o conscience_n rich_o with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n let_v thy_o conscience_n use_v it_o as_o in_o the_o sight_n and_o presence_n of_o god_n attend_v with_o all_o the_o part_n and_o power_n of_o thy_o body_n and_o soul_n in_o state_n upon_o this_o honourable_a governor_n and_o if_o thou_o can_v not_o give_v it_o entertainment_n answerable_a to_o its_o place_n weep_v to_o god_n for_o more_o grace_n that_o as_o one_o say_v to_o saint_n augustine_n weep_a mother_n filius_fw-la non_fw-la potest_fw-la perire_fw-la tantarum_fw-la lachrymarum_fw-la filius_fw-la a_o son_n for_o who_o so_o many_o tear_n be_v shed_v can_v perish_v so_o thy_o conscience_n for_o which_o thou_o do_v weep_v to_o god_n may_v not_o be_v corrupt_v or_o want_v necessary_a mean_n of_o maintenance_n second_o conscience_n as_o a_o judge_n must_v do_v its_o office_n to_o and_o for_o we_o both_o in_o ourselves_o and_o to_o god_n for_o look_v as_o a_o judge_n do_v a_o double_a duty_n a_o duty_n of_o justice_n in_o the_o country_n and_o a_o duty_n of_o account_n in_o the_o court_n so_o likewise_o have_v the_o conscience_n a_o double_a duty_n to_o perform_v in_o the_o court_n within_o we_o must_v expect_v a_o fourfold_a action_n of_o a_o judge_n from_o it_o the_o first_o be_v remurmuration_n as_o a_o judge_n do_v or_o shall_v fret_v and_o grudge_v at_o every_o evil_a cause_n that_o come_v before_o he_o and_o can_v abide_v that_o any_o gallio_n shall_v either_o plead_v the_o excuse_n or_o defence_n of_o it_o so_o conscience_n must_v work_v a_o inward_a repine_n when_o any_o of_o the_o advocate_n of_o sin_n do_v blanch_v the_o least_o wickedness_n the_o least_o sin_n be_v hellish_a in_o its_o sight_n the_o great_a be_v ten_o time_n damnable_a the_o second_o be_v instigation_n look_v as_o a_o judge_n do_v or_o shall_v provoke_v to_o every_o good_a occasion_n for_o the_o repress_v of_o vice_n and_o encouragement_n of_o virtue_n so_o conscience_n must_v goad_v we_o up_o and_o stir_v we_o forward_o to_o take_v every_o good_a opportunity_n to_o do_v good_a unto_o our_o body_n and_o soul_n to_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n the_o jew_n who_o be_v as_o the_o swift_a dromedary_n be_v not_o more_o eager_a to_o commit_v wickedness_n than_o conscience_n must_v be_v to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v good_a in_o god_n sight_n the_o three_o be_v condemnation_n even_o as_o a_o judge_n do_v condemn_v the_o guilty_a and_o pronounce_v definitive_a sentence_n against_o he_o whatsoever_o he_o be_v whether_o friend_n or_o foe_n rich_a or_o poor_a because_o he_o hear_v cause_n speak_v and_o not_o person_n so_o deal_v conscience_n yea_o even_o against_o the_o owner_n of_o it_o if_o he_o do_v offend_v therefore_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o those_o who_o be_v selfe-condemned_n or_o look_v as_o if_o a_o soldier_n demean_v himself_o not_o well_o in_o battle_n the_o judge_n marshal_n may_v cause_v his_o escocheon_n to_o be_v pierce_v even_o so_o conscience_n must_v pierce_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o offender_n by_o a_o full_a pronounce_v of_o the_o judgement_n of_o its_o god_n the_o four_o be_v absolution_n as_o a_o judge_n do_v absolve_v the_o guiltless_a and_o when_o his_o innocence_n do_v once_o appear_v do_v make_v no_o delay_n or_o demur_n or_o the_o like_a to_o keep_v he_o from_o the_o comfort_n of_o his_o cause_n so_o when_o conscience_n find_v innocence_n it_o cry_v out_o well_o do_v good_a and_o faithful_a servant_n enter_v into_o thy_o master_n joy_n know_v thy_o office_n conscience_n and_o as_o thou_o will_v answer_v it_o to_o he_o from_o who_o thou_o have_v thy_o most_o immediate_a deputation_n see_v thou_o deal_v righteous-iudge-like_a in_o all_o these_o particular_n second_o there_o be_v a_o duty_n of_o account_n that_o the_o conscience_n owe_v unto_o god_n also_o even_o as_o a_o judge_n do_v give_v a_o account_n unto_o his_o sovereign_n of_o the_o state_n of_o his_o country_n live_v of_o his_o people_n and_o justice_n of_o his_o inferior_a magistrate_n and_o the_o like_a so_o must_v our_o conscience_n give_v a_o account_n to_o god_n what_o state_n our_o soul_n be_v in_o and_o how_o our_o will_n and_o affection_n do_v rule_v and_o obey_v within_o us._n see_v therefore_o o_o conscience_n that_o thou_o do_v it_o faithful_o go_v to_o the_o court_n of_o heaven_n after_o every_o day_n assize_n tell_v god_n how_o it_o stand_v with_o thou_o in_o the_o case_n of_o life_n and_o death_n helpe_n o_o king_n i_o have_v find_v rebellion_n in_o thy_o kingdom_n without_o thy_o pardon_n all_o will_v perish_v with_o thy_o pardon_n without_o thy_o wisdom_n to_o plant_v religion_n to_o order_v thy_o subject_n and_o to_o prevent_v future_a mutiny_n all_o will_v come_v to_o naught_o thus_o deal_v faithful_o with_o thy_o soul_n and_o as_o good_a judge_n will_v not_o trust_v particular_a justice_n with_o the_o government_n of_o the_o country_n lest_o they_o shall_v make_v their_o own_o gain_n and_o aim_v at_o their_o own_o private_a end_n more_o than_o at_o the_o public_a good_a but_o will_v diligent_o search_v into_o their_o proceed_n that_o so_o their_o account_n may_v be_v the_o more_o current_a so_o the_o good_a conscience_n will_v not_o commit_v the_o government_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o the_o will_n and_o affection_n but_o will_v every_o day_n search_v into_o their_o course_n that_o so_o they_o may_v give_v the_o more_o through_o and_o honest_a account_n unto_o our_o god_n and_o king_n thus_o have_v view_v the_o power_n of_o practical_a conscience_n in_o these_o reason_a thought_n which_o be_v in_o we_o conscience_n 2_o the_o abuse_n of_o the_o power_n of_o conscience_n we_o come_v to_o the_o abuse_n of_o this_o power_n in_o judge_v evil_o and_o partial_o even_o against_o conviction_n whence_o we_o may_v note_v that_o it_o be_v no_o news_n that_o there_o be_v disorder_n and_o corruption_n in_o the_o judgement_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n and_o conscience_n you_o know_v that_o paul_n find_v out_o this_o wickedness_n of_o old_a to_o withhold_v the_o truth_n in_o unrighteousness_n 1.18_o rom._n 1.18_o even_o so_o be_v it_o still_o the_o

be_v persuade_v and_o so_o reason_n like_o a_o corrupt_a judge_n give_v the_o sentence_n that_o truth_n must_v into_o prison_n and_o rebellion_n and_o wickedness_n flourish_v if_o now_o you_o will_v
