till_o it_o have_v bring_v we_o down_o to_o the_o desperation_n of_o hell_n thus_o we_o have_v pass_v the_o general_n of_o this_o reason_n the_o in_o reason_v there_o be_v first_o the_o to_o descend_v now_o unto_o the_o particular_n we_o shall_v first_o meet_v with_o the_o proposition_n which_o be_v the_o first_o part_n of_o reason_v wherein_o we_o do_v propound_v and_o bear_v witness_n unto_o that_o truth_n which_o be_v make_v know_v unto_o us._n proposition_n 1_o proposition_n whence_o i_o offer_v this_o point_n to_o be_v consider_v that_o in_o ourselves_o there_o be_v a_o witness_n which_o will_v propound_v the_o truth_n according_a to_o knowledge_n from_o hence_o be_v it_o that_o paul_n join_v these_o two_o together_o to_o wit_n the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n 2.11_o 1._o cor._n 2.11_o no_o man_n know_v what_o be_v in_o man_n save_o god_n and_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v the_o conscience_n from_o this_o witness_v power_n

42.21_o gen._n 42.21_o in_o that_o we_o see_v the_o anguish_n of_o his_o soul_n when_o he_o beseech_v we_o and_o we_o will_v not_o hear_v he_o therefore_o be_v this_o trouble_n come_v upon_o us._n yea_o and_o god_n himself_o imply_v this_o power_n unto_o kain_n 4._o gen._n 4._o say_v sin_n lie_v at_o the_o door_n sin_n lie_v at_o the_o door_n what_o be_v that_o we_o ordinary_o look_v unto_o one_o of_o these_o three_o sense_n either_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n be_v at_o hand_n for_o among_o the_o hebrew_n sin_n be_v take_v for_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n as_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o be_v sin_n for_o we_o 5.21_o 2_o cor._n 5.21_o or_o else_o thy_o sin_n be_v not_o secret_a for_o thou_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o able_a to_o conceal_v it_o than_o that_o which_o do_v lie_v at_o the_o door_n in_o every_o one_o view_n or_o else_o the_o conscience_n of_o thy_o sin_n shall_v forthwith_o fly_v upon_o thou_o because_o the_o witnessing_n and_o twinge_n of_o the_o conscience_n do_v inevitable_o follow_v sin_n but_o if_o we_o take_v all_o these_o three_o together_o they_o make_v one_o entire_a sense_n as_o if_o god_n shall_v say_v kain_n thou_o can_v not_o so_o hide_v thy_o sin_n from_o i_o but_o that_o it_o will_v inward_o fret_v and_o gnaw_v upon_o thy_o conscience_n and_o outward_o draw_v speedy_a vengeance_n but_o more_o full_o to_o open_v this_o witness_v power_n of_o conscience_n i_o will_v consider_v four_o point_n first_o whether_o we_o in_o our_o course_n can_v lie_v hide_v from_o our_o conscience_n i_o answer_v for_o a_o time_n we_o may_v both_o through_o the_o weakness_n of_o nature_n when_o the_o natural_a conscience_n do_v not_o take_v notice_n of_o sin_n 15._o act_n 15._o as_o when_o the_o gentile_n account_v fornication_n a_o thing_n indifferent_a when_o the_o people_n of_o calicute_n and_o narsinga_n do_v without_o regret_n worship_v the_o devil_n when_o we_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o our_o father_n whether_o good_a or_o bad_a without_o check_n and_o the_o like_a as_o also_o by_o the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n when_o he_o do_v give_v we_o over_o for_o our_o sin_n to_o hardness_n of_o heart_n and_o to_o a_o cauterised_a conscience_n as_o the_o gentile_n 1._o rom._n 1._o who_o because_o they_o do_v not_o glorify_v god_n with_o their_o natural_a knowledge_n be_v give_v over_o to_o unnatural_a sin_n yet_o we_o shall_v not_o always_o sleep_v thus_o secure_o it_o will_v look_v upon_o we_o with_o a_o witness_n and_o speak_v so_o loud_o in_o our_o ear_n that_o we_o shall_v see_v a_o map_n of_o our_o misery_n as_o theodoricus_n do_v the_o face_n of_o symachus_fw-la who_o he_o have_v murder_v in_o a_o fish-head_n on_o his_o table_n and_o shall_v make_v we_o leave_v behind_o we_o such_o a_o desperate_a will_n when_o we_o die_v as_o english_z hubertus_n do_v who_o have_v be_v a_o covetous_a oppressor_n i_o yield_v my_o good_n to_o the_o king_n my_o body_n to_o the_o grave_n my_o soul_n to_o the_o devil_n the_o second_o point_n be_v this_o to_o consider_v see_v we_o can_v lie_v hide_v from_o our_o conscience_n what_o conscience_n do_v witness_v i_o answer_v it_o witness_v both_o our_o sin_n and_o our_o righteousness_n as_o for_o our_o sin_n this_o be_v that_o ancient_a officer_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o do_v reprove_v we_o and_o set_v our_o sin_n in_o order_n before_o us._n if_o we_o sin_v in_o our_o thought_n 50.21_o psal_n 50.21_o conscience_n take_v notice_n of_o it_o for_o as_o we_o will_v say_v for_o our_o own_o clear_n in_o my_o conscience_n i_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o think_v it_o so_o paul_n say_v of_o the_o gentile_n their_o thought_n accuse_v or_o excuse_v they_o 2._o rom._n 2._o yea_o and_o those_o that_o be_v come_v from_o the_o knowledge_n of_o conscience_n to_o the_o feel_n of_o it_o can_v with_o grief_n tell_v that_o conscience_n do_v thus_o if_o we_o sin_v in_o our_o will_n and_o affection_n conscience_n take_v notice_n of_o it_o as_o paul_n say_v 9.1_o rom._n 9.1_o my_o conscience_n bear_v i_o witness_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o i_o have_v great_a heaviness_n for_o you_o so_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o his_o will_n and_o affection_n have_v not_o be_v carry_v the_o right_a way_n his_o conscience_n will_v have_v be_v upon_o the_o back_n of_o he_o for_o it_o as_o we_o see_v in_o his_o reluctation_n between_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o spirit_n 7.15_o rom._n 7.15_o i_o allow_v not_o that_o which_o i_o do_v yea_o what_o i_o hate_v that_o i_o do_v if_o we_o sin_v in_o our_o word_n conscience_n present_o hear_v therefore_o solomon_n observe_v it_o say_v take_v no_o heed_n to_o all_o word_n for_o oftentimes_o thy_o own_o heart_n know_v that_o thou_o have_v also_o curse_v other_o if_o we_o sin_v in_o our_o action_n conscience_n will_v not_o overpasse_v they_o it_o tell_v judas_n that_o he_o have_v sin_v in_o betray_v innocent_a blood_n and_o make_v infinite_a complaint_n and_o concession_n in_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n at_o some_o time_n or_o other_o se●ondly_o as_o for_o o●r_a righteousness_n conscience_n do_v witness_v our_o sonship_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v 8.16_o rom._n 8.16_o the_o spirit_n of_o go●_n bear_v witness_n with_o our_o spirit_n that_o we_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n as_o also_o our_o new_a obedience_n and_o holiness_n for_o this_o w●_n see_v plain_a in_o the_o example_n of_o paul_n 23.1_o heb._n 13.18_o 2_o cor._n 1.12_o act._n 23.1_o who_o conscience_n tell_v hi●_n that_o he_o be_v willing_a in_o all_o thing_n to_o live_v honest_o that_o in_o simplicity_n and_o godly_a pureness_n he_o have_v his_o conversation_n in_o the_o world_n and_o that_o in_o all_o good_a conscience_n he_o serve_v god_n in_o the_o three_o place_n if_o it_o be_v demand_v how_o the_o conscience_n do_v witness_v i_o answer_v that_o you_o that_o feel_v it_o know_v and_o from_o my_o feel_n i_o express_v it_o thus_o the_o understanding_n be_v the_o spy_n to_o inform_v from_o that_o light_n which_o it_o do_v receive_v either_o from_o nature_n or_o from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o memory_n be_v the_o recorder_n of_o the_o court_n within_o for_o all_o the_o passage_n of_o man_n life_n we_o can_v in_o this_o kind_n learn_v the_o art_n of_o forgetfulness_n for_o though_o we_o may_v seem_v to_o forget_v it_o for_o a_o time_n as_o the_o son_n of_o jacob_n do_v the_o sell_v of_o joseph_n yet_o in_o day_n of_o affliction_n hour_n of_o death_n and_o day_n of_o judgement_n our_o reckon_n will_v be_v bleed_v new_a and_o then_o this_o divine_a power_n do_v take_v a_o view_n of_o our_o whole_a life_n and_o from_o that_o office_n which_o god_n have_v give_v it_o witness_v true_o and_o bring_v to_o pass_v all_o our_o do_n as_o in_o the_o sight_n and_o presence_n of_o god_n if_o now_o in_o the_o four_o place_n you_o will_v ask_v i_o why_o the_o conscience_n do_v in_o these_o reason_n as_o a_o witness_n propound_v the_o truth_n i_o answer_v in_o two_o respect_n first_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n that_o god_n may_v be_v manifest_v to_o be_v a_o just_a god_n in_o his_o proceed_n there_o a●e_v many_o secret_a sin_n which_o no_o man_n in_o the_o world_n can_v witness_v for_o which_o if_o god_n shall_v proceed_v against_o we_o he_o may_v seem_v unjust_a to_o the_o end_n therefore_o that_o god_n may_v be_v clear_v in_o the_o day_n of_o vengeance_n he_o have_v set_v a_o witness_n within_o ourselves_o which_o will_v not_o lie_v second_o in_o respect_n of_o ourselves_o because_o it_o may_v be_v of_o excellent_a use_n through_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o our_o
ignorance_n be_v inevitable_a as_o also_o because_o they_o practise_v according_a to_o that_o christian_a knowledge_n which_o then_o be_v attainable_a and_o sin_v not_o wilful_o as_o we_o do_v against_o that_o glorious_a light_n which_o god_n do_v now_o offer_v in_o the_o ministry_n of_o his_o most_o holy_a word_n three_o consider_v that_o our_o forefather_n act_n be_v no_o sufficient_a warrant_n for_o we_o we_o notwithstanding_o our_o reverence_n unto_o they_o dare_v not_o swear_v to_o their_o say_n and_o admit_v of_o a_o blind_a imitation_n of_o their_o action_n without_o trial_n but_o with_o a_o holy_a anger_n against_o that_o curse_a apostasy_n which_o mislead_v our_o dear_a predecessor_n and_o bring_v they_o to_o some_o act_n of_o superstition_n we_o bring_v they_o to_o the_o touchstone_n of_o god_n word_n and_o wherein_o he_o will_v have_v we_o leave_v they_o we_o follow_v god_n and_o humble_o thank_v he_o for_o that_o revelation_n wherein_o he_o will_v give_v we_o leave_v to_o go_v with_o they_o we_o cheerful_o follow_v they_o blessing_n the_o same_o god_n who_o make_v they_o such_o faithful_a guide_n thus_o i_o fear_v i_o have_v be_v too_o long_o in_o strive_v
