of_o a_o good_a conscience_n that_o be_v the_o very_a cutthroat_n of_o man_n soul_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v keep_v a_o good_a conscience_n take_v heed_n of_o sin_n which_o wound_v a_o

and_o therefore_o we_o see_v let_v a_o man_n come_v into_o his_o house_n at_o midnight_n he_o can_v see_v nothing_o amiss_o and_o out_o of_o order_n but_o let_v a_o man_n come_v in_o at_o noon_n

he_o that_o suffer_v these_o desire_n to_o have_v place_n in_o his_o heart_n he_o can_v possible_o keep_v a_o good_a conscience_n second_o the_o mean_n to_o preserve_v and_o to_o keep_v a_o good_a

10._o rom._n 10._o now_o to_o preserve_v faith_n we_o must_v often_o hear_v and_o read_v the_o word_n of_o god_n repent_v of_o our_o sin_n acknowledge_v and_o confess_v they_o and_o be_v humble_v for_o they_o and_o walk_v in_o the_o duty_n of_o faith_n and_o repentance_n and_o in_o so_o do_v we_o shall_v find_v more_o and_o more_o the_o comfort_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n we_o do_v nothing_o to_o break_v off_o the_o feel_n of_o god_n love_n or_o to_o wound_v our_o conscience_n second_o we_o must_v endeavour_v in_o all_o thing_n to_o obey_v god_n will_n and_o bear_v a_o constant_a purpose_n not_o to_o sin_v in_o any_o thing_n for_o a_o purpose_n to_o live_v in_o sin_n and_o conscience_n can_v stand_v together_o so_o that_o where_o there_o be_v a_o purpose_n to_o live_v in_o sin_n there_o be_v neither_o faith_n nor_o a_o good_a conscience_n three_o we_o must_v walk_v with_o god_n as_o henoch_n do_v so_o to_o order_v our_o life_n as_o always_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o this_o will_v make_v we_o keep_v a_o good_a conscience_n and_o the_o want_n of_o this_o make_v man_n bold_a to_o sin_n because_o they_o consider_v

and_o as_o they_o never_o have_v part_n in_o the_o first_o resurrection_n so_o the_o second_o resurrection_n be_v only_o to_o judgement_n to_o death_n and_o to_o damnation_n and_o therefore_o if_o
