feed_v my_o sheep_n and_o so_o his_o sanctify_a conscience_n make_v application_n of_o it_o on_o all_o particular_a occasion_n therefore_o when_o a_o multitude_n be_v gather_v together_o wonder_v at_o the_o miraculous_a gift_n of_o tongue_n bestow_v on_o the_o disciple_n his_o conscience_n tell_v he_o now_o thou_o must_v practice_v what_o thy_o master_n have_v command_v and_o so_o at_o that_o time_n he_o gather_v some_o three_o thousand_o lose_v sheep_n into_o the_o fold_n of_o christ._n in_o the_o second_o place_n conscience_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o will_n stir_v up_o the_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o practice_v this_o particular_a duty_n which_o be_v thus_o find_v agreeable_a to_o the_o general_a rule_n of_o duty_n and_o goodness_n now_o in_o that_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o practise_v this_o come_v from_o that_o disorder_n which_o sin_n have_v make_v in_o the_o soul_n and_o that_o preposterous_a confusion_n of_o the_o affection_n lead_v conscience_n in_o a_o slavish_a captivity_n under_o the_o power_n of_o lust_n so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o be_v for_o evil_n not_o yet_o do_v the_o world_n promise_v a_o fair_a reward_n many_o time_n if_o man_n will_v use_v foul_a mean_n to_o obtain_v it_o if_o riches_n begin_v to_o trade_n with_o the_o world_n about_o the_o matter_n covetousness_n like_a judas_n say_v to_o the_o world_n what_o will_v thou_o give_v i_o and_o i_o will_v betray_v my_o master_n honour_n profane_v his_o day_n defraud_v my_o neighbour_n oppress_v my_o poor_a brother_n &_o c_o but_o now_o conscience_n come_v in_o and_o labour_v to_o ma●_n the_o bargain_n and_o have_v lay_v up_o this_o general_a rule_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o profit_v a_o man_n to_o gain_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o lose_v his_o own_o soul_n it_o apply_v this_o to_o the_o case_n in_o hand_n therefore_o it_o will_v be_v a_o most_o miserable_a bargain_n for_o i_o to_o gain_v this_o which_o be_v now_o propose_v with_o the_o hazard_n of_o my_o soul._n this_o do_v conscience_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o understanding_n and_o then_o call_v up_o the_o power_n of_o the_o will_v to_o help_v which_o withdraw_v from_o the_o thing_n as_o unlawful_a and_o dangerous_a and_o rise_v against_o it_o and_o dislike_v it_o with_o reluctancy_n so_o joseph_n have_v lay_v up_o this_o in_o his_o heart_n that_o adultery_n must_v not_o be_v commit_v no_o not_o in_o

and_o by_o the_o force_n of_o a_o sanctify_a conscience_n bid_v defiance_n to_o her_o temptation_n how_o shall_v i_o do_v this_o great_a wickedness_n and_o so_o sin_n against_o god_n so_o david_n

by_o the_o special_a appointment_n of_o the_o king_n of_o king_n yet_o david_n will_v not_o touch_v he_o nor_o suffer_v abishai_n to_o fall_v upon_o he_o who_o be_v ready_a to_o have_v slay_v he_o have_v david_n give_v way_n to_o it_o for_o against_o all_o these_o provocation_n conscience_n cry_v out_o god_n forbid_v that_o i_o shall_v lay_v my_o hand_n upon_o the_o lord_n anoint_v and_o so_o

of_o their_o master_n david_n but_o david_n by_o the_o force_n of_o a_o upright_a conscience_n break_v through_o they_o all_o and_o put_v they_o aside_o not_o suffer_v they_o to_o accomplish_v their_o

unreasonable_o to_o david_n and_o find_v his_o conscience_n not_o well_o awaken_v and_o so_o while_o conscience_n slumber_v and_o mind_v not_o what_o be_v in_o hand_n passion_n condemn_v nabal_n and_o all_o his_o family_n to_o present_a death_n and_o while_o anger_n make_v a_o hasty_a march_n for_o blood_n and_o whet_v itself_o as_o it_o go_v abigail_n meet_v it_o upon_o the_o way_n and_o with_o a_o well-tempered_a voice_n not_o so_o loud_a and_o violent_a as_o to_o enrage_v fury_n more_o than_o already_o it_o be_v yet_o loud_o enough_o to_o awake_a conscience_n she_o show_v he_o his_o

from_o wallow_v in_o innocent_a blood_n or_o encroach_a on_o god_n office_n by_o self-revenge_n but_o with_o wicked_a man_n conscience_n many_o time_n prevail_v not_o in_o such_o case_n she_o can_v be_v hear_v or_o be_v hear_v be_v not_o regard_v satan_n the_o flesh_n the_o world_n stop_v her_o mouth_n now_o beside_o all_o this_o conscience_n have_v its_o employment_n also_o about_o the_o

to_o her_o petition_n he_o will_v spare_v nabals_n family_n conscience_n shall_v never_o accuse_v he_o for_o it_o but_o shall_v hold_v he_o guiltless_a so_o you_o see_v psal._n 7._o when_o he_o be_v
