hardly know what to make of it it is so divine But I decline the Casuists and School-men who speake most herein to mens heads of purpose to speak unto your Consciences Consciences I say Sure I am that the Apostle distinguisheth it both from the Mind and from the Will Tit. 1.15 1 Tim. 1.5 as a different and distinct thing and that for good Reasons 1. Because the mind dealeth most in generals and universals but Conscience medleth all in a mans own particular proprieties of thoughts words and deeds 2. Because Conscience is so far from being one of both or both in one that it sitteth in the soul as a controler over them both in their Acts of thoughts and desires 3. Because there is secret Jealousie and open Hostility between them the other powers of the soul taking Conscience to be but a Spie do what they can to sculk evade and hide from it to delude and deceive it to oppose or depose it Conscience on the other side striveth to keep its ground and to hold its own Self-reasonings conferences mutual Apologies and exceptions Rom. 2. till it be blinded or bribed proceeding in its office in despite of all opposition cites all the powers of nature sitteth upon them examineth witnesseth and judgeth even to execution So that the proper seat of Conscience is the whole Soul there placed next under God over all men Their ground seemeth too weak and their room too narrow that would confine Conscience to any part one or other of the soul It is in the soul of man Anima est indivisa tota in tota not as a part of a part for it is indivisible but as whole in the whole and in every part Not in the understanding alone or will alone or reason alone nor in memory or affections alone but it hath place office and acts in all and every part of the soul as the soul hath in every part of the body exercising seeing in the eye hearing in the ears c. In the understanding it sitteth as Judge In the Reason as Accuser In the Memory as Witness and Register In the Will and Affections as Gaoler and Executioner Accusing or Excusing Absolving or Condemning Comforting or tormenting And yet one of our Countrey-men hath appropriated unto each part of the soul a distinct Court or Office To the Sensitive part The Court of Common-Pleas To the Intellectual part The Court of Kings-Bench To the spiritual part The Court of Chancelry In this Court all causes are handled but still with special reference to God Here sits the Conscience as Lord-Chanceller and Synterests as Master of the Roles To this Court all the powers of man owe and pay homage what ever it be whether Act or Faculty whether of the practical understanding or judgement it is placed in the soul of most absolute power next under God over all in man And thus for the proper place and seat of it 5. The Subject of it 5. Quibus sit Whose and with whom it is which generally considered is a general thing common to Angels Divels and Men. To Angels as appears by the Angel's speech to John when he would have worshipped him See thou do it not The Angel had something within him that told him he was John's Fellow-Servant Rev. 19.10 and therefore not to assume divine Worship to himself and that was His Conscience To Divels by the Divels speech to our Saviour dispossessing them Art thou come to torment us before the time Mat. 8.29 even they had something within them that told them They had a time of greater torment to come and that was their Consciences To Men more properly to all Men generally There is in every man a Conscience such as it is good or bad A Conscience in the very Heathens bearing them witnesse Rom. 2.15 accusing or excusing A Conscience in Hypocrites John 8.9 Scribes and Pharisees being convicted in their Consciences A Conscience in good Men 2 Cor. 1.12 as Paul had The testimony of his own Conscience A Conscience in bad Men Tit. 1.15 Their Minds and Conscience being defiled Thus of the subject of it in general a common thing 6. 6. Quare sit The Grounds and Reasons of it God hath appointed this standing power in the soul of man for two special Reasons above many 1. For the honour of his Justice To shew how righteous a Judge the Lord is Psal 51.4 That he might be justified when he speaketh and cleared when he judgeth He commanded Earthly Judges not to judge without witnesse and himself will not though he might He does nothing without witnesse Acts 25.16 Mat. 22.12 but brings the Accusers face to face as Festus told Agrippa which much convinceth silenceth and confoundeth To be judged out of its own mouth like the wicked servant Job 15.6 Luke 19.22 and as Eliphaz told Job Therefore God for the honour of his righteousness in all his judicial proceedings hath not left himself without witnesse in any soul Act. 14.17 but placed a Conscience in every brest to bring in evidence Pro or Con before God so just cleare and righteous a Judge is the Lord For the honour of his Mercy to shew how good and how gracious a Father our God is in matching us with so neer a Friend so true a Counsellor in not leaving mans wonderful forgetfulnesse of God and himself and his own soul without a secret Monitor and Remembrancer a word and a voice behind him upon all occasions In all his omissions and commissions he cannot omit a duty Isa 30.21 or commit a sin but his Ear shall hear a word behind him when his Eye doth not see his Teacher Job 4.16 He shall hear a voice in silence his Conscience shall tell him of it remembring our mindlesness and spurring up our dulnesse against sinful omissions and Hedging up our way with thorns putting some thorny threat or other in every path of sin Hos 2.6 against sinful commissions making us say to Conscience as David did to Abigail 1 Sam. 25.32 33. Blessed be thou of the Lord that thou hast met me this day and blessed be thy advice c. And blessed be the Lord God who sent thee For believe it 't is not the severest and supreamest power of Magistrates and their highest Courts of Justice and Judgement-seats 't is not Justices Judges Kings Parliaments 't is not all the saddest and bloodiest instruments of execution of death and vengeance Swords Guns Blocks Halters nor any nor all of these that can keep men in order and the world in awe were it not for this mighty thing of God Rom. 13.5 subject for Conscience sake called Conscience without which the whole world would tumble into disorder and confusion become a Chaos again and lose the form of a world Conscience I say And thus for the doctrinal part in the six points of Conscience in general Now because
