we_o know_v we_o do_v so_o 9.1_o rom._n 9.1_o and_o hence_o the_o conscience_n be_v call_v a_o register_n or_o notary_n the_o second_o office_n of_o conscience_n be_v to_o determine_v of_o the_o thought_n word_n &_o deed_n of_o man_n which_o thing_n as_o they_o be_v diverse_a in_o regard_n of_o time_n so_o be_v the_o action_n of_o conscience_n diverse_a concern_v they_o the_o action_n to_o insist_v only_o of_o they_o be_v either_o past_a or_o to_o come_v of_o action_n past_a conscience_n determine_v two_o way_n according_a to_o double_a consideration_n or_o question_n of_o such_o action_n as_o first_o whether_o they_o be_v do_v or_o not_o do_v second_o whether_o they_o be_v well_o or_o evil_o do_v for_o the_o first_o question_n whether_o a_o action_n be_v do_v or_o no_o conscience_n within_o most_o certain_o certifi_v as_o in_o cain_n when_o his_o tongue_n say_v i_o know_v not_o where_o my_o brother_n be_v his_o conscience_n say_v thou_o know_v wherere_fw-la he_o be_v for_o thou_o have_v kill_v he_o so_o in_o david_n when_o he_o be_v accuse_v as_o a_o traitor_n against_o saul_n his_o conscience_n say_v that_o he_o be_v no_o traitor_n nor_o have_v conspire_v against_o he_o so_o in_o job_n when_o his_o friend_n say_v he_o be_v a_o hypocrite_n his_o conscience_n witness_v within_o he_o before_o god_n that_o he_o be_v none_o and_o hence_o be_v conscience_n call_v a_o witness_n yea_o a_o thousand_o witness_n for_o the_o second_o question_n whether_o a_o thing_n be_v well_o or_o ill_o do_v conscience_n with_o the_o help_n of_o certain_a principle_n in_o the_o mind_n judge_v in_o evil_a thing_n as_o a_o witness_n accuse_v and_o as_o a_o judge_n condemn_v in_o thing_n well_o do_v as_o a_o witness_n excuse_v and_o as_o a_o judge_n acquit_v and_o both_o these_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o practical_a reason_v as_o paul_n show_v 2.15_o rom._n 2.15_o of_o evil_a thing_n thus_o in_o the_o example_n of_o cain_n he_o that_o kill_v his_o brother_n sin_v grievous_o say_v the_o principle_n in_o the_o mind_n but_o thou_o cain_n have_v kill_v thy_o brother_n say_v conscience_n as_o a_o witness_n by_o the_o help_n of_o memory_n therefore_o thou_o have_v sin_v grievous_o say_v conscience_n a_o accuser_n again_o murderer_n must_v be_v damn_v say_v the_o principle_n of_o the_o mind_n by_o the_o law_n but_o thou_o cain_n be_v a_o murderer_n say_v conscience_n as_o a_o accuser_n therefore_o thou_o shall_v be_v damn_v say_v conscience_n as_o a_o judge_n condemn_v and_o from_o these_o action_n of_o conscience_n come_v more_o or_o less_o fear_n grief_n sadness_n desperation_n &_o other_o fearful_a consequent_n of_o good_a thing_n thus_o in_o the_o example_n of_o manasses_n or_o mary_n magdalen_n he_o that_o sorrow_v true_o for_o sin_n &_o leave_v it_o and_o follow_v righteousness_n repent_v say_v the_o principle_n or_o rule_n in_o the_o mind_n but_o thou_o m._n or_o m._n m._n do_v so_o say_v conscience_n as_o a_o witness_n therefore_o thou_o repente_v say_v conscience_n excuse_v again_o he_o that_o repent_v shall_v be_v save_v say_v the_o rule_n but_o thou_o m._n or_o m._n m._n repente_v say_v conscience_n excuse_v therefore_o the_o shall_v be_v save_v say_v conscience_n acquit_v and_o hence_o come_v peace_n of_o conscience_n joy_n boldness_n to_o come_v into_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n etc._n etc._n the_o action_n to_o come_v of_o which_o conscience_n determine_v be_v either_o good_a or_o have_v the_o conscience_n in_o regard_n of_o her_o judgement_n of_o good_a action_n may_v be_v call_v aspur_v or_o provoke_v conscience_n as_o thus_o if_o the_o question_n be_v concern_v keep_v of_o the_o sabaoth_n the_o commandment_n of_o god_n must_v be_v keep_v say_v the_o rule_n but_o to_o keep_v the_o sabaoth_n be_v

also_o best_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o reprobate_n and_o take_v away_o all_o reason_n from_o they_o as_o be_v say_v when_o they_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v matter_n in_o they_o 〈◊〉_d reprobation_n by_o the_o fall_v of_o adam_n so_o do_v this_o best_a set_v forth_o the_o rich_a grace_n of_o god_n to_o the_o elect_n the_o vessel_n of_o mercy_n than_o they_o shall_v consider_v that_o there_o be_v 〈◊〉_d in_o they_o deserve_a reprobation_n and_o i_o think_v when_o i_o consider_v that_o 〈◊〉_d be_v elect_v in_o christ_n it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v salin_n for_o christ_n presuppose_v sin_n which_o christ_n be_v to_o satisfy_v for_o the_o elect_a for_o the_o second_o proposition_n that_o god_n consider_v not_o man_n good_a be_v plain_a because_o all_o promise_n of_o god_n eternal_a favour_n both_o before_o the_o fall_n and_o after_o the_o same_o be_v make_v in_o the_o scripture_n to_o they_o which_o be_v good_a either_o by_o creation_n or_o regeneration_n and_o which_o continue_v in_o the_o same_o to_o conclude_v election_n and_o reprobation_n may_v be_v consider_v either_o absolute_o as_o that_o god_n elect_v or_o reprobate_v these_o or_o that_o he_o elect_v or_o reprobate_v these_o and_o not_o these_o if_o you_o ask_v why_o god_n elect_v these_o i_o answer_v that_o his_o sole_a will_n without_o any_o the_o least_o respect_n in_o the_o creature_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o if_o you_o ask_v why_o god_n elect_v these_o and_o not_o those_o as_o jacob_n and_o not_o esau_n i_o answer_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n if_o you_o ask_v why_o god_n reprobate_v these_o rather_o than_o these_o i_o answer_v as_o before_o that_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n thereof_o in_o the_o creature_n but_o only_o in_o he_o which_o be_v his_o will_n if_o also_o you_o shall_v ask_v why_o do_v god_n reprobate_v these_o i_o answer_v that_o his_o will_n also_o be_v the_o only_a cause_n thereof_o in_o this_o sense_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v in_o god_n free_a power_n notwithstanding_o sin_n to_o elect_v or_o not_o elect_v to_o reprobate_a or_o not_o reprobate_a for_o god_n be_v not_o compel_v by_o the_o sin_n he_o consider_v in_o man_n to_o reprobate_v he_o for_o he_o may_v have_v elect_v the_o same_o man_n in_o jesus_n christ_n if_o he_o have_v please_v and_o yet_o this_o we_o add_v that_o in_o reprobation_n of_o these_o god_n have_v respect_n to_o man_n sin_n not_o actual_a infidelity_n or_o sin_n but_o original_a not_o as_o a_o principal_a efficient_a or_o as_o a_o cause_n first_o move_v for_o god_n may_v have_v not_o reprobate_v if_o he_o have_v so_o please_v but_o as_o a_o cause_n deserve_v reprobation_n or_o as_o a_o necessary_a condition_n in_o the_o object_n without_o which_o god_n will_v not_o reprobate_v any_o for_o neither_o do_v god_n in_o time_n deny_v his_o grace_n to_o any_o but_o to_o those_o who_o deserve_v to_o be_v deny_v neither_o decree_n he_o before_o time_n to_o deny_v it_o but_o unto_o such_o and_o whereas_o some_o will_v say_v a_o universal_a cause_n bring_v forth_o a_o universal_a effect_n if_o then_o sin_n be_v universal_a why_o be_v not_o reprobation_n i_o answer_v that_o a_o universal_a cause_n bring_v forth_o such_o effect_n actual_o if_o it_o be_v not_o hinder_v by_o a_o superior_a overruling_a cause_n and_o so_o i_o yield_v that_o it_o be_v the_o natrue_a of_o sin_n to_o deprive_v all_o of_o grace_n and_o glory_n 3.23_o rom._n 3.23_o and_o will_v have_v this_o effect_n upon_o all_o mankind_n if_o god_n shall_v show_v no_o mercy_n and_o the_o reason_n it_o have_v not_o be_v because_o god_n be_v please_v out_o of_o his_o botomlesse_a mercy_n to_o accept_v of_o some_o and_o to_o elect_v they_o in_o christ_n use_v 1_o beware_v of_o search_v too_o far_o into_o this_o deep_a without_o the_o light_n of_o the_o word_n the_o plain_a way_n be_v the_o safe_a and_o in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o scripture_n have_v more_o spare_o speak_v of_o reprobation_n than_o election_n do_v thou_o labour_v more_o to_o make_v thy_o election_n sure_a upon_o good_a ground_n then_o to_o conceive_v every_o quiddity_n of_o man_n concern_v reprobation_n
