this_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o peculiar_a of_o the_o searcher_n of_o heart_n and_o reins_o however_o i_o be_o persuade_v the_o common_a exigence_n and_o necessity_n of_o humane_a nature_n will_v instruct_v mankind_n in_o the_o most_o fundamental_a rule_n of_o natural_a religion_n and_o yet_o god_n will_v charge_v nothing_o upon_o we_o but_o where_o he_o can_v convince_v our_o conscience_n of_o notorious_a neglect_v and_o in_o this_o case_n it_o be_v consonant_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o justice_n that_o sentence_n shall_v be_v pass_v not_o according_a to_o former_a but_o present_a conviction_n indeed_o it_o can_v never_o be_v imagine_v that_o the_o great_a judge_n of_o all_o the_o earth_n in_o his_o final_a award_v to_o mankind_n will_v erect_v a_o tribunal_n that_o have_v not_o its_o original_a from_o he_o i_o mean_v from_o the_o conviction_n of_o a_o erroneous_a conscience_n and_o therefore_o since_o it_o be_v demonstrate_v that_o new_a sentiment_n and_o conviction_n will_v break_v in_o upon_o the_o mind_n even_o to_o the_o charge_v of_o gild_n upon_o those_o neglect_v which_o be_v the_o immediate_a source_n of_o false_a conviction_n we_o may_v just_o conclude_v that_o the_o judicial_a proceed_n of_o the_o great_a day_n shall_v be_v establish_v upon_o a_o regulate_v conscience_n i_o mean_v according_a to_o the_o divine_a oeconomy_n of_o it_o and_o consequent_o it_o be_v not_o the_o plea_n of_o former_a conviction_n nor_o want_v of_o consciousness_n when_o enormity_n be_v commit_v that_o will_v be_v sufficient_a to_o exempt_v any_o man_n from_o the_o jurisdiction_n of_o it_o for_o these_o may_v be_v resolve_v into_o personal_n neglect_v and_o personal_n neglect_v be_v alone_o sufficient_a to_o derive_v a_o gild_n upon_o we_o as_o for_o the_o want_n of_o consciousness_n it_o be_v a_o branch_n of_o the_o objection_n not_o yet_o reply_v to_o and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v make_v some_o few_o remark_n upon_o it_o and_o first_o it_o be_v certain_a as_o long_o as_o enormity_n be_v commit_v upon_o personal_a neglect_v as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o drunkenness_n it_o be_v not_o necessary_a the_o mind_n shall_v be_v conscious_a of_o the_o whole_a process_n when_o actual_o commit_v it_o be_v abundant_o sufficient_a if_o upon_o a_o representation_n of_o circumstance_n we_o shall_v at_o last_o be_v force_v to_o own_v they_o or_o ascribe_v the_o commission_n of_o they_o to_o ourselves_o for_o this_o will_v bring_v we_o under_o the_o dominion_n of_o conscience_n at_o the_o last_o day_n certain_o we_o may_v with_o as_o much_o force_n of_o reason_n plead_v a_o exemption_n from_o the_o guilt_n of_o enormity_n which_o through_o tract_n of_o time_n be_v wipe_v off_o the_o table_n of_o the_o mind_n as_o deny_v to_o account_v for_o enormity_n which_o when_o commit_v we_o be_v not_o conscious_a of_o when_o it_o be_v some_o former_a enormity_n have_v disable_v we_o from_o be_v conscious_a of_o they_o whereas_o it_o can_v only_o be_v require_v in_o both_o case_n that_o proper_a and_o competent_a method_n be_v contrive_v to_o make_v we_o conscious_a at_o the_o last_o day_n so_o as_o to_o pronounce_v ourselves_o the_o author_n of_o they_o for_o when_o this_o be_v do_v conscience_n will_v determine_v as_o effectual_o as_o if_o our_o present_a and_o past_a conviction_n be_v consonant_a to_o each_o other_o upon_o the_o whole_a then_o it_o be_v visible_a it_o be_v not_o the_o present_a state_n of_o any_o man_n conscience_n any_o far_a than_o it_o accord_v with_o the_o divine_a oeconomy_n of_o conscience_n no_o more_o than_o any_o present_a act_n of_o consciousness_n that_o will_v be_v receive_v for_o a_o final_a measure_n of_o the_o goodness_n or_o evil_n of_o our_o action_n and_o consequent_o of_o a_o final_a condemnation_n or_o deliverance_n but_o conscience_n found_v on_o the_o express_a law_n of_o god_n the_o sole_a rule_n of_o duty_n and_o the_o agreement_n or_o disagreement_n of_o our_o action_n with_o they_o i_o will_v not_o be_v mistake_v as_o if_o i_o intend_v to_o straighten_v or_o fix_v limit_n to_o the_o infinite_a mercy_n of_o god_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o his_o own_o infinite_a purity_n truth_n or_o justice_n can_v at_o any_o time_n divert_v his_o mercy_n but_o yet_o i_o think_v it_o be_v evident_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v judge_v for_o our_o action_n as_o they_o be_v in_o their_o own_o nature_n and_o that_o too_o on_o the_o award_v of_o a_o rectify_a conscience_n wherever_o a_o erroneous_a conscience_n can_v be_v charge_v with_o gild_n no_o one_o can_v dispute_v the_o gild_n of_o a_o erroneous_a conscience_n where_o the_o error_n be_v propagate_v through_o wilful_a enormity_n or_o manifest_a neglect_v thus_o far_o the_o sacred_a canon_n be_v express_v and_o clear_a when_o we_o be_v tell_v in_o the_o case_n of_o error_n that_o the_o mind_n and_o conscience_n be_v defile_v tit._n 1.15_o and_o certain_o wherever_o there_o be_v defilement_n there_o must_v be_v gild_n and_o wherever_o there_o be_v gild_n there_o be_v at_o least_o punishment_n due_a and_o i_o presume_v it_o be_v sufficient_o demonstrate_v that_o lose_v idea_n will_v be_v revive_v that_o every_o action_n will_v appear_v in_o its_o proper_a dress_n and_o consequent_o the_o whole_a oeconomy_n of_o conscience_n will_v be_v change_v if_o what_o have_v already_o be_v offer_v be_v not_o conclusive_a the_o state_n of_o the_o wicked_a after_o condemnation_n will_v infer_v it_o now_o certain_o whoever_o allow_v the_o divine_a oeconomy_n of_o conscience_n must_v allow_v a_o future_a judgement_n and_o if_o there_o be_v a_o future_a judgement_n and_o man_n to_o be_v judge_v by_o their_o conscience_n the_o most_o harden_a unrelenting_a sinner_n will_v be_v bring_v to_o a_o clear_a apprehension_n of_o the_o line_n of_o duty_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v force_v to_o own_o the_o justice_n of_o his_o sentence_n though_o his_o conscience_n be_v seer_v and_o past_a feel_n it_o shall_v now_o recover_v a_o double_a force_n and_o retain_v the_o quick_a apprehension_n of_o thing_n and_o conscience_n thus_o enforce_v and_o arm_v with_o fresh_a power_n and_o vigour_n shall_v be_v the_o eternal_a instrument_n of_o increase_v the_o torment_n of_o the_o damn_a since_o than_o conscience_n shall_v be_v thus_o regulate_v in_o order_n to_o enhance_v and_o perpetuate_v their_o misery_n we_o may_v just_o conclude_v that_o its_o regulation_n will_v commence_v at_o the_o great_a tribunal_n in_o order_n to_o ratify_v the_o sentence_n of_o condemnation_n and_o certain_o since_o it_o must_v
