may_v call_v it_o the_o essence_n of_o conscience_n second_o we_o will_v examine_v and_o consider_v its_o manner_n of_o operation_n and_o act_n in_o all_o man_n now_o the_o very_a essence_n of_o conscience_n be_v knowledge_n for_o no_o man_n can_v have_v a_o conscience_n to_o himself_o of_o any_o thing_n which_o he_o do_v not_o know_v nor_o of_o any_o thing_n further_o than_o he_o do_v know_v it_o for_o example_n i_o know_v that_o god_n be_v and_o that_o he_o be_v to_o be_v worship_v and_o therefore_o my_o conscience_n tell_v i_o i_o be_o oblige_v to_o act_v according_a to_o that_o knowledge_n and_o that_o i_o ought_v to_o adore_v he_o i_o know_v that_o no_o creature_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v with_o divine_a adoration_n and_o therefore_o my_o conscience_n tell_v i_o i_o sin_n against_o knowledge_n if_o i_o give_v adoration_n by_o worship_v either_o man_n or_o angel_n much_o more_o if_o i_o bestow_v it_o upon_o the_o more_o ignoble_a part_n of_o the_o creation_n gold_n silver_n wood_n stone_n creep_v thing_n bird_n or_o fourfooted_a beast_n i_o do_v not_o certain_o know_v whether_o saint_n depart_v this_o life_n can_v hear_v my_o prayer_n though_o make_v to_o they_o in_o the_o most_o modest_a sense_n and_o in_o the_o same_o nature_n as_o i_o will_v do_v if_o they_o be_v alive_a beg_v of_o they_o to_o pray_v or_o intercede_v for_o i_o and_o therefore_o if_o i_o do_v not_o pray_v to_o they_o to_o pray_v for_o i_o my_o conscience_n do_v not_o accuse_v i_o of_o have_v neglect_v a_o duty_n which_o i_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v or_o sin_v against_o my_o knowledge_n so_o that_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o to_o know_v be_v of_o the_o essence_n of_o conscience_n so_o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o conscience_n without_o it_o now_o scientia_fw-la est_fw-la de_fw-la certis_fw-la &_o indubitatis_fw-la all_o knowledge_n be_v of_o certain_a and_o undoubted_a thing_n and_o this_o certainty_n which_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o knowledge_n be_v ground_v either_o upon_o the_o demonstration_n of_o sense_n reason_n or_o divine_a revelation_n and_o whatever_o i_o know_v it_o be_v because_o i_o have_v a_o certainty_n that_o it_o be_v such_o in_o its_o own_o nature_n either_o from_o the_o evidence_n of_o sense_n which_o can_v deceive_v i_o or_o from_o clear_a and_o plain_a reason_n or_o else_o from_o a_o positive_a divine_a revelation_n which_o proceed_v from_o he_o who_o therefore_o will_v not_o because_o he_o can_v deceive_v i_o be_v truth_n itself_o and_o therefore_o if_o the_o thing_n i_o will_v know_v be_v either_o in_o their_o own_o nature_n uncertain_a as_o be_v all_o future_a contingency_n and_o many_o past_a action_n of_o former_a age_n about_o which_o i_o want_v sufficient_a mean_n of_o a_o certain_a information_n i_o can_v have_v no_o knowledge_n of_o they_o and_o by_o consequence_n no_o obligation_n upon_o my_o mind_n to_o believe_v they_o or_o act_n according_a to_o they_o but_o wheresoever_o there_o be_v a_o certainty_n of_o knowledge_n either_o from_o sense_n reason_n or_o divine_a revelation_n there_o my_o mind_n be_v not_o leave_v at_o liberty_n but_o have_v a_o obligation_n lay_v upon_o it_o to_o act_v or_o not_o to_o act_v according_a to_o the_o command_n of_o that_o knowledge_n and_o that_o this_o be_v not_o my_o private_a opinion_n but_o agreeable_a to_o the_o great_a truth_n let_v the_o most_o learned_a apostle_n st._n paul_n give_v his_o testimony_n in_o that_o well_o know_a place_n ult_n rom._n 14._o ult_n whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n for_o by_o faith_n there_o can_v be_v mean_v that_o supernatural_a gift_n and_o grace_n of_o believe_v to_o salvation_n because_o every_o thing_n to_o be_v know_v or_o do_v be_v not_o the_o object_n of_o that_o faith_n and_o therefore_o as_o appear_v by_o the_o five_o verse_n by_o faith_n there_o he_o understand_v that_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d that_o full_a assurance_n of_o a_o man_n own_o mind_n which_o be_v no_o other_o thing_n but_o the_o result_n of_o a_o certainty_n of_o knowledge_n of_o what_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v or_o not_o to_o do_v and_o be_v proper_o oppose_v to_o that_o doubt_v and_o waver_v of_o a_o man_n mind_n occasion_v by_o the_o want_n of_o knowledge_n and_o therefore_o he_o tell_v we_o it_o be_v a_o damnable_a sin_n to_o do_v that_o which_o i_o doubt_v i_o ought_v not_o for_o say_v he_o he_o that_o doubt_v be_v damn_v if_o he_o eat_v because_o it_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n that_o be_v of_o a_o full_a assurance_n of_o knowledge_n that_o what_o he_o do_v be_v lawful_a for_o to_o such_o a_o person_n till_o he_o have_v a_o full_a assurance_n from_o a_o certain_a knowledge_n that_o it_o be_v not_o it_o be_v sin_n because_o for_o aught_o he_o know_v it_o may_v be_v so_o and_o the_o rule_n tell_v he_o he_o be_v to_o abstain_v from_o the_o very_a appearance_n of_o evil_n and_o reason_n tell_v he_o tutum_fw-la est_fw-la errare_fw-la à_fw-la dextra_fw-la it_o be_v the_o best_a to_o err_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n by_o abstain_v from_o that_o which_o i_o be_o not_o full_o assure_v of_o but_o it_o may_v be_v sinful_a and_o for_o this_o very_a reason_n the_o same_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o occasion_n of_o those_o mistake_n in_o the_o church_n about_o eat_v thing_n offer_v in_o sacrifice_n to_o idol_n proceed_v from_o a_o want_n of_o this_o knowledge_n howbeit_o say_v he_o there_o be_v not_o in_o every_o man_n this_o knowledge_n and_o for_o want_v of_o this_o he_o tell_v they_o their_o conscience_n be_v weak_a that_o be_v their_o mind_n be_v doubtful_a and_o some_o be_v of_o one_o persuasion_n other_o of_o another_o about_o it_o so_o that_o knowledge_n be_v of_o the_o essence_n of_o conscience_n and_o certainty_n be_v of_o the_o essence_n of_o knowledge_n it_o follow_v that_o conscience_n proper_o so_o call_v can_v be_v exercise_v but_o about_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v certain_o know_v and_o therefore_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v or_o do_v which_o plain_o show_v the_o unwarrantable_a doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o some_o man_n who_o impose_v many_o thing_n upon_o people_n as_o indispensible_a matter_n of_o conscience_n which_o in_o their_o own_o nature_n admit_v of_o the_o great_a doubt_n and_o uncertainty_n and_o which_o they_o have_v no_o lawful_a authority_n to_o establish_v as_o obligatory_a to_o the_o mind_n and_o conscience_n of_o men._n but_o to_o confirm_v this_o second_o let_v we_o examine_v the_o manner_n of_o operation_n and_o act_n of_o conscience_n in_o all_o man_n now_o the_o exercise_n of_o conscience_n consist_v in_o these_o two_o thing_n first_o i_o inquire_v with_o myself_o whether_o i_o have_v do_v what_o i_o ought_v or_o abstain_v from_o what_o i_o ought_v second_o i_o inquire_v if_o i_o have_v do_v or_o abstain_v as_o i_o ought_v whether_o i_o have_v do_v it_o after_o that_o manner_n and_o with_o those_o due_a circumstance_n as_o i_o ought_v now_o in_o both_o these_o operation_n the_o necessity_n of_o they_o be_v the_o rule_n and_o the_o foundation_n of_o that_o necessity_n be_v my_o certain_a knowledge_n that_o they_o be_v so_o for_o thus_o i_o judge_v i_o have_v do_v this_o because_o i_o certain_o know_v in_o obedience_n to_o the_o rule_n i_o ought_v to_o do_v it_o i_o have_v abstain_v from_o that_o because_o i_o certain_o know_v that_o i_o ought_v of_o necessity_n not_o to_o do_v it_o i_o have_v do_v it_o after_o this_o manner_n because_o i_o be_o certain_o assure_v that_o this_o be_v according_a to_o the_o way_n direct_v by_o my_o rule_n therefore_o my_o conscience_n that_o be_v my_o power_n of_o judge_v myself_o pronounce_v for_o i_o that_o i_o have_v do_v right_a and_o well_o and_o then_o my_o mind_n or_o conscience_n be_v satisfy_v i_o be_o at_o ease_n and_o quiet_a within_o myself_o and_o this_o be_v call_v a_o good_a conscience_n or_o peace_n of_o conscience_n on_o the_o contrary_a when_o i_o have_v do_v either_o what_o i_o certain_o know_v i_o ought_v not_o or_o but_o doubt_v i_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v do_v or_o omit_v what_o i_o be_o assure_v i_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v or_o where_o i_o have_v not_o do_v what_o i_o ought_v to_o do_v according_a as_o i_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v it_o for_o the_o manner_n of_o performance_n with_o all_o due_a circumstance_n my_o conscience_n tell_v i_o i_o have_v not_o do_v well_o or_o according_a to_o my_o knowledge_n and_o therefore_o my_o mind_n be_v unquiet_a and_o unsatisfied_a haunt_v with_o guilt_n of_o the_o evil_a and_o terrify_v with_o the_o fearful_a expectation_n of_o punishment_n and_o this_o be_v call_v a_o evil_a conscience_n or_o to_o speak_v more_o proper_o a_o conscience_n of_o evil_n but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o command_n to_o act_v or_o to_o abstain_v nor_o any_o direction_n for_o the_o manner_n and_o circumstance_n
