his_o god_n again_o if_o we_o make_v god_n our_o god_n we_o may_v know_v it_o by_o our_o obedience_n especial_o by_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o inward_a man_n when_o the_o inward_a man_n be_v vow_v

this_o clear_a there_o be_v three_o degree_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n though_o the_o last_o be_v here_o mean_v especial_o there_o be_v first_o a_o good_a conscience_n that_o be_v trouble_v a_o

and_o tend_v to_o good_a for_o it_o tend_v to_o drive_v we_o to_o christ._n there_o be_v a_o good_a conscience_n therefore_o that_o have_v terror_n with_o it_o the_o second_o degree_n of_o a_o good_a

this_o course_n after_o he_o have_v terrify_v conscience_n by_o his_o spirit_n and_o word_n than_o he_o offer_v in_o the_o gospel_n and_o not_o only_o offer_v but_o command_v we_o to_o believe_v he_o offer_v all_o good_a in_o christ_n and_o command_v we_o &_o not_o only_o so_o but_o invite_v we_o come_v unto_o i_o all_o you_o that_o be_v weary_a etc._n etc._n nay_o he_o beseech_v we_o we_o beseech_v you_o to_o be_v reconcile_v he_o take_v all_o course_n now_o his_o spirit_n go_v with_o these_o entreaty_n he_o persuade_v the_o soul_n that_o he_o be_v our_o gracious_a father_n in_o

this_o purpose_n hereupon_o conscience_n be_v satisfy_v and_o do_v willing_o yield_v to_o these_o gracious_a promise_n it_o yield_v to_o this_o command_n of_o believe_a to_o these_o sweet_a inviting_n this_o be_v a_o peaceable_a good_a conscience_n hereupon_o come_v in_o the_o three_o place_n a_o gracious_a good_a conscience_n which_o be_v a_o conscience_n conscience_n after_o we_o have_v believe_v that_o resolve_v to_o please_v god_n in_o all_o thing_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v heb._n 13._o we_o have_v a_o good_a conscience_n study_v to_o please_v god_n in_o 13._o all_o thing_n we_o have_v a_o good_a conscience_n towards_o god_n and_o towards_o man_n when_o the_o conscience_n be_v appease_v and_o quiet_v than_o it_o be_v fit_a to_o serve_v god_n as_o a_o instrument_n that_o be_v in_o tune_n a_o instrument_n out_o of_o tune_n yield_v nothing_o but_o harsh_a music_n so_o when_o the_o soul_n and_o conscience_n be_v distemper_v and_o not_o set_v at_o peace_n it_o be_v not_o gracious_a so_o now_o you_o see_v the_o order_n there_o be_v a_o trouble_a good_a conscience_n and_o a_o peaceable_a good_a conscience_n and_o then_o a_o gracious_a heart_n forwhile_o conscience_n be_v not_o at_o peace_n by_o the_o blood_n and_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n by_o consider_v he_o and_o by_o application_n of_o he_o there_o be_v no_o grace_n nor_o service_n of_o god_n with_o that_o heart_n but_o the_o heart_n shun_v god_n it_o hate_v god_n and_o murmur_n against_o god_n man_n think_v why_o shall_v they_o do_v good_a deed_n when_o they_o believe_v not_o when_o they_o cast_v not_o

whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n and_o love_n it_o be_v sin_n the_o heart_n can_v but_o be_v afraid_a of_o god_n and_o wish_v there_o be_v no_o god_n and_o murmur_n and_o repine_v till_o it_o be_v pacify_v that_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o their_o epistle_n they_o press_v conscience_n of_o good_a duty_n when_o they_o have_v teach_v christian_n before_o and_o establish_v they_o in_o christ_n because_o all_o duty_n issue_v from_o faith_n if_o they_o come_v not_o thence_o they_o be_v nothing_o if_o there_o be_v first_o faith_n in_o christ_n then_o there_o will_v be_v a_o good_a conscience_n in_o our_o life_n and_o conversation_n and_o from_o the_o gracious_a conscience_n come_v the_o increase_n of_o a_o peaceable_a conscience_n there_o must_v be_v peace_n before_o we_o can_v gracious_o renew_v our_o covenant_n to_o please_v god_n but_o when_o we_o have_v both_o these_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o a_o resolution_n to_o please_v god_n in_o all_o thing_n there_o come_v a_o increase_n of_o peace_n for_o then_o there_o be_v a_o argument_n to_o satisfy_v conscience_n when_o first_o of_o all_o conscience_n go_v to_o christ_n to_o the_o foundation_n i_o have_v answer_v god_n command_n i_o have_v believe_v and_o cast_v myself_o upon_o christ_n i_o have_v answer_v god_n promise_n he_o have_v promise_v if_o i_o do_v so_o he_o will_v give_v i_o christ_n with_o all_o his_o benefit_n i_o have_v yield_v the_o obedience_n of_o faith_n hereupon_o come_v some_o comfort_n here_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o this_o obedience_n but_o then_o when_o conscience_n likewise_o from_o this_o resolve_n to_o please_v god_n in_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o duty_n to_o god_n and_o man_n hereupon_o come_v another_o increase_n of_o peace_n when_o i_o look_v to_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n in_o my_o own_o heart_n for_o a_o work_n careful_a christian_a have_v a_o double_a comfort_n ground_n of_o comfort_n one_o in_o the_o command_n to_o believe_v and_o in_o the_o promise_n whether_o he_o have_v evidence_n of_o grace_n or_o no_o but_o when_o he_o have_v power_n by_o the_o spirit_n to_o lead_v a_o godly_a life_n and_o to_o keep_v a_o good_a conscience_n in_o all_o thing_n than_o he_o have_v comfort_n from_o the_o evidence_n of_o grace_n in_o his_o own_o heart_n from_o whence_o
they_o rather_o reproach_v and_o upbraid_v he_o with_o his_o singularity_n where_o be_v thy_o god_n you_o be_v one_o of_o god_n darling_n you_o be_v one_o that_o think_v no_o body_n serve_v god_n but_o you_o you_o be_v one_o that_o will_v go_v alone_o your_o god_n so_o this_o be_v a_o ordinary_a reproach_n a_o ordinary_a part_n for_o wicked_a man_n to_o cast_v at_o the_o best_a people_n
