the_o conscience_n i_o say_v be_v at_o liberty_n when_o it_o be_v free_v from_o the_o burden_n of_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n past_a and_o from_o the_o present_a temptation_n unto_o sin_n and_o till_o this_o be_v witness_v there_o be_v no_o true_a liberty_n of_o conscience_n for_o every_o thing_n whatsoever_o which_o be_v sin_n and_o transgression_n against_o god_n in_o work_n or_o word_n bring_v forth_o by_o the_o creature_n be_v bondage_n and_o a_o burden_n and_o oppress_v the_o pure_a conscience_n and_o therefore_o perfect_a freedom_n from_o all_o sin_n and_o transgression_n be_v where_o

by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n which_o lead_v into_o all_o truth_n and_o preserve_v from_o all_o evil_n then_o be_v the_o conscience_n at_o liberty_n and_o this_o be_v true_a liberty_n of_o conscience_n when_o this_o be_v bring_v forth_o in_o the_o creature_n for_o where_o sin_n be_v bring_v forth_o and_o transgression_n live_v in_o there_o the_o conscience_n be_v bind_v and_o the_o

of_o god_n do_v not_o exercise_v it_o but_o the_o spirit_n of_o unrighteousness_n lead_v the_o mind_n into_o the_o lust_n of_o this_o world_n into_o lie_v swear_v pride_n drunkenness_n hypocrisy_n and_o idolatry_n and_o the_o guilt_n of_o these_o thing_n burden_v and_o press_v down_o and_o be_v a_o bondage_n upon_o the_o conscience_n and_o where_o the_o conscience_n be_v bind_v by_o unrighteousness_n within_o and_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o world_n which_o lead_v contrary_a to_o the_o lord_n there_o be_v no_o power_n of_o man_n without_o can_v set_v that_o conscience_n free_a or_o give_v liberty_n to_o it_o because_o the_o cord_n of_o iniquity_n have_v bind_v it_o within_o and_o the_o burden_n of_o guilt_n be_v upon_o it_o and_o conscience_n lie_v under_o bondage_n
