to_o have_v conscience_n thorough_o enlighten_v and_o inform_v who_o be_v more_o careless_a and_o negligent_a of_o their_o duty_n both_o to_o god_n and_o man_n who_o can_v with_o more_o freedom_n

set_v upon_o thing_n that_o be_v spiritual_a therefore_o i_o have_v life_n and_o peace_n so_o conscience_n also_o judge_v of_o the_o state_n of_o sin_n 8.6_o those_o that_o live_v after_o the_o

you_o say_v peter_n act_v 4.19_o appeal_n to_o their_o own_o conscience_n to_o judge_v in_o the_o point_n so_o that_o conscience_n be_v a_o faculty_n of_o a_o good_a judgement_n now_o if_o it_o be_v

that_o be_v able_a to_o argue_v and_o able_a to_o hold_v a_o argument_n we_o thus_o judge_v say_v the_o apostle_n that_o if_o one_o die_v for_o all_o then_o be_v all_o dead_a 2._o cor._n 5.14_o mark_v

here_o a_o argument_n if_o christ_n die_v for_o they_o all_o than_o they_o be_v all_o dead_a but_o christ_n die_v for_o they_o all_o therefore_o they_o be_v all_o dead_a judgement_n be_v able_a to_o

make_v out_o what_o our_o estate_n be_v 2._o because_o there_o be_v natural_a logic_n in_o every_o man_n conscience_n it_o can_v frame_v syllogism_n thus_o as_o many_o as_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o

for_o this_o if_o it_o can_v have_v it_o but_o a_o wicked_a man_n take_v a_o order_n with_o his_o conscience_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o tell_v he_o solemn_o how_o it_o be_v with_o he_o neither_o

among_o they_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o woman_n there_o have_v not_o be_v a_o great_a than_o john_n the_o baptist_n so_o may_v i_o say_v of_o bond_n and_o of_o vow_n and_o covenant_n among_o all_o the_o vow_n and_o covenant_n that_o ever_o be_v make_v there_o have_v not_o be_v a_o great_a than_o this_o of_o baptism_n and_o therefore_o you_o have_v best_o look_v to_o the_o perform_n of_o what_o you_o then_o vow_v if_o you_o do_v not_o you_o be_v grievous_a breaker_n of_o covenant_n with_o god_n which_o sin_n will_v sure_o stand_v against_o you_o for_o evil_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o baptism_n do_v great_o bind_v we_o in_o conscience_n to_o walk_v answerable_o to_o it_o in_o all_o righteousness_n and_o true_a holiness_n and_o we_o can_v never_o be_v save_v though_o we_o be_v baptize_v except_o we_o can_v answer_v with_o a_o good_a conscience_n that_o we_o live_v as_o we_o vow_v in_o our_o baptism_n 1._o pet._n 3.21_o the_o like_a figure_n whereunto_o even_o baptism_n do_v also_o now_o save_v we_o not_o the_o put_v away_o of_o the_o filth_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n towards_o god_n mark_n unless_o we_o can_v answer_v with_o a_o good_a conscience_n that_o we_o live_v according_a to_o our_o promise_n in_o it_o our_o baptism_n can_v save_v we_o i_o pray_v consider_v that_o speech_n of_o st_n paul_n we_o be_v bury_v with_o christ_n by_o baptism_n into_o his_o death_n 6.4_o that_o like_a as_o christ_n be_v raise_v up_o from_o thâ_n dead_a by_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o father_n even_o so_o we_o also_o shall_v walk_v in_o newness_n of_o life_n mark_v there_o be_v the_o vow_n that_o we_o make_v unto_o god_n in_o our_o baptism_n and_o the_o apostle_n there_o tell_v we_o we_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o keep_v this_o vow_n otherwise_o we_o have_v better_o have_v be_v without_o our_o baptism_n do_v not_o think_v that_o god_n will_v be_v mock_v you_o be_v content_a to_o go_v for_o christian_n but_o if_o you_o be_v christian_n consider_v you_o be_v under_o a_o great_a vow_n and_o if_o you_o do_v not_o keep_v it_o god_n covenant_n have_v a_o quarrel_n against_o you_o and_o you_o shall_v be_v break_v in_o judgement_n there_o be_v no_o sin_n that_o you_o live_v in_o no_o lust_n that_o your_o conscience_n tell_v you_o have_v entertainment_n in_o your_o heart_n but_o it_o be_v sacramental_a perjury_n against_o the_o vow_n that_o you_o make_v unto_o god_n in_o your_o baptism_n be_v you_o dead_a to_o good_a duty_n you_o vow_v in_o your_o baptism_n you_o will_v not_o be_v so_o do_v you_o not_o daily_o mortify_v and_o subdue_v your_o affection_n you_o vow_v in_o your_o baptism_n you_o will_v do_v you_o not_o daily_o fight_v against_o sin_n and_o the_o flesh_n like_o the_o faithful_a soldier_n of_o christ_n you_o vow_v in_o your_o baptism_n you_o will_v what_o a_o horrible_a perjury_n be_v this_o nay_o it_o be_v worse_o it_o be_v a_o sacramental_a perjury_n when_o the_o apostle_n see_v any_o sin_n in_o the_o people_n present_o they_o tell_v they_o of_o baptism_n as_o if_o they_o shall_v say_v do_v you_o live_v thus_o and_o thus_o when_o you_o vow_v the_o contrary_a in_o your_o
