not_o find_v when_o your_o last_o hour_n shall_v come_v for_o how_o slight_o soever_o some_o have_v speak_v of_o mortality_n i_o be_o confident_a no_o man_n ever_o yet_o repent_v of_o it_o on_o his_o

for_o man_n to_o shift_v themselves_o from_o those_o pollution_n wherein_o they_o die_v nor_o do_v death_n so_o alter_v the_o state_n of_o a_o man_n as_o that_o the_o sense_n of_o gild_n and_o sting_n

in_o the_o next_o what_o can_v be_v so_o necessary_a for_o we_o as_o to_o have_v a_o care_n of_o our_o conscience_n and_o in_o simplicity_n and_o godly_a sincerity_n to_o have_v our_o conversation_n in_o the_o world_n alas_o we_o have_v no_o abide_v place_n here_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n will_v soon_o slip_v out_o of_o our_o hand_n that_o little_a good_a there_o be_v in_o this_o world_n we_o shall_v lose_v in_o a_o short_a time_n nor_o can_v we_o carry_v hence_o any_o thing_n with_o we_o but_o the_o remembrance_n of_o what_o we_o have_v do_v and_o that_o the_o remembrance_n thereof_o may_v not_o be_v painful_a i_o crave_v the_o liberty_n to_o offer_v brief_o these_o few_o thing_n the_o point_n be_v altogether_o practical_a 1._o that_o we_o give_v all_o moral_a diligence_n to_o inform_v our_o conscience_n right_o of_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o all_o we_o do_v this_o be_v the_o fault_n of_o st._n paul_n before_o his_o conversion_n that_o he_o take_v thing_n upon_o trust_n and_o go_v upon_o presumption_n have_v he_o diligent_o examine_v the_o christian_a institution_n and_o consider_v all_o the_o reason_n and_o argument_n on_o its_o side_n he_o may_v have_v be_v convince_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o without_o a_o miracle_n from_o heaven_n but_o he_o take_v for_o grant_v that_o the_o moysaicall_a law_n in_o all_o its_o part_n be_v to_o continue_v for_o ever_o and_o so_o he_o persecute_v the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n as_o apostate_n from_o the_o law_n not_o look_v upon_o all_o this_o as_o injurious_a deal_v but_o as_o condign_a punishment_n he_o very_o think_v himself_o bind_v to_o do_v those_o thing_n and_o what_o a_o chargeable_a thought_n be_v that_o to_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n what_o a_o expense_n of_o blood_n do_v it_o put_v they_o to_o what_o imprisonment_n and_o other_o suffering_n do_v it_o not_o cost_v they_o that_o one_o think_v of_o he_o therefore_o to_o have_v a_o conscience_n void_a of_o offence_n it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o use_v all_o proper_a mean_n for_o the_o remove_n and_o cure_v of_o mistake_v such_o as_o unprejudiced_a meditation_n read_v of_o good_a book_n conference_n with_o skilful_a and_o upright_a teacher_n and_o the_o like_a for_o though_o we_o be_v all_o subject_n to_o mistake_n by_o reason_n of_o our_o nature_n and_o though_o there_o be_v few_o who_o be_v not_o at_o all_o mistake_v in_o one_o particular_a or_o other_o yet_o as_o long_o as_o a_o mistake_n be_v not_o wilful_a proceed_v from_o the_o neglect_n of_o proper_a mean_n the_o man_n be_v acquit_v though_o he_o be_v erroneous_a god_n himself_o the_o searcher_n of_o heart_n and_o the_o judge_n of_o all_o the_o earth_n do_v pardon_n involuntary_a ignorances_n upon_o a_o general_a repentance_n and_o this_o shall_v ever_o be_v a_o fix_a rule_n for_o our_o charity_n to_o one_o another_o where_o our_o opinion_n be_v different_a to_o bear_v like_o brethren_n with_o each_o other_o infirmity_n as_o long_o as_o there_o be_v tolerable_a reason_n to_o believe_v that_o man_n heart_n be_v sincere_a and_o honest_a and_o their_o error_n involuntary_a however_o though_o we_o live_v in_o a_o uncharitable_a and_o censorious_a world_n yet_o we_o shall_v be_v sure_a not_o to_o miss_v of_o peace_n and_o satisfaction_n in_o our_o own_o mind_n if_o we_o be_v not_o want_v to_o ourselves_o in_o our_o endeavour_n to_o inform_v our_o judgement_n right_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o a_o error_n be_v not_o thing_n inconsistent_a i_o be_o sure_a our_o apostle_n error_n be_v in_o some_o measure_n wilful_a and_o yet_o he_o obtain_v mercy_n because_o what_o he_o have_v do_v he_o do_v through_o ignorance_n 2._o our_o endeavour_n be_v thus_o honest_o employ_v the_o next_o way_n to_o have_v a_o conscience_n void_a of_o offence_n be_v to_o follow_v its_o dictate_v great_a be_v the_o power_n which_o every_o one_o conscience_n have_v over_o he_o and_o those_o who_o speak_v so_o slight_o of_o its_o obligation_n either_o have_v no_o conscience_n themselves_o or_o else_o understand_v not_o what_o the_o office_n and_o power_n of_o it_o be_v it_o have_v by_o the_o appointment_n of_o god_n himself_o the_o immediate_a government_n of_o we_o so_o that_o the_o very_a word_n of_o god_n do_v not_o otherwise_o guide_v we_o than_o by_o the_o light_n which_o it_o afford_v the_o conscience_n though_o the_o divine_a will_v be_v the_o supreme_a rule_n yet_o conscience_n be_v the_o inward_a and_o immediate_a measure_n of_o our_o action_n and_o on_o that_o account_n the_o command_n be_v so_o peremptory_a that_o every_o one_o be_v to_o be_v full_o persuade_v in_o his_o own_o mind_n and_o the_o determination_n be_v so_o positive_a that_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n hence_o it_o evident_o follow_v that_o conscience_n must_v be_v obey_v for_o if_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o act_n without_o some_o conviction_n of_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o the_o action_n what_o a_o sin_n be_v it_o to_o act_n quite_o contrary_a to_o one_o conviction_n against_o one_o judgement_n and_o persuasion_n and_o in_o spite_n of_o all_o the_o dictate_v and_o outcry_n of_o conscience_n touch_v the_o direct_a unlawfulness_n of_o what_o a_o man_n do_v all_o agree_v that_o this_o be_v utter_o inconsistent_a with_o a_o good_a conscience_n nay_o some_o learned_a casuist_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o be_v far_o less_o a_o criminal_a who_o commit_v evil_a when_o he_o think_v it_o to_o be_v good_a than_o he_o be_v who_o do_v good_a when_o he_o think_v it_o to_o be_v evil_a for_o in_o the_o former_a case_n the_o intention_n be_v good_a but_o in_o the_o latter_a the_o heart_n be_v obstinate_a and_o perfect_o malicious_a as_o well_o as_o the_o conscience_n erroneous_a iii_o to_o despise_v the_o world_n when_o it_o stand_v in_o competition_n with_o our_o duty_n be_v another_o sure_a way_n to_o keep_v one_o conscience_n void_a of_o offence_n because_o nothing_o be_v more_o apt_a to_o corrupt_v man_n mind_n and_o to_o rifle_v they_o of_o their_o integrity_n than_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o eye_n and_o the_o pride_n of_o life_n though_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n it_o will_v be_v the_o most_o foolish_a exchange_n to_o part_v with_o one_o soul_n though_o to_o gain_v the_o whole_a world_n be_v a_o acquest_n of_o that_o nature_n possible_a iu._n and_o so_o to_o resist_v the_o first_o temptation_n unto_o sin_n to_o get_v such_o a_o mastery_n over_o our_o own_o will_n as_o to_o arm_v ourselves_o with_o firm_a purpose_n and_o resolution_n against_o it_o to_o pray_v daily_a and_o hearty_o unto_o god_n not_o to_o lead_v we_o into_o temptation_n and_o above_o all_o to_o have_v god_n always_o before_o our_o eye_n to_o possess_v our_o soul_n with_o a_o true_a fear_n of_o he_o to_o entertain_v reverend_a and_o awful_a thought_n of_o his_o omniscience_n and_o justice_n that_o he_o be_v a_o spectator_n of_o all_o our_o action_n that_o he_o search_v the_o very_a reign_n and_o that_o he_o look_v into_o all_o the_o recess_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o that_o a_o time_n will_v infallible_o come_v when_o he_o will_v un-case_n we_o and_o lay_v we_o open_a and_o reward_v every_o one_o according_a to_o his_o work_n and_o judge_v even_o the_o secret_n of_o man_n by_o jesus_n christ_n this_o alone_a will_v be_v a_o excellent_a mean_n to_o make_v man_n keep_v a_o conscience_n void_a of_o offence_n for_o they_o will_v not_o dare_v to_o presume_v in_o any_o kind_n do_v but_o the_o true_a fear_n of_o god_n rule_n in_o their_o heart_n kind_o because_o this_o must_v be_v grant_v by_o all_o who_o have_v any_o sense_n of_o god_n that_o though_o they_o may_v deceive_v themselves_o with_o lie_v hope_n and_o the_o unthinking_a populace_n with_o a_o specious_a outside_n yet_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o deceive_v the_o god_n of_o heaven_n nor_o can_v we_o suppose_v any_o man_n to_o be_v so_o careless_a of_o his_o own_o safety_n and_o self-preservation_n as_o to_o damn_v himself_o if_o he_o do_v very_o believe_v that_o damnation_n will_v be_v the_o end_n of_o his_o evil_a work_n and_o that_o for_o all_o those_o thing_n god_n will_v bring_v he_o to_o judgement_n in_o short_a whatsoever_o thing_n be_v honest_a whatsoever_o thing_n be_v just_a whatsoever_o thing_n be_v pure_a and_o lovely_a and_o of_o good_a report_n if_o there_o be_v any_o virtue_n if_o there_o be_v any_o praise_n let_v we_o think_v of_o those_o thing_n and_o the_o very_a god_n of_o peace_n sanctify_v we_o whole_o that_o our_o whole_a spirit_n soul_n and_o body_n may_v be_v
