conscience_n i_o will_v consider_v four_o point_n first_o whether_o we_o in_o our_o course_n can_v lie_v hide_v from_o our_o conscience_n i_o answer_v for_o a_o time_n we_o may_v both_o through_o the_o weakness_n of_o nature_n when_o the_o natural_a conscience_n do_v not_o take_v notice_n of_o sin_n 15._o act_n 15._o as_o when_o the_o gentile_n account_v fornication_n a_o thing_n indifferent_a

conscience_n as_o the_o gentile_n 1._o rom._n 1._o who_o because_o they_o do_v not_o glorify_v god_n with_o their_o natural_a knowledge_n be_v give_v over_o to_o unnatural_a sin_n yet_o we_o shall_v not_o always_o sleep_v thus_o secure_o it_o will_v look_v upon_o we_o with_o a_o witness_n and_o speak_v so_o loud_o in_o our_o ear_n that_o we_o shall_v see_v a_o map_n of_o our_o misery_n as_o theodoricus_n do_v the_o face_n of_o symachus_fw-la who_o he_o have_v murder_v in_o a_o fish-head_n on_o his_o table_n and_o shall_v make_v we_o leave_v behind_o we_o such_o a_o desperate_a will_n

the_o second_o point_n be_v this_o to_o consider_v see_v we_o can_v lie_v hide_v from_o our_o conscience_n what_o conscience_n do_v witness_v i_o answer_v it_o witness_v both_o our_o sin_n and_o our_o

our_o thought_n 50.21_o psal_n 50.21_o conscience_n take_v notice_n of_o it_o for_o as_o we_o will_v say_v for_o our_o own_o clear_n in_o my_o conscience_n i_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o think_v it_o

9.1_o my_o conscience_n bear_v i_o witness_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o i_o have_v great_a heaviness_n for_o you_o so_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o his_o will_n and_o affection_n have_v not_o

7.15_o rom._n 7.15_o i_o allow_v not_o that_o which_o i_o do_v yea_o what_o i_o hate_v that_o i_o do_v if_o we_o sin_v in_o our_o word_n conscience_n present_o hear_v therefore_o solomon_n observe_v

13.18_o 2_o cor._n 1.12_o act._n 23.1_o who_o conscience_n tell_v hi●_n that_o he_o be_v willing_a in_o all_o thing_n to_o live_v honest_o that_o in_o simplicity_n and_o godly_a pureness_n he_o have_v

four_o place_n you_o will_v ask_v i_o why_o the_o conscience_n do_v in_o these_o reason_n as_o a_o witness_n propound_v the_o truth_n i_o answer_v in_o two_o respect_n first_o in_o respect_n of_o
