and_o yet_o they_o go_v on_o at_o last_o they_o come_v to_o have_v secret_a despair_n in_o their_o heart_n that_o god_n now_o will_v not_o look_v towards_o they_o whereas_o if_o yet_o they_o have_v

yet_o many_o of_o the_o wicked_a despair_n final_o by_o this_o mean_n because_o they_o do_v so_o often_o fall_v into_o temptation_n therefore_o they_o conclude_v they_o be_v forsake_v of_o god_n 3._o

cause_n of_o despair_n 4._o so_o also_o enure_v custom_n of_o sin_v be_v another_o cause_n when_o man_n be_v often_o quicken_v and_o grow_v dead_a again_o then_o quicken_v again_o for_o a_o fit_a and_o then_o harden_v again_o in_o the_o end_n they_o fall_v to_o despair_v these_o and_o the_o like_a be_v the_o cause_n of_o despair_a conscience_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v show_v also_o the_o second_o thing_n propound_v to_o be_v handle_v namely_o the_o sundry_a degree_n of_o trouble_a conscience_n iii_o the_o three_o thing_n be_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o trouble_a conscience_n

too_o now_o the_o question_n be_v how_o do_v they_o differ_v i_o answer_v 1._o that_o trouble_n in_o the_o conscience_n of_o wicked_a man_n be_v accompany_v with_o impenitency_n and_o sometime_o with_o blasphemy_n i_o will_v i_o be_v able_a to_o resist_v god_n say_v francis_n spira_n like_o those_o in_o the_o revelation_n who_o blaspheme_v god_n because_o of_o their_o torment_n sometime_o it_o be_v accompany_v with_o curse_n as_o isai_n 8.21_o sometime_o with_o infinite_a murmur_a but_o in_o god_n child_n it_o be_v not_o so_o when_o their_o conscience_n be_v trouble_v they_o justify_v

that_o the_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n in_o the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o in_o the_o wicked_a do_v much_o differ_v in_o this_o first_o respect_n 2._o the_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n in_o the_o wicked_a arise_v only_o from_o the_o apprehension_n of_o god_n wrath_n and_o fear_n of_o judgement_n for_o sin_n not_o for_o the_o sin_n itself_o and_o from_o the_o love_n of_o holiness_n but_o that_o

of_o conscience_n in_o the_o wicked_a never_o make_v they_o part_n with_o sin_n never_o breed_v a_o hatred_n of_o sin_n in_o they_o but_o that_o in_o god_n child_n do_v true_a it_o be_v that_o a_o

not_o obedient_a indeed_o not_o humble_v indeed_o not_o reform_v indeed_o what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v obedient_a indeed_o you_o may_v see_v exod._a 23.22_o but_o if_o thou_o shall_v indeed_o obey_v

this_o be_v a_o upright_a conscience_n when_o the_o heart_n be_v bend_v to_o obedience_n in_o all_o thing_n a_o example_n we_o meet_v with_o in_o paul_n 23.1_o act_n 23.1_o i_o have_v live_v in_o all_o good_a conscience_n before_o god_n until_o this_o day_n his_o conscience_n can_v not_o accuse_v he_o of_o any_o root_n of_o wickedness_n and_o corruption_n allow_v and_o cherish_v in_o he_o that_o be_v a_o upright_a conscience_n have_v thou_o such_o a_o conscience_n as_o this_o my_o conscience_n can_v true_o bear_v witness_n there_o be_v no_o sin_n i_o favour_v myself_o in_o allow_v

when_o the_o king_n command_v they_o to_o worship_v the_o image_n that_o he_o have_v set_v up_o they_o do_v not_o conceive_v themselves_o bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o obey_v they_o will_v rather_o suffer_v torment_n then_o obey_v it_o so_o also_o daniel_n when_o he_o be_v command_v not_o to_o ask_v any_o petition_n of_o god_n for_o thirty_o day_n space_n but_o only_o of_o the_o king_n daniel_n do_v not_o conceive_v himself_o bind_v in_o conscience_n nay_o he_o choose_v rather_o to_o be_v cast_v into_o the_o den_n of_o lion_n then_o obey_v 6.16_o dan._n 6.16_o in_o this_o case_n the_o answer_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v necessary_a who_o when_o they_o be_v command_v not_o to_o preach_v any_o more_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n thus_o they_o answer_v whether_o it_o be_v right_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n to_o obey_v man_n rather_o than_o god_n judge_v you_o 3._o when_o man_n law_n and_o command_n overthrow_v the_o liberty_n of_o christianity_n that_o christian_a liberty_n which_o christ_n have_v purchase_v for_o we_o than_o they_o lose_v their_o power_n of_o bind_v the_o conscience_n but_o here_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o of_o a_o caution_n viz._n that_o this_o liberty_n may_v be_v consider_v in_o a_o double_a respect_n 1._o in_o regard_n of_o itself_o the_o liberty_n itself_o 2._o in_o regard_n of_o the_o exercise_n or_o use_v of_o this_o liberty_n now_o there_o be_v a_o very_a great_a difference_n between_o these_o two_o consideration_n as_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o a_o man_n have_v a_o sword_n and_o a_o man_n wear_v a_o sword_n the_o magistrate_n may_v restrain_v a_o man_n from_o wear_v a_o sword_n at_o such_o or_o such_o a_o time_n though_o he_o do_v not_o take_v his_o sword_n from_o he_o so_o there_o be_v difference_n between_o the_o have_v our_o liberty_n and_o the_o use_v our_o liberty_n there_o be_v a_o liberty_n purchase_v for_o god_n child_n whereby_o all_o thing_n be_v become_v lawful_a unto_o they_o all_o thing_n be_v lawful_a unto_o i_o say_v paul_n 1_o cor._n 6.12_o and_o there_o be_v nothing_o evil_a in_o itself_o 14.14_o rom._n 14.14_o he_o speak_v of_o indifferent_a thing_n god_n child_n be_v free_v from_o the_o observation_n of_o meat_n and_o drink_v and_o time_n and_o garment_n now_o whatsoever_o commandment_n be_v make_v by_o the_o magistrate_n contrary_a to_o this_o liberty_n do_v not_o bind_v conscience_n for_o nothing_o can_v bind_v conscience_n when_o christ_n do_v loose_v it_o yet_o there_o may_v be_v a_o restraint_n of_o the_o use_n of_o this_o liberty_n as_o for_o example_n the_o magistrate_n may_v command_v we_o to_o forbear_v some_o kind_n of_o meat_n at_o some_o certain_a time_n and_o so_o also_o for_o garment_n and_o the_o like_a namely_o when_o the_o doctrine_n about_o meat_n and_o drink_n and_o garment_n be_v pure_a and_o therefore_o in_o such_o a_o case_n the_o command_n of_o the_o magistrate_n bind_v the_o conscience_n otherwise_o not_o 4._o when_o they_o command_v thing_n indifferent_a to_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o make_v they_o idolatrous_a or_o superstitious_a then_o in_o this_o case_n they_o be_v unlawful_a and_o bound_v not_o the_o conscience_n to_o obey_v they_o but_o when_o be_v they_o idolatrous_a i_o answer_v 1._o when_o they_o be_v command_v either_o as_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o christianity_n to_o the_o very_o be_v of_o religion_n and_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o with_o as_o much_o necessity_n as_o holiness_n itself_o than_o they_o be_v make_v superstitious_a and_o idolatrous_a and_o in_o this_o case_n the_o caveat_n of_o st_n john_n be_v strong_o to_o be_v keep_v babe_n 5.21_o 1._o john_n 5.21_o keep_v yourselves_o from_o idol_n 2._o when_o they_o be_v command_v as_o thing_n meritorious_a as_o please_v to_o god_n for_o themselves_o and_o to_o merit_v of_o he_o than_o they_o be_v idolatrous_a 3._o when_o they_o be_v command_v for_o the_o substantial_a perfection_n of_o religion_n as_o though_o religion_n be_v imperfect_a without_o they_o than_o they_o be_v make_v idolatrous_a and_o lose_v their_o virtue_n of_o bind_v the_o conscience_n but_o all_o such_o command_n of_o thing_n that_o be_v indifferent_a which_o be_v command_v without_o respect_n to_o make_v they_o idolatrous_a they_o may_v be_v obey_v this_o be_v our_o second_o conclusion_n 3._o conclusion_n 3._o those_o law_n and_o commandment_n of_o magistrate_n which_o want_v the_o authority_n of_o god_n law_n to_o confirm_v they_o and_o therefore_o bound_v not_o the_o conscience_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v disobey_v for_o all_o that_o with_o scandal_n or_o contempt_n and_o by_o unreverent_a slight_n or_o despise_v the_o magistrate_n or_o his_o law_n he_o must_v be_v acknowledge_v a_o magistrate_n under_o god_n for_o all_o that_o 1._o tim._n 2.1_o 2._o i_o exhort_v that_o supplication_n be_v make_v for_o king_n and_o those_o that_o be_v in_o authority_n he_o speak_v there_o of_o heathen_a king_n yet_o he_o call_v they_o king_n and_o say_v they_o have_v authority_n and_o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v for_o they_o and_o therefore_o how_o much_o more_o when_o king_n and_o magistrate_n subscribe_v to_o christian_a religion_n nay_o though_o they_o command_v that_o which_o be_v utter_o unlawful_a we_o must_v not_o rise_v up_o against_o they_o for_o if_o we_o do_v we_o rise_v up_o against_o god_n we_o must_v obey_v they_o one_o way_n or_o other_o either_o active_o or_o passive_o when_o they_o command_v that_o which_o be_v lawful_a for_o we_o to_o do_v we_o must_v obey_v they_o by_o do_v when_o they_o command_v that_o which_o be_v unlawful_a for_o we_o to_o do_v &_o threaten_v punishment_n than_o we_o can_v active_o obey_v they_o by_o do_v because_o they_o command_v against_o god_n yet_o we_o must_v passive_o obey_v by_o suffering_n and_o submit_v to_o their_o penalty_n because_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v they_o authority_n over_o we_o this_o be_v our_o three_o conclusion_n 4._o conclusion_n 4._o those_o law_n of_o magistrate_n which_o by_o god_n law_n do_v not_o bind_v conscience_n do_v yet_o in_o matter_n of_o scandal_n bound_v we_o to_o obedience_n if_o the_o magistrate_n shall_v command_v any_o thing_n beyond_o his_o power_n to_o command_v yet_o not_o unlawful_a for_o we_o to_o do_v though_o such_o a_o command_n do_v not_o bind_v to_o obedience_n in_o case_n of_o conscience_n yet_o in_o case_n of_o scandal_n it_o do_v thus_o christ_n be_v content_a to_o pay_v tribute_n though_o he_o need_v not_o to_o have_v do_v it_o the_o child_n say_v he_o be_v free_a 17.27_o matth._n 17.27_o nevertheless_o lest_o he_o shall_v offend_v the_o magistrate_n he_o do_v pay_v it_o i_o will_v put_v a_o example_n of_o another_o nature_n in_o a_o private_a wrong_n though_o we_o be_v not_o express_o bind_v to_o it_o yet_o rather_o than_o scandalous_o to_o contend_v conscience_n do_v bind_v we_o to_o yield_v need_v abraham_n to_o have_v condescend_v so_o far_o unto_o lot_n as_o to_o let_v he_o take_v his_o choice_n before_o he_o no_o rather_o than_o scandal_n of_o religion_n shall_v arise_v you_o may_v read_v that_o he_o do_v it_o thus_o i_o have_v brief_o make_v it_o manifest_v how_o far_o the_o command_n of_o the_o magistrate_n do_v not_o bind_v conscience_n and_o how_o far_o they_o do_v objection_n obj._n 1_o 1._o but_o it_o may_v be_v object_v conscience_n have_v only_a relation_n to_o god_n answ_n answ_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a as_o the_o supreme_a and_o absolute_a binder_n of_o conscience_n but_o it_o have_v a_o relation_n also_o unto_o man_n in_o the_o second_o place_n inasmuch_o as_o god_n put_v upon_o man_n such_o term_n as_o conscience_n have_v relation_n to_o act_v 24.16_o herein_o i_o have_v always_o endeavour_v myself_o to_o have_v always_o a_o clear_a conscience_n both_o towards_o god_n and_o towards_o man_n mark_v conscience_n have_v relation_n to_o both_o for_o though_o it_o have_v its_o main_a relation_n to_o god_n and_o his_o word_n yet_o in_o he_o it_o have_v relation_n unto_o man_n obj._n 2_o 2._o again_o it_o may_v be_v reply_v the_o magistrate_n do_v not_o undertake_v nor_o can_v they_o to_o meddle_v with_o man_n invisible_a spirit_n for_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o see_v whether_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n be_v obedient_a or_o no_o and_o therefore_o
