in_o wisdom_n he_o have_v found_v they_o all_o why_o shall_v we_o suspect_v and_o mistrust_v it_o here_o we_o may_v much_o rather_o conclude_v that_o he_o who_o have_v give_v instinct_n to_o bird_n beast_n fish_n proper_a and_o useful_a for_o the_o preservation_n of_o themselves_o from_o mischief_n have_v place_v conscience_n in_o the_o immortal_a part_n of_o man_n for_o the_o same_o end_n namely_o to_o forewarn_v he_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o tend_v to_o his_o eternal_a ruin_n let_v no_o one_o then_o despise_v these_o involuntary_a throbbing_n and_o recoiling_n of_o his_o heart_n upon_o the_o irregularity_n of_o his_o conversation_n they_o be_v not_o the_o product_n of_o a_o childish_a or_o artificial_a superstition_n but_o the_o prognostic_n of_o a_o real_a danger_n how_o else_o shall_v come_v such_o consternation_n in_o our_o mind_n at_o thing_n so_o agreeable_a to_o our_o inclination_n if_o our_o spirit_n upon_o such_o occasion_n speak_v not_o good_a thing_n concern_v we_o but_o evil_a it_o be_v but_o what_o they_o have_v first_o receive_v from_o the_o lord_n if_o they_o accuse_v and_o cast_v we_o whatsoever_o they_o bound_v on_o earth_n be_v bind_v in_o

god_n be_v great_a than_o our_o heart_n and_o know_v all_o thing_n in_o which_o word_n here_o be_v two_o practical_a truth_n to_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o the_o one_o be_v suppose_v and_o this_o be_v that_o we_o can_v but_o disapprove_v of_o ourselves_o when_o we_o take_v to_o and_o go_v on_o in_o any_o sinful_a course_n our_o own_o heart_n forbear_v not_o to_o condemn_v we_o for_o they_o the_o other_o be_v assert_v and_o this_o be_v that_o if_o our_o heart_n do_v condemn_v we_o so_o long_o as_o we_o abide_v in_o that_o state_n we_o can_v expect_v nothing_o but_o to_o be_v condemn_v of_o

sometime_o for_o the_o conscience_n so_o eccles_n 7.22_o thou_o own_o heart_n know_v also_o that_o thou_o thyself_o have_v curse_v other_o and_o in_o this_o last_o acceptation_n you_o be_v to_o take_v it_o here_o that_o our_o heart_n condemn_v we_o that_o be_v in_o the_o hebrew_n way_n of_o speak_v which_o st._n john_n use_v and_o have_v no_o precise_a peculiar_a word_n for_o it_o our_o

abide_v so_o also_o it_o be_v as_o natural_a to_o we_o as_o that_o be_v be_v indeed_o but_o the_o maxim_n and_o the_o use_n of_o it_o the_o whole_a element_n of_o fire_n may_v as_o soon_o be_v
