not_o see_v what_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n it_o remain_v therefore_o that_o there_o be_v a_o spiritual_a substance_n most_o wise_a most_o holy_a most_o mighty_a that_o see_v a_o i_o thing_n to_o who_o conscience_n bear_v record_n and_o that_o be_v god_n himself_o let_v atheist_n bark_v against_o this_o as_o long_o as_o they_o will_v they_o have_v that_o in_o they_o which_o will_v

special_a providence_n the_o master_n of_o a_o prison_n be_v know_v by_o this_o to_o have_v care_n over_o his_o prisoner_n if_o he_o send_v keeper_n with_o they_o to_o watch_v they_o and_o to_o bring_v they_o home_o again_o in_o time_n convenient_a and_o so_o god_n care_n to_o man_n be_v manifest_a in_o this_o that_o when_o he_o create_v man_n and_o place_v he_o in_o the_o world_n he_o give_v he_o conscience_n to_o be_v his_o keeper_n to_o follow_v he_o always_o at_o the_o heel_n &_o to_o dog_n he_o as_o we_o say_v &_o to_o pry_v into_o his_o action_n &_o to_o bear_v witness_n of_o they_o all_o three_o hence_o we_o may_v observe_v god_n goodness_n and_o love_n to_o man_n if_o he_o do_v any_o thing_n amiss_o he_o set_v his_o conscience_n first_o of_o all_o to_o tell_v he_o of_o it_o sec●edy_n if_o then_o he_o amend_v god_n forgive_v it_o if_o not_o then_o afterward_o conscience_n must_v open_o accuse_v he_o for_o it_o at_o the_o bar_n of_o god_n judgement_n before_o all_o the_o saint_n and_o angel_n in_o heaven_n the_o second_o work_n of_o conscience_n be_v to_o give_v judgement_n of_o thing_n do_v to_o give_v judgement_n be_v to_o determine_v that_o a_o thing_n
