that_o shall_v present_v every_o thing_n that_o be_v amiss_o in_o a_o man_n heart_n or_o life_n but_o it_o be_v defile_v and_o you_o can_v see_v nothing_o by_o it_o sensibleness_n the_o second_o virtue_n in_o this_o act_n of_o conscience_n be_v as_o to_o see_v sin_n clear_o so_o to_o feel_v they_o to_o be_v sensible_a of_o they_o like_o a_o fine_a flesh_n which_o be_v sensible_a of_o the_o

the_o conscience_n and_o in_o some_o it_o have_v lose_v all_o sense_n and_o therein_o you_o may_v see_v the_o corruption_n of_o it_o if_o you_o look_v to_o the_o glass_n and_o there_o find_v swear_v to_o be_v a_o sin_n you_o be_v not_o sensible_a of_o it_o you_o feel_v it_o not_o activeness_n but_o there_o be_v a_o three_o virtue_n wherein_o it_o fail_v more_o than_o in_o these_o two_o it_o shall_v stir_v we_o up_o and_o give_v we_o no_o rest_n till_o it_o have_v constrain_v we_o to_o do_v the_o good_a thing_n god_n command_v and_o restrain_v we_o from_o the_o evil_n he_o forbid_v it_o shall_v awaken_v we_o but_o it_o be_v dull_a and_o sleepy_a stir_v up_o sometime_o good_a purpose_n thereby_o awake_v we_o but_o it_o let_v we_o fall_v asleep_a again_o we_o can_v rest_v in_o sin_n we_o can_v sin_v and_o our_o mind_n be_v quiet_a in_o it_o and_o can_v put_v off_o our_o turn_n to_o god_n this_o be_v a_o great_a corruption_n of_o the_o conscience_n which_o shall_v amaze_v we_o this_o be_v the_o sinfulness_n of_o it_o which_o shall_v persuade_v we_o that_o our_o nature_n be_v full_a of_o all_o unrighteousness_n and_o ungodliness_n excuser_fw-fr last_o of_o all_o the_o

the_o other_o but_o you_o will_v say_v the_o conscience_n be_v ready_a enough_o to_o accuse_v it_o be_v true_a but_o the_o light_n it_o have_v by_o which_o it_o be_v able_a to_o see_v sin_n and_o to_o accuse_v we_o for_o sin_n it_o abuse_v and_o pervert_v to_o a_o wrong_a end_n for_o this_o you_o shall_v find_v in_o the_o conscience_n when_o we_o preach_v the_o law_n and_o the_o conscience_n shall_v join_v with_o we_o to_o accuse_v than_o it_o excuse_n make_v every_o thing_n seem_v small_a and_o little_a and_o again_o when_o we_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o the_o conscience_n shall_v excuse_v than_o it_o accuse_v my_o sin_n be_v so_o great_a and_o many_o that_o there_o be_v no_o mercy_n for_o i_o and_o this_o pervert_n of_o the_o light_n this_o excuse_v when_o it_o shall_v accuse_v and_o this_o accuse_v when_o it_o shall_v excuse_v cause_v we_o declinare_fw-la ictum_fw-la to_o escape_v the_o blow_n of_o law_n and_o gospel_n and_o we_o be_v rob_v of_o the_o fruit_n of_o both_o because_o the_o conscience_n do_v not_o his_o part_n aright_o and_o so_o you_o may_v see_v how_o far_o off_o you_o be_v from_o a_o good_a conscience_n but_o

to_o stand_v on_o nothing_o to_o hold_v by_o to_o sustain_v he_o when_o a_o man_n be_v nothing_o be_v cut_v off_o the_o tree_n he_o grow_v on_o before_o and_o see_v that_o he_o must_v now_o perish_v eternal_o this_o be_v true_a humiliation_n you_o that_o be_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n what_o do_v we_o therein_o but_o offer_v christ_n to_o you_o we_o preach_v christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n
