Seas nor from above nor from beneath for all have the work of this law even the heathen written in the heart which is witnessed by the light that shines in the conscience He that walks according to the law in his Conscience he is excused He that transgresseth the law in his conscience hee is accused and condemned and so in every mans heart the work of the law being written in every mans conscience God hath a witnesse that the Law is just and good and that the punishment is just and equall Here every transgressour becomes guilty before God and every mans punishment being just every mans mouth comes to be stopped and the righteous law of God in every mans conscience justified The Law of God is perfect and endures for ever and changeth not which is the same against all Nations Languages Kindreds and People which is witnessed by the Conscience which is the same in all Nations Languages Kindreds and people The Law of God respects no mans person but is the same against every one that transgresseth whether King Noble or beggar that in the conscience is the same in King Noble and Beggar and shewes that of one mould and one blood God hath made all Nations of the earth the King the Noble and the beggar here God is just who respects no mans person the law of God is just which respects no mans person and that in the conscience is just which witnesses the law which respects no mans person here is the ground of justice the law of God here is the ground of true judgment that in the conscience which leaves witnesse to the law in every one and as is the transgression so is the law every transgression is judged by the law so is every transgression condemned by that in the conscience the law of God was and is the same and hath continued in all ages and doth endure for ever that in the conscience is the same in all ages and changeth not but doth endure for ever he that sinnes against the law that in the conscience bears witnesse to the law and by that in the conscience he is accused and condemned and so his mouth is stopped and here all the world becomes guilty before God The law of God is made already which was added because of transgression and changeth not he that acts according to the Law is justified by the Law and ever was and through the law he becomes dead to the law and is excused by that in his conscience and ever shall be here God is judge and Law giver to all whose judgments are just and righteous who hath placed a witnesse in all vvho will judge every one according to their works out of the book written in the conscience he that makes lawes with the Law of God which is made already he is judged and with that in his conscience which bears witnesse for God he is condemned he that turns from the law of God to obey the law of man had rather serve man then God and so with the law of God and that in his conscience he is judged and condemned from God He that is a Minister of God ordained by God executes the law of God which is perfect which is witnessed by that of God in every mans conscience and to him the soul is subject for conscience sake but he that makes and executes a law which is not the law of God hath no witnesse in the conscience for God that his law is just that his punishment is equal and so they who witnesse onely the law of God witnesse against him and his law and cannot obey him for conscience sake he that is the Minister of God and executes the law of God is a servant to God and judgeth for God sets not up himself in the place of God but gives all honour to God whose judgements are just and by turning his sword against all unrighteousnesse declares the righteousnesse of God and is a terrour to evil doers and without respect of persons executes the law upon him that doth evil and here he is witnessed by that which is of God in every ones conscience to be just and the punishment received as from God whose law he executes who is just and so every man being condemned in himselfe his mouth is stopped no envy against the person raised but the righteous God the judge and law-giver of the world in his righteousnesse cleared and exalted The law of God is perfect and endures for ever and changeth not that in the conscience is perfect and endures for ever and changeth not All lawes which are not perfect which endure not for ever and do change are temporal and carnal and with the law of God which is spiritual are judged and their makers condemned The law of God respects no mans person all lawes which doe respect persons and are not against all sorts of persons alike are contrary to the law of God and they that make them and they that execute them are in the law condemned and convinced as transgressours The law of God is witnessed by that in the conscience all laws which have not their witnesse in the conscience are made by the will of man which is contrary to the law of God and cannot be obeyed for conscience sake by them who witnesse the law of God The law of God is just and equal life for life a tooth for a tooth an eye for an eye that law which is not equal and just is against the law of God and dishonours God whose wayes are the wayes of righteousnesse and all who inflict punishments that are not according to the offence set up their owne wills against the law of God he that takes away life for the creatures is a murtherer and the blood shall be upon his head The law of God is equal and that in the conscience cryes for equity according to the law of God that law whose ground and foundation is not equity but needs a court of equity to mitigate its cruelty is tyranny and is witnessed against by that in the conscience to be contrary to God and against the righteous law of God which is holy and just and must be throwne down and all that go about to uphold it To do unto others as they would have them do unto thee this is 〈◊〉 this is equal and equity and herein is fulfilled the whole law He that executes a law made 〈◊〉 ●he will of man to which that in the conscience doth not beare witnesse that 〈◊〉 according to the law of God is not the Minister of God but is condemned by the law of God and that in his owne conscience to act his owne will He that makes lawes which have not a witnesse in the conscience that they are according to the law of God and he that executes those lawes are the enemies of God who would not have him to reigne and against such have the servants of God been sent alwayes to declare and against such hath the wrath of the Lord alwayes been revealed overturning nations and kingdomes that his owne law might be set up He that makes laws and they that execute those laws which are not the law of God to which that in the conscience beares witnesse set themselves in the place of God to overthrow the law of God to set up their owne wills these are heathens in what nation soever they dwell and these shall answer for all the injuries wrongs and false judgements that are executed and inflicted And now is the righteous law-giver the judge of the whole earth arising in his wrath to be avenged of all his enemies who will not have him to rule and reigne of whose kingdome and dominion there shall be no end He that makes a law against that in the conscience which is pure and holy makes a law against God and he that exe●●●seth that law for gifts and rewards his heart is in the earth for selfe ends and in the same carnal nature with the Priests who preach for hire and with the light which is free which is the gift of God not to be bought and sold for money he is to be condemned and with the life of all the judges and holy men of God he is eternally judged A. P. FINIS London Printed for Giles Calvert at the Black-spread-Eagle at the West end of Pauls 1654.
