This New ju!liícation mutt of neceffity be a /unification of confcience, or in it , or terminated in it ; becaufe it is not before God , or in his fight , where the wo Ii1, or the deceived heart the chiefe aecufers he- re , do not compear to accule , & Satans accufing them before God can cau -- fe no trouble to them , until! he come, as an Accufer, before confcience, & give in falfe futnmonds there..
