his
Word
continually,
and
this I labour
to
do more
and
more, and
I
am
willing
it
should
be
fo,
I
am
not
willing
to
have
the authority of Gods
Word
call
off,
but
I
am
g
ad
that ever God
did difcover
to met
the dreadful
authority
that there
is
in
his
Word.
Secondly, And
then the
next thing
is
the
authority of
confcience;
if
confcience have
any
enlightening,
it
is
that
that
will
difcover very much
of
the
mind of God unto
thee;
there
is
nothing will
difcover
Gods mind more unto
the
heart
of
a
manor
woman,
than an enlightened
confcience,
and
it
will
difcover
it
with power; a
Minifter (peaks,
and
his words
many times vanifh
in
the Air , but
when con
-
fcience comes
to
difcover
Gods mind,
it
comes wirh
power,
and
fpeaks
particularly to
this
foul,
and the
other
foul,
and
confcience (when
it
hath
light)
will
bee
pleading
of
Gods
caufe,
and admonifhing and
'plucking the
foul
out of
the
waies
ofdeath
and
perdition,
and
it
will not:eafily
bee put
off; you
may
eafily
put
off
the counfels
of
fuch
and
filch
friends, but
confcience
will
not
eafily bee
put
off,
it
will
come with
fuch
majefty
upon the heart
of
a
(inner
,
that
there
is
no
gain-faying
of
it confcience will
not
regard
the
vain ihifts that people
have,
but
frill
comes
in
a
command-
ing
power
:
Oh keep the authority
of
confcience
,
many
men
and women,
becaufe they
cannot
goon
.freely in
the
waies
-of
fin,
where
.
confcience and
the
word_
have
much
authority
over
them;
therefore they
feek
to
caft off
the
au-
thority of
the
word
and
confcience
;
but
know
this
for
a
truth,
that that
foul
that::hath
call off the authority
of
the
word-and confcience, isgoing apace to
Hell, is
going
apace
to.deltrudion;
All the while the
`r
word
and.confcience
kept
thee under,
thou
wert
in
fomefotwardnefs
towards, the
way
of
life, but
:
if
thou
haft
once
cali off
that,
then
Oh
how
Both
the
foul:
grow
hardened in
fin
t
how eafily
are
the
truths
of
:God

and
tiren

oh,
if
there
