The thrid reafon is taken from the Lords manner ofjudg- ing the godly. He will judge them and ablòlvethetn feciendkm allegata &' probata, as we 1áy, according to the word and their own conlcieuces. Ye may fee the true form of judgement which the Lord will go by, Matth. a;. Wier; the Lord con- vinceth the whole world who were righteous and who not, who to be judged to p.inilhment, and who to life for ever ; at lati he concludeth, Thewicked [hallgo away into everlafiing Fulfillment, but the rigloteons into _lafaeternall. As if he had laid, Tour confcienees can fay ye are wicked : ye did not feed, nor clotbe,nor wilt me : Go your wayes tohell. So for the righ- teous ; Tour confcien`es can fay ye are righteous : Goye tohea- ven. Thus the Lord will do. Now this could not be ifconfci- ence could not inform every one that is godly that he is Co : If conscience could not witne,?e what eflate they are in, this could, .not be. Thus ye fee the truthofthe firft thing. II, The second that J promised to f94ew you is, How con- fctenee doth this. Ye have heard that it is able to inform every one what eflase he is in before God Now it followeth tocon- Çider, How conscience doth it. This it doth by comparing the word of God with our hearts, and our hearts with the word : . As for example ; They who have refpeEl to all Gods command- ments (hall never be ajhamed, faith the word : But faith con- fctence, J defare to know all my dutie to God andman, and to perform all that)* know : and therefore Khali not be afhamed. To. him that foweth rrghteotafnreffe jhal' be afore reward, faith the word : Bett.. filth cor,ícience, plough up my nature and al the fallow - ground of my heart, and Ifow rrghteoufnef"e : and therefore to me 'hall be A fore reward. So, T. be fpiritually minded is life and peace, faith theword ; But, faith conscience, r srsts fpiritua sly minded ; my mind is fet upon things that are fpiritutall : therefore I have life andpeace.
