of
C'onfciettce,
have
true
peace.
If
our endeavours
be
not acceptable, our
confcience
will quickly
heare
of
it,
and tell
us
lb
Ifwe
pray
coldly, or
heare
unprofitably,
or
live
loofely,
if
we do
not
do
that
which
is
acceptable
to
God,
our
consciences
will
íóon
complain.
Nay
though we
do do the duties,
if
we do
not
do
them
in
an
acceptable manner,
confcience
will
have

.
This acceptablenefíe
of
obedience lieth
in
this,
when
our
obedience
is
fincere,
univerfall, and
totali,
and
proceeding from
the
fpirit
of
Chrifl Jefus dwelling
in
us.
The
Apoflle
giveth it
this
phrafe,
When we
walk,
not
after
the
flefh
but
after
the Spirit,

That
is
our fulfilling
the
law,
when
Chrifl
hath fulfilled the
law
for
us,
and
maketh
us
fincerely
to
walk
by
it,
not
after
the fle!h
but
after the
Spirit
:
when we
do
not
favour
our
felves in
one
tuft, nor
fuffer
our
(elves
in
any beloved finne
;
but
whatever
it
be
Chet
is
evil,
our
confcience
can
fay we
truly
do hate
it
and labour to avoid it
;
whatever
it
be
that
is
commanded
us,
be it never
fo
contrary
to
our nature, yet our
confcience can fay
we
fincerely
fec
our
fèlves
to do
it.
So
walking
not
after
the flefh
but
after
the
Spirit,
this
is
Cncerity
of
obedience, and
this
is
required
unto
peace.

This
fincerity
of
obedience
maketh
us
to bewail our
very infirmities, and
be
to
be
humbled
for
them
:
not onely to
be
humbled
for
greater
fnnes, but alió to
be
humbled
for
our
infirmities.
If
we
be
not foundly
humbled
for
our
very
in-
firmities all'o, they
will
hinder the peace
of
our
confcience
:
We
can have
no
peace
except
our
confcience
can
witnefife
that
our infirmities do humble
us
and drive
us
to
Chrifl
and
caufè
us
to
fùe
out
a
pardon.
If
confcience
have
not
a
pardon felled for
infirmities

it
will not
be
at
peace.
Chilli

our
very
infirmities
:
therefore
we mull
be
humbled
for
them, and go
to
him for
pardon
of
them
too,
or
confcience
will not
bee at
peace.
