Confcience.

And

I

never

:

When

ye hear

there and

ofa

carnali

eftate,

And

there

or

fine

of

thefe are in

roe, faith there

marks

confcience

?

do

not your

conferences

interline

in

this

man-

ne

?

As

Paul

was ¡peaking to

t1_e

fhipmen

concerning

God,

his

conicrenee did

fv°veetly

interline thus,

?There

flood

by

me

this

night

,4n

Angel

of

food,

whofe

jam,

faith

his confcience.

And

as

he

was

writing

to

the

Romans

,

Gad

is

my

witndre

,

faith he,

whom

I

ferve

in

my

[pint.

But

do

not your

coniciences

interline

otherwile with you

?

1f

they'do,

J

befeech

you

confiderit

:

Your

conlciences do

then

truly

inform you

of

your

rotten eflates

:

lift=

to

therm.

Secondly,

when

confcience

failed:

a

choking.

As

for

ex-

ample,

in

prayer

:

a

wicked man prayeth

;

But

1

do

not

pray

right,

faith his confcience.

!

humbly

befeech

thee,

O

Lord

:

Nay,

but

J

do

not

befeech

humbly,

faith his

conscience.

J

elejár1

to

be

fanF,ti

fled and

purged

from

my

fins

: Nay.,

but

J

do

not

hunger

after

any

fuck

thing,

faith confcience.

I

de not

cenfeffe my

Ants

right,

nor beg

fin-grace

right. Do

your

coniciences

choke

you

thus

?

Now

your

coniciences

inform you

of

your eflates.

Per-

adventure ye

hardly

perceive

this

choking

at

all

:

It

is

dono

in

a

moment,

and

it

prefently ceafèth,

becaufe ye

are

not

vvil-

lingto

heave it

:

and

therefore

it

may

be

confcience

doch

it by

fudden flafhes.

It

is

laid

the Lordfpaka

fuddenly

to

Mofes

:

f4

often

confcience

fpeaketh

fuddenly to men,

a

word and

away.

As

D

avid

faith

of

the

wicked,

God

'hall

'hoot an arrow

at

there,

and

they

¡hall

be

wounded

on

a

fudden

: So confcience

fhooreth

a

quick.arrow,

and

it

woundetb

men

in

the twinkling

of

an

eye, and it

is

gone. Lord,

have

mercy open

us,

laid

one

:

But

fhould

not

fay

fo vainly

and in ordinary

talk,

faith

confcience.

I

do

not

hate

this

man

for

his

holineffe

and friFlueffe

:

But

you

do,

faith confcience. And

fo

when men

are

defending

evil

by

arguments

;

But

this

is

falfe;

faith confcience.

Thus

confci-

ence

choketh

on

a

fudden,

and

is

gonr

-.
