Con
f
cieno,
on
your
own
heads
:
It
were
better for
you
that
a
milflone
were
hung about your
necks,
and
ye
thrown
into
the
ièa,
then
tlsat
ye
fhould
offend
one
of
thete
little
ones.
Ye may call
them
what
ye
will
;
call them
Poritanes,
precifians,
unchari-
table
people,
cenfurcrs
:
ye
may call them
as
Satan
teaclieth
you to
call them :
but
it
is
certain,
it
were
better
a
milflone
were
hung about your
neck,
and
ye
thrown
into the
fea,
then
that
ye
lhould

of

The

Lathy,
be exhorted, brethren,
to labour
after
a
good
confcience.
How
excellent a
thing
is
it
that
path
fo
many
good
ingredients
!
Illumination
is
one
ingredient, and Faith
is
another, and Tenderneffe another, and
Pureneffe
another, and
Quietueffe another,
and the
Bloud
of
Jefús
Chriti
another.
It
is
like Aarons
compofition
which
i'melt
fweetly when
he
went
into the
San
&uarie
:
It
is
compounded
of
excellent
con
-
ditions,
fuch as
finell tweet when
we
come
before
God
:
the
Lord loveth that
fuch
should
come
near
him.
We
may come
with
affurance
to
fpeed
if
we
come
with
a
good
confcience
;
Let
us
draw near with
affurance
of faith,
having
our
hearts
fprinkled
from
an
evil
confcience.
Mark
;
we may
draw
near
with
affurance
if
we come
with
a
good
confcience.
It
will
comfort us in
all
troubles, and fupport
us in
all
dangers
:
It
maketh
us
happie
:
nay,
there
is
no
happines
without
it.
It
will
make
us
with
quietneffe and
contentedneffeof
fpirit
un-
dergo
whatever
it
(hall
pleafe
God
to lay upon
us.
How
can
they want comfort
that
have
this
?
It
is
a
fpring
of
comfort
within them.
Phis
will
remain
with
us
when
all
other
com-
forts
will
forfake
us
:
When
friends
fail, and
elate
faileth,
when
credit
and health and ffrength and all
far!,
then
a
good
confcience,
if
we have it,
will
fpeak
peace
to
us, yea and
it
will
ef1eet
it
in
us, comfort us,
and
fallen
comfort
upon
us.
Friends
may
fpeak words
of
còmfòrt and
peace
to
us;
but
it
may
be
we
are
not
able
to
receive
it
:
the
M

preach
peace
;
but
it may
be
we
are
not
able to
take
it
