is
Gods
book. Now
no
creature can
adde to
Gods book
or
diminifh
from
it.
Ye may remember

of

:
And
if
any

Goof`,
God
fsall
take
away

part

of
the
book,
of

Now
conicience
is
alro
Gods
book
,N'
herein
his
law
is
written.,
Nay,
conicience
is
called
God
law
:
For
is
is
fad,
that
when
the
Gentiles which
have
not
the law
do
the
things
contained in
Rom.:al...
the law,
they
having
sot
the
law
are
a law
unto
theinfelves
that
is,
Their
coiafcience
is
Gods law,
unto them. Like
as
the
Bible conteineth
Gods law
for us
Chrif}ians,
fo
did their confci-
cnces
concein
the
law
of
God
to them
:
yea, to
us
Chriftians
much rather
:
For we
are
not to
let Gods law
be
written
one
-
ly
in
our
Bibles,
but
we muff
get
it
written
in
our
confciences
:
our
confciences are
to
be
Gods
books wherein
his
laws
arc
to
be
written.
And therefore
if
it
be a (inne
to
adde
a
new
law
in
the materials
book to
bind men,
then
it
mutt
needs
be
a
Panne
for any creature
to
put
a new
law
into conicience, which
is
the
fpiriruall book
of
God.
It
is
God
onely
who
can
wri,e laws
in
this
book
:
his
book
is
above
all
the
laws
in
t1
e
world;
and none
but
God
can
put
in and
put out
:
and
therefore
none
but
he
can bind confcience.
J
fpeak
fill
of
this
abfolute and
fupreme
bond
of
conicience For
Magiffrates
may bind re-
latively
but
not
as
they
are their
1
ws,
but
by
the
law
of
Jod
before
made.
This ye
fee
the
neceffity
of
this
truth,
That
Gods
law
is
the abfolute
atad
fupreme
bond ofcvntcience.
T.
This ferveth
to

how to

confciences
