treat

fe

of

Confcience.

in

his

own

bloud,

confcience

is

freed

from

that former

:

Rom.3.

28.

Therefore we

conclude

that

a

man

is

juf

i

fled

by

faith

without

the

deeds

of

the

law.

For

though juttifying

faith never

be

without

the

fincere

doing

oft

he

law,

yet the deeds

of

the

law

have

no

influence into

jut#ification

:

Conf4ience

is

freed

from

fèeking

juflificatton thereby.

Thirdly,

the

confcience

of

the

regenerate

is

freed

from

the

rigour

of

the

law.

They

are

bound

in confcience

to

ufe

the

law

as a

rule

oftheir

life,

and

in

(inceritie

to

obey

is

;

but

are not

bound by the

gospel to

the rigour

of

it

:

that

they are

freed

from and

fb

they

are

not

under the

law

but under

grace.

J

grant that all cárnall people,

who are

yet

out

of

Cimt.,

do

all

he under

the rigour

of

the

law

:

and

as

long

as

they fubmit

not

to

Jefus Chrift, nor

get into

him, they

are bound

in

confcience

to

keep

it,

though

they

cannot

:

"They

cannot

finne

in

one

tittle,

but

confcience

will

condemne

them

before

God.

They

(hall

be condemned for

every

vain

thought,

for every idle

word,

for every

the leafl

finne,

for

every

the

leaf+

lull,

for

any

the

leaf+

omiffìon

of

good. They

lie

under the

ri-

gour

of

the

law,

and they

are bound

in

confcience to keep

it,

and they

(hall

be

countable

for every

tranigreffion,

becaufe

they

are under

the

law.

But the

conicienc;,

of

the regenerate

is

free

from this rigour, becaufe they

are

under grace,

and therefore

they

are

delivered

from

the law

':

The

Lord

bath

delivered them

by the body

of

Chrift;

and therefore

they

are

not bound

by

the

gofpel

to

all that obedience

that

the

law

in

rigour requireth.

Fourthly,

the

confcience

of

the regenerate

is

freed

from the

ctttfeof

the

morali

law.

For

though

the

law

Both

condemne,

yet their confcience needeth

not

fear it

becaufe

they

are

in

Chriff

:

There

is

no

condemnation to

thole

that

aNe

in

('hrig

3efus,

which walk,not

after

the fie

112

but

after

the

fpirit.

Indeed

thofe

that

are

not regenerate, not ingraf

ed

into Chrift, they

are

ílill

in

toe

mouth

of

the

gunshot

:

the

law

loth

condemne

them, and they have

no filcher, and their

confcience

is

bound

by

it

;

and they

!hall

find one

day

that

by

it

their confcience

will

cond

erne

them

to

hell.

It

may

be

now

for the

prefenc

their

confcience

is

quiet,

ar,d they choke

it,

and

fo it
