When
two
live ever
together
they
had
need
not
offend
one
another;
elfe
there
will
be
no quiet
:
You
and your
confciences
mutt ever
live
together:
if
ye offend
them,ye are
like
to
have
very
ill
lives.
Better
live
with
a
curil fcold, then
live
with
an
offended confcience
;
ye had
better
offend
the
whole
world then
offend confcience.
There
are none whom
ye are
always
to
live
with
;
but
confcience
ye are
always
to
live wish.
Ye
are
not
always
to
live
with
your husbands,
nor
always
with
your
wives,
nor
always
with your parents
or
mailers', there
is
a
time when
you
mutt
part,
but confcience
and
you
will
never
part
:
Therefore
labour
to
keep it void
of
offence.
And thus
much
of the

Propofition II.
The light
that
Confcience
atleth
by, is
knowledge.
THis
knowledge
is
twofold;
T.
Of
Gods
law.

Of
Our
felves.
I.
The
knowledge
of
Gods
law.
To
know
Gods
will what
is
good, what
is
bad
;
what
God
commandeth, what
he
for.
biddeth.
Every man
under
heaven
hath this
law
of
God
in
fome
meafure
writ
in
his
confcience.
I
confeffe,
Gods
chil-
1
dren
only
know Gods
law
to
purpofe,
as
it
is
a
light
to
guide
them in.the way
of
falvation
:
but all
the
world
have fome mea-
fure
of
knowledge, whereby they
may
gather
that
there
is
a
God,
and
that
he
ought
to
be
worfhipped
and obeyed, and
that
he
hath
power
over
life
and death.
All
the
world
have
knowledge
in fome
meafure, what
is
good,
and
what
is
not,
what
is
to
be
done
and
what
not,
what
is
according
to
confci-
ence and
what
not
:
All
the
world
have
this
knowledge
in
fome meafure; I
do
not
fay,
enough
for falvation, but
enough
to
make
them-
inexcufable
before
God
for
not
following
that
light,
and
not
living
according
to
that
knowledge
which they
have.
If
there
were not
fome
light
in this
behalf, fome
know-
ledge
of
the
law
of
God
in
every
man,
confcience could
do
no
thing.
