either
it
is

elle
is
loon
anfwered
and
$,
rebuked
;
as
it
was
with
Mores
:
When
Pharaoh would never
hearken
unto
Mores,
but
Hill
fell
to
excufes,
and
at
laff
to
de,
ny
all,
he
would
not
let
lfrael

notwithffanding
all
that
.Mfes'could urge,
but
Paid
to
Mofes,
Get thee

;

;
Moires

Thou haft

willfee thy
face

is
with
confcience;
When
men have
been
obffinate,
and
have
refufed
to
hear ir, and
would
have it (peak no
more.
Thou

(pokrn,

I
will
trouble
you

but
let
you alone to
take

courre:
I
willadvire
you

or
if
I
do,
T

not
be
any
more
importunate.
4,
A
fourth
caufe
is,
that
men
do
wilfully
flop the
mouth
of
confcience
:
If
it beginneth
to
fpeak,
prefently
they
bulge
them
-
felves
about
other
things
;
or
if that
will
not do, they
run
into
company,
and
there
fpend
their
time,
that
the
howlings
of
confcience may
not
be
heard
;
and
if
f
}ill
it
be
loud, they {hike
up
the
drum,
and
ring
all
the
bels,
that
the
voice
of
it
may
be
utterly drowned
;
and
fo
confcience
at
laff
is
content
to
Rand
by,
to
heare and
fee
and
fay
nothing.
By
this
means many
times
it
falleth out that thofe
who
have
had
very
turbulent
and
clamorous confiiences
not
futfering
them
to
be
quiet,
have
at
!aft
tamed them
and
put
them quite
to
filence
;
or
if
they
do
fpeak, it
is
fo
coldly and
remiffely
that
they
care
not
whether
they
be
obeyed
or
no.
Ohthefe
are damnable and
de-
villsíh devices
!
Whoever
ye be
that
do thus,
ye
are
in
a
dange_
gerous
eftate,
and
ye
carry the
brands
of
hell
and
damnation
upon
you.
If
ever
you delire
to
avoid
this
dangerous
efface,
then
fhun
the
caufe
:
Labour
to
have
your
confcience
throughly
illightned
and
informed
by
the
Word
of
God,
that
it
may
read
you
your
duty.
A
friend
that
knoweth
but
little
can give but
little
counfel. Again,
give
heed
evermore
to
the
counfel
of
confcience.
You know
Achitophel
took
it
ill
that
his counfel
was
not
followed
;
therefore
he
made away himfelf
in
dii-
pleafure
:
So confcience will
take
it
very
ill
if
its counfel be
not
followed
