2.
this
quiet
confcience
in
them mull
needs differ
from
the
quiet
confcience
of
the children
of Cod.
Certainly the
Lord
will not
give
the childrens
bread
unto
dogs
;
neither
will
he fmile
upon
their
foules;
neither doth
he
pardon
the
finnes
nor
ac-
cept the perlons
of
the ungodly
:
And
therefore if
they
have
a
quiet
confcience, it muff needs differ
from
that
in
the
godly.
Muff
not copper
needs differ
from
gold
?
And
we
who are
the
Lords meflengers mull teach you
the
difference
:
They
'hall
teach
my people
the
difference
between the
holy
and
the profaine.
Now
the quellion
is
this, Wherein
lyech
the
difference
between
the quiet
confcience
of
the righteous and
the
quiet
confcience
of
the
wicked
?
An(zr.
The
difference
between them
lye
th
in
foute
things
:
i.
In
the thing it
fell;
a.
In
the
caufe
;
3.
In
.
the
effe&
;
4.
In
the
continuance.
I,
In
the thing
it felfe.
The quiet
confcience
in
the
godly
is
double; not
onely
apparentiall
and
nominal,
but
reall
and
fubflantiall
:
it
is
quiet and
quiet too,
peace and
peace
too:
I
create
the
fruit
of
the lips,
peace, peace.
Mark
;
peace
and
peace
too
;
peace in
appearance,
and peace in
truth
and fubitance
allo.
But
the
peace
and quiet
of
confcience which
the wicked
have
is
not
fuck
peace
:
It
is
peace
and no peace
peace
in
ap.
pearance, but no
peace
in
truth.
Their god
is
the god
of
this
world,
and
he
perfwadeth them
they
have
peace
:
But
my
God,,
faith
the
Prophet,fpeaketh
otherwife
:
There
is no
peace to the
wicked
faith
my
god. They
talk

they
have

;
but the
truth.
is,
they cannot
have
true
peace
within
:
for
faith
the Prophet,
.
the
wicked
ù
like the
troubledfea
which cannot refl,whofe waters

So
doth
a
wicked mans confcience
fecret-
ly
cat
up

dirt
in

face
:
His peace
can
onely
be
out-
ward and
apparentiall.

The re
is
a

of

of
