3. Liber Conscientiae, the book of every mans conscience: this is a book of Record or testimony; not so much of Judicature, as of witness. hIf our heart condemn us, God is greater then our heart, and knoweth all things. There is Conscientiae per•rsa, that doth wholly condemn: there is Conscientiae dubia, that doth neither condemn nor acquit: there is Conscientiae b•e ordinata; such a one had Paul, iI say the truth in Christ, I lye not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the holy Ghost. Every mans conscience beareth witness: but ubi cogitatio non habet quòd accuset, where the thought hath no matter of accusation against a man, that conscience doth bear witness in the holy Ghost. Look well to thy life, for thou bearest about ⟨p. 84⟩thee a book of Testimony, that shall speak either with or against thee.
