This extent of a good conscience respecteth rather the integrity of the heart, then the perfection of the work: for perfection of the work is a full and perfect fulfilling of all the commandments of God, whereunto none can attain in this world.
This extent of a good conscience respecteth rather the integrity of the heart, then the perfection of the work: for perfection of the worke is a full and perfect fulfilling of all the commandements of God, whereunto none can attaine in this world.
Integrity of heart is a true and equal endeavour to perform them all, and that though they seem never so contrary to our corrupt humour: for herein lieth a main difference betwixt Faith unfeigned and hypocritical. The lusts of an hypocrite rule him, & prevail over his Faith: sin such things as cross not his lusts, he can be content to obey, but no further: loath he is to try himself: he endureth not that any other should try him.
