THE DEMAND OF A good Conscience.THE DEMANDE OF A good Conscience.
Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
To come more particularly to the words: some will have it, the Questioning, the 1Demand of a good Conscience: but that follows the other. For when we answer truly the interrogatories in Baptism, when ⟨p. 183⟩we believe and renounce, then we may from a good conscience demand of God, all the good in Christ: we may call upon him, & pray unto him, hath not Christ died, and made peace between thee, and us? And may we not triumph against all enemies when there is the answer of a good Conscience? If Satan lay any thing to our charge, Christ died, and rose, and sits at the right hand of God. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods people? We may (with a heart sprinkled with the blood of Christ now ascended into heaven) answer all objections; and triumph against all enemies, we may go boldly to God; and demand the performance of his promises.
