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.
Hence comes all the spirit of boldness, in prayer, from the answer of a good Conscience: for that draws all other after it. Now to come more particularly to the words, The answer of a good Conscience: It would take up all the time to speak of Conscience in general, and it were not to much purpose. I will 1take it as it serves my purpose at this time. A good conscience in this place, is a Conscience peaceable and gracious, peace and purity make up a good Conscience. To make this clearer, there be three degrees of a good Conscience, (though the last be here meant especially) There is first a good Conscience that is troubled, a troubled good Conscience, and then 2a pacified good Conscience, and then a gracious good Conscience.
