12 There followeth sin, in the immovable and perpetual order of Gods judgement, an evil conscience which is the knowledge and dislike which we have in our mind of our own sin, and the knowledge of the judgement of God against sin, and that proceeding out of the knowledge of Gods Law, upon which ensueth the fear of the wrath of God and punishment, according to the order of gods justice, and a flying and hatred of God who destroyeth sin, which is the beginning of desperation, and eternal torments, except it be cured by the comfort of the gospel. Rom. 2. The gentiles show the effect of the Law written in their harts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts accusing one another, or excusing. And Isaiah: There is no peace to the wicked.
