A good conscience I call that, which beareth record to us, that we do well in all things, and therefore are to be rewarded; whereof our Saviour speaketh, John 8. 29. The Father hath not left me alone, because I do always the things that are pleasing to him, called therefore good; because telling us we do well in all things, it assureth us of good. The fruit of this good conscience, is perpetual joy and comfort, as the ^fWiseman saith, A good conscience is a continual Feast. And therefore this is, as it were, the gate that leadeth into the possession of the promised happiness.
