The Morning exercise [at] Cri[ppleg]ate, or, Several cases of conscience practically resolved

Now a man may by diligent enquiry find out his be•oved sin,¹ and he may know, and his conscience may bear him witness of his willingness to part with this, to have it subdued, and that by the grace of God he doth keep himself from it, that it bears not rule, nor dominion in his soul. Psalm. 18.23. I was also upright before him. How doth David manifest this, by the observation of his heart, and ways in this particular, for it followeth, and I kept my self from mine iniquity; There is as much power of God required, and strength of grace to make a man part with his beloved sin, as all the rest. Thus Hezekiah knew his sincerity; Isa. 38.3. He had the testimony of his conscience, and was sure of it, else how could he have made his appeal to God? Remember now, oh Lord, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth, and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight.
