For Conscience, the Hebrews ordinarily make use of two words, viz. [Heart] and [Spirit] [Heart] in Prov. 4.23. Keep thy Hearti, i. e. keep thy Conscience with all diligence; and so in the New Testament, 1 John 3 20. If our Heartk, i. e if our Conscience condemn us. [Spirit] in Pro. 18.14. A wounded Spiritl, i. e. a wounded Conscience who can bear, and so in the New Testament, 1 Cor. 2.11. What knoweth the things of a man, save the Spirit mof man, i. e. the Conscience of Man that is in him. But in English (as also in the Greekn, and Latino whence we borrow it) 'tis called [Conscience] knowledge with another, which excellently sets forth the Scriptural nature of it, as Job 16.19. My witness is in heaven, and Rom. 9 1. I say the truth — my Conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost. In both places, q.d. God witnesseth with my Consciencep. Conscience is placed in the middle, under God, and above manq. I will close this with Brochmand's description of Consciencer, to be a kind of silent reasoning of the Mind, whose definitive sentence is received by some affection of the Heart, whereby those things which are judged to be good and right, are approved of with delight, but those things which are evil and naught, are disapproved with grief and sorrow, God hath placed this in all men, partly to be a judgement and testimony of that integrity to which man was at first created, and of that corruption that followed sin; partly that God may have a Tribunal erected in the breasts of me, to accuse delinquents, and to excuse those that do what is good and right.
