The Second Rule.
Secondly, If you would get your Conversations in Heaven, Labour to keep a clear conscience, keep a Heaven in your conscience. Those men that do fully and defile their consciences, they lose their intercourse with Heaven, and indeed, the presence of the God of Heaven is tedious to them, they be loth to go into his presence when once they have defiled consciences, If there be a Hell in a mans conscience, there will not be a Heaven in his Conversation., but let men and women labour to keep conscience clean, and a Heaven there, and then there will be a Heaven in their Conversations.
