Secondly, A secure conscience, which thinks not of any penal evil.
Secondly, A secure conscience, which thinkes not of any penall evill.
Thirdly, A dull, lazy, sleepy conscience, which hath little or no sense, either of what is done or suffered.
Fourthly, A feared conscience, which is altogether senseless.
Fourthly, A feared conscience, which is altogether senselesse.
A conscience thus disabled to perform its work, being either blind, secure, sleepy, or feared, is tame and quiet with the worst of men. But all this while, though this wicked man hath some ease, yet he hath no peace; his conscience while seared, is far enough from being settled; his conscience while asleep is far enough from rest. It is with such, as with some sick men, ask them how they do, they will say, Very well, when as indeed they are so sick, that they know not how ill they are; they take death it self for health, and their not feeling of pain for the curing of their disease.
