Indeed, now this joy, this white of joy, arises in the soul three ways:
1. From the testimony of their own consciences. Oh they who have a good testimony from their own consciences, walk in white. 2 Corin 1 chap. verse 12. We have this for our rejoicing, the testimony of our consciences, that in all simplicity and godly sincerity, we have our conversation in heaven: that is, walking in white: this is our rejoicing, our conscience speaks well of us, and kindly to us, and who is able to express the sweetness of this thing? None can know what this is, but they that have it, as it is said of the New Name written upon the white stone, 2 Revelations 17. 'Tis a thing beyond expression what the joy and peace of a good conscience is! Now this I say, that our white garments, and our walking in white, ariseth from the testimony of our consciences.
