V. The fewer self-Reflections, the worse thou art. Thou wast use to reflect upon thy ways, and sometimes consider of thy deviations from the Rule of holiness, and thy Conscience did check and did reprove thee; but now thou goest on and never lookest back, so much as to consider wherein thou goest astray; and though thou art more wicked, and more vile, yet thou hast more peace and quietness in thy ways. It is ⟨p. 62⟩because thy heart is more hard, and thy Conscience more seared, and thou worse.

VI. The greater Light thou sinnest against, and the more thou goest on against the Dictates of thy Conscience, the worse thou art. Conscience discovereth to thee the evil of thy ways, the wickedness of thy life: Conscience threateneth thee with damnation, with the loss of God and Happiness, and thundereth against thee, and doth disturb thee in thy sin, and yet thou goest on against thy knowledge, and dost imprison the Truths of God; thou art worse.
