Nil c•nscire tibi, nullâ pallescere culpa hic murus aheneus estc— It was to them as a wall of brass, much more will godly simplicity, and the sprinkling of the blood of Christ upon our Consciences, secure and encourage our hearts. This Atheistical Age laughs Conscience and purity to scorn; but let them laugh, this is it will make thee laugh when they shall cry.1 Paul exercised himself, or made it his business, To have always a Conscience void of offence, both towards God and towards men, Acts 24. 16. And it was richly worth his labour, it repaid him ten thousand fold in the peace, courage, and comfort it gave him in all the troubles of his life, which were great and many.
