2 Take notice what sin thy Conscience doth first bring to thy remembrance: for Conscience is Gods Deputy to convince thee,1 and to tell thee, that by living in the practice of such and such a Sin, or in the omission of such a Duty, thou hast justly brought upon thee such a Judgement; as thou mayst see in the example of Josephs brethren, who for their cruelty towards their brother, adjudged themselves worthy of all the miseries which they suffered; for their Consciences it seems in their distress chiefly checked them ⟨p. 63⟩for that, therefore they had good ground to suspect that to be the cause of their present distress; under every Cross and Affliction therefore listen to the voice of Conscience, which will deal impartially with thee.
