God stirs up Conscience, and arms it with Authority §1for the stilling and settling of such unruly distempers which heretofore have refused his power and neglected his law, and so took much place in the Soul, and carried lt to the Commission of much evil against the mind of Conscience. So that whereas Conscience was kept under before by reason of the Mutinies and Conspiracies of many Corruptions in the heart; and was blinded, […], and benumbed with the violence and unruly rage of many wretched lusts, so that either it did not see, what was to be done, or could not be heard in what it would speak, at least was utterly unable to prevail. The Lord now hath awakened Conscience, and put that Life, Virtue, and Authority into it: That now Conscience begins a fresh to take upon him, and to show his Sovereignty and Rule; he will not take it as he hath ⟨p. 364⟩done, but publicly proclaims his […] Charge, and Edicts, not to be contradicted or controlled upon the pain of the severest punishments.
