Doct. That a faithful Discharge of our Duty, will give us Comfort and Boldness when our Lord cometh to reckon with us.
1. There is a Confidence and Comfort that ariseth from a good. Conscience, or from Sanctification as well as Justification: In the inward Court, Conscience is one of the Witnesses, as well as the Spirit of God, Rom. 8.16. and much Comfort ariseth from its Testimony. 2 Cor. 1.12. This is our rejoicing, the Testimony of our Conscience. A Carnal man is ashamed of the Grounds of his rejoicing, and what it is that keepeth his Heart merry; but a Godly man can own the Causes of his joy, which are in the first place, the Blood of Christ, Rom. 5.11. We joy in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have received the Atonement: next, the Testimony of his Conscience concerning his sincere walking: But if a man can live with these Comforts, can he dye with them?
