2. A mans person is condemned by conscience, not only when conscience finds sins in the person, but likewise the person in sins; (i.) not only such corruptions in the heart, but also the heart approving, and loving of them, and resolved to keep them, and go on in them.

Now observe me in two Conclusions answerable to these two Propositions:
1. If Conscience condemns thy person, I confess thou hast no reason to believe mercy for thy self; If thy conscience tells thee to the face of God, thou art in a foul, sinful course, and hast been called upon by the voice of the Word, and its voice to come ⟨p. 361⟩out of it, and thou dost not leave it, nay, art resolved to pursue it, and to insist on it, now God is greater then thy conscience, and will assuredly condemn thee.
