Thirdly, This assures him that God will give testimony to his integrity, and bear his witness (when most seasonable) to his righteous works. Though men will not give him Testimony, yet God who knows his ways will; God will not do less for a good man then a good Conscience will; For as an evil Conscience will accuse, so a good Conscience will excuse.
