5 Further, A Natural Conscience limits it's self, and is bounded; that is, so much as will serve the turn for it's own peace and quiet, so much it will do and no more: But when one is acted by the Spirit of God, one is enlarged without any limits at all, not bounded to ones own peace, for the more peace a gracious heart hath in duty, the more it is enlarged in duty: Now a Natural Conscience, that puts to duty, and will act you when you want peace, when you are in trouble and fear, but when you are not in trouble and fear, then it puts not on the heart to performance of duty; but the Spirit of God puts ⟨p. 90⟩on the Soul to duty, when there is most peace and comfort.
5 Further, A Naturall Conscience limits it's selfe, and is bounded; that is, so much as will serve the turn for it's own peace and quiet, so much it will do and no more: But when one is acted by the Spirit of God, one is enlarged without any limits at all, not bounded to ones own peace, for the more peace a gracious heart hath in duty, the more it is enlarged in duty: Now a Natural Conscience, that puts to duty, and will act you when you want peace, when you are in trouble and fear, but when you are not in trouble and fear, then it puts not on the heart to performance of duty; but the Spirit of God puts ⟨p. 90⟩on the Soule to dutie, when there is most peace and comfort.
6 A little will serve the turn to satisfy a natural Conscience, so be it they perform the duty it is enough; but one that is acted by the Spirit of God in duty, must meet with much of God or else he is not satisfied, he goes mourning in the day time if he hath not met with much of God in the morning in the performance of duty. Thus you see there is much difference between the Actings of natural parts and conscience in duty, and the Acting of the Spirit of God.
