Conscience a Witness.
Rom. 9.1. I speak the Truth in Christ, I lie not, my Conscience bearing me Witness in the Holy-Ghost, &c. 1 John 3.20. If our Hearts condemn us, God is greater, and knoweth all things. Rom. 2.15, 16. Their Conscience in the mean while accusing, or else excusing, in the Day when God shall judg the Secrets of Men by Jesus Christ, according to my Gospel.
Conscience is in these Scriptures called a Witness. We shall, 1. Show what Conscience is. 2. Run the Parallel.

First; Conscience is a natural Power, with which God hath endued the Soul of Man by Creation; for his Comfort, if he walk uprightly; or for his Torment, if he walk in evil Ways. We do not imagine, that Conscience came not into the World until Adam's Fall; for this were to suppose Adam in Paradise to be a Man without Conscience. Conscience indeed, as an Accuser and Condemner, came not in until then; for as long as Adam obeyed the Commandments of God, there was no cause that Conscience should accuse him; but as soon as he had sinned, Conscience flew in his Face.
