5. There is no bearing in this World the Pain and Torment of an accusing Conscience. Tiberius the Emperor was so followed with Grief and Horror by his own Conscience, that he confessed in the Senate-House he suffered Death daily; and Charles the Ninth of France, that Monster of Mortals, after the dreadful Massacre, could never endure to be awaked in the Night without Music, such was the dreadful Anguish and Horror he found in his own Conscience. Francis Spira also may be here recited among the rest, whose Conscience terrified him at that rate, that the Account of his fearful Case is left to Posterity. It was Conscience that put Judas into such an Amaze, and forced him to hang himself, after he had betrayed our Blessed Saviour. And many other Examples, both ancient and modern, we meet with, both of Men and Women, that have destroyed themselves, as not being able to bear the cruel Torments of an accusing Conscience; and others from hence have confessed their Guilt, and so delivered themselves into the hands of Justice.
