6. That Man can never have good Days, that keeps an evil Conscience.
7. On the other hand, he that hath a good Conscience needs never be sad, nor can he be without good Days; for as Trouble and Horror of Conscience is the greatest Trouble, so Peace of Conscience is the greatest Joy. That Man can never want Music (saith Mr. Caryl) that speaks in Consort, and is harmonious with himself. A good Conscience is the poor Man's Riches, and the rich Man's chiefest Jewel, a Jewel worth keeping. It is (saith one) the best Pillow to sleep on, and the best Dish to feed on. A good Conscience is a continual Feast; so the Geneva-Translation.1 A good Conscience with a Dinner of Herbs, is all Varieties; but a bad Conscience makes all Feasts and Pleasures like the Hand-writing on Belshazzar's Wall.
