8. Labour to get and keep a good Conscience, because an evil one spoils all the good and best Actions of thy Life, it renders thy Prayers to be sinful.
9. Consider, Conscience is privy to all thou thinkest, knoweth what Evil hath been done by thee in private, seeth all the Evil thou hast committed, and all the Good thou hast omitted the doing of; and one day, if evil,1 it will lay all open before the Eyes of God, Angels, and Men, and come in as a Witness, to charge and condemn thee for ever. O therefore get a good Conscience.
10. Take heed how thou carriest thy self towards Conscience, because it hath a Regal Power in thy Soul, a Commission either to accuse or excuse: and if he condemns thee as an Unbeliever, or as a false Hypocrite, by the Light and Authority of God's Word,1 God will also (assuredly) condemn thee (unless thou dost repent) in the great Day.
