1. That Man hath a good Conscience, that walks uprightly and faithfully to his Light, according to what he knoweth. If he hath only a natural Light, and walks up faithfully to that, then he hath only a natural good Conscience; there is Moral Sincerity spoken of in the holy Scriptures,1 as well as Godly Sincerity. Abimelech in this respect had a good Conscience: In the Sincerity of my Heart, and Innocency of my Hands, 2have I done this.

(1.) He whose Conscience is only naturally good, is usually a proud Man; Lord, I thank thee, 1I am not as other Men, &c. Such seek their own Glory, they sacrifice to their own Net, and burn Incense to their own Drag; all centres in Self, the Principle of their Action is Self. A Saint, when his Gifts are highest, his Heart is lowest; when his Spirit is most raised, his Heart is most humble.
