(2.) A Man that hath only a natural good Conscience, his great endeavour is to still the Noise, and stop the Mouth of it; but never looks to have the Guilt removed, and Filth washed away by Christ's Blood; he seeth no need of a Saviour: I was alive once without the Law, 1&c. He is like a Child that hath got a Thorn in his Flesh, who wipeth away the Blood, but taketh no notice or thought how to get out the Thorn. If bare Performance of Duties, whether natural or divine, will still or quiet the Conscience, the Conscience is but naturally good.
2. When Conscience compares a Man's Ways by the perfect Rule of God's Word, by which he walks, and finds it agreeable thereto.
3. An evangelical good Conscience findeth a Man as careful of his Duty towards God, as he is of his Duty towards Man; and as careful of his Duty towards Man, as of his Duty towards God.1 Herein do I exercise my self, to have always a Conscience void of Offence towards God, and towards Man.
