11. When Conscience cannot find any Duty or Ordinance, which the Soul is convinced of, to be neglected, tho he is exposed to Reproach thereby. To obey God in Baptism, is called the Answer of a good Conscience; Conscience calls for obedience to this, and to all other Ordinances of the Gospel, when convinced of them.
12. And lastly; When Conscience beareth Testimony to a Soul, that it loveth God and Jesus Christ above all things in this World, &c. He that hateth not Father and Mother, &c. cannot be my Disciple. That is, if he hath not a lesser Love to them; for the lesser Love in Scripture is called a Hatred, which our Saviour openeth in another place, He that loveth Father or Mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loveth Son or Daughter more than me, is not worthy of me, 1&c. Yea doubtless I account all things but Loss, &c.
Quest. How shall a Man get and keep a good Conscience?
