The Agent in this business is to be our Conscience; which is, A power in our Souls, passing Judgment on us, as under the Judgment of God. Our Conscience is to set up a Tribunal in our Souls, whereat we are to call our selves to an Account as before the Eternal God; whose Deputy, and Vic•gerent our Conscience is.

Every motion of our Inward or Outward man, that ha's any Tendency to discover what we are; the sense of our mind, the choice of our w•lls, the Bent of our Afflictions, and the Tenor of our whole walk, must a severe Inquisition be made into.
