There is no word more frequently In
the mouths Of men than that OF con-
science. The word conscience properly
signifies that knowledge which man
hath within himself of his own
thought and actions, by comparing
them with the law of God, his mind
will either approve or condemn him,
according as he hath done good or evil;
therefore this knowledge or conscience
may properly be called both an accus-
er and judge. So that whenever our
conscience accuseth us, we are GER
tainly guilty; but we are not always
innocent when 1t doth not accuse us;
for very often through the hardness
of our hearts, or the fondness and ia
vor we bear ourselves, or through ig-
norance or neglect, we do not suffer
our conscience to take any cognizance
of several sins we commit.
