judgement_n of_o god_n or_o man_n for_o our_o evil_a deed_n quest_n now_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o humane_a law_n do_v bind_v in_o conscience_n so_o that_o the_o violation_n of_o they_o make_v a_o evil_a conscience_n sol._n in_o order_n to_o the_o solution_n of_o this_o here_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v how_o conscience_n refer_v to_o god_n and_o how_o to_o men._n strict_o conscience_n be_v refer_v only_o to_o god_n so_o that_o a_o evil_a conscience_n be_v a_o sense_n of_o sin_n commit_v against_o god_n and_o a_o fear_n of_o god_n judgement_n for_o it_o more_o large_o conscience_n bear_v

sin_n as_o against_o god_n so_o against_o man_n and_o a_o fear_n as_o of_o be_v judge_v for_o it_o by_o god_n so_o of_o be_v censure_v by_o man_n or_o of_o fall_v under_o disgrace_n so_o much_o as_o to_o the_o first_o special_a enquiry_n in_o order_n to_o the_o solution_n of_o the_o main_a question_n i_o have_v show_v you_o what_o conscience_n be_v a_o good_a conscience_n and_o a_o evil_a

the_o question_n be_v proper_o concern_v the_o obligation_n of_o the_o conscience_n as_o conscience_n respect_v god_n so_o that_o the_o do_v or_o not_o do_v of_o a_o thing_n bring_v on_o a_o moral_a
