arise_v as_o 1._o the_o opposition_n that_o be_v in_o a_o natural_a conscience_n it_o arise_v from_o a_o principle_n of_o slavish_a fear_n but_o the_o opposition_n that_o be_v in_o the_o godly_a from_o the_o spirit_n it_o come_v from_o a_o principle_n of_o love_n to_o god_n and_o hatred_n to_o sin_n it_o appear_v thus_o cain_n he_o cry_v out_o oh_o say_v he_o my_o punishment_n be_v great_a than_o i_o be_o able_a to_o bear_v he_o complain_v not_o that_o his_o sin_n be_v great_a than_o he_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v but_o of_o his_o punishment_n a_o wicked_a man_n that_o oppose_v sin_n from_o a_o natural_a conscience_n may_v be_v compare_v to_o a_o thief_n that_o refuse_v and_o abstain_v from_o steal_v not_o out_o of_o any_o hatred_n of_o theft_n or_o out_o of_o any_o love_n to_o justice_n but_o only_o because_o he_o be_v afraid_a of_o be_v hang_v for_o his_o theft_n even_o so_o it_o be_v with_o wicked_a man_n they_o abstain_v from_o sin_n and_o act_n of_o sin_n mere_o out_o of_o slavish_a fear_n of_o hell_n and_o condemnation_n not_o out_o of_o love_n to_o god_n i_o may_v further_o exemplisie_v it_o thus_o you_o know_v there_o be_v this_o difference_n between_o a_o collier_n and_o a_o cleanly_a man_n a_o collier_n will_v not_o touch_v charcoal_n if_o they_o be_v burn_a coal_n but_o he_o will_v touch_v they_o though_o they_o be_v black_a coal_n but_o a_o cleanly_a man_n will_v not_o touch_v they_o neither_o as_o they_o be_v burn_v nor_o black_a coal_n wicked_a man_n will_v forbear_v sin_n because_o it_o be_v a_o coal_n of_o fire_n but_o the_o godly_a will_n reluct_v at_o sin_n because_o it_o be_v a_o black_a coal_n they_o love_v god_n and_o they_o hate_v sin_n and_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n paul_n what_o i_o will_v that_o i_o do_v not_o but_o what_o i_o hate_v that_o do_v i._o 7.15_o rom._n 7.15_o he_o do_v not_o say_v the_o evil_a i_o will_v not_o do_v and_o the_o evil_n i_o will_v fain_o forbear_v but_o the_o evil_n i_o hate_v that_o i_o do_v divine_n gather_v thence_o that_o a_o godly_a man_n conflict_n with_o corruption_n out_o of_o a_o hatred_n to_o corruption_n not_o because_o he_o fear_v the_o punishment_n but_o hate_v the_o sin_n wicked_a man_n reluct_v at_o sin_n but_o it_o be_v not_o because_o they_o hate_v the_o evil_a of_o sin_n but_o because_o they_o fear_v the_o punishment_n thereof_o as_o balaam_n he_o will_v not_o curse_v the_o people_n yet_o it_o be_v say_v of_o he_o that_o he_o love_v the_o wage_n of_o unrighteousness_n 2.15_o 2_o pet._n 2.15_o though_o he_o fear_v the_o punishment_n yet_o he_o do_v not_o hate_v the_o sin_n godly_a man_n reluct_v at_o sin_n from_o a_o principle_n of_o hatred_n thereof_o and_o there_o be_v four_o spiritual_a principle_n from_o whence_o the_o conflict_n of_o a_o godly_a man_n arise_v 1._o because_o that_o sin_n it_o be_v against_o a_o holy_a god_n and_o this_o be_v joseph_n principle_n how_o can_v i_o do_v this_o great_a wickedness_n and_o sin_n against_o god_n 9_o gen._n 39_o 9_o 2._o because_o it_o be_v the_o breach_n of_o a_o holy_a law_n thus_o paul_n what_o i_o hate_v say_v he_o that_o i_o do_v 7.16_o rom._n 7.16_o if_o then_o i_o do_v that_o which_o i_o will_v not_o i_o consent_v unto_o the_o law_n that_o it_o be_v good_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o oppose_v sin_n out_o of_o the_o consent_n that_o be_v in_o my_o conscience_n unto_o this_o law_n that_o it_o be_v good_a 3._o another_o principle_n upon_o which_o the_o godly_a oppose_v sin_n be_v a_o hatred_n to_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o sin_n itself_o and_o thus_o david_n profess_v of_o himself_o that_o through_o the_o precept_n of_o god_n he_o get_v understanding_n 119.104_o psal_n 119.104_o and_o therefore_o hate_v every_o false_a way_n 4._o he_o oppose_v sin_n out_o of_o love_n to_o jesus_n christ_n see_v that_o christ_n die_v for_o sin_n they_o will_v labour_v to_o die_v to_o sin_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v 5.14,15_o 2_o cor._n 5.14,15_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n constrain_v we_o because_o we_o thus_o judge_v that_o if_o one_o die_v for_o all_o then_o be_v all_o dead_a and_o that_o he_o die_v for_o all_o that_o they_o which_o live_v shall_v not_o henceforth_o live_v unto_o themselves_o but_o unto_o he_o which_o die_v for_o they_o and_z rise_v again_z 5._o the_o five_o difference_n be_v this_o the_o conflict_n between_o the_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n and_o the_o conflict_n between_o natural_a conscience_n and_o sin_n differ_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o event_n and_o issue_n thereof_o and_o there_o be_v a_o fourfold_a different_a event_n and_o issue_n 1._o the_o issue_n of_o the_o conflict_n of_o a_o natural_a conscience_n and_o sin_n be_v this_o that_o it_o leave_v a_o man_n unquiet_a and_o the_o sin_n unmortified_a 27.5_o matth._n 27.5_o and_o this_o be_v the_o very_a case_n of_o judas_n his_o conscience_n tell_v he_o that_o he_o have_v sin_v in_o betray_v his_o master_n and_o thereupon_o he_o be_v so_o trouble_v that_o he_o go_v and_o hang_v himself_o yet_o notwithstanding_o his_o sin_n remain_v unmortified_a but_o it_o be_v contrary_a with_o the_o spirit_n conflict_n that_o not_o only_o quiet_v the_o mind_n but_o mortify_v the_o sin_n and_o therefore_o you_o find_v the_o apostle_n after_o he_o have_v be_v speak_v of_o the_o spirit_n conflict_n with_o the_o flesh_n 5.22_o gal._n 5.22_o tell_v you_o that_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v joy_n and_o peace_n this_o be_v the_o issue_n of_o the_o conflict_n of_o the_o spirit_n it_o will_v not_o only_o quiet_a the_o mind_n but_o kill_v the_o sin_n 8.13_o rom._n 8.13_o if_o you_o through_o the_o spirit_n do_v mortify_v the_o deed_n of_o the_o body_n you_o shall_v live_v 2._o another_o event_n of_o the_o conflict_n of_o natural_a conscience_n be_v that_o the_o unruly_a affection_n of_o a_o man_n they_o be_v too_o hard_o for_o a_o natural_a conscience_n to_o oppose_v and_o subdue_v wicked_a man_n will_v many_o time_n contend_v with_o sin_n but_o mark_v the_o issue_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o strong_a inclination_n of_o their_o heart_n to_o sin_n do_v overcome_v they_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o three_o instance_n hereof_o in_o saul_n pilate_n and_o pharaoh_n as_o for_o saul_n his_o conscience_n tell_v he_o that_o he_o do_v ill_o in_o pursue_v david_n 17._o 1_o sam._n 24_o 17._o and_o his_o conscience_n constrain_v he_o to_o
