four_o effect_n of_o a_o evil_a conscience_n usual_o the_o first_o be_v shame_n conscience_n he_o that_o have_v a_o evil_a conscience_n be_v betray_v by_o his_o own_o blush_v many_o time_n when_o his_o offence_n be_v secret_a yea_o a_o man_n feel_v a_o inward_a shame_n in_o his_o own_o heart_n disgrace_v and_o abuse_v he_o though_o he_o make_v no_o outward_a show_n of_o it_o for_o though_o sometime_o a_o innocent_a person_n upon_o the_o fullness_n of_o a_o aspersion_n may_v conceive_v shame_n as_o david_n do_v psalm_n 44.15_o yet_o it_o be_v usual_o the_o effect_n of_o a_o ill_a conscience_n the_o second_o be_v pain_n and_o anguish_n of_o heart_n arise_v from_o the_o gnaw_a and_o sting_n of_o conscience_n mention_v before_o which_o so_o continual_o burden_v the_o heart_n that_o it_o take_v away_o all_o contentment_n in_o any_o thing_n and_o keep_v the_o heart_n in_o a_o habitual_a disconsolation_n and_o though_o the_o disease_n of_o melancholy_n may_v breed_v a_o sadness_n like_a unto_o it_o yet_o be_v here_o manifest_a difference_n betwixt_o this_o affliction_n of_o spirit_n and_o melancholy_a for_o the_o melancholic_a person_n usual_o can_v assign_v no_o certain_a reason_n of_o that_o sadness_n whereas_o conscience_n when_o it_o sting_v assign_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o to_o be_v such_o and_o such_o thing_n which_o bring_v not_o only_o the_o shame_n of_o man_n but_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n beside_o melancholic_a sadness_n may_v be_v ease_v by_o physic_n but_o this_o sorrow_n be_v not_o cure_v by_o any_o mean_n but_o such_o as_o be_v spiritual_a the_o three_o be_v a_o strange_a kind_n of_o fear_n break_v the_o heart_n of_o a_o man_n &_o so_o subdue_a his_o courage_n that_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o sustain_v himself_o against_o the_o impression_n of_o vain_a cause_n of_o fear_n a_o tremble_a hart_n be_v the_o effect_n of_o a_o ill_a conscience_n deut._n 28.65_o thus_o wicked_a man_n be_v say_v in_o scripture_n to_o fear_v when_o no_o man_n pursue_v they_o pro._n 28.1_o and_o to_o be_v so_o fainthearted_a as_o the_o sound_n of_o a_o shake_a leaf_n shall_v make_v they_o fly_v as_o it_o be_v from_o a_o sword_n levit._n 26.36_o and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o job_n the_o sound_n of_o fear_n be_v always_o in_o his_o ear_n yea_o the_o terror_n of_o conscience_n sometime_o so_o enrage_v upon_o the_o offender_n that_o no_o torment_n be_v like_a unto_o their_o terror_n which_o sometime_o be_v so_o great_a that_o they_o be_v hardly_o able_a to_o sustain_v themselves_o but_o discover_v their_o horrible_a restlessness_n by_o the_o grievous_a distemper_n of_o the_o body_n or_o fail_v of_o their_o sense_n be_v for_o the_o time_n as_o job_n say_v bring_v under_o the_o king_n of_o terror_n job_n 18.14_o what_o a_o woeful_a case_n belshazzar_n be_v in_o you_o may_v read_v daniel_n 5.9_o these_o terror_n be_v the_o fancy_n the_o gentile_n so_o much_o dream_v of_o the_o four_o be_v desperation_n a_o evil_a conscience_n in_o sin_n many_o time_n bring_v they_o to_o hellish_a despair_n of_o all_o mercy_n and_o pardon_v thus_o cain_n rage_v &_o blaspheme_v like_o a_o frantic_a man_n and_o these_o effect_n of_o a_o evil_a conscience_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o great_a 1._o because_o the_o conscience_n can_v lash_v a_o man_n without_o noise_n conscience_n it_o can_v secret_o inflict_v torment_n when_o no_o eye_n

do_v and_o many_o in_o our_o time_n do_v 5._o because_o death_n itself_o do_v not_o abate_v the_o torment_n of_o a_o evil_a conscience_n but_o the_o live_a worm_n gnaw_v they_o even_o in_o hell_n
