Written

there the divine wrath is revealed from heaven against all impiety, and injustice of men, who wickedly suppress the truth.

Their conscience, etc

I call Christ, and the holy spirit to witness with my conscience, that I speak the truth without guile, when I say,

but they who heard that, being convicted by their own conscience, they all went old and young one after another, so that Jesus was left alone with the woman, who still kept her place.

Then Paul directing himself to the council, thus said, "hitherto I have liv'd strictly conscientious, as God knows."

and 'tis my endeavour to preserve a conscience free from reproach both with respect to God, and with respect to men.

for this is to me matter of glorying, the testimony of my conscience, that without artifice, and with religious sincerity, not by worldly wisdom, but by God's favourable assistance I have behaved my self towards all men, but more particularly to you.

Shall I then, who know this terrible judgment of the Lord, endeavour to appease men? as for God, I am approved by him, and I trust also you are convinced of my being so approved.

broach'd by hypocrititical impostors, whose consciences are cauteriz'd,

Accusing

Hereby we shall know that we are true professors, and set our consciences securely at rest.
