Thomas Goodwin 1

Yes, so as even our own consciences - which are the only principle now left in us which should take part with and encourag faith, and witness to us, as the office of it is, the goodness of our estates - In this may join with the former corruptions against us, and bring in a false evidence, and pronounce a false judgment. Even conscience itself, which is ordained, as the urine of the body, to shew the estate of the whole, and therefore is accordingly called good or evil as the man's state is, this is apt in such distempers to change and turn colour, and look to a man's own view as foul as the state of a very hypocrite.
From A child of light walking in darkness
