(The Spirit works on) The conscience, stirring it up to the faithful and vigorous discharge of its duty to instruct, reprove, applaud and condemn as the case requires and occasions offer. The Spirit of man, that candle of the Lord, often gives but a faint and glimmering light but the Spirit of God snuffs it that it may burn brighter. It is he that sets conscience to work at first making it fly in the face of the sinner saying, as Nathan to David, Thou art the man .And to him we owe all that facility and ease, faithfulness and integrity with which it acts in after life. It is he that makes the conscience tender and keeps it tender, bids it speak when it ought to speak and inclines us to hearken to its voice. To approve that which is right and condemn that which is otherwise is natural to and inseparable from every man's conscience. ... But then its ability and readiness to exercise this approving or condemning power is encreased by the quickening influence of the divine Spirit. He is the Lord of conscience and all its motions, like those of the wheels, are under his direction.
