"But there is a superior Principle of Reflection or Conscience in every Man, which distinguisheth between the internal Principles of his Heart, as well as his external Actions: Which passes Judgment upon himself and them; pronounces determinately some Actions to be in themselves just, right, good; others to be in themselves evil, wrong, unjust: Which without being consulted, without being advised with, magisterially exerts itself, and approves or condemns Him the doer of them accordingly: And which if not forcibly stopp'd, naturally and always of Course goes on to anticipate a higher and more effectual Sentence, which shall hereafter second and affirm its own."
