The security of a good Conscience. [ 227]
THough the World should rattle about his ears, a man may sit merry,* 1.1 that sits at
the feast of a good conscience; nay, the child of God, by the vertue of this, in the
midst of the waves of affliction, is as secure as that child, which in a shipwrack was
upon a plank with his mother, till she awaked him,* 1.2 then securely sleeping; and
then with his pretty countenance, sweetly smiling, and by and by sportingly asking
a stroak to beat the naughty waves; and at last when they continued boysterous for
all that, sharply chiding them, as if they had been his playfellowes. O the innocency!
O the comfort of peace! O the tranquillity of a spotlesse mind! O the serenity! No
Spanish skie so clear, as a good conscience.
