"GOD governs the World by several attributes and emanations from himself. The Nature of things is supported by his Power, the events of things are ordered by his Providence, and the actions of reasonable Creatures are governed by Laws,
and these Laws are put into a Man's soul or mind as into a
Treasury or Repository: some in his very nature, some by
after-actions, by education and positive sanction, by learning
and custome; so that it was well said of St. Bernard, Conscientia candor est lucis aeterne, & speculum sine macula Dei Majestatis, & imago bonitatis illius. Conscience is the brightness and splendor of the eternal light, a spotless mirror of the Divine Majesty, and the Image of the goodness of God. It is higher which Tatianus said of conscience, [GREEK], Conscience is God unto uswhich saying he had from Menander,
[Greek]
and it had in it this truth, that God, who is every where in several manners, hath the appellative of his own attributes and effects in the several manners of his presence.

"Chapter IX
[...] If a Horse Kick, or a Dog Bite, shall a Man Kick or Bite again? The one 'tis true is wholly void of Reason, but it is also an equivalent Darkness of Mind, that possesses the other. So long as we are among Men, let us cherish Humanity; and so live, that no Man may be either in Fear, or in Danger of us. Losses, Injuries, Reproaches, Calumnies, they are but short Inconveniences, and we should bear them with Resolution. Beside that, some People are above our Anger, others below it. To contend with our Superiors were a Folly, and with our Inferiors an Indignity.
