THe Dog behind the Doore doth lie , his Masters Goods to keepe , And layes his Head betwixt his Leggs , as if he were asleepe : But if thou do'st his Master wrong , hee will it quickly spie , Although thou think'st he be asleepe , i' thy Face hee 'le quickly flye . So Conscience is within thee plac'd , as a Dog he doth thee watch : If thou do'st well , he will thee praise ; if ill , he will thee catch : For God hath Conscience plac'd in thee most like a Soveraigne Judge , No Bribes he will receive of thee , from him thou canst not budge ; But he will still attend on thee , so long as Life shall last , And when to Judgement thou shalt goe , he will with thee make hast . And testifie before the Lord the things that thou hast done : If well , he will thee iustifie ; if ill , where canst thou run ? See that thy Conscience purifie , made simple as the Dove , Compare it with the Glasse , Gods Law , and with the Law of Love . For Christ himself in short doth tell a Doctrine very true , As you would have to others done , so let be done to you . For Charity is waxen cold , yet knowledge doth increase , Bu● Faith is very hard to find , that 's ioyn'd with Love and Peace . By me John Tustin , who hath beene plundered and spoyled by the Patentees for white and gray Soape eighteene severall times ▪ to his utter undoing . Notes, typically marginal, from the original text Notes for div A95388e-30 And the Lord said unto Cain , VVhy art thou wroth , and why is thy countenance fallen ? If thou do well , shalt thou not be accepted , and if thou doest not well , sinne lyeth at the doore : Gen. 4 Chap. 6 , 7. verses . For when the Gentiles , which have not the Law , doe by nature the things contained in the Law , these having not the Law , are a Law unto themselves , which shew the worke of the Law written in their hearts , their consciences also bearing witnes , and their thoughts the meane time accusing , or else excusing one another , Rom. 2. Chap. 14 , 15. verses . For if any be a hearer of the VVord ▪ and not a doer , he is like unto a man beholds his naturall face in a Glasse : For he beholdeth himselfe ▪ and goeth his way and straightway goeth away , and forgetteth what manner of man he was ; But who so looketh in the perf●ct Law of Liberty , and continueth therei● , he being not a forgetfull hearer , but a doer of the VVord , shal be blessed in his deed , James 1 Chap. 23. 24 , 25 verses . And because iniquitie doth abound , the love of many shall wax cold , Mat. 24 Chap. 12 verse . The Earth shall be filled with knowledge , as the waters cover the Seas , Jsay 11 Chap. 9 verse . Mat. 7 Chap 12 verse . Neverthelesse when the sonne of man cometh shall he find Faith upon the earth ? Luke 18 Chap. 8 verse .
