CHAPTER VI.
_Of the joy of a good conscience._
THE glory of a good man is the testimony of a good conscience.
Have a good conscience, and thou shalt ever have joy.
Thou shalt rest sweetly if thy heart condemn thee not.
Never rejoice but when thou hast done well.
Sinners have never true joy, nor feel inward peace; because _There is
no peace to the wicked_, saith the Lord.
