And this distinction, I thought, was manifested and supported by Natural Conscience : whether amongst those that have or have not External Laws. This, I think, is taught to us plainly by the Apostle of the Gentiles, when he says, Those that were without a Law were a Law unto themselves, doing by nature the things contained in the Law, which shows the Law written in their hearts; Their Consciences bearing witness, and their thoughts accusing them or excusing them. The Gentile philosophers and Poets have said the same things concerning natural Conscience, as you cannot but know; And that you must go against the best Authors, Divine or Humane, if you deny to Man natural Conscience, as an original Principle, antecedently to any other Collections or Recollections.
