TVSTINS OBSERVATIONS, OR, CONSCIENCE EMBLEME: The Watch of God, similized by the Wakefull Dog.

[figure]

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

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, shalbe 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.

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.

Creation

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
