Me: “I grant I have sinned.”
My conscience: “Then will God punish thee.”
Me: “Nay, he will not do so.”
My conscience: “Why, doth not the law of God say so?”
Me: “I have nothing to do with that law.”
My conscience: “Why so?”
Me: “Because I have another law which striketh this law dumb, that is to say, liberty.”
My conscience: “What liberty is that?”
Me: “The liberty of Christ, for by Christ I am utterly freed from the law.”
