Synopsis

The Constant Practice, And Sincerity Of An Apostle, A Scholar, And A Gentleman: Or, An Exhortation To The Successors Of The Apostles, Not To Contend Too Earnestly For the Faith. This Sermon, preached at the Temple-Church on Sunday, June 19, 1720, by Robert Pearse, M.A., Vice-Principal of St. Edmund-Hall, Oxford, offers a philosophical and theological meditation on conscience as the central engine of religious life. Pearse defines conscience as reason freely acting without partiality, and explores its sources in scripture, nature, and the moral law. He argues that true sincerity arises from knowledge, deliberate judgment, and obedient action aligned with the Gospel. The discourse covers the nature of offense to God and man, the dangers of ignorance, pride, and misused liberty, and the necessary rules for maintaining a conscience void of offense. It concludes with exhortations to pursue holiness, anticipate the Resurrection, and live under the judgment seat of God. The work situates conscience, virtue, and piety within a framework of scriptural obedience and moral responsibility.
