Excerpt from Conscience: Its Origin and Authority Those who are interested in the study of Ethics, and particularly Christian Ethics in relation to Christian Theology, must have been disappointed at the cursory treatment which the Conscience has received at the hands of English writers. For the most part Ethical writers have left it to the Theologians, and Theologians have referred inquirers back to Ethics. From the year 1660, when Jeremy Taylor published his Ductor Dubitantium, to the time when Joseph Butler preached his famous Sermons at the Rolls - they were first published in 1726 - no one seems to have devoted serious attention to what may be called the theory of Conscience. And, as far as I am aware - in spite of the immense change that has taken place since the eighteenth century in our way of regarding man, the world, and God - no one since Butler has given more than passing attention to the subject.
