It accuses us of undone duties to our neighbours, unkindness, neglect of opportunities of service, and many another ugly fault. Duties undone are debts not only to ourselves or to our fellows, but to God. The great Over-lord reckons offences against His vassals as crimes against Himself.
Neither are works injurious provided a person does not attach any saving value to them. The Apostle does not say that works are objectionable, but to build one's hopes for righteousness on works is disastrous, for that makes Christ good for nothing. Let us bear this in mind when the devil accuses our conscience.
This roof-tree hain't yourn by no better right then ther nest thet ther cuckoo steals from ther bird thet built hit...." Again he paused, then, added with a sneer: "We don't even grant ye ownership of thet old walnuck tree but we aims ter loan hit ter ye long enough ter hang on." He halted and looked about the place, then with cheap theatricism demanded: "Who accuses this man?
And my conscience accuses me of having been to blame in the first instance. You see, when Alain made terms with Louvier by which he obtained a very fair income, if prudently managed, I naturally wished that a man of so many claims to social distinction, and who represents the oldest branch of my family, should take his right place in our world of Paris.
But, for all that, he spoke only once, for form's sake, and pressed Kimon less than any of his other prosecutors. How, then, can one put any faith in Idomeneus, when he accuses Perikles of procuring the assassination of his friend and colleague Ephialtes, because he was jealous of his reputation?

"That may well be," he answered; "and if peril come, I trust I may have courage to endure all that may be put upon me. I have done naught of which my conscience accuses me. I can be strong in mine own integrity of heart."
It has been suggested that his fame is in part due to the circumstance, fortunate for him, that he had to address the courts as reorganised by Sulla. The only blot on his character is his unscrupulousness in dealing with the judges. Cicero accuses him of bribing them on one occasion, and the fact that he was not contradicted, though his rival was present, makes the accusation more than probable.
The best men among us are guilty of that iniquity every day, and they never confess it to themselves; no one ever accuses them of it; and they go down to death and judgment unsuspicious of the discovery that they will soon make there.
Shrapnel did not intend to be insulting. I cannot say that he was not offensive. You know, Miss Halkett, I would willingly, gladly have saved him from anything like punishment. 'You are too gentle to have thought of it, said Cecilia. 'But I shall never be forgiven by Captain Beauchamp. I see in his eyes that he accuses me and despises me. 'He will not be so unjust, Mrs. Culling.
