John Welsh [or Welch], minister of the gospel at Ayr, and grandfather of John Welsh of Irongray, the Covenanter, was born of an ancient and well-to-do family in Dumfriesshire about the year 1568.
Welsh abounded in industry and ability, and was not slow to gain a mastery of Latin [the language of theology in that age] and a competent knowledge of Greek.
Welsh's indignation was white hot, but his confidence in the sovereignty of God enabled him to predict future good for the Scots Church: 'Yet that stock and trunk of Jesse shall flourish, and the Lord shall reign in the midst of his enemies'.

You see, as long as your conscience condemns you, you can never be assured - it's impossible to be assured - you must bring your conscience under the power of the blood of Christ, and don't let your conscience contradict the Word of God.
The Word of God tells you that "if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins..." (1 John 1, 9) and that "there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ..." (Romans 8, 1).
Collect the texts that refer to this and plead with God to authenticate these texts powerfully to your conscience until your soul is sweetly at rest.
