Man bears within himself a witness of all his faults, which he must acknowledge with sorrow either here or before God’s judgment seat, for as the sage says, ‘our conscience knows we have said and even done what harmed others, and knows it, not in order to conceal it, but to bear witness against us. Yet with all this, there are men who stop God’s voice and stifle the remonstrance of conscience, not permitting it to speak.
–Francisco de Osuna (1497-1541)
