      1. Knowledge of one's own thoughts or actions; consciousness.
            [Obs.]

                     about questions of right and wrong, and accompanied
                     with the sentiments of approbation and condemnation.

            right or duty.
  
                     Conscience supposes the existence of some such
                     [i.e., moral] faculty, and properly signifies our
                     consciousness of having acted agreeably or contrary
