“A Wounded Conscience Cured” by William Bridge is a powerful theological treatise that addresses the issue of conscience and moral integrity in the face of conflict and doubt.
威廉·布里奇（William Bridge）的《受伤良心的医治》（A Wounded Conscience Cured）是一部强有力的神学论文，探讨了在冲突和怀疑面前的良心与道德整全性的问题。
Written during a turbulent period of political and religious upheaval in 17th-century England, Bridge tackles the relationship between civil authority, obedience to rulers, and the rights of Christians to resist tyranny.
本书写于17世纪英国政治和宗教剧烈动荡的时期，布里奇处理了公民权柄、对统治者的顺服以及基督徒抵抗暴政的权利之间的关系。
The work is structured as a detailed response to Dr. Henry Ferne’s defense of the monarchy’s absolute authority, particularly in matters of governance and religion.
这部作品的结构是对亨利·弗恩（Henry Ferne）博士关于君主绝对权威辩护的详尽回应，特别是在治理和宗教事务方面。
Bridge’s work is not merely a rebuttal of Ferne’s political stance, but also an encouragement to those struggling with guilt, doubt, or wounded consciences due to the actions of the state or religious leaders.
布里奇的著作不仅仅是对弗恩政治立场的反驳，也是对那些因国家或宗教领袖的行动而在内疚、怀疑或受伤的良心中挣扎之人的鼓励。
The author expertly weaves scriptural exegesis with reasoned argumentation to show that it is possible—and at times necessary—for Christians to stand up against corrupt or oppressive authorities while still maintaining a clear conscience before God.
作者巧妙地将经文释经与理性论证编织在一起，以表明基督徒对抗腐败或压迫的权柄不仅是可能的——有时甚至是必要的——同时还能在神面前保持无亏的良心。
Throughout the book, Bridge argues for the legitimacy of defensive resistance in situations where rulers, by their injustice or incompetence, endanger the wellbeing of the people.
贯穿全书，布里奇论证了防御性抵抗的合法性，即在统治者因其不公或无能而危及人民福祉的情况下。
He contends that lawful government exists to preserve justice and liberty, and when it fails in these responsibilities, it is permissible—if not a duty—for the people, represented by Parliament, to seek redress and protection through resistance.
他主张，合法政府的存在是为了维护正义和自由，当它未履行这些责任时，由议会代表的人民寻求补救并通过抵抗寻求保护，即便不是一种责任，也是被允许的。
In this, he emphasizes the divine right of self-preservation grounded in natural law and biblical precedent, using figures like David, who defended himself against King Saul’s tyranny.
在此，他强调了基于自然法和圣经先例的自我保全的神圣权利，并使用了像大卫这样的人物为例，大卫曾抵御扫罗王的暴政以自卫。
The treatise also explores key theological concepts such as the divine right of kings, the nature of obedience and authority, and the role of conscience in guiding Christian conduct.
这篇论文还探讨了关键的神学概念，如君权神授、顺服与权柄的本质，以及良心在引导基督徒行为中的作用。
Bridge’s pastoral tone shines through as he comforts those whose consciences are troubled by the complexities of civil disobedience, urging them to trust in God’s sovereignty while making righteous decisions grounded in Scripture and natural justice.
布里奇牧养的语调贯穿始终，他安慰那些因公民不服从的复杂性而良心不安的人，敦促他们信靠神的主权，同时基于圣经和自然公义做出正直的决定。
Additionally, this second edition of Bridge’s work contains three sermons.
此外，布里奇著作的这个第二版包含了三篇讲道。
One addresses the need for courage in times of upheaval, another identifies the hindrances to God’s mercies upon England and prescribes remedies, and the third prepares believers to suffer faithfully in times of persecution and loss.
一篇探讨了在动荡时期对勇气的需要，另一篇指出了神对英国施怜悯的阻碍并开出了补救良方，第三篇预备信徒在迫害和丧失的时期忠心地受苦。
These sermons further establish Bridge as not only a theological mind but also a pastor deeply concerned with the spiritual welfare of his congregation amidst the plundering and chaos of civil war.
这些讲道进一步确立了布里奇不仅是一位神学思想家，也是一位在内战的劫掠和混乱中深深关切会众属灵福祉的牧师。
