6. God has discovered his knowledge of ye most secret actions-Achan-David's adultery-"yos didst it secretly, but, I wll do it before all Israel and before ye sun "- So Daniel calls him the revealer of secrets -2:28.
7. He is to be the final Judge of all na- tions, ytfore must be acquainted wth all se- crets-so he wll Judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, and bring every secret thing into judgement-Ecc. 12:14.
4. Prove ye doc. yt secret sins make way for open and awful judgements-
1. Because secret sins pave ye way to apostasy-sins do not rise to greatest to awaken to repentance; you think no height at once, especially under a good
education or faithful ministry -- like the cloud Elijah saw.
2. God has threatened it and his word sll not fall to ye ground-and be sure yt sin wll find you out --- Num. 32:23 -- an adequate pun- ishment.
3. From ye nature of sin-ye designs of Satan-sin is but ye fuel for a dreadful flame like fire under ground yt anon bursts forth wth terrible noise and destruction.
4. From example-strongest of evidence -so Achan discovered to all Israel and de- struction to himself-wy did he not fly the lot? Joseph's br. : Gehazi secretly told a lie ws openly struck with inveterate leprosy. I have read of one Bassus, a murderer, wo fancied ye chimney birds chattered out ye sentence-" Bassus killed a man," so con- fessed-and ye know ye case of David's adultry. Because yr is-a day appointed to discover and judge secret sins and villanies, Luke 8, 17. Nothing but wt sll be made known. Some yr fore sll rise to shame and everlasting contempt. Psa. 90, 8, yos hast set our iniquities before yee, our secret sins in ye light of yr countenance.
Imp .- see how this sld caution us against all sin and secret yt leads to others. God beholds ! and with detestation every secret sin, puts his patience to great trial, endures wth much longsuffering ye vessels of wrath, registers all and one day will make you see. I will set ym in order before yee. Psa. 50, 21, Yea, make all ye world see for he wll make known the hidden council of ye heart. How dreadful the case of open sin- ners yt declare yr sin as Sodom and seek not a cover-drunkards, profane swearers, Sabbath breakers, ungodly yt glory in yr shame.
Wonderful patience of God yt bears wth such a world of wickedness, secret and open, wonder ye world stands, tis for X sake : w' it not yt ye Lord had left us a rem- nant we had been as Sodom. Isa. 1, 9.
How strong ye subject recommends virtue, probity and sincerity, ye great guards against secret and open sins ; certainty of a judgment day ; some men's sins are open before, others follow after.
Exhort Xns to live near to God and duty ; keep conscience clean and tender; sinners danger ; always in danger out of X.
