1. Not only such sins 'as 'men' especially conceal, but such as ný wld not commit if ny could not flatur ym selves ny sld conceal -- ye hope and prospect of secresy is ye great temptation to it, together' wth wicked pro- pensities of ye heart such as secret neglect of duty in ye closet-of publick worshipL" or living in infidelity and not having God in all yr thoughts ; and yet wld not be content wthout some form or appearance of religion -a man wld not live wthout Family Prayer, under a visi-profession if his conduct ws open before all-such, also, as theft and lying-as Annanias-such, also as family quarrels and contentions in ye house -- such, also, as fornication' and adultery -- ye eye of ye adulterer waits for twilight, saying, no eye sll see' me and ye morn ing is to ym' as ye shadow of death-if one know ym ny are in ye terror of ye shadow of death-Job 24, 15:17. So all soul Idolatry could not be practiced if known,

THE RECORD.


it is an affront to suspect ym of it- 'education or faithful, ministry- like the cloud Elijah saw. Ezekiel 8:12. Son of man hast yos seen wt ye antients of ye house of Israel do in ye 4 2. God has threatened It and, his word sil find you out -- Num. 32:23 -- an adequate pun- ishment. . dark ev man in ye house of his imagery for not fall to ye ground " and be sure yt sin wll ny say, ye Lord seeth us not-so ny set up Idols in yr heart-such, also, as flying from duty-as Jonah.


2. When men seek secrecy fyr sins be- cause ny are Atheists, and I don't believe yr are any greater Atheists in ye world yn ys yt habitually practice secret sins, if I had beheld ye sun or moon etc., I sld have denied ye God yt is above-Job 31, 26:28. And ny say how doth God know-Psa. 73:11 and 139, 9:10 If I take ye wings of ye morning -- ye fear of man.


From ye odious nature of sin it cannot bear ye light-every one yt doeth evil-Jno. 3:20-especially some sins such as theft and lying-all kinds of : uncleanliness-indeed+adultry, Because yr is a day appointed to such is ye vile nature of sin yt men must be amazingly hard and impious yt do not in some way cover its maligniry and palliate it -Adam's fig-leaf. 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: 3. Ye great absurdity of secrecy in sin. set our iniquities before yee, our secret sins in ye light of yr countenance,


1. God created all-nothing can be hid- sll ye thing framed say of him yt made it, he hath no understanding-Isa. 29:16.


2. Upholds all.


3. Governs all -- He rules by his power- for ever, his eyes behold ye nations, let not ye rebellious exalt ymselves-Psa. 66:7.


4, He has his scouts and witnesses alway at hand-conscience, I mean-and if our heart condemn, &c.


5. God knows our thoughts yt are more secret yn actions-Psa. 139:2. Yos under- standest my thoughts afar off.


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 --


I. Because secret sins pave ye way to apostasy-sins do not rise to greatest height at once, especially under a good


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


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. I, 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 to awaken to repentance; you think no danger ; always in danger out of X.
