A92846	The anatomy of secret sins, presumptuous sins, sins in dominion, & uprightness. Wherein divers weighty cases are resolved in relation to all those particulars: delivered in divers sermons preached at Mildreds in Bread-street London, on Psalm 19. 12, 13. Together with the remissibleness of all sin, and the irremissibleness of the sin against the Holy Ghost preached before an honourable auditory. By that reverend and faithfull minister of the Gospel, Mr. Obadiah Sedgwick, B.D. Perfected by himself, and published by those whom he intrusted with his notes.	Sedgwick, Obadiah, 1600?-1658.; Chambers, Humphrey, 1598 or 9-1662.	1660 (1660)	Wing S2363; Thomason E1003_1; ESTC R203493	249,727	327

with_o his_o tongue_n and_o his_o thought_n will_v do_v that_o which_o his_o hand_n dare_v not_o to_o execute_v well_o then_o sin_n may_v be_v call_v secret_a when_o it_o be_v sin_n and_o act_v as_o sin_n even_o there_o where_o none_o but_o god_n and_o conscience_n can_v see_v i_o think_v sin_n be_v like_o a_o candle_n in_o a_o lauterne_a where_o the_o shine_a be_v first_o within_o and_o then_o

the_o mind_n and_o then_o it_o break_v abroad_o and_o dare_v adventure_v the_o practice_n of_o itself_o to_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n and_o be_v it_o that_o it_o may_v never_o see_v the_o

nature_n so_o sin_n be_v true_o sin_n though_o it_o never_o it_o get_v out_o beyond_o the_o womb_n which_o do_v conceive_v and_o enliven_v it_o now_o whether_o david_n do_v speak_v of_o secret_a sin_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n or_o to_o his_o own_o sensible_a eye_n i_o such_o as_o corrupt_a nature_n do_v commit_v within_o his_o own_o heart_n or_o whether_o he_o intend_v it_o of_o both_o it_o may_v be_v much_o dispute_v for_o my_o part_n i_o conjecture_v that_o it_o may_v be_v understand_v both_o of_o such_o which_o he_o may_v commit_v in_o private_a &_o so_o the_o word_n respect_v the_o act_n of_o sin_n in_o secret_a &_o also_o which_o his_o own_o heart_n &_o thought_n may_v commit_v within_o themselves_o and_o so_o the_o word_n respect_v the_o secret_a act_n of_o sin_n though_o principal_o they_o may_v be_v most_o fit_o expound_v in_o this_o latter_a sense_n but_o what_o be_v those_o secret_a sin_n from_o which_o david_n desire_v to_o be_v cleanse_v nay_o that_o be_v a_o secret_a he_o do_v not_o instance_n in_o any_o one_o because_o his_o desire_n be_v to_o be_v free_v from_o every_o one_o he_o speak_v indefinite_o he_o find_v many_o secret_a inclination_n without_o all_o doubt_n in_o several_a kind_n of_o sin_n now_o in_o one_o now_o in_o another_o from_o all_o of_o which_o not_o some_o only_a he_o desire_v to_o be_v cleanse_v sect_n ii_o 2._o but_o what_o be_v that_o to_o be_v cleanse_v there_o be_v two_o exposition_n of_o it_o 1._o one_o be_v that_o he_o desire_v to_o be_v justify_v to_o be_v pardon_v those_o cleanse_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v cleanse_v sin_n and_o so_o the_o hebrew_n word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d do_v import_v in_o the_o second_o conjugation_n immunem_fw-la aliquem_fw-la facere_fw-la a_o culpa_fw-la vel_fw-la a_o poena_fw-la and_o indeed_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n which_o justify_v be_v a_o cleanse_a justify_v to_o be_v justify_v thing_n it_o wipe_v off_o the_o guilt_n now_o if_o this_o be_v it_o then_o thus_o much_o be_v evident_a that_o secret_a thought_n and_o inclination_n may_v be_v sinful_a and_o be_v damnable_a or_o else_o they_o be_v not_o pardonable_a 2._o another_o be_v that_o he_o desire_v more_o to_o be_v sanctify_v and_o that_o his_o sanctify_a to_o be_v more_o sanctify_a nature_n may_v be_v more_o change_v not_o only_o that_o outward_a sinning_n may_v be_v abandon_v but_o even_o inward_a act_n or_o motion_n may_v be_v subdue_v and_o observe_v he_o do_v desire_n to_o be_v cleanse_v he_o do_v not_o desire_v to_o be_v dip_v only_o into_o the_o water_n or_o sprinkle_v he_o do_v not_o desire_v only_o to_o be_v a_o little_a rinse_v but_o he_o desire_v to_o be_v wash_v so_o desire_n 3._o thing_n employ_v in_o this_o desire_n long_o until_o he_o be_v cleanse_v until_o his_o soul_n be_v make_v clean_o and_o pure_a and_o free_a from_o those_o secret_a sinfulness_n where_o observe_v by_o the_o way_n three_o thing_n first_o he_o who_o have_v receive_v true_a grace_n need_v more_o grace_n our_o life_n need_v to_o be_v still_o reform_v and_o our_o heart_n still_o to_o be_v cleanse_v grace_n he_o who_o have_v receive_v true_a grace_n need_v more_o grace_n the_o soul_n be_v such_o a_o vessel_n as_o continual_o be_v gather_v in_o and_o send_v out_o what_o be_v corrupt_a and_o evil_a it_o be_v like_o a_o fountain_n which_o you_o need_v still_o be_v lave_v of_o it_o out_o 2._o again_o the_o progress_n and_o perfection_n of_o cleanse_v the_o soul_n appertain_v beginning_n the_o progress_n of_o cleanse_v the_o soul_n belong_v to_o god_n as_o well_o as_o the_o beginning_n to_o god_n as_o well_o as_o the_o beginning_n the_o physician_n must_v go_v through_o with_o his_o

of_o divine_a providence_n which_o manifest_v itself_o in_o the_o motion_n and_o course_n of_o the_o heavenly_a body_n concern_v which_o the_o psalmist_n speak_v much_o from_o v._o 1._o to_o the_o 7._o saint_n austin_n upon_o the_o place_n be_v of_o a_o quite_o different_a opinion_n who_o conjecture_n that_o christ_n be_v the_o whole_a subject_n of_o this_o psalm_n who_o person_n be_v compare_v

sun_n which_o pierce_v into_o the_o very_a heart_n of_o the_o earth_n so_o that_o into_o the_o secret_n of_o the_o soul_n i_o confess_v this_o allegorical_a exposition_n be_v not_o altogether_o impertinent_a neither_o be_v that_o literal_a exposition_n of_o saint_n chrysostom_n to_o be_v blame_v for_o it_o have_v its_o weight_n but_o to_o omit_v all_o variety_n of_o conjecture_n this_o psalm_n contain_v in_o it_o creature_n the_o content_n of_o the_o psalm_n a_o double_a knowledge_n of_o god_n by_o the_o book_n of_o the_o creature_n a_o double_a kind_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o

and_o as_o every_o creature_n so_o especial_o the_o heaven_n do_v lead_v we_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o a_o god_n so_o v._n 1._o of_o this_o psalm_n the_o heaven_n declare_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o firmament_n show_v his_o handy_a work_n they_o be_v the_o theatre_n as_o it_o be_v of_o his_o wisdom_n and_o power_n and_o glory_n another_o be_v by_o the_o book_n of_o scripture_n and_o this_o knowledge_n scripture_n the_o book_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v far_o more_o distinct_a and_o explicit_a with_o the_o other_o even_o the_o heathen_n do_v grope_v after_o a_o deity_n but_o with_o this_o christian_n do_v behold_v god_n as_o it_o be_v with_o open_a face_n the_o character_n here_o be_v now_o fresh_a spiritual_a complete_a and_o lively_a the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v the_o singular_a mean_n to_o know_v god_n aright_o look_v as_o the_o light_n which_o come_v from_o the_o sun_n so_o that_o word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v light_n be_v the_o clear_a way_n to_o know_v god_n who_o be_v light_v itself_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o psalmist_n stand_v much_o upon_o this_o from_o v._o 7._o to_o v._o 12._o where_o he_o set_v open_v the_o word_n in_o its_o several_a encomium_n and_o operation_n viz._n in_o its_o perfection_n its_o certainty_n and_o firmness_n its_o righteousness_n and_o purity_n and_o truth_n and_o then_o in_o its_o efficacy_n that_o it_o be_v a_o convert_v word_n a_o illightning_n word_n a_o instruct_v word_n a_o rejoice_v word_n a_o desirable_a word_n a_o warn_a word_n and_o a_o reward_v word_n 2._o a_o singular_a and_o experimental_a knowledge_n of_o himself_o so_o it_o himself_o the_o experimental_a knowledge_n of_o himself_o seem_v that_o that_o word_n which_o david_n do_v so_o much_o commend_v he_o do_v commend_v it_o from_o a_o experimental_a efficacy_n he_o have_v find_v it_o to_o be_v a_o righteous_a and_o holy_a and_o pure_a and_o discover_v word_n lay_v open_a not_o only_o visible_a and_o gross_a transgression_n but_o also_o like_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n those_o otherwise_o inobserved_a and_o secret_a atom_n of_o sense_n fly_v within_o the_o house_n i_o mean_v in_o the_o secret_a chamber_n of_o the_o soul_n now_o in_o this_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n which_o the_o psalmist_n set_v text._n the_o part_n of_o the_o text._n down_o 1._o a_o sad_a complaint_n of_o his_o ignorance_n who_o can_v understand_v his_o ignorance_n a_o sad_a complaint_n of_o his_o ignorance_n error_n as_o paul_n in_o his_o case_n speak_v the_o law_n be_v holy_a and_o just_a and_o good_a and_o spiritual_a but_o i_o be_o sell_v under_o sin_n rom._n 7._o 12_o 14._o so_o david_n here_o the_o law_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v pure_a and_o righteous_a and_o perfect_a but_o i_o be_o very_o sinful_a many_o sin_n i_o see_v in_o myself_o and_o more_o there_o be_v which_o i_o can_v espy_v i_o can_v find_v they_o out_o nay_o i_o think_v say_v he_o every_o man_n sin_n do_v arise_v beyond_o his_o account_n he_o can_v give_v a_o full_a and_o entire_a list_n of_o they_o who_o can_v understand_v his_o error_n 2._o a_o earnest_a request_n and_o that_o for_o three_o thing_n sin_n a_o earnest_a request_n to_o be_v cleanse_v from_o secret_a sin_n one_o be_v to_o be_v cleanse_v from_o secret_a sin_n which_o word_n some_o expound_v that_o he_o desire_v to_o be_v pardon_v not_o only_o his_o know_a but_o also_o his_o unknown_a sin_n yet_o other_o conjecture_v that_o his_o desire_n reach_v to_o sanctification_n which_o may_v prevail_v not_o only_o against_o open_a but_o the_o private_a and_o close_a method_n of_o sin_v 2._o another_o be_v to_o be_v keep_v from_o presumptuous_a sin_n v._o 13._o saint_n sin_n to_o be_v keep_v from_o presumptuous_a sin_n austin_n and_o other_o read_v it_o a_o superbiis_n contine_n servum_fw-la tuum_fw-la keep_v back_o thy_o servant_n from_o pride_n i_o think_v their_o reason_n be_v because_o 1._o pride_n be_v a_o bold_a and_o presume_a sin_n 2._o and_o it_o be_v that_o which_o be_v the_o main_a ingredient_n of_o a_o presumptuous_a kind_n of_o sin_v even_o good_a man_n have_v the_o root_n of_o high_a transgression_n within_o they_o into_o which_o they_o may_v fall_v if_o corruption_n may_v have_v its_o swinge_n and_o if_o they_o do_v not_o fall_v into_o they_o it_o be_v not_o because_o they_o be_v able_a alone_o to_o keep_v themselves_o but_o because_o god_n do_v by_o his_o spirit_n of_o grace_n keep_v they_o back_o 3._o a_o three_o be_v the_o order_n of_o his_o word_n and_o thought_n which_o he_o thought_n the_o order_n of_o his_o word_n and_o thought_n desire_v may_v be_v so_o compose_v that_o they_o may_v be_v always_o acceptable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n v._o 14._o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v o_o lord_n i_o do_v not_o only_o desire_v to_o be_v keep_v from_o the_o vile_a way_n of_o sin_n but_o from_o all_o whatsoever_o i_o will_v not_o only_o not_o be_v wicked_a but_o i_o pray_v thou_o that_o i_o may_v be_v good_a as_o i_o will_v not_o do_v evil_a so_o i_o will_v not_o speak_v evil_a nay_o as_o i_o will_v not_o speak_v so_o i_o will_v not_o think_v evil_a i_o desire_v to_o be_v so_o as_o that_o i_o may_v be_v

to_o think_v so_o that_o i_o may_v be_v acceptable_a in_o thy_o sight_n in_o my_o poor_a conjecture_n you_o have_v in_o david_n here_o a_o lively_a copy_n of_o a_o upright_a heart_n which_o be_v true_o plain_a all_o over_o and_o pitch_v upon_o this_o that_o it_o may_v be_v acceptable_a with_o god_n and_o that_o it_o may_v be_v so_o it_o will_v be_v wrinse_v of_o all_o sin_n not_o only_o

even_o of_o the_o very_a thought_n and_o meditation_n of_o the_o heart_n i_o shall_v not_o speak_v of_o david_n complaint_n v._o 13._o who_o can_v understand_v his_o error_n only_o a_o word_n and_o
