they_o hear_v by_o whoever_o else_o he_o please_v and_o by_o this_o very_a mean_n the_o prophet_n elisha_n may_v hear_v what_o be_v speak_v in_o the_o king_n of_o assyria_n bedchamber_n 2_o king_n vi_fw-la 12._o as_o well_o as_o by_o the_o intercourse_n or_o ministry_n of_o a_o angel_n ii_o though_o our_o act_n of_o see_v be_v confine_v to_o the_o assistance_n of_o outward_a light_n we_o must_v not_o conclude_v that_o of_o other_o be_v so_o if_o i_o say_v per_fw-la adventure_n darkness_n shall_v cover_v i_o then_o shall_v my_o night_n be_v turn_v into_o day_n the_o darkness_n be_v no_o darkness_n with_o thou_o the_o light_n and_o darkness_n to_o thou_o be_v both_o alike_o say_v the_o psalmist_n nay_o we_o may_v learn_v from_o the_o most_o contemptible_a creature_n that_o outward_a light_n be_v not_o necessary_a to_o see_v for_o the_o bat_n and_o the_o owl_n can_v see_v without_o it_o and_o perhaps_o providence_n design_v these_o contemptible_a creature_n to_o teach_v we_o the_o lesson_n that_o darkness_n be_v no_o cover_v and_o to_o provoke_v unto_o jealousy_n and_o apprehension_n that_o thousand_o may_v see_v our_o retire_a action_n who_o we_o see_v not_o and_o therefore_o foolish_o be_v not_o aware_a of_o they_o good_a spirit_n can_v see_v we_o and_o lament_v and_o evil_a spirit_n can_v see_v we_o and_o rejoice_v at_o the_o issue_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o folly_n iii_o it_o be_v god_n that_o teach_v man_n knowledge_n shall_v not_o he_o know_v we_o allow_v that_o god_n give_v we_o the_o whole_a faculty_n and_o power_n of_o know_v and_o if_o so_o to_o think_v that_o we_o can_v know_v any_o thing_n in_o ourselves_o which_o god_n do_v not_o know_v be_v a_o contradiction_n for_o it_o imply_v that_o we_o have_v power_n to_o know_v something_o without_o god_n the_o most_o awful_a faculty_n that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o and_o that_o which_o lie_v most_o under_o our_o present_a consideration_n be_v that_o of_o know_v or_o remember_v what_o we_o have_v do_v together_o with_o the_o consciousness_n of_o that_o good_a or_o evil_a that_o be_v in_o it_o now_o let_v we_o consider_v how_o this_o faculty_n perform_v its_o office_n how_o come_v we_o to_o know_v at_o any_o time_n what_o we_o have_v speak_v do_v or_o thought_n after_o once_o those_o act_n of_o speak_v do_v or_o think_v be_v pass_v be_v it_o not_o by_o see_v the_o image_n or_o impression_n which_o those_o several_a act_n do_v produce_v within_o we_o do_v we_o not_o by_o seek_v find_v such_o image_n of_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v speak_v do_v or_o think_v of_o several_a year_n before_o nay_o do_v not_o those_o image_n frequent_o present_v themselves_o without_o our_o seek_n and_o make_v we_o see_v they_o whether_o we_o will_v or_o no_o which_o be_v a_o proof_n that_o they_o have_v a_o real_a be_v and_o last_a subsistence_n within_o we_o and_o be_v whole_o independent_a on_o our_o will_n for_o we_o can_v extinguish_v or_o erase_v any_o of_o they_o at_o our_o pleasure_n we_o can_v do_v it_o will_v we_o never_o so_o fain_o we_o may_v conclude_v therefore_o that_o whatsoever_o we_o either_o speak_v or_o do_v purpose_n wish_v or_o design_n so_o far_o as_o these_o act_n be_v of_o a_o moral_a concern_v and_o bear_v relation_n to_o virtue_n or_o vice_n they_o leave_v the_o notice_n of_o themselves_o upon_o our_o conscience_n imprint_v there_o in_o character_n fair_a and_o intelligible_a nay_o i_o may_v add_v indelible_a too_o for_o though_o it_o must_v be_v allow_v that_o we_o forget_v many_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v be_v conscious_a of_o yet_o in_o that_o case_n the_o notice_n of_o such_o thing_n be_v not_o erase_v or_o extinguish_v they_o be_v only_o cover_v over_o there_o be_v no_o forgetfulness_n in_o a_o spirit_n its_o forgetfulness_n be_v only_o accidental_a and_o occasion_v by_o the_o impediment_n of_o the_o flesh_n as_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o sometime_o a_o man_n of_o a_o faithful_a memory_n will_v by_o the_o disorder_n of_o a_o sickness_n grow_v delirious_a and_o forget_v all_o that_o ever_o he_o know_v and_o yet_o upon_o the_o removal_n of_o his_o disease_n all_o his_o former_a notice_n will_v appear_v fresh_a again_o and_o how_o reasonable_a be_v it_o to_o believe_v that_o our_o soul_n whether_o in_o the_o state_n of_o separation_n from_o the_o body_n or_o of_o reunion_n to_o the_o body_n when_o defecated_a and_o make_v free_a from_o obstruction_n so_o far_o as_o all_o body_n even_o of_o the_o unjust_a shall_v be_v at_o the_o resurrection_n i_o say_v how_o reasonable_a be_v it_o to_o believe_v that_o our_o soul_n shall_v then_o have_v a_o clear_a view_n and_o perfect_a remembrance_n of_o all_o that_o we_o have_v do_v though_o now_o most_o of_o those_o notice_n lie_v in_o we_o like_o the_o inscription_n of_o a_o marble_n cover_v over_o with_o dust_n and_o rubbish_n now_o if_o conscience_n be_v thus_o like_o a_o write_a book_n and_o faithful_a register_n of_o our_o behaviour_n there_o be_v no_o room_n to_o doubt_v but_o god_n can_v read_v that_o book_n as_o well_o as_o we_o nay_o he_o can_v read_v through_o all_o those_o impediment_n that_o shade_n it_o which_o we_o can_v nay_o he_o can_v when_o he_o please_v make_v this_o book_n legible_a to_o all_o other_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v to_o ourselves_o for_o he_o can_v so_o far_o elevate_v the_o understanding_n of_o all_o man_n or_o open_v their_o eye_n in_o that_o sense_n that_o he_o be_v say_v to_o have_v open_v the_o eye_n of_o elisha_n servant_n that_o he_o may_v see_v the_o host_n of_o angel_n 2_o king_n vi_fw-la 14._o i_o say_v god_n can_v open_v the_o eye_n of_o all_o man_n to_o such_o a_o spiritual_a intuition_n as_o that_o all_o shall_v be_v able_a at_o a_o short_a glance_n to_o read_v each_o other_o history_n imprint_v on_o their_o conscience_n in_o intelligible_a signature_n as_o familiar_o as_o if_o it_o be_v grave_v on_o their_o forehead_n or_o print_v in_o a_o book_n and_o thus_o we_o may_v probable_o conceive_v that_o those_o book_n mention_v by_o the_o prophet_n daniel_n ch._n seven_o 10._o and_o by_o s._n john_n in_o his_o revelation_n ch._n xx_o 12._o book_n that_o be_v to_o be_v open_v in_o order_n to_o the_o universal_a judgement_n be_v no_o other_o than_o that_o volume_n of_o thing_n record_v in_o every_o man_n conscience_n which_o be_v open_v and_o expose_v to_o view_n shall_v make_v as_o it_o be_v a_o tally_n or_o counterpart_n to_o that_o memorial_n which_o god_n himself_o keep_v of_o all_o we_o do_v have_v say_v thus_o much_o for_o the_o state_v or_o explication_n of_o god_n omniscience_n i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o make_v some_o reflection_n upon_o the_o doctrine_n that_o may_v far_o conduce_v to_o practice_n god_n almighty_a have_v plant_v two_o passion_n in_o our_o soul_n who_o most_o proper_a use_n be_v to_o deter_v we_o from_o sin_n and_o they_o be_v shame_n and_o fear_n the_o object_n of_o fear_n be_v punishment_n and_o the_o object_n of_o shame_n be_v discovery_n and_o his_o omniscience_n do_v import_v both_o these_o consequence_n to_o sin_n viz._n that_o it_o shall_v be_v discover_v and_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v punish_v for_o god_n omniscience_n do_v not_o terminate_v in_o bare_a know_v he_o see_v and_o know_v in_o order_n to_o far_a act_n of_o justice_n so_o he_o tell_v jer._n xvii_o 19_o i_o the_o lord_n search_v the_o heart_n i_o try_v the_o reins_o even_o to_o give_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o way_n and_o according_a to_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o do_v i_o shall_v not_o now_o extend_v my_o reflection_n so_o far_o as_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n though_o that_o be_v of_o the_o most_o move_a importance_n i_o shall_v insist_v only_o upon_o the_o discovery_n of_o it_o and_o show_v what_o shame_n be_v threaten_v to_o it_o from_o god_n omniscience_n in_o order_n hereto_o my_o first_o inference_n from_o the_o doctrine_n shall_v be_v this_o viz._n that_o no_o sin_n can_v be_v secret_a absolute_o speak_v no_o sin_n can_v be_v so_o now_o do_v this_o notion_n sit_v so_o close_o upon_o our_o mind_n as_o it_o ought_v to_o do_v it_o will_v necessary_o be_v of_o great_a advantage_n to_o the_o cause_n of_o virtue_n because_o nothing_o give_v more_o occasion_n to_o sin_n in_o the_o world_n than_o the_o contrary_a expectation_n and_o hope_n of_o secrecy_n for_o even_o after_o a_o man_n have_v devest_v his_o soul_n of_o probity_n he_o can_v so_o easy_o divest_v it_o of_o shame_n and_o therefore_o when_o he_o have_v never_o so_o strong_a a_o inclination_n to_o sin_n yet_o still_o he_o will_v start_v at_o the_o apprehension_n of_o be_v discover_v and_o be_v still_o willing_a to_o retain_v that_o reputation_n which_o be_v the_o shadow_n of_o virtue_n though_o he_o have_v be_v so_o hardy_a as_o to_o shake_v
