God, who is holyer, and mightier then all men seeth vs euery where; there is not a thought in our heart, nor a word in our tongue, but hee knoweth it altogether, Psal. 139.2.4. And, our turning of de∣uices shall be but as the Potters clay, when
we seeke deepe to hide our counsell from the Lord, Esa. 29.14.15. Now doth the righteous God, who knoweth the hearts and reines, Psal. 7.9. and, who will bring e∣uery worke to iudgment, with euery secret thing, Eccles. 12.14. behold vs; and shall we not care how he seeth vs occupyed? Doth the presence of a mortall man or woman (sometimes) bridle vs from that we would doe? and vvill vve giue the bridle to all manner vvickednes, God looking on? Will a thiefe steale before him that he knoweth shall be his iudge? and shall we not tremble to doe euill in his sight who shall iudge the world? Gen, 18.15. Secondly, it is playne Idolatrie, more to feare Man, whose breath is in his nosthrils, then to feare God, who is the Fa∣ther of spirits, Esa. 51.12.13. and yet some, when they are in company vvith those vvhom they cannot but reuerence for their calling and graces, of vvhom they desire to be vvell thought and spo∣ken of, vvill make great shew of a desire to doe vvell themselues, and to bring their houses to good order, who (neuer∣thelesse) haue no care (afterwards) ey∣ther
for their owne persons, or their hou∣ses to doe thereafter.
