1 That God may most clearly view all things being and done in this world; it is said to be in his sight, as clear as Crystal. As in Crystal there is nothing so little, but it may be seen: so there is nothing ⟨p. 51⟩on earth, said or done, so slight or small, that it may escape his all-seeing providence. Heb. 4. Omnia ¹sunt nuda et patentia oculis eius. There is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him, with whom we have to do.

Let us not flatter our selves, with those, Psal. 10. that say in their heart; God hath forgotten; he hideth his face, he will never see it: and so ⁵endeavour to pluck out the eye of knowledge it self. But there is neither couch in chamber, nor vault in the ground, clouds of day, darkness of night; bottoms of Mountains, nor holes of Rocks, nor depth of Seas; secret friend, nor more secret conscience,
