Third mark. That godly sorrow is of general extent: it mourns as well for small sins as great: so David, whose heart was smitten for cutting off but the lap of Sauls garment. For secret sins as well as for open, for such sins as men applaud and countenance, as well as for those they cry shame of, for that sorrow which is caused by the conscience we have of the breach of Gods commandment, makes no difference of sin, whether open or secret, approved or disliked by men; since the conscience is equally bound, as well in the one as the other. Hence it is that Gods children do weep in secret for such sins as none can accuse them of, and accordingly cease not to pray to be cleansed from them, Psal. 19.12.1 O cleanse thou me from secret faults.
