Use of Admonition. Take heed of secret hidden sins, God will one day manifest what thou hast been. Oh it may be the world thought of all the men that lived, thou wouldst never do such and such things▪ but God knoweth thy down-sitting and uprising! Whither can you fly from his presence? Oh let every one then bewail the plague sore of his own heart! When Christ convinced the woman of Samaria of the secret sin she lived in, she crieth out, Come and hear one that hath told me all that ever I did, John 4. Prevent confusion hereafter at the day of judgment, by humble confession of all thy secret sins unto God, and he will not then upbraid thee.

Every mans work shall be made manifest.
This Proposition hath been handled as a general truth; and so is a thunder-bolt against all secret sins, what they do in secret, God will reward openly. The more secrecy, the more guilt.
