1A second Text to this purpose, is, Psal. 90.8. Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. Where Moses the pen-man of the Psalm, speaks in the behalf of the Church then afflicted, that God had put their sins before him; so that God did not only take notice of them to chastise them, but he put them before his eyes. How the sin of a justified man, may at the same time be covered, and yet put before God, is to be showed in answering their Objections. And the Text to put the matter out of all doubt, addeth in close, they are before the light of his countenance, which is very emphatical. God (as is to be showed) hath in the Scripture a three-fold eye, to our purpose, the eye of omniscience (which the Antinomian will grant) and all agree in; the eye of his anger, which they deny; and an eye of condemnation which the Papist pleads for: now we go further then the Antinomian, we say God hath an eye of omniscience, and of anger, upon the sins of justified persons, but not so far as the Papist, to say he hath the eye of condemnation upon them.2 You would think this Text stood unmoveable, but let us hear how they would shake it.
