Take one more instance, Psa. 6.1. where David prayeth God would not rebuke him in his hot displeasure, Compare this with Jer. 10.24. where you see the servants of God do suppose an anger from God will fall on them for their sins, and they do not refuse his rebukes, only they desire God would moderate and set bounds to his wrath, that it may not overwhelm them. Many other places there are, where its plain, the people of God praying, do suppose him to be angry with them for their sins; and it is a truth so engraven in the heart of a godly man, that no error can ever quite obliturate it.

A sixth sort of Arguments shall be from those places,1 where God is said to take notice of our sin, more then we can or do, 1 Joh. 3.18, 19, 20. where the Apostle presseth believers to a sincere love of one another with this Argument, that hereby we shall assure ⟨p. 64⟩our hearts before him; the Greek word signifieth to persuade, and doth excellently set forth the difficulty of being assured in Gods presence. Now this great benefit he illustrates by the contrary, if our hearts condemn us, God is greater then our hearts; and this holdeth universally in every holy duty, as well as that of love: if our hearts condemn us for hypocrisy, and insincerity in them, God doth much more, for he knoweth more evil by our selves then we do. Now how can this Apostolical assertion be true, if so be God took no notice, or were not offended at the sins of his people? Its an argument of sweet meditation to humble us, that if where there is but a drop of grace, our sins are so loathsome and offensive; how much more must they be to the ocean of all purity?
