God is said to be of purer eye• then to behold iniquity ▪ that is, with approbation, and so in this sense, we may say, God seeth no sin, no not in wicked men: Besides it is very false, that the Scripture doth no where say, that he seeth sin in Believers; for it is expressly said of Davids numbering the people, and of his murder, that it was evil in Gods eyes, and he confesses that he had done that evil in Gods sight. But of this more hereafter.
