I answer, No, by no means; for these Reasons,
First, Gods covering of sin is to be limited only to condemnation, as I have proved; Davids sin was at the same time open to God, and covered; open to fatherly chastisements, covered to revengeful condemnation. God did see it as a Father to be angry with him, not as a Judge to hate him.
First, Gods covering of sinne is to be limited only to condemnation, as I have proved; Davids sinne was at the same time open to God, and covered; open to fatherly chastisements, covered to revengefull condemnation. God did see it as a Father to be angry with him, not as a Judge to hate him.
2. Because this covering is limited to those sins which are pa•, and repented of; not to new sins committed; they are not covered without a new gracious act of Gods favour. David before this sin committed that is spoken of in the Psalm, he had his former sins covered, but this was not covered, till he did acknowledge it, and then saith he, Thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin: Though therefore God should not see the sins past, yet the new ones committed, they are taken notice of by him.
