Secondly, Our own consciences (which are as God within us) keep a record too, they write our lives, and count our steps. Many cannot read the book of conscience, and so know little that is in it: But a time will come (if conscience be not purged by the blood of Christ) when they shall perfectly read all their sins in the book of conscience. And if conscience, which is Gods deputy, then, much more God, who is the Judge of conscience marketh us if we sin. God needs not judge upon information, but upon his own observation. He will reprove every man whom he doth not pardon: And is able to set before us in order, whatsoever any of us have done. How then do some say, That God sees not sin in his children? Job saith, That God marked his sin; but according to this doctrine, he should rather have said, If I sin, thou dost not mark me. Some through ignorance sin, and see it not, sin and perceive it not; but no man (among all the multitudes of men) can sin unseen, or unperceived by God. If I sin, then thou markest me.

And thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.1
