Now 'tis very natural for sinners to endeavour the hiding of themselves from God upon a two-fold account; First, To avoid shame; All sinners are not altogether deboist, all have not altogether baffled their own consciences, they have a kind of modesty, they would not be seen sinning; it troubles them not to do evil, but a fear to be detected in doing it is their trouble. Secondly, Sinners hide themselves for fear; so Adam did, he wa• afraid as well as ashamed, I was afraid (said he) because I was naked, and I hid my self, (Gen. 3.10.) The Prophet tells us of such (Isa. 2.21.) They shall go into the clefts of the rock, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his Majesty, when he shall arise to shake terribly the earth. We find all sorts call to the hills to hide them, for fear of him that sate on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, (Rev. 6.15, 16.)
