SECT. III.
1. Fill your mind with actual, believing thoughts of Gods all-seeing eye. When you are tempted to sin in secret, consider God seeth you: ⟨p. 232⟩All the thoughts of your heart, and all the motions of your affections are known to him, 2 Cor. 4.2. But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the Word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth, commending our selves to every mans conscience in the sight of God. Psal. 139.11. If I say the darkness shall cover me, even the night shall be light about me. Ver. 12. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee, but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. It is the Atheism and Infidelity of mens hearts that encourageth them to sin, because it is secret.
