3. The Burial of sin includeth the removal of it out of our sight, and as much as may be out of our thoughts. We love not to look upon dead friends, nor many times to think or talk of them, who while they lived were pleasing objects to our eyes, and the delightful matter of our discourse. While Sarah lived she was beautiful in Abraham's eyes, but when dead, he desired to have her removed out of his sight, Gen. 23.4. I am a stranger and a sojourner with you, give me possession of a burying place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight. The presence of sin is a trouble to you when it is dead, and you would have it out of your sight; and this removal of sin, when dead and buried hath these three properties.

First, It is a total removal, the whole body of sin, and all the members of it are buried; Death might arise from the disease of some particular part, but burial covers all. He that makes a show of the burial of sin, and yet keeps any in his heart as his love and delight, hath indeed buried no sin: For who doth so bury his friend as to keep any of his members in his house?
