For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil, Eccles. 12. 14. At the great day of Judgment, whereof Solomon had made mention before, all the ways and works of wickedness, all the deceits of men, though never so closely committed, shall be discovered to the view of all. And therefore the day of Judgment is called (Rom. 2. 5.) the day of Revelation; because then all the hidden things of dishonesty, all frauds and deceits shall be made manifest.
