The application of redemption

For since here we must learn to chase out and keep out such imaginations, by setting up the light of the truth in our minds and listening wholly thereunto. So the psalmist shows the cause, and applies the cure, Psal. 94. 8. Understand ye brutish among the people and ye fools when will ye be wise. He that planted the ear shall not he hear; he that formed the eye shall not he see? Yea the Lord professeth to take notice of these mens ways in an especial manner, & to make privy search after them, Zeph. 1. 12. he will search Jerusalem with candles and visit such as sit upon their lees and say who sees us, you shall find he knows both good and evil and he will work both as a reward to such as deserve. This Job felt by experience Job, 14 16. For now thou numberest my steps, dost thou not watch our my sins, my transgression […] sealed up in a bag. and thou shalt find it so, the Lord will follow thee step by step; and track and trace thee in all thy wanderings and keeps an account of all thy sins sealed up as it were in bags.
