The fourth (and last) volume of discourses, or sermons, on several scriptures

First, Because God is in all things, therefore he sees and knows all things. The Omniscience of God is grounded upon his Omnipresence, Jer. 23.24. Can any hide himself in secret places, that I shall not see him, saith the Lord; do not I fill Heaven and Earth, saith the Lord? Nothing in Heaven or Earth can be hid or concealed from God's Eye, Heb. 4.13. All things are naked and opened before the Lord. There is no Corner so retired, so shady, so dark, no Gulf so deep, that can hide any thing from the piercing discovery of his Eye: He knows our Thoughts, those Nimble and those Spiritual Things, that are so quick in their flight that they cannot be seized upon by any Creature in the World; God knows them, the Devil cannot know them, nor can an Angel ⟨p. 463⟩know them; yet God discerns our Thoughts more clearly than we can discern the Faces of one another; he sees our Thoughts afar off, as the Psalmist tells us; he sees our Thoughts in their first Conception, when they first begin to heave in our Breasts; he knows the least Windings and Turnings of our Souls. Now would not this compose us to an habitual and holy Awe of God, to be continually thinking that whatsoever we do, God's Eye is now upon us? Let every one say within himself, Where-ever I am, or whatever I do, I am in the Presence of the Holy God, who takes notice of all my Carriages; there is not a Glance of mine Eye, but his Eye observes it; there is not an irreverent or unseemly Gesture, but he takes notice of it; there is not a Thought of mine can escape, but he knows that Thought; and he knows my Down-lying and Up-rising, &c. Let this Consideration season your Lives and Conversations; be still pondering in your Minds, That whatsoever you are doing, his Eye is upon you, and he is present with you.
