Lastly, Men are not disquieted in soul for sin; Why so? Because of an inconsiderateness of the omnipotency and all-seeing eye of God; though men be not doctrinal Atheists, to hold this opinion, that God doth not see all things; yet men are practical Atheists, to live and continue so in an evil way, as if God did not see them; we read in Job 28. 13, 14. And thou sayest, How can the Lord know? can he judge through the dark clouds? Thick clouds are a covering to him that he seeth not, and he walketh in the circuit of Heaven. The Lord doth not see, nor doth the holy one regard; is there not a cloud between him and us? the Psalmist hath a passage, the wicked doth make a tush of sin; tush, say they, The Lord regards it not: What is the reason men make but a tush of sin? why, they do not think that God regards sin; sin doth not trouble them, and doth not disquiet them, ⟨p. 200⟩Because they think God doth not behold them; they are inconsiderate of the omnipotency of God.
