Answ. 5 Fifthly, a step further, It is possible that the conscience of a pardoned sinner may be in so deep a sleep, and so much out of office for a while, that he may rather put his wits a work to hide his sin, then his conscience on work to check him for sin; to give you an instance for this, plain in the case of David, David committed adultery with Bathsheba, but he did not put his conscience on work to check him for his sin, but he did put his wits on work to hide the sin. Four projects David had to hide the sin:
First, He sent for Uriah Bathsheba's husband, that so Uriah might come and lye with his wife, that so he might hide Davids uncleanness, 2. Sam. 11.
First, He sent for Vriah Bathsheba's husband, that so Vriah might come and lye with his wife, that so he might hide Davids uncleannesse, 2. Sam. 11.
Secondly, He made Uriah drunk, and so thought that surely when he was drunk, that drunkenness would provoke him with a desire to go to his own house.
Secondly, He made Vriah drunk, and so thought that surely when he was drunk, that drunkennesse would provoke him with a desire to go to his own house.
