The works of George Swinnock, M.A

The thought of this Omnipresence of God, will affrighten thee from sin; Gehezi durst not ask or receive any part of Naamans Presents in his Masters presence, but when he had got out of Elisha's sight, then he tells his lye, and gives way to his lust;¹ Men never sin more freely, then when they presume upon secrecy. They break in pieces thy people, O Lord, and afflict thine heritage. They slay the Widow, and Stranger, and murder the Fatherless; yet they say, The Lord doth not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it, Psa. 94. 5, 6, 7. Eliphaz, though falsely, accused Job as guilty of the same crime, upon the same account, Job 22. 5, 6, 7, 13, 14. They who shut God out of their hearts, shut him also out of the world, through their atheism, and then are at liberty ⟨p. 732⟩for all manner of wickedness; They who abounded in abominations, said, The Lord seeth us not, the Lord hath forsaken the earth, Ezek. 8. 9, 10, 12.
