The truly blessed man, or, The way to be happy here, and forever being…

2. God hereby lets men see that there is no im•sing on him. And it is high time for him so to •o, when they grow up to so much of Atheism •nd impudence; men would else begin to argue •hat he either did not know, or not regard, possibly that he approved of their follies, Psal. 50. 21. but when he takes them in their devices, and makes their Consciences fall on them, and terrify them, he giveth them an awful proof of his Omniscience: now he makes their Sins to find them out, and they are put upon confessing that he is not mocked.

3. Herein he discovers his just displeasure at sin. He hath indeed reserved the full discovery of this to be made in another World; yet he will make some displays of it here. He hath declared in his Word, that he is holy and just, that he cannot endure, but will punish Sin; but men scarce believe it, because vile Sinners go on and prosper: but when he maketh them feel the wounds in their Souls, and they are snared in their own handy work; here is terrible anger in this, and to be read in the faces of such; and ereby God giveth a further clear Testimony how hateful a thing sin is to his Holiness.
