1. That wee feare to commit any sinne secretly, and when wee are alone, as well as when wee are in the presence of men. 1So did Iob, and so did Ioseph: and this mooued them so to doe, euen that the Lord did behold them, and could punish them for secret, as well as for open offences.

What is this, but to be painted sepulchres, that are fair to look upon, but within full of rotten bones? 1We may deceive men, but God is not deceived: and therefore let us beware of this hypocrisy: and so much the rather, because the Lord hath fearfully discovered and plagued them, that in outward show have borne a great countenance of religion, and yet have lived in secret filthiness, and other vile sins, which in time have come to light to their shame and ruin.
