Or, Secondly, If a good mans ways lye hid from the world all the days of his life in this world, yet the Apostle assures him, that in the great day God will proclaim them in the ears of all the world. (1 Cor. 4.5.) Judge nothing before the time, till the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the Counsels of the heart. So then a day is coming which will make thorough lights in the world, and bring to light the most hidden things of the darkest darkness. And by these hidden things of darkness, and Counsels of the heart, we are to understand not only evil things, and wicked counsels (sure enough God will bring them to light) but even those righteous things, and good Counsels of the heart, which have lain in the dark, or unrevealed: God will bring to light all the hidden things of darkness, the good as well as the bad, and then shall every man, that is, every good man, every godly man, have praise of God. The praise of man is very pleasing unto man, but O how unspeakably pleasing is the praise of God! And this opens a vast difference, between the hypocrite and the sincere; Can a hypocrite rejoice in secret, saying thus; God knoweth the way that I take? ⟨p. 377⟩He cannot say thus; and I may say three things of the hypocrite in opposition to this.
