THE Anatomy OF SECRET SINS:
THE Anatomy OF SECRET SINNES:
PSALM 19. 12. Who can understand his Errors? Cleanse thou me from secrets: or from secret sins, or faults.
Saint Chrysostom conjectures that the main intention of the greatest part of this Psalm consists in the discovery of divine providence, which manifests it self in the motions and courses of the heavenly bodies, concerning which the Psalmist speaketh much, from v. 1. to the 7. Saint Augustine (upon the place) is of a quite different opinion, who conjectures that Christ is the whole subject of this Psalm: whose person is compared to the Sun for excellency and beauty, and the course of whose doctrine was dispersed ⟨p. 2⟩round about the world by his Apostles, to which Saint Paul alludes, (Rom. 10. 18. Have they not heard, yes, verily their sound went into all the earth, &c.) and the efficacy of whose Gospel is like the heat of the Sun, which pierceth into the very heart of the earth, so that into the secrets of the soul.
