Many that hav• made a great Profession, that walked in Fellowship with the people of God, that sate down with them at the Lord's Table, will then be found standing at the left hand of Jesus Christ, and their Hypocrisy discovered. And it will be a Day of great Discovery, as to the Works of men. Eccles. 12.14. For God shall bring every work into Judgement, with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil. Secret Thefts, secret Uuncleanesses, Secret Adulteries, all will come out, and the whole ⟨p. 72⟩World shall hear of those things at the day of Judgment. Yea; the very thoughts of men will be discovered. The secrets of all hearts will be disclosed in that day 1. Cor. 4.5. The good Designs and gracious purposes which have been in the hearts of holy men, the Lord Jesus will then reveal them and speak of them to their praise, before all the World. And the evil purposes, and wicked thoughts which have been in the hearts of ungodly men shall then be told of, to their everlasting shame.
