Many people have Sinned Horribly, upon a presumption that they Sinned Secretly: But the Judgments of God, have been wonderfully and prodigiously, and stupendously Displayed, in the Discovering of Secret Sinners, among us. David no doubt, promised himself, an Everlasting Secrecy, of his Transgression: Thou didst it Secretly, said the Prophet; And the Psalmist, calling to mind that word, owned in Psal. 51.4. Against Thee, Thee only have I Sinned; And the Evil I have done in Thy Sight. None was privy to the Crime, except one man, who was a Partner in it. Yea, but, Says the Lord, I'll make all Israel Hear of it! The Sin-Confounding Judgments of God, made all the Sin to come out. Sirs, Those Judgments of God, have been so Exemplified among our selves, That I cannot imagine how some Guilty Wretches, whose Crimes are hitherto Secret, are able to Walk about, having the Terrors of the Shadow of Death upon their Souls.

How many Secret Murders, have strangely been Discovered among us! And, I believe, there are yet more to be Discovered.
