Christ's certain and sudden appearance to judgment. By Thomas Vincent, sometime Minister of Maudlins…

3. Gods Omniscience will be a witness against the wicke• ⟨p. 63⟩the day of Judgment: their sins have been all committed under the view of God's all-seeing eye: and they have bi•• noted down upon the Book of his Remembrance: and God will witness against them, I saw these wretched sinners when they were born, and traced all their steps; I compassed their path, and their lying d•wn, and was acquainted with all their ways: I did beset them behind and before, and mine eye was continually upon them: I perceived the first sproutings and buddings of sin in their tender years: I took notice of their disobedience to their Parents, when they were young: of their li•s and pride, and vanity, of their idleness and sloth, and mis-spending their precious time: I was an eye-witness to all their sins, from their youth to to their dying hour: I beheld them when no eye besides was upon them: I saw their privy lewdness, and all their deeds of darkness, which they committed in dark corners: when I kept silence and did not speak, I was not blind so as not to see: and although I did not smite, I did note: and what one of them all have the• confidence to deny any one of their sins which I have been a witness unto? The first accuser and witness against the wicked will be God himself.
