Job24:15

Verſe 15. The eye alſo of the Adulterer wa[illegible: 1 letter]teth.] Obſerveth, expecteth, and longeth till it cometh. Ʋt videas ill[illegible: 1 letter]m non precare infirmitate ſed malitiâ, ſaith Vatablus; This ſheweth, that he ſinneth not of infirmity, but of forethought, malice and wickedneſſe; which he plotteth and ploweth (as the Scripture phraſeth it) purveying for the fleſh,Quotidie perire me ſentio. Suer. Rom 13. ult. putrifying alive, under a [illegible: 1 letter]abe, of impure luſts, and daily periſhing therein, as Tiberius at Caprea, by his own confeſſion. This beaſt was not aſhamed of his deteſtable filthineſſe; as being a moſt impure and impudent defiler of other mens beds. But the Adulterer here ſpoken of, ſeeks the covert of the twilight, and another of a diſguiſe. He putteth hu face in a ſecret place (ſo the Hebrew hath it) wrapping it in his cloak, or getting on a Vizzard, which (ſaith he) ſhall render me unknown, and none eye ſhall ſee me. For as for Gods eye, either he conceits him blind, or preſumes him indulgent, not doubting or an eaſie and ſpeedy pardon. This is charged upon David, 2 Sam. 12.10. Becauſe thou haſt deſpiſed me. &c. viz. in thinking to ſin ſecretly, not conſidering mine All-ſeeing eye, not caring though I looked on, &c. therefore ſhall all come to light, verſe 12. Sin ſecretly committed, ſhall bee ſtrangely diſcovered: yea, perhaps the ſinner himſelfe ſhall confeſſe his ſinnes, as Judas: So ſooner on later, God wil bring every work into judgement, with every ſecret thing, Eccleſiaſ[illegible: 1 letter]es 12.14. See alſo Eccleſiaſticus 23.
