John Trapp on Proverbs 5:21

Verſ. 21. For the waies of man, &c.] Turpe quid acturus te ſine teſte time. Auſ[illegible: 2 letters]. A man that is about any evil, ſhould ſtand in awe of himſelf, how much more of God? ſith hee is [non-Latin text not transcribed], All eye, and beholdeth the ſecreteſt of thine actions: The Proverb is, Si non caſte, ſaltem caute, carry the matter, if not honeſtly, yet ſo cloſely and cleanly, that the world may bee never the wiſer. How cunningly did David art it to hide his ſin? but it would not bee: there is nothing covered that ſhall not bee revealed, Luk. 12.2. If I make my bed in Hell (ſaid hee, Pſal. 139.8. as indeed the places where fornicatours uſe to lodge are little better) Behold thou art there: This God alledgeth as a forcible reaſon againſt this ſin, Jer. 13.27. I have ſeen the lewdneſs of thy whoredomes. And Jer. 29.23. Even I know, and am a witneſs, ſaith the Lord.
