Psalms90:8

Verſ. 8. Thou haſt ſet our iniquities before thee] As a Judge doth the miſdeeds of a Malefactor, together with the proofs and evidences.

Our ſecret ſins] Which we either never took notice of or had utterly forgotten (the ſins of our youth, ſome render it, but not ſo well) thoſe ſins which we had hoped to have ſecreted, ſuch was our hypocriſie.

In the light of thy countenance] This light thou haſt made uſe of for the diſcovery of our inmoſt evils, thoſe that lye moſt up in the heart of the Country, as it were, as the murmurings, and misbeleef of our hearts, &c. theſe thy pure eyes, more clear and radiant than the Sun it ſelf, have plainly diſcerned. Nature teacheth us, that the fiery eye needeth no outward light, but ſeeth extramittendo, by ſending out a ray, &c.
