:
but
now,
your
fins
that were Committed
forty
or
fifty
years
ago,,
know they are to
God
as
if
they were
committed
but
this
morning
;
for
Gods eternity
confifts not
in
palling
and
com-
ing
;
but
in
this that
there
is
no fucceflìon
with
God no
time
pal},
nor
time
to
come
with God
;
all
time
to
God
is
as
a
perpetual
now
:
and
therefore
all
thy
fins
that thou haft
committed
in
time paff,
is
in
the eye
of
God
as
if
they
were
.
committed
this very
hour;
there's
a
great
deal
of
need
to
underftand this
rightly,
for the humbling
of
men and
women,
by
caufing
them to look
back
upon
their
fins, and to
lay them
to
heart
;
for they
are thus prefented
before
God
,
as
if
they
were committed

very moment,

God
watches over
your
fins, and will
come upon
you
for
them
;
they are
fealed
up
in a
bag
:
fometimes when
I
have feen the
Clerk
of
the
Aflizes
draw
out his
Indi&ments,
fuch
a
one
for
murder,
and
fuch
a
one
for
Felony
;
it
put
me
in mind
of
this
Text
;
thofe
In-
dictments
againft
men
were
put
up
in
the
Clerk
of
the
Aftizes
bag, it
may
be
a
good
while
before
,
and
now
at
the Aflïzes
they
are drawn
out
and
read
openly
in
the
face
of
the
Court
;
fo are
thy
fins
all
put in
a
bag,
and
God
in
the day
of
vifi-
tation he
pulls them
out,
and
reads them openly
before Men
and Angels.
We
have
an
example
in
Scripture, how God
did
come on
men
for
fins
committed
a
long while before
,
as
the
example
of
Yofeph's
Brethren, who
fold
him, and
after this
they
went
on
and
never
heard
of
it
till
a
long
time
after
;
it
appears not that
their
Confciences were
troubled
till
two
and twenty
years
after
they
had committed that
fin
;
till
they
came into
Egypt
and
were
in
afflicSion,
and
then
their
Con
-
fciences
began to
fly in
their
faces
;
for
the
fin
they committed
againft their Brother
:
Jofeph was feventeen
years
old
when
he
was
fold,
and
when
he
flood
before
Pharaoh
he was
thirty
,
there's
thirteen years
and then
feven
years
of
plenty
,
and
two years
of
famine before
they
came
into
Egypt
;
there's two
and
twenty
years,
before
their
Confciences did fly
in
their
faces
for
their
fin
againft
their Brother
:
Take heed what you
