Psalms 139: 7
 Whither Shall I go from
 thy Spirit &c
Infidility and Athieſim
Seem to be a Sin, we are
born with by Nature,
David Says the fool Saith
in his Heart there is no
god, and when they own
the being of god, they think
he is altogether Such a one
as themſelves &c
David in his holy Psalms
gives us a relation of his
obſervations of men and
his knowledge of god, by
his Experience —

Sometimes he repreſents one
of gods attributes Some a‐
nothere — as in the Psalm
where in our text is &c —
From the words I Shall
take Notice
1 That there is no Shuch

 him — —
1 that there is no &c — —
this the holy Psalmeſt by

knowledge and a lively
Since he had of god when he Pen'd

this Psalm, as the Psalm
Shows the Psalmeſt was Sur‐
priz'd, to find himſelf Surroun'd
with the omnipreſence of god

2 there is no hiding from
him. &c

from him, knows all
things &c — — —

 Improvement — —
Is it So as we have heard
that God is a Spirit and
he is every where and knows
and Sees all things, that
there is no Such thing as
runing a way and hiding
from, I Say if theſe things
be true; Then, what manner
of Perſons ought we to be, in
all holy Converſation and god
lineſs — how Careful ought
we to be in our Conduct in
the world, how watchful
over our thoughts words and
Actions, how Careful
ought we to be in obeying

god in his word &c — — —
But alas how many
there are in the world
that hear of the Name
of this glorious and dread
ful god, and Yet regard him
not
and is there not a great number
in this great Congregation
that are thus regardleſs
of god and godlineſs; if not,
what means all this diſtrac‐
tion, and abomination, that
is manifeſted in & — —
know ye not that god hath
Seen and knows you all
and is acquanted with all

Your works, [illegible][guess: if] tho you
may have forgot many
of your own works, but
god remembers them — —
And do you know that
god Sees you now, and
all your thoughts &c — —
and where do you intend
to run from his Preſence
or where do you intend to
hide &c — —
but in the laſt Place
not to Leave you here —
I will give you a directi
on — where to run, run to
god himſelf with a true

Repentence, and faith
toward our Lord Jesus X —
in Jx you hide your
Selves from the wrath
of god, then you may
hide your ſins, and they
will be ſeen and remembd
by dgod no more — —
