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 thin^k^ 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 thing as runing
a way from the God — — 2 There is no hiding from
him — — 1 that there is no &c — — this the holy Psalmeſt
by knew by his experimantal 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 himſe^l^f
Surroun'^d^ with the omnipreſence of god and his omniſence — —
2 there is no hiding from him. &c 1 we Can't hide our Selves from god who is a Spirit let us try to hide our Selves where we will, he will fond us out, &c — — — 2 We Can't hide our works 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 know^s^ 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 — —
