Where persons cherish secret predominant lusts in their hearts and lives, God is not in their thoughts as he ought to be. He may be,-He is not, He cannot be, in a due manner. And such persons no doubt there are. Ever and anon we hear of one and another whose secret lusts break forth into a discovery. They flatter themselves for a season, but God ofttimes so orders things in His holy providence that their iniquity shall be found out to be hateful.
