Whereas Unbelief doth sensualize a man, beasts a man, as Nebuchadnezzar, Dan. 5.20.21. Hence we read, An Unbelieving heart is called a gross heart, — make their heart gross: so Faith doth raise up a man, spiritualizes a man. A Believing heart is a fine heart, a spiritual heart, It refines the soul.
