It is indeed a sin-starving-Grace. Faith will not feed and fuel lust. It will neither entertain nor maintain corruptions. Faith will abridge sin of that nourishment, those dainty bits which it met withal in an unbelieving heart. It will not lay in provision for lust.

Unbelief is the Caterer and the Provider for sin. Sin hath its full desire in an unbelieving heart; whatever it lusts after, it shall have: nothing shall be wanting to feed lust.
Unbeleef is the Caterer and the Provider for sin. Sin hath its full desire in an unbeleeving heart; whatever it lusts after, it shall have: nothing shall bee wanting to feed lust.
If a man be addicted to the lust of uncleanness: there is nothing the lust doth desire, but an unbelieving heart will make a supply of. It shall have Books, Ballads, Plays for the purpose. It shall have obscene objects, and pictures to gaze upon. There shall be nothing wanting for the fomenting and cherishing of the corruption: nothing shall be denied, that may oil and increase the flame of lust. All a man hath, all his power, all his riches, his estate shall be laid out for the fuelling of his corruption; and so I might show in other lusts.
