Sin goes to Unbelief for security; and unbelief secures and warrants sin: sin dwelleth where unbelief keeps the house; sin sits down securely under the shadow of unbelief. Let curse and Hell be threatened against sin, yet unbelief will secure it. It makes but child's-play of all the threats of God. Sin keeps the house, and unbelief bars the door, and keeps out all that would endanger sin: It will secure it.

Sin goes to unbelief, not only for defence, but for maintenance: and unbelief will maintain sin: it will fetch in provision for lust. It is not only the Entertainer, but the Maintainer of sin. It shall want no morsels: unbelief will furnish it.
