Thirdly, I shall proceed to show you what a kind of taste an unsound Christian may have of the Word of God. It is evident, that the Apostle here carefully keeps himself to such Expressions as we have in the Text, to show he intends not such Persons, who by Faith truly receive and spiritually feed on Jesus Christ; therefore it is said, have tasted. True, by tasting sometimes is meant a spiritual feeding; O taste and see that the Lord is good: Compared with ¹that in Peter, If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

Brethren, every one that feeds, may be said to taste, though he doth more than taste; but every one that tasteth, may not be said to feed; no, nor be said to love, approve of, nor digest that which he tasteth of. Pray remember, to feed is more than to taste; I did but taste a little Honey, saith Jonathan: And it is said of our Saviour, When he had tasted thereof, he would not drink; he ¹tasted, but did not drink: So Men may taste, and yet may not eat, not feed upon that they tasted of.
