2. Where have been the fruits of Faith in London? how hath unbelief abounded, the great ⟨p. 127⟩Gospel sin, more dangerous than any other, and more heinous in London than in any other place? O the thick veil of unbelief which hath hid Gospel mysteries, and things afar off from the eyes of this people! O the evil heart of unbelief which hath shut the door against the Lord Jesus Christ, who hath knocked so long for entertainment! O the sottishness of London, to believe no more, when truths have been made so plain and clear; when promises have been made known so great and sure; when Christ hath been preached and tendered; and when Heaven hath been revealed and proffered; and when all have such need, for the most to shut the eye, and ear, and heart, and through unbelief to refuse! to give God the lye, and turn upon him the back; to give Christ a wound, and tread his blood underfoot; to give the spirit a repulse, and send him away grieved from the heart, as men do by their unbelief; this sin doth provoke the Lord to great displeasure.
