How little thankfulness do they show to Christ, who have no zeal for his Honour and Interest! They are like Ephraim, Hos. 7. 8. Ephraim is a Cake not turned. Baked on one side, and Dough on the other. Christ doth ⟨p. 102⟩most abominate a luke warm temper: Revel. 3. 15. He is even sick of such Professors. They who write of the situation of England, say, that it is seated between the torrid and frigid Zone, the Climate is neither very hot nor cold. I wish, this were not the temper of the people, and that our hearts were not too like the Climate we live in. The Lord cause the fire of holy zeal to be always burning upon the Altar of our hearts.
