6. Weariness of Gods Ordinances; Amos 8. 5. When will the New Moon be gone, and the Sabbath? Vers. 11. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will send a famine in the Land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the Word of the Lord. God hath fed this Nation with the finest of the wheat, even the bread of life, we have had the Cream of Ordinances, God hath come down to us in a golden shower of blessings, the Vintage of other Nations, hath not been so good as the gleanings of England, but have not we said, What a weariness is it? Mal. 1. 13. Is not our sin Sermon-surfeiting? though we have liked the dressing, we have loathed the food; we have said, Who is this Moses? and what is this Manna? and may not we fear God is now coming to punish us for ⟨p. 27⟩this sin? When we have lost our stomachs, God may cause the cloth to be taken away; and would not that be dismal? How sad is it for any Nation, when their Seers are blind! In what a condition is that people, who have husks given them instead of Manna, and Music instead of food! Weariness of the Gospel, forfeits the Gospel. If God sees that Sanctuary-blessings bear but a low price, he will remove the Market.
