As it is impossible in the nature of the thing, for a man to delight in sin, and in God too; so God hath said that he who hath a delight in sin, shall not find any delight in him. God hath said, Delight thy self in me, and I will give thee the desires of thy heart, (Psal. 37.4.) But if any man will follow the desires of his own heart, he shall not delight himself in God. Sin separateth between God and us (Isa. 59.2.) that is, it separates between the comforts and mercies which are in God, and us; sin doth not, cannot separate us from the power, or presence, from the eye, or justice of God, so sin doth not separate (for God is nigh to sinners both to see what they are doing, and to punish them for what they ••ve done sinfully) but sin separates from all those delights that flow from God, from those joys which his people take in him; yea sin breeds a strangeness between God and the soul, so that the soul that loveth sin, cannot have any holy familiarity or converse with God. The Lord saith to those who repent ⟨p. 257⟩(Isa. 1.18.) Come let us reason together, &c. As if he had said, I am now ready to debate the matter with you that repent, and how great soever your sins have been, they shall be blotted out. Whereas before the Lord tells them that he was weary of them, and that they were a burden to him in all their services; Now when we are a burden to God, God is never pleasant to us; if the Lord say he is weary of us, we cannot say we delight our selves in him. Our delight and pleasure in God is the fruit of his delight in and well-pleasednes with us.

As it is impossible in the nature of the thing, for a man to delight in sin, and in God too; so God hath sayd that he who hath a delight in sin, shall not finde any delight in him. God hath sayd, Delight thy selfe in me, and I will give thee the desires of thy heart, (Psal. 37.4.) But if any man will follow the desires of his owne heart, he shall not delight himselfe in God. Sinne separateth between God and us (
