2. This unsensibleness and quietness may arise, partly from the oneliness of sin, and partly from the ignorance of a sinful condition, and partly from the habitual custom of sin: Whether 1the Sun doth shine or not, there are as many atoms and motes flying in the room, there they are really, though not sensibly till the light comes in to manifest them. When a man 2is in a deadly disease, he may be void of all sense of it, his life may be even dropping out, and his disease may rule in his body, though he feels not any aches, or pain; for this unsensibleness depends upon the strength of his disease, which hath not only pierced his natural temper, but his senses also: so may a person be utterly unsensible of sin for want of all saving light, and holy experience which ariseth from a new nature, &c.
