Jesus Christ hath not only provided a feast, ⟨image 4⟩because he is desirous that all those for whom it is provided should come to it, (which only they do that believe) he takes away the veil of ignorance and unbelief from off their hearts: and here you shall find this skilful Preacher hath excellently discoursed, what this veil is, how it naturally lies upon all, and is only removed by the Spirit of Christ. And if the Lord hath destroyed this covering from off thy heart, we doubt not, but the truth of this heavenly Doctrine will shine comfortably into thy soul.
