Of all other senses there is a stronger application in taste; the other senses fetch their objects afar off, but as for taste there is a near application in it, and therefore most necessary: every life is maintained by taste. Taste and see how good the Lord is.

Now taste doth two things,1 it doth relish that that is good, and disrelish the contrary; there must be a spiritual taste to discern of differences. There can be no spiritual taste, but it must know what is good and profitable for the soul, and what is not: because God will not have our tastes to be wronged, ye see what course he takes. First the eye seeth what things we taste on, and if the eye be displeased, so also is the smell. ⟨p. 23⟩Thus God layeth before us spiritual things, knowledge of good and bad, and giveth us many caveats, and all because he would not have us to taste things hurtful for the soul, nor poison instead of meat. Now when we have tasted that which is good, let us take heed it be not a taste only, lest we fall into the sin against the holy Ghost.
