SECT. 2.
Containing a Reprehension of such as do not hunger after Righteousness.
Use 2 IT reproves such as have none of this spiritual hunger; they have no winged desires, Reproof. the edge of their affections Branch 1 is blunted; honey is not sweet to them that are sick of a Fever, and have their tongues embittered with ⟨p. 157⟩Choler: So those who are soul-sick, and in the gall of bitterness, find no sweetness in God or Religion; [Greek or Hebrew], sin tastes sweeter to them, they have no spiritual hunger.
