It is a sign they have none of this spiritual hunger,§3 who desire rather sleep than food; they are more drowsy than hungry; some there are who come to the Word, that they may get a nap, to whom I may say as Christ did to Peter, Mark 14.37. Couldst thou not watch one hour? 'tis strange to see a man asleep at his meat; others there are who have a deep sleep fallen upon them, they are asleep ⟨p. 158⟩in security, and they hate a soul-awakening Ministry; while they sleep, their damnation slumbereth not, 1 Pet. 2.3.
