2. God looked down from heaven upon the children of men. He did so in ages past, and he has continued. To see if there wasany that did understand, that did seek God. Had there been one
understanding man, one true lover of God, the divine eye would have discovered
him. Those pure heathens and admirable savages that people talk of live nowhere
but in the realm of fiction. The Lord did not look for great grace, only for
sincerity and right desire, but these he found not. He saw all people, and all
hearts in all people, and all motions of all hearts, but he saw neither a clear
head nor a clean heart among them all. Where God’s eyes see no favorable sign
we may rest assured there is none.
