The witholding of the word or spirit of God from
a people is a more terrible Judgment than to have
the Pestilence Raging amongst or some other very
dreadfull distemper Raging amongst a people.
Jonathan Edwards, Sermon no. 95 on Amos 8:11 (September 1756), WJE Online Vol. 43, Sermons, Series II, 1728-1729. I've taken that out of context, of course.
