that_o when_o god_n be_v say_v to_o harden_v it_o be_v not_o so_o to_o be_v understand_v as_o if_o he_o do_v harden_v they_o which_o before_o be_v soft_a and_o flexible_a but_o thus_o that_o it_o which_o by_o his_o own_o nature_n be_v hard_a he_o suffer_v it_o still_o to_o be_v hard_o and_o through_o his_o just_a judgement_n but_o per_fw-la accidens_fw-la more_o and_o more_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o satan_n to_o be_v harden_v and_o how_o per_fw-la accidens_fw-la sure_o because_o god_n herein_o work_v no_o evil_a but_o the_o devil_n abuse_v god_n benefit_n bestow_v upon_o a_o man_n to_o his_o obduration_n and_o harden_v of_o his_o heart_n and_o cause_v a_o wicked_a man_n of_o his_o own_o accord_n to_o abuse_v the_o same_o to_o his_o own_o destruction_n as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o

be_v call_v a_o voluntary_a obduration_n or_o harden_v when_o man_n harden_v his_o own_o heart_n which_o be_v when_o a_o man_n confirm_v and_o harden_v himself_o in_o evil_a purpose_n neither_o will_v
