be_v pass_v already_o seven_o of_o the_o plague_n of_o egypt_n and_o the_o eight_o about_o to_o be_v pour_v forth_o so_o no_o question_n god_n in_o his_o justice_n soon_o may_v have_v cut_v pharaoh_n

of_o the_o objection_n therefore_o have_v he_o mercy_n on_o who_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o who_o he_o will_v he_o harden_v as_o to_o this_o and_o such_o passage_n though_o our_o opposer_n

teach_v we_o that_o every_o one_o who_o be_v a_o vessel_n of_o wrath_n become_v such_o by_o slight_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n gracious_o tender_v he_o in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o visitation_n for_o there_o be_v such_o a_o day_n to_o every_o one_o in_o which_o they_o may_v be_v save_v and_o wherein_o god_n work_v upon_o they_o in_o order_n to_o this_o end_n this_o be_v a_o day_n of_o day_n a_o

they_o who_o despise_v the_o riches_n of_o his_o goodness_n and_o forbearance_n and_o long-suffering_a as_o do_v pharaoh_n not_o know_v that_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n lead_v to_o repentance_n these_o through_o their_o hardness_n and_o impenitent_a heart_n treasure_n up_o wrath_n against_o the_o day_n of_o wrath._n and_o the_o other_o do_v not_o harden_v their_o heart_n but_o obey_v the_o truth_n now_o these_o different_a state_n have_v different_a reward_n and_o thus_o be_v mankind_n distinguish_v into_o vessel_n of_o wrath_n and_o vessel_n of_o mercy_n thus_o be_v it_o that_o some_o find_v mercy_n and_o some_o be_v harden_a and_o as_o to_o such_o expression_n as_o who_o he_o will_v he_o harden_v and_o god_n harden_v pharaoh_n be_v heart_n etc._n etc._n they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v as_o if_o harden_v man_n be_v simple_o of_o god_n until_o they_o have_v reject_v the_o tender_v of_o his_o love_n or_o without_o long_a and_o great_a provocation_n on_o their_o part_n nor_o be_v we_o to_o suppose_v they_o may_v not_o have_v avoid_v the_o cause_n of_o such_o provocation_n from_o any_o fore-designed_n harden_v on_o god_n part_n for_o during_o the_o time_n of_o any_o one_o visitation_n god_n free_o offer_v they_o mercy_n and_o what_o he_o do_v afterward_o have_v no_o influence_n upon_o this_o argument_n but_o even_o that_o seem_v rather_o a_o leave_v they_o to_o

pharaoh_n heart_n it_o be_v say_v exod._n 4.21_o and_o 7.13_o and_o 10.27_o that_o god_n harden_v it_o and_o in_o the_o same_o book_n exod._n 8.32_o and_o 9.35_o it_o be_v say_v that_o pharaoh_n

sensum_fw-la tollit_fw-la the_o custom_n of_o sin_v take_v away_o the_o sense_n of_o sin_n so_o pharaoh_n persist_v in_o a_o course_n of_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n unto_o great_a obdurateness_n thus_o it_o be_v say_v he_o harden_v his_o heart_n and_o god_n cease_v to_o strive_v with_o he_o by_o his_o spirit_n and_o relinquish_a he_o to_o that_o obdurateness_n thus_o it_o be_v say_v god_n harden_v
