A49291	Personal reprobation reprobated being a plain exposition upon the nineth chapter to the Romans, shewing, that there is neither little nor much of any such doctrine as personal election or reprobations, asserted by the apostle in that chapter : but that his great designe is to maintain justification by faith in Jesus Christ, without the works of the law / humbly offered to serious consideration, by Samuel Loveday.

will_v harden_v pharaoh_n suppose_v a_o condition_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o if_o pharaoh_n do_v not_o by_o all_o his_o message_n and_o application_n to_o he_o at_o last_o let_v his_o people_n go_v but_o harden_v his_o own_o heart_n under_o all_o his_o judgement_n sign_n and_o wonder_n that_o then_o at_o last_o god_n as_o a_o judgement_n will_v harden_v pharaoh_n heart_n so_o as_o he_o shall_v pursue_v they_o to_o his_o own_o destruction_n so_o that_o though_o it_o be_v say_v by_o god_n i_o will_v harden_v pharaoh_n heart_n yet_o god_n do_v not_o do_v it_o primary_o nor_o necessary_o neither_o do_v the_o mean_n that_o god_n make_v use_v of_o necessary_o tend_v to_o harden_v but_o rather_o to_o soften_v but_o than_o it_o may_v be_v reply_v see_v those_o mean_v use_v by_o god_n to_o pharaoh_n have_v a_o more_o proper_a tendency_n to_o soften_v then_o harden_v why_o then_o do_v not_o god_n as_o well_o say_v to_o moses_n i_o will_v soften_v pharaoh_n heart_n as_o well_o as_o say_v i_o will_v harden_v it_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o notwithstanding_o the_o proper_a tendency_n of_o those_o mean_n yet_o god_n who_o see_v the_o end_n and_o effect_n of_o all_o mean_n and_o can_v be_v mistake_v do_v foresee_v that_o these_o mean_n will_v have_v upon_o he_o a_o contrary_a tendency_n by_o reason_n of_o pharaoh_n base_a proud_a heart_n therefore_o i_o will_v harden_v a_o wise_a man_n may_v foresee_v that_o the_o bright_a shine_a warm_a sun_n will_v make_v the_o dunghill_n stink_n though_o the_o same_o sun_n will_v make_v the_o flower_n smell_v swee●_n 2._o god_n may_v thus_o say_v i_o will_v harden_v as_o he_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o end_n of_o pharaoh_n state_n for_o it_o be_v so_o at_o last_o from_o god_n but_o 3_o it_o be_v reply_v can_v not_o god_n have_v take_v such_o a_o course_n with_o pharaoh_n as_o to_o soften_v he_o effectual_o and_o make_v he_o let_v israel_n go_v and_o so_o prevent_v his_o own_o ruin_n i_o say_v something_o to_o the_o answer_n of_o this_o before_o to_o which_o i_o refer_v the_o reader_n if_o we_o consider_v god_n power_n regulate_v by_o the_o attribute_n of_o his_o wisdom_n and_o righteousness_n and_o justice_n he_o do_v what_o he_o can_v to_o reduce_v pharaoh_n as_o he_o be_v say_v in_o effect_n to_o do_v for_o his_o vineyard_n esa_n 5.4_o god_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o proceed_v by_o his_o absolute_a irresistible_a power_n in_o convert_v nor_o restrain_v sinner_n this_o corrupt_a notion_n and_o expectation_n from_o god_n have_v be_v the_o ground_n upon_o which_o many_o have_v miscarry_v but_o thus_o it_o be_v god_n have_v make_v man_n a_o rational_a creature_n capable_a to_o choose_v the_o good_a and_o refuse_v the_o evil_a god_n lay_v before_o pharaoh_n life_n and_o death_n life_n if_o he_o will_v let_v israel_n quiet_o go_v death_n if_o he_o still_o hold_v they_o there_o pharaoh_n have_v his_o choice_n of_o these_o two_o as_o all_o man_n have_v where_o the_o gospel_n come_v this_o be_v god_n way_n deut._n 30.15_o vers_fw-la 19_o and_o god_n take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o they_o have_v power_n to_o choose_v therefore_o say_v he_o choose_v you_o this_o be_v his_o proceed_n with_o pharaoh_n so_o that_o in_o order_n i_o shall_v draw_v up_o the_o result_n of_o this_o head_n 1._o that_o god_n harden_v pharaoh_n heart_n that_o be_v accidental_o stire_v up_o and_o awaken_v the_o baseness_n of_o his_o heart_n by_o send_v that_o message_n to_o he_o to_o let_v israel_n depart_v his_o land_n which_o be_v so_o much_o against_o his_o proud_a and_o covetous_a interest_n if_o god_n have_v be_v please_v that_o israel_n shall_v still_o have_v abode_n slave_n to_o he_o we_o have_v not_o hear_v nor_o see_v the_o relation_n of_o pharaoh_n rebellion_n as_o now_o we_o do_v thus_o god_n be_v concern_v in_o harden_v pharaoh_n heart_n as_o he_o cross_v his_o will_n by_o declare_v his_o own_o 2._o god_n accidental_o harden_v pharaoh_n heart_n by_o declare_v himself_o above_o he_o in_o power_n that_o must_v needs_o provoke_v proud_a pharaoh_n to_o hear_v of_o a_o jehovah_n above_o he_o 3._o god_n harden_v pharaoh_n heart_n accidental_o by_o defer_v the_o full_a manifestation_n of_o avenge_a power_n so_o long_o as_o he_o do_v this_o make_v pharaoh_n grow_v strong_a and_o think_v he_o shall_v yet_o be_v able_a to_o deal_v with_o he_o as_o solomon_n say_v eccles_n 8.11_o because_o judgement_n be_v not_o speedy_o execute_v upon_o evil_a doer_n their_o heart_n be_v full_o set_v in_o they_o to_o do_v evil_a thus_o a_o parent_n sometime_o can_v say_v i_o have_v spoil_v you_o by_o my_o indulgence_n show_v to_o you_o 4._o god_n harden_v pharaoh_n accidental_o by_o his_o condescend_v to_o remove_v his_o judgement_n so_o soon_o and_o at_o his_o request_n and_o that_o this_o act_n of_o god_n harden_v his_o heart_n you_o have_v declare_v in_o the_o history_n when_o god_n have_v take_v off_o this_o or_o that_o plague_n it_o be_v as_o the_o effect_n say_v pharaoh_n harden_v his_o heart_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o three_o thing_n to_o be_v inquire_v into_o upon_o which_o i_o have_v be_v more_o long_o than_o ordinary_a i_o now_o proceed_v to_o the_o four_o circumstance_n which_o be_v more_o particular_o 4._o the_o time_n of_o god_n harden_v pharaoh_n positive_o for_o we_o must_v needs_o grant_v a_o twofold_n harden_v of_o pharaoh_n heart_n 1._o the_o first_o of_o which_o be_v charge_v upon_o himself_o pharaoh_n harden_v his_o heart_n or_o make_v his_o heart_n strong_a or_o as_o some_o translation_n read_v pharaoh_n heart_n harden_v itself_o now_o this_o first_o harden_v be_v from_o god_n accidental_o as_o have_v be_v show_v as_o he_o be_v say_v to_o do_v many_o thing_n providential_o but_o 2_o we_o have_v a_o more_o special_a and_o more_o positive_a harden_v which_o be_v appropriate_v to_o god_n he_o be_v say_v to_o harden_v pharaoh_n heart_n not_o as_o before_o accidental_o but_o intentional_o and_o judicial_o and_o that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o harden_v impute_v to_o god_n we_o may_v see_v in_o other_o case_n and_o person_n that_o god_n do_v shut_v up_o in_o and_o under_o blindness_n and_o hardness_n of_o heart_n to_o their_o own_o destruction_n as_o the_o fruit_n of_o sin_n and_o rebellion_n against_o god_n thus_o god_n be_v say_v to_o harden_v sihon_n king_n of_o heshbons_n heart_n make_v his_o heart_n obstinate_a to_o his_o own_o destruction_n so_o also_o it_o be_v say_v of_o those_o city_n that_o make_v war_n against_o israel_n joshu_n 11,20_o god_n harden_v their_o heart_n to_o their_o own_o destruction_n and_o ruin_n and_o many_o more_o who_o be_v immediate_o harden_v by_o god_n now_o the_o question_n be_v when_o god_n do_v thus_o in_o special_a harden_v pharaoh_n heart_n whether_o by_o purpose_n from_o eternity_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o treaty_n of_o god_n with_o he_o or_o after_o he_o have_v obstinate_o stout_z it_o out_o against_o god_n a_o long_a time_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o scripture_n do_v no_o where_n give_v we_o one_o word_n of_o god_n eternal_a purpose_n or_o previous_a decree_n by_o virtue_n whereof_o pharaoh_n be_v necessitate_v to_o this_o obduratenesse_n against_o god_n our_o enemy_n will_v not_o say_v that_o i_o mean_v those_o of_o they_o who_o have_v write_v about_o this_o controversy_n neither_o do_v god_n by_o any_o of_o his_o deal_n with_o pharaoh_n proper_o provoke_v he_o to_o be_v harden_v but_o rather_o have_v they_o as_o i_o have_v show_v you_o a_o tendency_n to_o soften_v he_o but_o the_o proper_a time_n of_o this_o judicial_a harden_v pharaoh_n by_o god_n more_o immediate_o be_v after_o he_o have_v try_v he_o under_o six_o several_a plague_n and_o their_o removal_n under_o all_o these_o six_o judgement_n the_o relation_n run_v thus_o pharaoh_n make_v his_o heart_n strong_a or_o pharaoh_n heart_n harden_v itself_o but_o after_o the_o six_o plague_n the_o stile_n be_v change_v and_o chap._n 9.12_o god_n be_v say_v to_o harden_v pharaoh_n heart_n it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n do_v betimes_o even_o before_o moses_n go_v to_o pharaoh_n predict_v this_o judgement_n which_o afterward_o be_v execute_v he_o do_v tell_v moses_n chap._n 4.21_o that_o he_o will_v harden_v pharaoh_n heart_n that_o be_v conditional_o if_o he_o first_o harden_v his_o own_o and_o will_v not_o let_v his_o people_n go_v but_o this_o foretell_v of_o it_o or_o threaten_v of_o it_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v immediate_o do_v it_o be_v usual_a for_o god_n to_o foretell_v thing_n before_o they_o come_v to_o pass_v god_n as_o well_o at_o first_o foretell_v exo._n 3_o of_o israel_n borrow_a jewel_n of_o the_o egyptian_n which_o be_v the_o last_o thing_n in_o order_n to_o be_v do_v and_o at_o first_o he_o bid_v moses_n tell_v pharaoh_n he_o will_v slay_v his_o first-born_a chap._n
