man_n and_o be_v peremptory_a for_o his_o execution_n the_o lord_n deliver_v he_o up_o to_o hardness_n of_o heart_n and_o this_o hardness_n of_o heart_n will_v be_v as_o quaternion_n of_o soldier_n as_o chain_n and_o keeper_n lock_n bar_n bolt_n and_o fetter_n to_o reserve_v a_o man_n sure_a for_o damnation_n a_o man_n have_v have_v the_o mean_n of_o grace_n offer_v he_o he_o have_v slight_v they_o and_o he_o will_v go_v on_o and_o he_o will_v do_v this_o and_o that_o say_v all_o the_o preacher_n what_o they_o will_v and_o can_v to_o the_o contrary_n when_o god_n see_v this_o he_o thus_o resolve_v here_o be_v a_o man_n that_o i_o will_v have_v save_v i_o offer_v he_o the_o outward_a mean_n of_o grace_n but_o he_o have_v stubborn_o &_o rebellious_o stand_v out_o against_o the_o mean_n i_o be_o resolve_v he_o shall_v never_o be_v save_v i_o but_o perhaps_o the_o man_n live_v still_o under_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n and_o so_o long_o there_o be_v a_o possibility_n of_o his_o conversion_n and_o if_o he_o be_v convert_v he_o must_v needs_o be_v save_v therefore_o god_n to_o keep_v he_o from_o salvation_n will_v take_v a_o course_n sure_a enough_o to_o keep_v he_o from_o conversion_n now_o what_o course_n be_v that_o god_n will_v have_v such_o a_o man_n heart_n harden_v and_o if_o once_o the_o heart_n be_v harden_v there_o be_v no_o possibility_n of_o conversion_n &_o if_o no_o conversion_n no_o salvation_n this_o process_n of_o divine_a justice_n &_o vengeance_n we_o have_v be_v 6._o 10._o make_v the_o heart_n of_o this_o people_n fat_a and_o make_v their_o ear_n heavy_a and_o shut_v their_o eye_n lest_o they_o see_v with_o their_o eye_n and_o hear_v with_o their_o ear_n and_o understand_v with_o their_o heart_n and_o convert_v and_o be_v heal_v we_o see_v in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o verse_n that_o god_n full_a and_o final_a resolution_n be_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v heal_v that_o be_v they_o shall_v not_o be_v save_v as_o appear_v mark_n 4._o 12._o but_o how_o will_v god_n keep_v they_o from_o be_v save_v they_o have_v and_o hear_v the_o word_n they_o shall_v not_o be_v convert_v but_o how_o will_v he_o keep_v they_o from_o conversion_n they_o shall_v not_o understand_v with_o their_o heart_n though_o they_o hear_v but_o how_o will_v he_o keep_v they_o from_o understanding_n with_o their_o heart_n go_v make_v the_o heart_n of_o this_o people_n fat_a that_o be_v go_v harden_v their_o heart_n when_o the_o heart_n be_v harden_v they_o can_v understand_v with_o the_o heart_n when_o they_o can_v understand_v with_o the_o heart_n they_o can_v be_v convert_v when_o they_o can_v be_v convert_v when_o they_o can_v be_v save_v and_o so_o the_o harden_v of_o the_o heart_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o lock_v and_o the_o shut_n and_o seal_v of_o a_o man_n up_o to_o keep_v he_o sure_a and_o fast_o for_o hell_n so_o that_o for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v give_v up_o to_o hardness_n of_o heart_n be_v a_o sign_n and_o a_o woeful_a sign_n that_o a_o man_n be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o on_o who_o soul_n god_n be_v resolve_v to_o show_v no_o mercy_n and_o that_o a_o man_n be_v in_o the_o woeful_a state_n of_o reprobation_n therefore_o see_v how_o the_o apostle_n speak_v rom._n 9_o 18._o therefore_o he_o have_v 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 see_v how_o harden_v and_o show_v mercy_n stand_v in_o opposition_n who_o he_o will_v he_o harden_v that_o be_v he_o reprobate_n and_o show_v no_o mercy_n to_o but_o why_o say_v he_o not_o to_o who_o he_o will_v show_v no_o mercy_n he_o show_v none_o but_o in_o steed_n of_o that_o who_o he_o will_v he_o harden_v because_o god_n make_v way_n for_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o counsel_n of_o reprobation_n by_o harden_v man_n heart_n by_o all_o this_o than_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o it_o be_v a_o woeful_a thing_n to_o be_v give_v up_o to_o the_o hardness_n of_o heart_n woe_n to_o that_o man_n that_o have_v his_o heart_n harden_v now_o then_o scandal_n be_v woeful_a event_n unto_o man_n of_o the_o world_n because_o they_o be_v such_o snare_n and_o stumble_a block_n as_o make_v and_o occasion_n they_o to_o fall_v into_o this_o woeful_a condition_n of_o harden_v their_o heart_n therefore_o woe_n to_o the_o world_n because_o of_o scandal_n because_o by_o scandal_n their_o heart_n shall_v be_v harden_v they_o shall_v have_v the_o woeful_a plague_n of_o the_o heart_n they_o shall_v come_v under_o a_o woeful_a curse_n be_v bring_v into_o a_o preparative_n condition_n for_o temporal_a and_o eternal_a ruin_n for_o when_o man_n see_v such_o as_o make_v profession_n of_o godliness_n to_o fall_v into_o scandal_n and_o heinous_a evil_n it_o occasion_n they_o exceed_o to_o harden_v their_o heart_n and_o to_o bless_v themselves_o in_o their_o evil_n &_o ungodly_a way_n as_o if_o their_o way_n be_v better_a than_o the_o way_n of_o godliness_n and_o their_o person_n in_o a_o better_a estate_n and_o condition_n than_o they_o that_o make_v such_o ado_n with_o their_o profession_n we_o may_v conceive_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o in_o the_o scandal_n of_o the_o incestuous_a corinthian_a 1._o cor._n 5._o there_o be_v multitude_n of_o heathen_a corinthian_n that_o have_v not_o yet_o receive_v christ_n nor_o his_o gospel_n the_o christian_a corinthian_n have_v questionless_a be_v deal_v with_o the_o heathen_a corinthian_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o repentance_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o their_o gentilism_n what_o those_o sin_n be_v we_o may_v see_v 1._o cor._n 6._o 10._o neither_o fornicator_n nor_o idolater_n nor_o adulterer_n nor_o effeminate_a etc._n etc._n nor_o thief_n nor_o covetous_a nor_o drunkard_n etc._n etc._n and_o such_o be_v some_o of_o you_o namely_o when_o they_o live_v in_o their_o heathen_a condition_n now_o out_o of_o these_o sin_n will_v not_o the_o heathen_a residue_n be_v bring_v now_o when_o all_o mean_n and_o endeavour_n for_o their_o reclaim_n be_v in_o vain_a god_n in_o his_o justice_n will_v even_o give_v they_o up_o to_o that_o woeful_a condition_n of_o be_v harden_v in_o those_o their_o sin_n to_o this_o end_n in_o his_o providence_n a_o scandalous_a event_n be_v dispose_v to_o come_v to_o pass_v in_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o incestuous_a corinthian_a which_o can_v not_o but_o turn_v to_o the_o great_a harden_v of_o the_o heathen_n heart_n in_o their_o sin_n then_o begin_v they_o to_o say_v and_o think_v in_o their_o heart_n they_o tell_v we_o our_o estate_n and_o our_o way_n be_v dangerous_a and_o damnable_a but_o to_o be_v sure_a our_o way_n be_v as_o good_a as_o they_o we_o be_v better_o yet_o then_o these_o professor_n of_o christ_n we_o be_v honest_a at_o the_o hard_a then_o be_v they_o the_o fornication_n and_o filthiness_n that_o be_v act_v and_o commit_v among_o they_o be_v not_o once_o name_v among_o us._n we_o will_v therefore_o even_o keep_v we_o in_o these_o way_n and_o go_v on_o in_o these_o course_n still_o for_o if_o such_o as_o these_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v if_o your_o holy_a and_o strict_a christian_n may_v do_v such_o vile_a thing_n as_o these_o than_o i_o trow_v it_o be_v not_o such_o a_o heinous_a thing_n for_o we_o that_o make_v no_o such_o profession_n to_o be_v drunkard_n adulterer_n swearer_n etc._n etc._n and_o thus_o by_o occasion_n of_o this_o scandal_n do_v they_o confirm_v hearten_v and_o harden_v themselves_o in_o their_o iniquity_n suppose_v any_o of_o the_o christian_n have_v after_o the_o fall_n out_o of_o this_o scandal_n but_o offer_v to_o have_v reprove_v a_o heathen_a corinthian_a for_o fornication_n drunkenness_n etc._n etc._n what_o answer_n be_v he_o like_a to_o have_v have_v but_o such_o a_o one_o as_o this_o oh_o sir_n it_o be_v no_o marvel_n you_o shall_v find_v fault_n with_o i_o though_o now_o and_o then_o i_o may_v be_v drink_v or_o commit_v fornication_n yet_o i_o be_o not_o such_o a_o beast_n as_o such_o a_o one_o your_o fellow_n christian_n that_o make_v such_o ado_n with_o his_o holiness_n that_o have_v now_o marry_v his_o father_n wife_n i_o will_v you_o shall_v know_v it_o i_o be_o as_o honest_a as_o he_o and_o as_o good_a a_o liver_n as_o he_o for_o his_o heart_n and_o so_o shake_v they_o off_o all_o admonition_n and_o reproof_n &_o harden_v their_o heart_n against_o all_o remedy_n by_o occasion_n of_o that_o scandal_n and_o so_o be_v there_o a_o woe_n to_o many_o a_o heathen_a corinthian_a from_o the_o scandal_n of_o that_o incestuous_a christian_a because_o they_o stumble_v at_o it_o &_o be_v ensnare_v by_o it_o so_o as_o to_o harden_v themselves_o in_o their_o sinful_a course_n &_o so_o by_o that_o hardness_n be_v seal_v up_o to_o assure_a wrath_n there_o be_v nothing_o harden_v man_n in_o their_o
