that_o that_o will_v not_o receive_v any_o impression_n that_o be_v hard_a this_o in_o a_o natural_a sense_n but_o in_o a_o moral_a and_o spiritual_a sense_n to_o harden_v the_o heart_n be_v nothing_o

for_o it_o his_o heart_n be_v harden_v and_o so_o luther_n when_o his_o friend_n will_v have_v persuade_v he_o not_o to_o have_v go_v to_o worm_n to_o the_o disputation_n there_o if_o all_o the_o

heart_n or_o to_o have_v hardness_n of_o heart_n be_v ordinary_o mean_v in_o a_o evil_a sense_n harden_v in_o sin_n harden_v against_o god_n and_o so_o my_o text_n have_v it_o plain_o they_o make_v their_o heart_n as_o a_o adamant_n stone_n that_o they_o may_v not_o hear_v the_o word_n that_o god_n have_v send_v to_o they_o their_o heart_n be_v resolute_o and_o unchangeable_o bend_v to_o go_v on_o in_o their_o way_n say_v or_o do_v what_o god_n will_v or_o can_v to_o the_o contrary_a that_o be_v the_o sin_n that_o be_v here_o mention_v now_o from_o hence_o i_o shall_v take_v up_o this_o

together_o that_o the_o sin_n of_o harden_v the_o heart_n against_o god_n be_v a_o certain_a doct._n forerunner_n of_o utter_a destruction_n they_o make_v their_o heart_n as_o hard_o as_o a_o

distinction_n about_o this_o sin_n of_o hardness_n of_o heart_n whereby_o you_o will_v more_o plain_o understand_v the_o doctrine_n that_o i_o be_o to_o make_v good_a out_o of_o the_o scripture_n first_o that_o there_o be_v a_o natural_a hardness_n of_o heart_n which_o be_v the_o 1._o case_n of_o all_o man_n in_o the_o world_n second_o there_o be_v a_o acquire_a hardness_n hardness_n of_o heart_n or_o a_o hardness_n that_o man_n bring_v upon_o himself_o there_o be_v a_o natural_a hardness_n of_o heart_n the_o scripture_n be_v plain_a in_o it_o that_o all_o man_n in_o the_o world_n the_o original_a frame_n of_o their_o heart_n be_v in_o the_o scripture_n set_v down_o by_o the_o expression_n of_o a_o heart_n of_o stone_n in_o ezek._n 11._o 19_o when_o god_n promise_v conversion_n say_v he_o i_o will_v take_v away_o the_o heart_n of_o stone_n that_o be_v in_o they_o and_o give_v they_o a_o heart_n of_o flesh_n every_o man_n and_o woman_n in_o the_o world_n bring_v the_o stone_n of_o the_o heart_n into_o the_o world_n with_o they_o but_o than_o second_o there_o be_v a_o acquire_a hardness_n of_o heart_n or_o a_o hardness_n that_o man_n bring_v upon_o themselves_o so_o my_o text_n say_v they_o make_v their_o heart_n hard_a and_o so_o it_o be_v say_v of_o zedekiah_n in_o the_o 36._o of_o the_o 2_o chron._n he_o harden_v his_o heart_n against_o god_n that_o be_v one_o second_o know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o gradual_a or_o partial_a hardness_n of_o 2._o heart_n when_o the_o heart_n be_v harden_v but_o in_o some_o measure_n hardness_n there_o be_v some_o hardness_n in_o they_o and_o some_o softness_n in_o they_o and_o there_o be_v a_o total_a harden_n of_o the_o heart_n when_o the_o whole_a fram●_z of_o the_o heart_n be_v give_v up_o to_o hardness_n that_o there_o be_v a_o gradual_a and_o partial_a hardness_n of_o heart_n you_o may_v see_v it_o in_o christ_n own_o disciple_n who_o be_v new_a creature_n have_v a_o heart_n of_o flesh_n in_o they_o and_o yet_o it_o be_v say_v of_o they_o in_o mark_n 6._o 52._o they_o consider_v not_o the_o miracle_n 17._o of_o the_o loaf_n because_o their_o heart_n be_v harden_v and_o in_o mark_n 8._o christ_n say_v to_o they_o have_v you_o your_o heart_n yet_o harden_v christ_n own_o disciple_n have_v some_o degree_n of_o hardness_n of_o heart_n but_o then_o there_o be_v a_o hardness_n that_o be_v a_o total_n hardness_n of_o 28._o which_o the_o scripture_n say_v they_o be_v all_o brass_n and_o iron_n three_o there_o be_v a_o hardness_n of_o heart_n that_o be_v feel_v feel_v by_o they_o 3._o that_o be_v under_o it_o and_o there_o be_v a_o hardness_n of_o heart_n that_o be_v unfelt_a unfelt_a there_o be_v a_o hardness_n that_o be_v feel_v so_o the_o church_n say_v in_o isaiah_n 63._o ver._n 1._o ah_o lord_n why_o have_v thou_o harden_v our_o heart_n from_o thy_o fear_n but_o 17._o there_o be_v likewise_o a_o hardness_n of_o heart_n that_o though_o it_o lie_v upon_o the_o soul_n yet_o they_o feel_v it_o not_o that_o they_o be_v as_o dead_a man_n under_o it_o like_o nabal_n heart_n that_o be_v like_o a_o stone_n and_o he_o take_v no_o notice_n of_o it_o and_o this_o unfelt_a hardness_n of_o heart_n it_o proceed_v sometime_o from_o ignorance_n and_o sometime_o from_o malice_n four_o 4._o know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o hardness_n of_o heart_n that_o be_v unwilling_a 18._o bemoan_v lament_v groan_v under_o look_v upon_o as_o a_o judgement_n as_o a_o misery_n and_o there_o be_v a_o hardness_n of_o heart_n that_o be_v willing_a a_o willing_a hardness_n a_o please_a hardness_n a_o reign_a hardness_n a_o hardness_n choose_v and_o delight_v in_o that_o there_o be_v a_o unwilling_a bemoan_v hardness_n be_v plain_a in_o ephraim_n case_n in_o ier._n 31._o who_o make_v this_o his_o sorrowful_a complaint_n before_o god_n that_o his_o heart_n be_v like_o a_o heifer_n like_o a_o bullock_n that_o will_v not_o carry_v god_n yoke_n it_o make_v he_o weep_v bitter_o for_o it_o and_o so_o the_o church_n in_o the_o forementioned_a place_n of_o isaiah_n 63._o o_o lord_n why_o be_v our_o heart_n harden_v from_o thy_o fear_n she_o 63._o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o marvelous_a great_a evil_n that_o lie_v upon_o they_o but_o then_o there_o be_v likewise_o a_o hardness_n that_o be_v a_o please_a hardness_n a_o hardness_n delight_v in_o a_o hardness_n reign_v a_o hardness_n glory_v in_o that_o be_v the_o hardness_n that_o my_o text_n mention_v last_o know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o hardness_n of_o heart_n that_o be_v man_n work_n and_o there_o be_v a_o hardness_n of_o heart_n that_o be_v god_n work_n 5._o work_n the_o hardness_n of_o heart_n that_o be_v man_n work_n be_v all_o those_o several_a hardness_n that_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o hitherto_o whether_o natural_a gradual_a feel_v or_o unfelt_a bemoan_v or_o glory_v in_o they_o be_v all_o our_o own_o hardness_n but_o then_o there_o be_v also_o a_o hardness_n which_o be_v god_n work_n which_o be_v a_o judiciary_n hardness_n a_o judgement_n inflict_v by_o god_n righteous_o upon_o man_n who_o when_o they_o will_v harden_v themselves_o god_n consent_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v harden_v and_o concur_v to_o their_o harden_n so_o he_o be_v frequent_o say_v in_o scripture_n to_o harden_v pharaoh_n heart_n and_o to_o harden_v who_o he_o will_v but_o this_o same_o judiciary_n hardness_n of_o heart_n which_o be_v god_n work_n you_o
must_v know_v it_o be_v not_o by_o god_n infuse_v obstinacy_n and_o and_o malice_n into_o they_o that_o god_n do_v to_o none_o but_o it_o stand_v in_o these_o three_o thing_n sometime_o by_o take_v away_o from_o they_o or_o deny_v they_o those_o mean_n that_o may_v make_v their_o heart_n pliable_a to_o god_n or_o 1._o second_o in_o case_n they_o do_v enjoy_v the_o mean_n yet_o god_n withhold_v his_o blessing_n from_o the_o mean_n and_o three_o 2._o permit_v they_o or_o so_o far_o withdraw_v the_o bridle_n of_o 3._o his_o restrain_v grace_n from_o they_o as_o to_o permit_v they_o to_o abuse_v the_o mean_n that_o they_o do_v enjoy_v to_o their_o own_o ruin_n and_o further_o harden_v and_o thus_o be_v pharaoh_n and_o his_o people_n harden_v by_o the_o ministry_n of_o moses_n and_o aaron_n and_o thus_o be_v the_o israelite_n harden_v by_o isaiah_n ministry_n as_o you_o will_v find_v it_o in_o isaiah_n 6._o the_o lord_n say_v to_o he_o go_v 9_o to_o this_o people_n and_o make_v their_o heart_n hard_a how_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v preach_v to_o they_o but_o they_o shall_v be_v give_v up_o to_o a_o fat_a heart_n that_o be_v a_o senseless_a and_o a_o heavy_a ear_n that_o be_v a_o heedless_a ear_n god_n will_v give_v they_o up_o to_o a_o senselessness_n and_o heedlessness_n that_o the_o more_o mean_n they_o enjoy_v the_o more_o desperate_a and_o vile_a their_o heart_n shall_v grow_v now_o then_o to_o draw_v up_o all_o this_o to_o my_o purpose_n the_o doctrine_n that_o i_o be_o to_o handle_v wherein_o i_o be_o to_o show_v you_o that_o harden_v the_o heart_n against_o god_n be_v a_o certain_a forerunner_n of_o destruction_n i_o do_v not_o mean_v it_o of_o that_o natural_a hardness_n that_o we_o all_o bring_v into_o the_o world_n nor_o of_o that_o

god_n people_n much_o less_o of_o that_o feel_v bewail_v bemoan_v hardness_n that_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o heavy_a judgement_n by_o they_o that_o lie_v under_o it_o though_o all_o these_o be_v sin_n yet_o these_o be_v not_o the_o sin_n of_o my_o text_n but_o my_o text_n mean_v it_o of_o the_o choose_a voluntary_a elect_a hardness_n the_o total_n hardness_n the_o reign_a hardness_n when_o man_n do_v obstinate_o and_o willing_o strengthen_v and_o make_v firm_a their_o heart_n in_o their_o sinful_a way_n against_o god_n and_o then_o god_n in_o his_o righteous_a judgement_n concur_v and_o say_v be_v it_o so_o when_o man_n do_v thus_o harden_v their_o heart_n against_o god_n be_v it_o a_o family_n be_v it_o a_o kingdom_n be_v it_o one_o or_o be_v they_o many_o this_o harden_v the_o
