one_o in_o his_o sin_n and_o when_o this_o come_v our_o former_a supposal_n of_o sufficient_a grace_n as_o of_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n and_o god_n call_v be_v utter_o at_o a_o end_n but_o this_o breed_v no_o show_n of_o difficulty_n that_o man_n have_v enjoy_v and_o misspend_v his_o time_n of_o sufficient_a grace_n and_o now_o the_o storehouse_n be_v shut_v up_o §_o 39_o but_o there_o be_v yet_o possible_o a_o six_o state_n of_o withdraw_a when_o before_o either_o cut_n off_o or_o excision_n withdraw_a god_n outward_a call_v whilst_o life_n and_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n be_v continue_v the_o obdurate_a sinner_n that_o have_v long_o harden_v his_o own_o heart_n against_o god_n thereby_o provoke_v he_o total_o to_o withdraw_v all_o inward_a grace_n from_o he_o as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o be_v already_o in_o hell_n this_o seem_v to_o be_v pharaoh_n case_n after_o the_o six_o judgement_n and_o be_v design_v by_o god_n to_o very_o excellent_a end_n to_o make_v he_o a_o example_n to_o all_o those_o that_o shall_v be_v incline_v to_o harden_v their_o heart_n against_o god_n and_o though_o we_o know_v not_o that_o god_n thus_o deal_v with_o any_o other_o yet_o it_o be_v sure_a he_o just_o may_v with_o all_o who_o he_o may_v just_o cut_v off_o in_o their_o sin_n and_o in_o this_o case_n i_o acknowledge_v the_o non-conversion_n of_o such_o a_o man_n be_v not_o only_o imputable_a to_o the_o indisposition_n of_o the_o person_n to_o be_v wrought_v on_o but_o also_o to_o the_o withdraw_n of_o the_o divine_a grace_n for_o then_o as_o i_o say_v the_o former_a supposal_n of_o the_o like_a sufficiency_n remain_v cease_v and_o be_v out-dated_n §_o 40._o what_o fresh_a difficulty_n can_v arise_v from_o this_o concession_n i_o can_v divine_v unless_o 1._o it_o shall_v be_v object_v that_o then_o it_o seem_v the_o word_n be_v not_o always_o the_o vehicle_n of_o grace_n and_o then_o 2._o who_o know_v when_o it_o be_v so_o when_o not_o and_o how_o then_o be_v this_o reconcileable_a with_o the_o doctrine_n of_o sufficient_a grace_n always_o accompany_v the_o word_n and_o to_o these_o the_o answer_n be_v obvious_a 1._o that_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o the_o obdurate_a word_n be_v not_o the_o vehicle_n of_o grace_n to_o the_o devil_n who_o believe_v and_o tremble_v to_o the_o damn_a who_o have_v receive_v their_o sentence_n nay_o nor_o to_o those_o that_o be_v thus_o arrive_v to_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o obduration_n in_o this_o life_n and_o have_v as_o pharaoh_n this_o exterminate_a sentence_n pass_v upon_o they_o it_o be_v sufficient_a if_o it_o be_v so_o to_o they_o that_o be_v in_o a_o capacity_n to_o make_v use_n of_o it_o and_o have_v not_o utter_o harden_v themselves_o against_o it_o the_o scripture-expression_n be_v that_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n to_o every_o one_o that_o believe_v 1●_n it_o and_o this_o be_v enough_o to_o establish_v our_o pretension_n the_o doctrine_n of_o sufficient_a grace_n there_o be_v a_o competent_a time_n allow_v every_o man_n and_o it_o be_v certain_a death_n be_v the_o conclusion_n of_o it_o it_o be_v possible_a some_o space_n before_o death_n §_o 41._o as_o for_o the_o second_o if_o it_o be_v on_o the_o premise_a ground_n grant_v that_o sometime_o it_o can_v be_v know_v whether_o or_o no_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n do_v then_o bring_v this_o grace_n with_o it_o yet_o the_o one_o regular_a consequence_n will_v be_v that_o we_o shall_v all_o be_v the_o more_o careful_a to_o make_v use_n of_o grace_n when_o it_o be_v afford_v but_o when_o to_o this_o be_v add_v that_o this_o barren_a season_n be_v always_o the_o reward_n of_o obstinate_a obduration_n and_o of_o nothing_o less_o than_o that_o as_o long_o as_o that_o we_o have_v any_o softness_n leave_v that_o be_v our_o assurance_n that_o this_o sad_a time_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v upon_o we_o they_o that_o go_v on_o in_o their_o obdurate_a course_n have_v reason_n to_o expect_v this_o fatal_a period_n every_o hour_n but_o they_o that_o have_v remorse_n and_o any_o degree_n of_o sincere_a relent_a may_v know_v by_o this_o that_o this_o state_n of_o spiritual_a death_n have_v not_o yet_o seize_v they_o and_o that_o be_v sufficient_a to_o guard_v this_o doctrine_n from_o all_o noxious_a consequence_n have_v provide_v that_o none_o shall_v hereby_o think_v his_o state_n desperate_a that_o be_v willing_a to_o reform_v it_o §_o 42._o but_o than_o it_o be_v far_a to_o be_v remember_v that_o there_o appear_v not_o in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n any_o other_o example_n of_o this_o total_a spiritual_a dereliction_n final_o scripture_n inflict_v before_o death_n but_o only_o that_o of_o pharaoh_n after_o the_o time_n that_o god_n be_v say_v to_o have_v harden_v his_o heart_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v set_v down_o god_n keep_v he_o alive_a after_o the_o time_n due_a to_o his_o excision_n that_o he_o may_v show_v in_o he_o his_o power_n and_o such_o singular_a example_n ought_v no_o far_o to_o be_v 17._o take_v into_o consideration_n by_o we_o at_o this_o distance_n from_o they_o then_o to_o warn_v we_o that_o we_o keep_v as_o far_o as_o it_o

other_o that_o shall_v be_v apt_a to_o occur_v when_o man_n set_v themselves_o to_o consider_v of_o these_o point_n not_o divine_v what_o they_o be_v i_o may_v not_o pretend_v to_o speak_v to_o they_o
