therefore_o they_o can_v not_o believe_v because_o that_o isaiah_n say_v he_o have_v blind_v their_o eye_n and_o harden_a their_o heart_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o see_v with_o their_o eye_n nor_o

may_v be_v say_v to_o harden_n man_n when_o he_o withdraw_v his_o grace_n because_o man_n have_v first_o harden_a their_o heart_n against_o it_o it_o be_v free_a for_o god_n to_o take_v the_o

pharaoh_n harden_a his_o own_o heart_n and_o when_o after_o so_o many_o miraculous_a judgement_n he_o be_v not_o reform_v then_o it_o be_v say_v in_o a_o new_a stile_n exod._n 9.10_o &_o 10.27_o that_o the_o lord_z harden_a pharaoh_n heart_n but_o there_o be_v one_o objection_n that_o seem_v to_o interfere_v with_o this_o doctrine_n which_o i_o must_v remove_v and_o then_o i_o will_v shake_v hand_n with_o this_o particular_a the_o objection_n be_v this_o do_v not_o god_n tell_v moses_n at_o first_o before_o ever_o we_o read_v that_o pharaoh_n pave_v his_o heart_n with_o obduration_n that_o he_o will_v harden_n he_o do_v not_o god_n say_v to_o moses_n exod._n 4.21_o do_v alice_n the_o wonder_n before_o pharaoh_n which_o i_o have_v put_v into_o thy_o hand_n but_o i_o will_v harden_n his_o heart_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o let_v the_o people_z go_v now_o these_o word_n of_o god_n i_o will_v harden_n his_o heart_n be_v record_v before_o we_o have_v any_o news_n of_o pharaoh_n harden_v himself_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o god_n foretell_v so_o early_o that_o he_o will_v harden_n pharaoh_n heart_n be_v no_o argument_n that_o he_o will_v do_v it_o immediate_o and_o without_o any_o demerit_n of_o pharaoh_n but_o that_o god_n foresee_v and_o foreknow_v that_o pharaoh_n will_v lay_v the_o first_o stone_n of_o his_o obduration_n and_o first_o harden_v himself_o say_v thereupon_o i_o will_v harden_n his_o heart_n now_o that_o god_n foresee_v pharaoh_n harden_v himself_n be_v clear_a and_o evident_a from_o exod._n 3.19_o and_o i_o be_o sure_a that_o the_o king_n of_o egypt_n will_v not_o let_v you_o go_v no_o not_o by_o a_o mighty_a hand_n so_o that_o if_o you_o careful_o peruse_v the_o history_n of_o pharaoh_n life_n and_o action_n you_o will_v find_v that_o god_n do_v not_o harden_n he_o till_o he_o have_v harden_v himself_o six_o time_n against_o god_n heavy_a judgement_n which_o be_v a_o notable_a example_n of_o god_n deal_n with_o a_o obdurate_a sinner_n that_o have_v fill_v up_o the_o measure_n of_o his_o sin_n keep_v he_o alive_a but_o without_o grace_n without_o repentance_n second_o god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o harden_v man_n without_o any_o impeachment_n to_o his_o justice_n by_o present_v occasion_n which_o sinner_n through_o their_o own_o innate_a corruption_n make_v instrumental_a to_o their_o obduration_n but_o this_o can_v reflect_v no_o dishonour_n upon_o god_n nor_o blemish_v his_o justice_n because_o these_o occasion_n be_v not_o design_v by_o god_n to_o decoy_n any_o into_o sin_n but_o be_v good_a in_o themselves_o light_n though_o good_a and_o pleasant_a in_o itself_o yet_o it_o hurt_v sore_a eye_n what_o be_v there_o so_o good_a that_o obdurate_a sinner_n will_v not_o abuse_v pharaoh_n be_v

whereof_o he_o give_v the_o occasion_n a_o example_n of_o this_o may_v be_v shimei_n curse_v david_n which_o he_o tell_v abishai_n in_o 2_o sam._n 16.11_o that_o the_o lord_n bid_v he_o do_v but_o
