contempt_n of_o their_o embassage_n one_o that_o the_o lord_n take_v no_o notice_n of_o any_o such_o thing_n do_v you_o fast_v to_o i_o say_v he_o you_o speak_v of_o day_n of_o fast_v 1._o that_o

a_o sound_n and_o a_o sharp_a reproof_n you_o have_v weep_v and_o mourn_v but_o shall_v not_o you_o rather_o have_v take_v notice_n of_o the_o word_n which_o the_o lord_n do_v send_v by_o the_o

every_o man_n to_o his_o brother_n oppress_v not_o the_o widow_n the_o fatherless_a nor_o the_o stranger_n let_v none_o of_o you_o imagine_v evil_a against_o his_o brother_n in_o his_o heart_n this_o

prophet_n there_o instance_n only_o in_o two_o table_n duty_n but_o i_o think_v the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o jew_n be_v always_o very_o exact_a in_o matter_n of_o god_n worship_n save_v only_o when_o they_o fall_v into_o idolatry_n and_o they_o bear_v themselves_o much_o upon_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o first_o table_n and_o it_o be_v god_n ordinary_a practice_n when_o he_o will_v discover_v the_o hypocrisy_n of_o man_n that_o be_v much_o in_o holy_a duty_n to_o fall_v upon_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o second_o table_n wherein_o they_o ordinary_o be_v careless_a so_o the_o prophet_n tell_v they_o that_o have_v they_o walk_v after_o this_o manner_n this_o wrath_n have_v never_o come_v upon_o they_o but_o now_o which_o be_v the_o second_o see_v what_o disobedience_n they_o show_v to_o this_o and_o this_o disobedience_n 2._o be_v lay_v down_o in_o the_o 11._o and_o 12._o verse_n and_o aggravate_v from_o the_o worst_a quality_n that_o disobedience_n can_v be_v accompany_v with_o that_o be_v wilfulness_n and_o obstinacy_n and_o this_o wilful_a and_o obstinate_a disobedience_n of_o they_o be_v lay_v down_o in_o four_o metaphor_n but_o all_o of_o they_o signify_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n only_o the_o three_o first_o do_v most_o immediate_o signify_v the_o outward_a expression_n of_o their_o disobedience_n and_o the_o four_o which_o be_v the_o root_n of_o all_o discover_v the_o very_a fountain_n whence_o all_o their_o disobedience_n do_v spring_n first_o say_v he_o they_o refuse_v to_o harken_v they_o be_v like_o to_o a_o man_n that_o when_o you_o will_v do_v a_o errand_n to_o he_o fling_v away_o from_o you_o and_o say_v plain_o he_o will_v not_o hear_v what_o you_o say_v second_o they_o pull_v away_o their_o shoulder_n allude_v unto_o a_o beast_n a_o

allude_v to_o adder_n that_o they_o say_v of_o it_o it_o lay_v one_o ear_n against_o the_o ground_n and_o stop_v the_o other_o ear_n with_o the_o tail_n that_o it_o may_v not_o be_v charm_v or_o like_o unto_o those_o that_o when_o they_o will_v plain_o let_v you_o see_v how_o much_o they_o slight_v what_o you_o say_v to_o they_o put_v their_o finger_n in_o their_o ear_n that_o all_o may_v take_v notice_n they_o will_v not_o regard_v you_o but_o then_o fourthly_a which_o be_v the_o theme_n that_o i_o purpose_v to_o handle_v by_o the_o lord_n assistance_n here_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o that_o be_v they_o make_v their_o heart_n like_o a_o adamant_n stone_n yea_o say_v he_o they_o make_v their_o heart_n like_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 speak_v then_o follow_v the_o three_o branch_n the_o fruit_n of_o their_o disobedience_n therefore_o all_o this_o wrath_n be_v come_v upon_o they_o in_o these_o word_n here_o be_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v handle_v first_o the_o sin_n that_o this_o people_n be_v guilty_a of_o in_o these_o 1._o word_n they_o make_v their_o heart_n like_o a_o adamant_n stone_n that_o they_o may_v not_o hear_v the_o word_n second_o the_o judgement_n that_o this_o sin_n bring_v upon_o they_o therefore_o say_v the_o lord_n it_o be_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o as_o they_o 2._o will_v not_o hear_v i_o i_o will_v not_o hear_v they_o but_o a_o great_a wrath_n be_v come_v upon_o they_o and_o i_o have_v scatter_v they_o among_o all_o the_o nation_n and_o lay_v their_o land_n desolate_a in_o their_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o only_a theme_n i_o shall_v insist_v upon_o you_o have_v two_o thing_n first_o what_o their_o sin_n be_v what_o the_o wicked_a frame_n of_o their_o 1._o heart_n be_v their_o heart_n be_v like_o a_o adamant_n stone_n second_o how_o it_o come_v to_o be_v so_o they_o make_v their_o heart_n so_o themselves_o 2._o they_o make_v their_o heart_n as_o a_o adamant_n stone_n next_o open_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o what_o be_v here_o mean_v by_o a_o adamant_n stone_n the_o hebrew_n word_n be_v various_o interpret_v some_o do_v render_v it_o a_o flint_n some_o a_o stone_n that_o will_v not_o waste_v many_o with_o our_o new_a translation_n render_v it_o a_o adamant_n but_o general_o critic_n do_v agree_v that_o it_o be_v a_o stone_n of_o the_o hard_a nature_n that_o will_v not_o by_o any_o tool_n be_v grave_v or_o fashion_v to_o any_o desirable_a mould_n so_o to_o make_v their_o heart_n as_o a_o adamant_n stone_n do_v plain_o mean_a they_o do_v extreme_o harden_v their_o heart_n that_o be_v the_o english_a of_o it_o they_o will_v not_o hear_v they_o stop_v their_o ear_n they_o pull_v away_o their_o shoulder_n yea_o they_o do_v extreme_o harden_v their_o heart_n here_o be_v two_o thing_n further_a to_o be_v interpret_v first_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o heart_n that_o be_v here_o harden_v and_o 1._o second_o what_o this_o harden_v the_o heart_n signify_v 2._o by_o heart_n you_o know_v be_v natural_o mean_v that_o piece_n of_o 1._o flesh_n that_o be_v in_o the_o body_n which_o they_o say_v it_o be_v primum_fw-la vivens_fw-la and_o ultimum_fw-la moriens_fw-la but_o moral_o and_o spiritual_o by_o the_o heart_n be_v mean_v the_o soul_n and_o usual_o the_o will_n and_o the_o affection_n be_v ordinary_o in_o scripture_n mean_v by_o the_o heart_n so_o it_o be_v here_o what_o by_o hardness_n or_o harden_v harden_v in_o the_o natural_a 2._o signification_n of_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o withdraw_n of_o moisture_n form_v any_o
