would perswade men otherwise Q. 181. How is it so behoofull in respect of ☜ a mans selfe A. First it conduces much to his believing Tit. 2.11 12. 3.3 4 5 6. Psal 9.10 36.7 8 9.

No as the ability to hear outwardly is of Gods gift Pro. 20.12 Rom. 10.17 Joh. 5.25 so the word outwardly heard brings to men by the gift of Gods power of more in ward hearing attention Q 189. How is it then that some hear not Ps 58.4 5 Mat. 13.15 Acts 28.27 Zech. 7.11 12 13 Psal 81.10 11 12 13. Rom 9 1● 1.24 28 Psa 81.11 12 Luc. 13.25 26. Joh. 12.39 40. Jer. 6.29 30 A.
