1.1_o so_o god_n blind_a and_o harden_v be_v thing_n proper_a and_o peculiar_a to_o the_o reprobate_n and_o whosoever_o god_n do_v blind_a and_o harden_v by_o the_o malice_n of_o the_o devil_n out_o of_o all_o question_n those_o person_n be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o reprobation_n i_o meddle_v not_o now_o with_o the_o manner_n of_o god_n harden_v for_o that_o belong_v to_o the_o next_o verse_n

it_o be_v that_o we_o find_v in_o scripture_n that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n depart_v from_o and_o forsake_v some_o particular_a person_n be_v reprobate_n indeed_o the_o lord_n do_v many_o time_n

they_o utter_o now_o we_o read_v in_o scripture_n of_o some_o that_o god_n depart_v from_o final_o in_o the_o 1_o sam._n 18.12_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o lord_n depart_v from_o saul_n and_o not_o

and_o hatred_n to_o envy_n david_n and_o thus_o also_o we_o find_v god_n give_v up_o the_o reprobate_n heathen_a unto_o their_o own_o heart_n lust_n in_o rom._n 1.21_o god_n give_v they_o up_o to_o

blame_v now_o to_o answer_v this_o question_n that_o man_n be_v excusable_a answ_n man_n reason_n will_v yield_v unto_o and_o that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v free_v from_o blame_n because_o god_n will_v

in_o the_o sin_n that_o come_v from_o the_o harden_v of_o their_o heart_n yet_o do_v not_o god_n will_v enforce_v hardness_n upon_o they_o make_v their_o heart_n hard_a that_o be_v before_o soft_a neither_o do_v god_n will_v compel_v man_n to_o the_o commit_n of_o those_o sin_n which_o they_o run_v into_o there_o be_v no_o such_o matter_n god_n will_v do_v neither_o harden_v be_v soft_a nor_o

they_o bring_v upon_o themselves_o and_o upon_o all_o their_o posterity_n sin_n and_o hardness_n of_o heart_n all_o that_o come_v from_o they_o by_o natural_a generation_n have_v suck_v the_o same_o

man_n and_o to_o leave_v they_o in_o their_o natural_a hardness_n the_o lord_n in_o his_o just_a judgement_n do_v inflict_v far_a hardness_n upon_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n as_o a_o just_a judgement_n of_o their_o hardness_n before_o they_o themselves_o by_o nature_n be_v willing_a to_o continue_v in_o their_o hardness_n so_o that_o god_n do_v not_o thrust_v further_a hardness_n upon_o the_o

against_o their_o will_n whether_o they_o will_v or_o no_o but_o they_o do_v free_o and_o willing_o consent_v unto_o sin_n they_o give_v their_o free_a voluntary_a consent_n unto_o sin_n they_o sin_n with_o a_o delight_n they_o do_v according_a to_o their_o own_o will_n and_o according_a to_o the_o natural_a inclination_n thereof_o the_o lord_n will_v move_v their_o will_n as_o he_o move_v the_o

free_o and_o voluntary_o commit_v sin_n and_o so_o they_o sin_n of_o necessity_n but_o how_o not_o of_o necessity_n of_o coaction_n or_o compulsion_n as_o if_o they_o be_v enforce_v to_o sin_n but_o

neither_o force_n hardness_n upon_o their_o heart_n nor_o cause_v they_o to_o sin_n but_o the_o lord_n find_v they_o natural_o incline_v to_o hardness_n and_o that_o they_o be_v harden_v by_o nature_n

the_o apostle_n affirm_v that_o god_n have_v mercy_n upon_o who_o he_o will_v and_o so_o the_o apostle_n
he_o that_o will_v or_o desire_v good_a so_o it_o be_v not_o in_o he_o that_o work_v any_o good_a thing_n as_o david_n say_v psal_n 119.32_o i_o will_v run_v the_o way_n of_o thy_o commandment_n

that_o testimony_n of_o scripture_n of_o god_n unto_o moses_n i_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o i_o will_v thereupon_o in_o this_o verse_n our_o apostle_n draw_v out_o and_o bring_v in_o a_o

the_o law_n against_o those_o say_v they_o the_o apostle_n bend_v his_o face_n and_o beat_v now_o this_o conceit_n of_o they_o can_v stand_v with_o the_o plain_a evidence_n of_o this_o whole_a chapter_n and_o especial_o with_o the_o evidence_n of_o this_o verse_n the_o example_n of_o pharaoh_n make_v direct_o against_o they_o for_o consider_v it_o be_v pharaoh_n a_o a_o jew_n can_v pharaoh_n be_v so_o consider_v as_o one_o zealous_a of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n can_v this_o possible_o be_v see_v how_o absurd_a and_o gross_a they_o be_v in_o their_o opinion_n they_o can_v observe_v and_o mark_v that_o the_o apostle_n bring_v not_o only_o the_o example_n of_o esaw_n a_o jew_n but_o the_o example_n of_o pharaoh_n a_o gentile_a thereby_o show_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v reject_v some_o among_o man_n as_o well_o jew_n as_o gentile_n so_o that_o you_o see_v the_o apostle_n mean_v that_o god_n free_o and_o out_o of_o his_o own_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n without_o respect_n have_v to_o any_o thing_n in_o man_n have_v reject_v some_o among_o man_n both_o of_o jew_n and_o gentile_n again_o in_o that_o the_o apostle_n say_v god_n harden_v who_o he_o will_v here_o you_o see_v that_o the_o apostle_n do_v limit_v that_o act_n of_o god_n harden_v to_o some_o among_o man_n so_o that_o the_o observation_n be_v plain_a viz._n doctrine_n that_o god_n will_v be_v to_o harden_v some_o among_o the_o son_n of_o man_n the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o deny_v his_o save_a grace_n and_o mercy_n and_o to_o with_o hold_v it_o from_o some_o among_o man_n the_o place_n before_o allege_a show_v that_o god_n out_o of_o his_o mere_a pleasure_n reach_v out_o his_o save_a mercy_n not_o unto_o all_o but_o only_o to_o some_o that_o very_a point_n do_v evidence_n the_o

particular_o we_o find_v in_o the_o book_n of_o exodus_fw-la it_o be_v often_o say_v that_o the_o lord_n do_v harden_v the_o heart_n of_o pharaoh_n as_o in_o the_o 7._o chapter_n and_o 3._o verse_n say_v god_n i_o will_v harden_v pharaoh_n heart_n and_o in_o the_o 9_o chapter_n and_o 12_o verse_n and_o also_o in_o the_o 10._o chapter_n and_o the_o 20._o verse_n the_o lord_n harden_v pharaoh_n

of_o the_o lord_n to_o harden_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o wicked_a enemy_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o in_o psalm_n 81.12_o the_o psalmist_n say_v that_o the_o people_n yield_v not_o unto_o
