Therefore examine your selves in what a frame your hearts ⟨p. 299⟩stand in; if so be you find that your hearts are hardened (as the Apostle saith) that is, such as cannot repent, it will be a difficult thing for you to receive Christ; that is, if you have put the spirit by his proper work, and have hardened your hearts from his fear, it will be a hard matter for you to get the spirit of repentance; the Apostle calls men in this estate, like Trees twice plucked up by the roots, Jude verse 12. that is, it will be a hard matter to make them to grow again, and be fruitful: but if you be thoroughly humbled, Christ is exceeding merciful and ready to receive you unto favour.
