Secondly, With how many is the day of Grace past, and the time of God's patience run out? and then we may be sure God will not give them repentance: They have so many times rejected the counsel of God against themselves; Luke 7.30. refused the Offers of Grace, turned a deaf ear to the calls of the Gospel, stiffened their necks, and refused to return, that now they are past it. God that waited on them so long, will wait no longer. They had a time of acceptation, a day of salvation, 2 Cor. 6.2. but that being over, they are to have no more. God was nigh to them, and might have been found of them, Isa. 55.7. but is now withdrawn from them, and they may seek Christ, and die in their sins, John 8.21. the may seek and not find, call, and God give them no answer, Prov. 1.28.
