§. 45. Direct. 22. But if men are resolved to join with the Devil, and shut their eyes, and •avil1 against all that God speaketh to them to prevent their misery, and know not, because they will not know, what remedy is left, or who can save men against their wills? This is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men love darkness rather than light, because their deeds are evil. He that doth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. John 3. 19, 20. In Scripture, some things are hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable, wrest to their own destruction, 2 Pet. 3. 16. Of particulars read the end of my Treatise of Conversion.
