Now for such Creatures, nothing will do but Violence. The stubborn Son, must be stoned till he dies; and the Prodigal, must be Famished out of all: Nothing else, I say, will do. Their Self-willed, stubborn Heart, will not comply with the Will of God, before 'tis broken, Deut. 21. 21. Luke 15. 14, 15, 16, 17.
These are they that are called the Stout-hearted; these are said to be far from Righteousness, and so will remain until their Hearts ⟨p. 118⟩are broken; for so they must be made to know themselves, Isa. 9. 9, 10, 11.
