Lastly, In respect of men hardened in their errors, that their obstinacy may appear the more: That when they will not see, though the day appear, who then can justify them? Thus the Pharisees, the proper builders of hay and stubble, yet Christ tells them, He came into the world, that they might not see. Their blindness was the more increased by his light.

Use of Admonition, To embrace those days of light and Revelation, which God brings into the world. Do not dote upon thy own Opinions; thy old corrupt Doctrines and Worship: It's no longer night, the day appeareth. It's true, such a day is very terrible to men, who are wholly corrupted with their errors: As Mal. 3. The Prophet speaking of his coming to purify the sons of Levi, crieth out; Who may abide the day of his coming? It's as terrible (you heard) as the Day of Judgment to them. Certainly, to superstitious and idololatrical persons, the day of Reformation is a terrible day: They cannot abide the purity and holiness of it. Do not dispute, but wisely observe when God causeth such days to arise upon thee; thy blindness will be the more inexcusable.
