That which is here chiefly meant is, the grosser act of hardness, when men either speak or go on in their way acting against God; let ⟨p. 162⟩him say what he will, his word stops them not; or do what he will, his works stop them not. They are like the adamant, the hammer of the Word makes no impression upon hard hearts, but recoils back again upon him that strikes with it. More distinctly; this is either a sensible hardness of heart, of which the Church complains (Isa. 63.15.) Wherefore hast thou hardened our hearts? &c. or an insensible hardness, which in some arises from ignorance, in others from malice and obstinacy.
