Though it hath never so many stopples in it, he can pull them out, never so many locks upon it, though all the seven spoken of, and seven more obstruct the ear, yet he can open them all, and make a free and uncontrollable passage for his word into the remotest and closest chambers of the soul. God can speak loud enough, not only to make the deaf, but the dead hear his voice. Verily; verily I say unto you (saith Christ, Joh. 5.25.) the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. By the dead he means not those who are corporally, but spiritually dead, that is, dead in sins and trespasses, and in danger of eternal death for their sins and trespasses, even these heard the voice of the Son of God then speaking personally, and heard it afterwards ministerially, in the dispensation of the Gospel, and that voice revived them, not only by giving them the comfort of that natural life which they had before, but by bringing in a new spiritual life which before they had not. Then the internal ear is opened to purpose when those internal or mystically dark graves of sin are opened, and the soul comes forth into the light of life.

God can speak loud enough, not only to make the deafe, but the dead hear his voyce. Verily; verily I say unto you (saith Christ, Joh. 5.25.) the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voyce of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
