But you will say, What is Judgement? and what is it to take away Judgement? or how is a mans Judgement taken away?
I answer; There is a three-fold notion of Judgement in Scripture.
First, Judgement is the result or issue of a mans reason about any matter or question propounded to him. God sometimes takes away mans Judgement in that sense, and then he becomes a fool, and unable to judge. 'Tis a dreadful judgement when God thus takes away mans judgement, and gives him up to a Reprobate ⟨p. 518⟩(or an unjudicious) mind, as he did the old Gentiles (Rom: 1.28.) for then he will quickly do those things which are not convenient; not being able to distinguish nor discern between true or false, he must needs put light for darkness, bitter for sweet, sweet for bitter; Elihu doth not represent Job complaining that God had taken away his judgement in this notion.
