(2) It's the severest stroke God can inflict upon the soul in this life, to give it up to barrenness; because it cuts off all hopes, frustrates all means, nothing can be a blessing to him. If one come from the dead, if Angels should descend from heaven to preach to him; there is no hope of him. If God shut up a man, who can open? Job 12. 14. As there was none found in heaven or earth, that could open the seals of that book, Rev. 5. 5. so is there no opening by the hand of the most able and skilful Ministry, those seals of hardness, blindness and unbelief, thus impressed upon the spirit. Whom justice so locks up, mercy will never let out. This is that which makes up the Anathema Maranatha, 1 Cor. 16. 22. ⟨p. 57⟩which is the dreadfullest curse in all the book of God, cacursed till the Lord come.
