5. Another Character is this, that man that is without a hearing ear to the voice of Christ, and an obedient heart to the ⟨p. 41⟩mands of Christ, that man hath no interest in Christ: I shall give you two plain texts of Scripture to prove this, one is in Joh. 8. 47. He that is of God heareth Gods 1word; you therefore hear them not, because you are not of God; they that are of God, hear his Word; those that belong to Christ, and have an interest in him, hear his Word, not only with the ear, but with the heart, and so in 1 Joh. 1. 6. says the Apostle, We are of God, he that is of God, heareth us; he that is not of God, heareth not us; hereby know we the spirit of truth and the spirit of error: and therefore thou obstinate and stout hearted wretch, that canst lie like a flint under the Word of God, and suffer no command to make impression upon thy spirit; verily thou canst lay no just claim to Jesus Christ.
