he tells them the plain truth of it to their faces. Ye have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and all his servants, 1and unto all his land. The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, those great 2miracles and wonders: Yet the Lord hath not given you an heart to perceive, nor eyes to see, nor ears to hear unto this day. Is this the course of imposture, when he tells them to their faces, that albeit he commands them, exhorts them, expostulates with them, and expresses forms of desire of their obedience in his word; yet except God gives them an heart, they cannot perceive; except God gives them eyes, they cannot see; except the Lord gives them ears they cannot hear: What can be more plain dealing then this? Like as our Saviour no less plainly told the Jews to their face; He that is of God heareth God's words; ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God; Yet was he earnest and pathetical enough in exhorting them to repentance by the ministry of John the Baptist; by his own ministry. Jerusalem, Jerusalem that killest the Prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together as an hen gathereth her chicken under her wings, and ye would not. Behold your habitation is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you ye shall not see me henceforth, till that ye say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. I come to this Author's Prosopopey; for the truth is his Rhetoric surmounts his Logic, whereat I wonder not a little.

The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, those great 2miracles and wonders: Yet the Lord hath not given you an heart to perceive, nor eyes to see, nor eares to heare unto this day. Is this the course of imposture, when he tells them to their faces, that albeit he commands them, exhorts them, expostulates with them, and expresses formes of desire of their obedience in his word; yet except God gives them an heart, they cannot perceive; except God gives them eyes, they cannot see; except the Lord gives them eares they cannot heare: What can be more plaine dealing then this? Like as our Saviour no lesse plainly told the Jewes to their face; He that is of God heareth God's words; ye therefore heare them not, because ye are not of God; Yet was he earnest and patheticall enough in exhorting them to repentance by the ministery of Iohn the Baptist; by his own ministery. Ierusalem, Ierusalem that killest the Prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together as an hen gathereth her chicken under her wings, and ye would not. Behold your habitation is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you ye shall not see me henceforth, till that ye say, Blessed is he that commeth in the name of the Lord.
