Pag. 89. And seventh section, concerning the use and end of God's gifts; divers passages of our Divines are mentioned, showing the end of God's providence in affording his word unto reprobates. As first out of Calvin, Behold he directs his voice unto them that they may be the more deaf; He kindles a light, but that they may be made more blind; He giveth ⟨p. 167⟩1them a remedy; that they might not be healed. Now Calvin herein points to that of Isaiah. Go and say to the children of Israel, hearing hear but understand not, seeing, see 2but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat (or obstinate) and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; least they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, & convert and be healed And Calvin doth but relate what the Lord saith to Isaiah: Ecce vocem ad eos dirigit. Behold (by this place of the prophet Isaiah) to what end the Lord sends his prophet to speak unto them. Now if Calvin doth herein misinterpret that place of the prophet Isaiah, it became this Author to except against his interpretation, and discover the unsoundness of it; But taking no such course, and consequently by his silence (being an adversary) justifying his interpretation; while he reproacheth Calvin in this particular, he reproacheth the Holy Ghost, whose words he represents delivered unto his prophet.
