1. In opposing Good. 2. In pursuing Evil.
1. In opposing Good. Several ways. 11. They offer violence to the Spirit of God. The Spirit knocks at the door of sinners hearts; he waits till his head be filled with dew, and his locks with the drops of the night; but sinners repulse and grieve the Spirit, and send away this Dove from the A•k of their souls, Acts 7. 51. Te do always resist the Holy Ghost. The Spirit offers grace to the sinner, and the sinner offers violence to the Spirit, Isa 63. 10. They rebelled and vexed his holy Spirit; and may not the Lord give over striving? God who is willing to come in when we open to him, hath not promised to come again if we unkindly repulse him.
