And Paul writeth Rom. 1. that the heathen, because when they knew god, they had no lust to honour him with godly living, therefore God poured his wrath upon them, and took his spirit from them, and gave them up to their hearts lusts to serve sin, from iniquity to iniquity, till they were thoroughly hardened, and past repentance.

And Pharaoh because when the word of God was in his country, & Gods people scattered throughout all his land, & yet he neither loved them, nor it, therefore God gave him up, and in taking his spirit of grace from him, so hardened his hart with covetousness, that afterward no miracle could convert him.

Hereunto pertaineth yt parable of the talents. Mat. 25. The Lord commaū death 1the talent to be taken away from the evil and slothful servant, and to bind him hand and foot, and to cast him into utter darkness, and to give the talent unto him that had ten, saying: to all that have, more shall be given: but from him that hath not, that he hath, shall be taken from him. That is to say, he that hath a good heart toward the word of god, and to garnish it with godly living, and to testify it to other, the same shall increase daily more and more in the grace of Christ. But he that loveth it not, to live thereafter, and to edify other, the same shall loose the grace of true knowledge, & be blinded again, and every day wax worse and worse, and blinder and blinder, till he be an utter enemy of the word of God, and his hart so hardened, that it shall be impossible to convert him.
