Here have you now, how God works all things, in all men both good and bad. But now let us go to the induration of them, that be evil. Thus is it. First, they be evil by nature, and can abide nothing that is good, nor yet suffer any good to be done. Wherefore when God the author of goodness, doth any thing, or saith any thing unto them, then are they more, and more, sorer, and sorer contrary unto God, and to all his works, for of their nature they are so corrupted, and can not agree to the will of God, nor to any thing that ⟨p. 282⟩is good, but when it is offered them either in word, or deed, then blaspheme they, then withstand they with all their might, with all their power, then are they provoked of their corrupted nature to more mischief, and more, and always harder and harder: As for 1an example, when the blessed word of God is preached unto them, that be wicked, to whom God hath given no grace to receive it, then are they nothing amended, but more indurated, and always harder and harder. And the more yt word of God is preached, the more obstinate are they, and the more mischief intend they.
