Why then, if the estate of all such as remain in the darkness of error and ignorance, be so accursed, horrible, and fearful, yet for all this, there are none of all those which are in such estate, who are more accursed, then those whom God rejecteth, by reason they have contemned his holy word, and to whom he sendeth his prophets and servants, to do that duty which the Lord committed to Isaiah, when as he said unto him,1 Go thy way, and tell this people, that in hearing they shall not understand, 2and in seeing, they shall not perceive.
