Again further, When God shall say, Let him alone; his Reas. 11 condition is dreadful in this,1 that now all the means of grace are made unprofitable to him, yea cursed to him, and they are turned to the quite contrary end; For the word will work one way or other, either to be the savour of life unto life or of death unto death; and so the Sacrament, either to be the seal of Salvation or the Seal of damnation. Now all means are not only unprofitable, those means that do other souls good; It may be the poor child of a wicked parent comes unto the word, and there he finds God revealing himself unto him; and the Spirit of God drawing his heart unto himself; but there is his parent of whom God hath said, Let him alone, he sits under the means and gets no good: So perhaps the Master, he is one upon whom this judgment is past, Let him alone, he sits under the means and gets nothing, and his poor servant he comes and his soul is enlightened, his heart is enlarged because this judgment is not upon him.
