No meltings of spirit, no yieldings, but their hearts are hardened, and they depart further and further from God (for so he speaks of Israel as an apostatizing people.) I dare almost challenge you all; when did you ever know a notorious Apostate §1turn unto God? very rarely: (I will not say it is impossible) §2but especially for Apostates that are men of parts §3and have gone far from God, if they have but proceeded so far as to turn to be persecutors of the truth, or contemners of it, (as these Israelites here were) when did you ever know any of them to turn unto God. They will not frame their doings.
