1. There cannot be a knocking without but there must be hearing within, Cant. 5. 1. for the Lords knocking internal, whether at first or renewed conversion, hath something peculiar, ⟨image 11⟩as hearing and learning of the Father, John 5. 45. hath something of which a natural man is not capable, and so hath instructing with a strong hand, Isa. 8. 11. If Christ had spoken to the graves and corps near to Lazarus corps, Come forth, as he speaks indefinitely to all in the Gospel, Come to me, believe in Christ; and rebuke such as will not come, John 5. 40. yet all should not be raised out of the grave, as Lazarus.
