First, For a man to be suffered to prosper in a sinful course; For God to let men go on and have their hearts desire satisfied in an ungodly way.
And then Secondly, For the Lord to leave them to themselves, so as the Ministry of the Word shall not work upon them, that they shall be by Gods providence so disposed of, as to live under a faithful and powerful Ministry, and that it should not work upon them: These are the two blacke• signs of Reprobation; and therefore it is a most dreadful thing to sit under the Ministry of the Word and not to sanctify Gods Name in it.

6 In the next place, Surely there can be nothing Sanctified to thee who doest not Sanctify Gods Name in His Word. The Scripture saith, That every thing is Sanctified by the Word and Prayer. And how canst thou expect that the Word should sanctify any thing unto thee, seeing that thou dost not make conscience of Sanctifying Gods Name in the word? The godly think thus, 'Tis the Word that must Sanctify all things to my Soul, and I had need then Sanctify Gods Name in that from which I expect the sanctified use of all blessings. You therefore that can fit under it, and make not conscience of Sanctifying Gods Name in it, I say you cannot expect no sanctified use of any thing that you have in this world.
