Instr. 3. Scions Malady is not curable with Calamity, Isai. 48. 10. would not one think a furnace should cu•e the outcast? they are so good, that they are called the good […], and yet so bad, as that seventy years captivity would not make them good enough ⟨p. 6⟩for the end. Those that were seventy years in the furnace do cry out, Lord, why hast thou hardened our hearts from thy fear? Isai, 63. 17. you that think you have a new man, do not forget that you have within you also an old man, and calamity will not remove it. The hard-heartedness of good people is very strange.

Meribah, Meribah! this, this lieth at the hearts of such, the inseparable, the insuperable, invincible non-subjection of Israel to the ways of God, this is not curable with calamity.
