We read it Three Times noted concerning Pharaoh, That he Hardened his own Heart: But then it follows no less than Seven Times upon it, That the Lord Hardened the Heart of Pharaoh. Ah, miserable Unregenerates; The Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ, with His Righteousness, is Tendered unto your Acceptance, even that Spirit whose office 'tis, to Preserve your whole Spirit, and Soul, and Body, Blameless unto His Coming. If you Harden your own Hearts, against the calls of the Gospel, to Accept of this Grace, 'twill come to This, that the Lord will Harden your Hearts. And, when the Lord shall Harden your Hearts, alas, you'll be giv•• over to Sin, and Wrath unto the uttermost. We read of Some in 2 Thes. 2 10, 11. Because they Received not the Love of the Truth, that they might be Saved; For this cause, God shall send them Strong Delusion. Sinners, if you don't Receive the Grace of the Lord Jesus ⟨p. 33⟩Christ, propounded in the Truth of the Gospel, For this cause God will send you strong Confusion, and lay you under Strong Fetters of Sin, your Bonds will be made Strong forever! The Lord Jesus Christ from Heaven, makes a wondrous Offer of His Grace unto us. — But before I do Articulate, that Gracious and Wondrous offer, there is one Solemn Advice that must be given you. Tis This; The Devils of Hell, doubtless observe who Consents to the Motions of Heaven; and where they observe an Heart that Consents not, They, They! lay a claim to that woeful Heart. Since that Heart, won't have a Christ, and the Spirit of Christ, Say those wretched Devourers, Let us enter into that Heart, and have it, and hold it for ever. The Formidable wrath of God, says, It shall be so! And then, Oh! what Sins, what Sins, are the poor Sinners left unto! After this awful Admonition, I am now to propound unto you, the offer of the Lord Jesus Christ! an offer, which I would preface with the All-Summoning Words of Micajah, Hearken O all ye people every one of you. Ti's This; Perishing Soul! Shall I Reconcile thee to God, and Furnish thee with Everlasting Righteousness? And shall my Holy Spirit now take Possession of thee, and Subdue Iniquity in thee &, preserve thee from Iniquity, and Guide thee by Counsel, and Bring thee to Glory? Consent miserable Soul, Consent! and thou shalt be Saved from all thy miseries. And now, Take the Warning ⟨p. 34⟩of God?
