6. As for those wicked and ungodly Men, whom God, as a righteous Judge, for former Sin does blind and harden; from them he not only withholds hisa Grace, whereby they might have been enlightened in their understanding, and wrought upon in their Hearts; but sometimes also withdrawsb the Gifts which they had, and exposes them to suchc Objects as their Corruptions makes occasion of Sin; and withal,d gives them over to their own Lusts, the temptations of the World, and the power of Satan, whereby it comes to pass, that theye harden themselves, even under those means which God uses for the softening of others.f
