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