He that receiueth and alloweth the holy Scripture, can in no sort denie it: namely, that nothing can be done, but which he de∣creeth. For Exod. 4.21. & 7.3.9.12. & 10.1. God speaketh thus. I will harden the heart of Pharaoh, that he shall not let my people go. Deut. 2.30. The Lord hardened the spirit of Sehon King of Hesbon, and made his heart obstinate. And Paule saith thus, Rom. 9.18. God hardeneth whom he will. An example hereof is in Semei. 2. Sam. 16.10. To whom God spoke that he should re∣uile Dauid,* 1.1 not by commaunding that he should obey (saith Augustine) but in his iust iudgement enclining and disposing his will in it selfe wicked, and his euill minde, by such punishment to exercise Dauid. So the Medes and Persians are termed to be sanctified of God, and instrumentes of Gods wrath. The King of the Assyrians is said to be in the hand of God as a rod, a staffe, a hatchet, and a saw. Isa. 13.3. & 5.3.5. & 10.5.15. Yet doth he also set limits to their malyce: that they extende not their crueltie further then him pleaseth, yea he turneth euen the wicked things which the vngodly doe, to verie good endes, seruing for his glorie and the saluation of the elect.
