Paragraph 5.6
Of the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith
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 his1 Grace, whereby they might have been enlightened in their understanding, and wrought upon in their Hearts; but sometimes also withdraws2 the Gifts which they had, and exposes them to such3 Objects as their Corruptions makes occasion of Sin; and withal,4 gives them over to their own Lusts, the temptations of the World, and the power of Satan, whereby it comes to pass, that they5 harden themselves, even under those means which God uses for the softening of others.6
The Westminster Confession of Faith (1646)
5.6
As for those wicked and ungodly men whom God, as a righteous judge, for former sins does blind and harden,1 from them he not only withholds his grace, whereby they might have been enlightened in their understandings, and wrought upon in their hearts;2 but, sometimes also withdraws the gifts which they had,3 and exposes them to such objects as their corruption makes occasions of sin;4 and withal, gives them over to their own lusts, the temptations of the world, and the power of Satan:5 whereby it comes to pass that they harden themselves, even under those means, which God uses for the softening of others.6
