The Wilfulness of the Impenitent
Ezekiel 3:7
But the house of Israel will not listen to you; for they will not listen to me…


"A man's will is his hell," saith Bernard. "And it is easier," saith another. "to deal with twenty men's reasons than with one man's will." What hope is there of those that will not fear; or if they do, yet have made their conclusion afore-hand, and will stir no more than a stake in the midst of a stream?

(J. Trapp.)
