Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Hedge up - I will compass thee in with wars, and calamities, that tho' thou love thy sinful courses, thou shalt have little pleasure in them. Make a wall - Yea, I will make the calamities of this people as a strong wall, which they cannot break.

Now, (1.) This is such a just judgment as the Sodomites met with, that were struck with blindness, and wearied themselves to find the door ( Gen. xix. 11 ), and the Syrians, 2 Kings vi. Note, Those that are most resolute in their sinful pursuits are commonly most crossed in them.
