Whoever does this, makes a part of thatcriminal city. This Jerusalem would not have herchildren gathered together; but, notwithstandingthis,thoseof her children whom he has chosen to salvation.our blessed Saviour gathers under his wings allIn the mother, he shows how far a depravedwill can go in resisting the Holy Spirit ;in the children,he shows the power which his grace has overthe will, in subjecting it freely to itself.
