12. So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust. No punishment is more just or more severe than this. If men will not be
checked, but madly take the bit between their teeth and refuse obedience, who
shall wonder if the reins are thrown upon their necks, and they are let alone
to work out their own destruction? And they walked in their own counsels.
There was no doubt as to what course they would take, for man is everywhere
willfull and loves his own way—that way being at all times in direct opposition
to God’s way. People deserted by restraining grace sin with deliberation; they
consult, and debate, and consider, and then elect evil rather than good, with
malice aforethought and in cool blood.
