Excerpt: ... observes, Whom He will, He hardeneth. He would not have added this unless, under the expression raised thee up, he had meant to comprehend that purpose of God, by which Pharaoh was ordained to magnify, by his obstinacy, the redemption of God''s people, Israel. For if any one should say, that Pharaoh''s being raised up signified his being raised from above to the summit of kingly honour; that indeed is some part, but not the whole, of the matter. For the LXX. Greek interpreters have here used the same expression as that by which they render the verb Hiphil, derived from the radical Kum to arise. Moreover, God is said to raise up that, which He causes, by an outstretched arm, as it were, to accomplish the end He has ordained. The Scripture here principally looks at the beginning, or first-cause, of that which it is recording; that it may ascribe the whole to God alone. In this same manner, God is also said to raise up prophets, and ministers of salvation; that no man might claim any of these things to himself, on the ground of his own industry. Therefore, the meaning of Moses has been faithfully expressed by the term, raised up, if you will but so receive it; nor did Paul receive it otherwise. And most certainly, the expression raised up comprehends, not less distinctly than summarily, what he had touched upon, both concerning the elect, and the reprobate; since he is claiming for God the right and the power to have mercy on whom He will, and to harden whom He will, according to his own pleasure and purpose. The apostle therefore maintains, that the right of hardening, and of showing mercy, is in the power of God alone; and that no law can be imposed on him as a rule for his works; because no law or rule can be thought of, better, greater...
