have_v more_o speak_v of_o he_o then_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o have_v but_o one_o nature_n the_o doctrine_n concern_v the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v in_o all_o age_n be_v most_o obscure_a so_o

present_a time_n the_o greek_a church_n a_o church_n of_o great_a extent_n differ_v thus_o from_o we_o that_o where_o we_o believe_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n that_o church_n believe_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n by_o the_o son_n a_o nice_a difference_n in_o so_o incomprehensible_a a_o mystery_n that_o there_o seem_v no_o just_a cause_n to_o lay_v such_o anathemaes_n as_o some_o do_v upon_o that_o church_n for_o so_o believe_v if_o we_o shall_v believe_v in_o the_o father_n and_o in_o the_o son_n and_o not_o believe_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n this_o belief_n will_v never_o be_v sanctify_v see_v the_o holy_a ghost_n only_o be_v the_o sanctifier_n and_o sanctify_v none_o that_o believe_v not_o in_o he_o and_o the_o belief_n not_o be_v sanctify_v will_v never_o be_v acceptable_a to_o the_o father_n himself_o notwithstanding_o our_o belief_n in_o he_o and_o this_o perhaps_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o offer_n of_o cain_n be_v not_o accept_v because_o though_o a_o sacrifice_n yet_o it_o want_v a_o devotion_n sanctify_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n there_o be_v a_o sin_n which_o be_v proper_o call_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o for_o they_o that_o commit_v this_o sin_n we_o be_v forbid_v to_o pray_v a_o grievous_a sin_n no_o doubt_n which_o stop_v the_o current_n of_o charity_n who_o nature_n be_v wont_a to_o overflow_v all_o bank_n but_o what_o the_o sin_n be_v and_o by_o what_o mark_n it_o may_v certain_o be_v know_v though_o a_o question_v much_o agitate_a be_v not_o yet_o so_o full_o explicate_v but_o that_o it_o leave_v scruple_n but_o whatsoever_o it_o be_v or_o may_v be_v we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o the_o not-beleeving_a in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v one_o principal_a ingredient_n in_o it_o or_o rather_o where_o a_o true_a believe_a in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v this_o sin_n proper_o can_v never_o be_v commit_v and_o therefore_o in_o make_v profession_n of_o our_o faith_n there_o be_v none_o of_o all_o the_o article_n in_o the_o whole_a creed_n that_o seem_v more_o necessary_a to_o be_v say_v then_o this_o for_o by_o say_v this_o article_n we_o make_v it_o appear_v there_o can_v be_v no_o danger_n in_o pray_v for_o we_o as_o not_o be_v likely_a to_o commit_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o believe_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o why_o be_v it_o that_o sin_n commit_v against_o the_o father_n or_o the_o son_n shall_v be_v forgive_v but_o a_o sin_n commit_v against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v never_o be_v forgive_v neither_o in_o this_o world_n nor_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v be_v it_o not_o that_o if_o a_o sin_n be_v commit_v against_o the_o father_n or_o the_o son_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v the_o sanctifier_n can_v sanctify_v that_o sin_n and_o make_v it_o pardonable_a but_o if_o a_o sin_n be_v commit_v against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n there_o be_v none_o to_o

against_o thou_o when_o we_o read_v the_o order_n of_o the_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n the_o father_n place_v first_o the_o son_n second_o the_o holy_a ghost_n last_o we_o must_v not_o conceive_v

for_o just_a cause_n for_o it_o be_v not_o fit_v the_o father_n shall_v be_v incarnate_a because_o the_o incarnation_n be_v to_o pacify_v the_o father_n nor_o be_v it_o not_o fit_v the_o holy_a

that_o be_v the_o son_n in_o the_o trinity_n he_o shall_v also_o be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o woman_n so_o to_o make_v we_o the_o son_n of_o god_n without_o remove_v out_o of_o his_o sphere_n of_o
