A57943	Russel's sermon on the unpardonable sin against the Holy Ghost, or, The sin unto death Wherein is declared, a plain description of it, both negatively what it is not, and also positively what it is; and a plain reason why it is unpardonable. With a word of comfort, and also of counsel, how to avoid it. By R. Russel, in Sussex. Licensed according to order.	Russel, Robert, fl. 1692.	1692 (1692)	Wing R2347L; ESTC R218546	11,034	27

of_o christ_n he_o know_v christ_n to_o be_v his_o lord_n and_o saviour_n he_o be_v one_o of_o christ_n belove_a disciple_n and_o for_o all_o that_o how_o strong_o he_o deny_v christ_n and_o that_o with_o a_o cath_z too_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o christ_n look_v upon_o he_o with_o a_o merciful_a eye_n and_o he_o repent_v and_o be_v forgive_v four_o it_o be_v not_o every_o malicious_a sin_n that_o be_v the_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o st._n paul_n certain_o have_v great_a malice_n in_o his_o heart_n when_o he_o go_v on_o so_o furious_o to_o persecute_v the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o he_o be_v convert_v and_o become_v a_o preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n which_o before_o he_o persecute_v five_o and_o last_o it_o be_v not_o final_a unbelief_n nor_o final_a impenitence_n that_o be_v the_o unpardoable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n though_o some_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o it_o be_v because_o that_o sin_n be_v unpardonable_a and_o christ_n himself_o have_v say_v matth._n chap._n 12._o ver._n 32._o that_o all_o manner_n of_o sin_n and_o blasphemy_n shall_v be_v forgive_v unto_o man_n except_o it_o be_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o you_o be_v to_o take_v the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o their_o true_a sense_n and_o meaning_n it_o be_v all_o manner_n of_o sin_n and_o blasphemy_n commit_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o a_o man_n life_n that_o shall_v be_v forgive_v except_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o final_a impenitency_n and_o final_a unbelief_n be_v not_o complete_v until_o the_o very_a moment_n of_o a_o man_n death_n and_o then_o you_o all_o know_v that_o there_o be_v no_o repentance_n and_o consequent_o no_o pardon_n after_o death_n for_o christ_n say_v he_o that_o sin_v against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v no_o forgiveness_n neither_o in_o this_o world_n nor_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v now_o why_o shall_v christ_n say_v in_o this_o world_n if_o there_o be_v no_o space_n to_o be_v forgive_v in_o this_o world_n but_o a_o man_n may_v commit_v the_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n even_o many_o year_n before_o his_o death_n beside_o there_o be_v many_o thousand_o that_o die_v in_o impenitency_n and_o unbelief_n and_o be_v damn_v and_o yet_o never_o commit_v the_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n thus_o i_o have_v show_v you_o negative_o what_o be_v not_o this_o unpardonable_a sin_n none_o of_o these_o sin_n in_o particular_a be_v that_o sin_n second_o i_o come_v now_o to_o show_v you_o positive_o what_o this_o sin_n unto_o death_n be_v and_o wherein_o this_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v consist_v now_o there_o be_v several_a opinion_n in_o the_o world_n about_o it_o some_o hold_v one_o thing_n some_o another_o but_o i_o have_v not_o time_n nor_o room_n to_o dispute_v concern_v other_o opinion_n about_o it_o but_o i_o will_v endeavour_v through_o god_n help_n to_o lead_v you_o to_o the_o plain_a sight_n of_o it_o by_o the_o light_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n now_o in_o the_o first_o place_n you_o must_v know_v that_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o people_n that_o can_v commit_v this_o unpardonable_a sin_n first_o the_o true_a believer_n can_v commit_v it_o though_o many_o time_n for_o their_o trial_n god_n suffer_v they_o to_o fall_v foul_o into_o many_o grievous_a sin_n yet_o they_o be_v root_v in_o christ_n they_o be_v uphold_v by_o free_a grace_n and_o mercy_n that_o they_o can_v fall_v into_o this_o unpardonable_a sin_n second_o the_o gross_o ignorant_a can_v commit_v it_o because_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n against_o great_a light_n and_o knowledge_n indeed_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v damn_v yet_o among_o that_o great_a part_n there_o be_v but_o few_o of_o they_o that_o can_v commit_v that_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n some_o have_v both_o light_n and_o grace_n these_o shall_v not_o commit_v this_o unpardonable_a sin_n again_o some_o have_v neither_o light_n nor_o grace_n these_o can_v commit_v it_o but_o there_o be_v some_o again_o that_o have_v light_a and_o no_o grace_n these_o be_v they_o that_o be_v liable_a to_o commit_v the_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n now_o there_o must_v be_v two_o ingredient_n to_o make_v up_o this_o unpardonable_a sin_n that_o be_v light_n in_o the_o head_n and_o malice_n in_o the_o heart_n without_o these_o two_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n can_v be_v commit_v for_o to_o sin_n against_o great_a light_n and_o knowledge_n be_v not_o that_o sin_n alone_o nor_o yet_o to_o sin_n ignorant_o out_o of_o that_o malice_n be_v not_o that_o sin_n but_o they_o must_v join_v both_o together_o to_o make_v up_o this_o unpardonable_a sin_n this_o we_o see_v plain_a by_o the_o example_n of_o st._n peter_n and_o st._n paul_n peter_n he_o deny_v christ_n and_o forswear_v himself_o too_o and_o that_o grievous_o against_o great_a light_n and_o knowledge_n for_o he_o know_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n and_o he_o know_v god_n in_o he_o he_o be_v one_o of_o christ_n disciple_n and_o one_o of_o his_o belove_a disciple_n too_o he_o be_v teach_v of_o christ_n and_o have_v experimental_a knowledge_n of_o his_o love_n and_o favour_n and_o yet_o he_o wicked_o with_o a_o oath_n deny_v he_o now_o if_o peter_n have_v do_v this_o out_o of_o malice_n and_o spite_n than_o he_o have_v commit_v that_o sin_n unto_o death_n for_o which_o there_o be_v no_o forgiveness_n but_o peter_n have_v no_o malice_n in_o his_o heart_n all_o this_o while_n even_o at_o that_o time_n when_o he_o deny_v christ_n as_o you_o may_v see_v matth._n 29._o when_o christ_n tell_v he_o before_o the_o cock_n crow_n thou_o shall_v deny_v i_o thrice_o he_o answer_v if_o i_o shall_v die_v with_o thou_o i_o will_v not_o deny_v thou_o and_o then_o deny_v he_o through_o infirmity_n and_o weakness_n of_o the_o flesh_n when_o he_o have_v consider_v what_o he_o have_v do_v he_o go_v out_o and_o weep_v bitter_o ver_fw-la 75._o and_o paul_n he_o have_v great_a malice_n and_o spite_n against_o the_o way_n and_o people_n of_o god_n as_o you_o may_v see_v act_v 9.1_o paul_n breathe_v out_o threaten_n and_o slaughter_n against_o the_o disciple_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o desire_v of_o they_o letter_n to_o damascus_n to_o the_o synagogue_n that_o if_o he_o find_v any_o of_o this_o way_n whether_o man_n or_o woman_n that_o he_o shall_v bring_v they_o bind_v to_o jerusalem_n now_o here_o be_v great_a rage_n and_o malice_n in_o saul_n against_o the_o way_n and_o people_n of_o god_n but_o do_v it_o ignorant_o he_o at_o last_o hear_v of_o a_o voice_n say_v saul_n saul_n why_o persecute_v thou_o i_o and_o receive_n of_o a_o light_n from_o heaven_n that_o it_o be_v jesus_n that_o he_o persecute_v he_o be_v prick_v at_o the_o heart_n and_o tremble_v and_o astonish_v say_v lord_n what_o will_v thou_o have_v i_o to_o do_v now_o by_o these_o two_o place_n of_o scripture_n you_o may_v plain_o see_v that_o peter_n sin_v against_o great_a light_n and_o paul_n out_o of_o great_a malice_n yet_o none_o of_o they_o both_o commit_v the_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o whensoever_o light_n and_o malice_n meet_v together_o in_o one_o man_n than_o there_o be_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n now_o as_o all_o other_o sin_n so_o this_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n may_v be_v commit_v in_o thought_n word_n or_o action_n first_o in_o thought_n that_o be_v when_o a_o wicked_a man_n against_o his_o clear_a light_n and_o knowledge_n do_v but_o conceive_v a_o malicious_a thought_n or_o purpose_n towards_o persecute_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n or_o of_o the_o saint_n of_o christ_n to_o hinder_v the_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o they_o this_o sin_n be_v to_o be_v think_v be_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o lose_a angel_n for_o which_o cause_n they_o be_v lose_v without_o all_o hope_n of_o pardon_n now_o some_o dispute_n whether_o their_o sin_n be_v a_o sin_n of_o the_o thought_n but_o i_o say_v with_o all_o likelihood_n it_o be_v for_o the_o angel_n be_v only_o spirit_n without_o body_n and_o so_o have_v no_o use_n of_o bodily_a tongue_n it_o can_v not_o be_v commit_v in_o word_n nor_o yet_o can_v they_o commit_v it_o in_o action_n because_o they_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o heaven_n before_o they_o can_v bring_v it_o into_o practice_n therefore_o it_o must_v be_v a_o sin_n of_o the_o thought_n now_o their_o sin_n be_v this_o their_o habitation_n be_v in_o the_o high_a heaven_n next_o under_o god_n himself_o they_o have_v exceed_o great_a light_n and_o knowledge_n they_o have_v more_o knowledge_n than_o all_o the_o
