A57945	The sin against the Holy Ghost: or, The sin unto death briefly discours'd of I. Proving what this sin is. And, II. That all other sins, how great and heinous soever, may be forgiven unto men; but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall never be forgiven, neither in this world, nor in the world to come. To which is added, some instructions how a man may walk and not commit this unpardonable sin. By Mr. Robert Russel.	Russel, Robert, fl. 1692.	1700 (1700)	Wing R2348C; ESTC R220884	7,334	18

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 the_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 the_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 again_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_a 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_v 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 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 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 &_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 his_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 mat._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 consider_v what_o he_o have_v do_v he_o go_v out_o and_o weep_v bitter_o v._o 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_n 9.1_o now_o here_o be_v a_o 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 a_o voice_n say_v saul_n saul_n why_o persecute_v thou_o i_o and_o receive_v 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_a 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 again_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 a_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 1._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 dispure_v 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 man_n in_o the_o world_n ever_o have_v and_o be_v happy_a above_o all_o other_o creature_n but_o when_o not_o be_v content_v with_o this_o estate_n they_o think_v to_o be_v as_o high_a as_o god_n himself_o therefore_o malicious_o seek_v to_o make_v war_n against_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o put_v he_o out_o of_o his_o throne_n for_o which_o cause_n they_o be_v immediate_o thrust_v out_o of_o heaven_n never_o more_o to_o see_v the_o face_n of_o mercy_n thus_o their_o sin_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n they_o be_v exclude_v all_o hope_n of_o pardon_n 2._o this_o may_v be_v commit_v in_o word_n too_o that_o be_v when_o a_o man_n speak_v blasphemous_o and_o malicious_o of_o christ_n and_o his_o holy_a way_n this_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o parisee_n mark_n 3.22_o therefore_o say_v christ_n unto_o they_o ver._n 28.29_o now_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o speech_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n be_v show_v in_o verse_n 22._o because_o they_o say_v he_o have_v a_o unclean_a spirit_n which_o plain_o show_v that_o these_o scribe_n have_v speak_v blasphemy_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n these_o scribe_n be_v great_a learned_a man_n and_o they_o can_v know_v no_o other_o but_o that_o christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o they_o know_v that_o he_o cast_v out_o devil_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o but_o of_o spite_n to_o christ_n malicious_o and_o blasphemous_o say_v that_o he_o cast_v ut_fw-mi devil_n by_o belzebub_n the_o chief_a of_o devil_n thus_o these_o scribe_n commit_v the_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o that_o in_o a_o word_n 3._o this_o sin_n may_v be_v commit_v in_o action_n too_o that_o be_v when_o a_o man_n be_v once_o thorough_o enlighten_v and_o enter_v upon_o a_o holy_a course_n of_o life_n and_o taste_v the_o comfort_n of_o god_n spirit_n and_o have_v some_o forettaste_n of_o the_o joy_n of_o heaven_n and_o not_o only_o make_v profession_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o teach_v it_o to_o other_o he_o at_o last_o take_v a_o dislike_n of_o these_o holy_a course_n and_o through_o spite_n and_o malice_n utter_o forsake_v oppose_v and_o persecute_v those_o good_a way_n of_o god_n which_o he_o before_o profess_v and_o teach_v but_o to_o sum_v up_o this_o point_n this_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v full_o describe_v by_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n chap_n 10.29.27.28_o likewise_o heb._n 6.4.5_o 6._o now_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v brief_o this_o it_o be_v a_o wilful_a and_o malicious_a oppose_v of_o the_o know_a truth_n 1._o this_o sin_n unto_o death_n be_v a_o oppose_a sin_n now_o to_o oppose_v a_o thing_n be_v to_o contradict_v it_o or_o gain_v say_v when_o a_o man_n say_v so_o and_o so_o deny_v it_o and_o say_v it_o be_v not_o so_o when_o a_o man_n say_v a_o thing_n must_v be_v do_v he_o say_v again_o it_o must_v not_o nor_o shall_v not_o be_v do_v but_o a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o oppose_a man_n and_o yet_o can_v commit_v this_o sin_n therefore_o 2._o it_o be_v the_o truth_n that_o we_o must_v oppose_v that_o be_v we_o must_v utter_o oppose_v and_o reject_v christ_n who_o say_v i_o be_o the_o truth_n john_n 14.6_o he_o oppose_v all_o his_o threaten_n and_o will_v not_o believe_v his_o promise_n and_o count_v he_o to_o be_v a_o seducer_n of_o the_o people_n and_o count_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o covenant_n to_o be_v a_o unholy_a thing_n nay_o he_o also_o oppose_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n so_o that_o he_o will_v not_o obey_v his_o motion_n and_o will_v not_o be_v lead_v nor_o guide_v by_o he_o but_o a_o man_n may_v oppose_v the_o truth_n and_o yet_o do_v it_o ignorant_o therefore_o 3._o it_o must_v be_v the_o know_a truth_n thatheoppose_v he_o must_v be_v once_o enlighten_v but_o you_o must_v know_v that_o it_o
