many_o vain_a wanton_a man_n when_o they_o be_v go_v on_o in_o sin_n be_v drunken_a and_o bewitch_v with_o the_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n and_o mad_a in_o their_o damnable_a course_n will_v promise_v

have_v unspeakable_a joy_n now_o after_o he_o have_v wonder_v at_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o verse_n he_o set_v down_o a_o cause_n not_o so_o much_o wherefore_o god_n give_v he_o mercy_n as_o that_o god_n be_v so_o ready_a to_o give_v he_o mercy_n he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v a_o ignorant_a and_o that_o he_o prove_v because_o he_o want_v faith_n his_o ignorance_n deserve_v no_o mercy_n but_o rather_o make_v he_o culpable_a and_o guilty_a for_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o allow_v such_o a_o excuse_n in_o that_o great_a day_n but_o ignorance_n make_v the_o sin_n the_o less_o the_o sin_n that_o proceed_v from_o ignorance_n be_v not_o so_o great_a as_o the_o sin_n that_o proceed_v from_o knowledge_n for_o the_o servant_n who_o know_v not_o the_o master_n will_v and_o

47._o 48._o but_o for_o the_o better_a clear_n of_o this_o point_n we_o must_v understand_v that_o paul_n mean_v not_o that_o every_o sin_n which_o be_v commit_v willing_o and_o witting_o man_n know_v well_o enough_o that_o they_o be_v sin_v shall_v not_o be_v forgive_v for_o in_o what_o case_n shall_v we_o all_o be_v into_o then_o do_v we_o not_o all_o many_o a_o time_n sin_n witting_o and_o willing_o do_v not_o our_o conscience_n challenge_v we_o in_o the_o very_a act_n will_v we_o not_o do_v wrong_a to_o our_o neighbour_n in_o his_o person_n or_o in_o his_o good_n or_o in_o his_o name_n and_o account_v yes_o no_o question_n and_o we_o can_v justify_v ourselves_o in_o our_o do_n if_o therefore_o they_o who_o offend_v god_n even_o with_o open_a eye_n be_v condemn_v without_o hope_n of_o mercy_n alas_o in_o what_o case_n will_v we_o be_v into_o he_o mean_v not_o then_o of_o all_o sin_n in_o general_a he_o mean_v not_o of_o the_o sin_n commit_v against_o the_o second_o table_n against_o our_o neighbour_n but_o by_o join_v ignorance_n and_o misbelief_n together_o he_o show_v that_o he_o mean_v of_o the_o resist_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n which_o be_v a_o far_o great_a sin_n than_o theft_n hooredome_n or_o backebiting_a for_o they_o who_o resist_v the_o truth_n do_v as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v to_o pluck_v god_n out_o of_o his_o seat_n and_o to_o put_v out_o the_o remembrance_n of_o his_o glorious_a majesty_n that_o he_o reign_v no_o more_o and_o they_o say_v in_o effect_n let_v i_o alone_o with_o god_n &_o i_o shall_v handle_v he_o well_o enough_o i_o shall_v bring_v he_o to_o nought_o he_o shall_v not_o reign_v i_o shall_v fight_v against_o he_o therefore_o paul_n speak_v of_o such_o a_o accurse_a sin_n say_v not_o without_o cause_n i_o do_v it_o of_o ignorance_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v it_o be_v true_a to_o blaspheme_v god_n name_n and_o to_o tread_v god_n word_n under_o foot_n and_o to_o persecute_v the_o saint_n of_o god_n be_v a_o sin_n that_o surmount_v and_o surpass_v all_o sin_n and_o i_o be_o culpable_a of_o this_o sin_n but_o what_o i_o do_v it_o not_o witting_o for_o i_o think_v i_o serve_v god_n when_o i_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o the_o gospel_n because_o i_o â—anted_v faith_n indeed_o paul_n be_v a_o learned_a man_n and_o bring_v up_o in_o all_o good_a literature_n as_o we_o read_v in_o the_o 3._o chap._n to_o the_o philipp_n as_o for_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o pharisee_n he_o surpass_v the_o rest_n galat._n 1._o 14._o yet_o for_o all_o this_o he_o say_v he_o be_v ignorant_a because_o he_o want_v the_o knowledge_n of_o christ._n suppose_v thou_o know_v all_o the_o world_n and_o yet_o if_o thou_o know_v not_o jesus_n christ_n thou_o know_v nothing_o and_o though_o thou_o know_v all_o the_o law_n in_o the_o world_n all_o humanity_n all_o philosophy_n yet_o if_o thou_o know_v not_o christ_n thou_o know_v nothing_o now_o bless_v be_v that_o soul_n that_o know_v christ_n albeit_o he_o know_v no_o more_o for_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o he_o stand_v life_n everlasting_a mark_v again_o he_o say_v because_o he_o be_v ignorant_a therefore_o he_o be_v a_o blasphemer_n and_o persecuter_n ignorance_n be_v a_o dangerous_a thing_n they_o who_o be_v ignorant_a of_o christ_n they_o who_o have_v not_o faith_n in_o he_o they_o who_o know_v not_o what_o a_o
