christ_n and_o albeit_o some_o have_v think_v that_o those_o place_n of_o scriptue_n in_o the_o sixth_o and_o ten_o to_o the_o hebrew_n have_v point_v at_o this_o sin_n of_o grieve_v of_o god_n

in_o conscience_n but_o to_o flatter_v none_o in_o their_o sin_n that_o to_o grieve_v the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n or_o sometime_o by_o sin_v to_o quench_v as_o it_o be_v the_o good_a gift_n and_o

measure_n sanctify_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n this_o i_o say_v be_v the_o sin_n many_o time_n of_o god_n child_n against_o which_o sin_n as_o against_o all_o sin_n they_o do_v much_o labour_n and_o strive_v and_o daily_o yea_o almost_o hourly_o they_o do_v repent_v for_o the_o same_o to_o resist_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v the_o second_o pont_n i_o have_v propose_v to_o speak_v off_o be_v the_o proper_a sin_n of_o such_o as_o be_v not_o yet_o effectual_o call_v nor_o sanctify_v but_o may_v be_v in_o time_n if_o god_n give_v they_o grace_n to_o repent_v and_o believe_v the_o gospel_n but_o to_o blaspheme_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o high_a degree_n which_o be_v call_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v only_o that_o sin_n which_o can_v be_v renew_v by_o repentance_n and_o so_o much_o for_o grieve_v of_o god_n spirit_n in_o ourselves_o and_o of_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o grieve_v resist_a and_o blaspheme_v of_o god_n spirit_n now_o there_o be_v moreover_o spirit_n a_o second_o sort_n of_o greiver_n of_o god_n spirit_n another_o sort_n of_o griever_n of_o god_n spirit_n but_o not_o in_o themselves_o but_o in_o

as_o david_n complain_v of_o when_o he_o say_v my_o eye_n gush_v out_o with_o tear_n because_o man_n keep_v not_o god_n law_n such_o griever_n of_o god_n spirit_n in_o other_o we_o have_v but_o too_o too_o many_o in_o our_o day_n and_o this_o age_n be_v full_a of_o such_o ungodly_a person_n which_o take_v pleasure_n to_o mock_v and_o scoff_n at_o all_o virtuous_a and_o godly_a exercise_n in_o

in_o other_o do_v resist_v the_o same_o spirit_n of_o god_n against_o themselves_o we_o will_v here_o conclude_v our_o first_o propose_v part_n of_o grieve_v of_o god_n spirit_n and_o so_o come_v to_o the_o next_o to_o show_v what_o it_o be_v and_o who_o they_o be_v that_o do_v resist_v the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n observe_v this_o not_o by_o the_o way_n that_o god_n spirit_n be_v call_v the_o

the_o second_o part_n of_o this_o sermon_n of_o resist_v of_o god_n spirit_n be_v on_o the_o one_o side_n to_o despise_v or_o to_o make_v little_a account_n of_o the_o good_a gift_n and_o grace_n of_o

thereof_o these_o be_v great_a sin_n and_o to_o be_v repent_v off_o above_o many_o other_o sin_n because_o they_o manifest_o fight_v against_o the_o first_o table_n of_o god_n law_n and_o against_o
