like_o before_o yet_o it_o be_v no_o fruit_n of_o god_n hatred_n jacob_n have_v sore_a and_o heavy_a affliction_n yet_o it_o go_v ever_o for_o truth_n 2._o jacob_n have_v i_o love_v he_o love_v he_o

i_o hate_v hold_v it_o then_o that_o god_n do_v love_v we_o and_o when_o we_o have_v this_o persuasion_n in_o we_o all_o the_o devil_n in_o hell_n and_o all_o the_o lust_n in_o original_a sin_n can_v never_o make_v we_o blaspheme_v our_o god_n who_o we_o love_v and_o of_o who_o we_o have_v this_o mind_n that_o he_o do_v love_v we_o say_v then_o he_o love_v i_o and_o i_o love_v he_o &_o then_o one_o can_v be_v bring_v to_o sin_v the_o sin_n of_o blasphemy_n 2._o we_o must_v get_v the_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n repent_v we_o of_o all_o our_o iniquity_n and_o then_o the_o cross_n can_v never_o wring_v from_o we_o word_n of_o blasphemy_n when_o we_o be_v in_o great_a sorrow_n satan_n will_v tempt_v very_o strong_o that_o way_n and_o we_o fear_v what_o we_o shall_v do_v in_o time_n and_o case_n of_o great_a extremity_n i_o fear_v i_o say_v the_o poor_a christian_a what_o i_o shall_v do_v in_o great_a affliction_n repent_v we_o of_o our_o sin_n and_o fear_v nothing_o it_o be_v not_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o cross_n but_o it_o be_v the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n work_v with_o the_o sting_n of_o the_o cross_n which_o make_v man_n in_o their_o tribulation_n to_o blaspheme_v rev._n 16._o 11._o we_o read_v that_o the_o five_o angel_n pour_v down_o his_o viol_n on_o the_o seat_n of_o the_o beast_n and_o it_o be_v write_v that_o they_o gnaw_v with_o their_o tongue_n for_o

their_o pain_n so_o much_o as_o for_o that_o they_o repent_v not_o of_o their_o deed_n that_o they_o blaspheme_v have_v we_o repent_v or_o have_v we_o not_o if_o we_o have_v not_o then_o though_o our_o pain_n be_v not_o so_o much_o we_o be_v in_o danger_n to_o blaspheme_v but_o if_o we_o have_v repent_v be_v our_o pain_n ever_o so_o much_o we_o need_v not_o fear_n we_o shall_v not_o blaspheme_v 3._o say_v the_o worst_a have_v we_o blaspheme_v yet_o we_o must_v repent_v of_o our_o blasphemy_n and_o hope_n in_o god_n to_o despair_v be_v to_o put_v ourselves_o out_o of_o god_n mercy_n and_o protection_n to_o despair_v by_o reason_n of_o blasphemy_n be_v a_o worse_a sin_n than_o blasphemy_n they_o be_v both_o against_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n but_o yet_o despair_n be_v against_o his_o goodness_n his_o mercy_n and_o his_o truth_n i_o confess_v it_o be_v a_o horrible_a crime_n to_o blaspheme_v against_o god_n and_o so_o much_o the_o worse_a because_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n somewhat_o like_o the_o impardonable_a blasphemy_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n neither_o be_v it_o in_o the_o will_n of_o every_o man_n to_o say_v where_o the_o difference_n lie_v betwixt_o they_o 25._o beside_o other_o sin_n be_v against_o god_n in_o his_o greatness_n government_n but_o this_o of_o blasphemy_n do_v speak_v against_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n and_o god_n as_o he_o be_v represent_v to_o we_o stand_v more_o on_o his_o goodness_n than_o his_o greatness_n and_o therefore_o also_o this_o sin_n of_o blaspeme_v have_v be_v ever_o hold_v among_o the_o great_a of_o sin_n all_o which_o must_v teach_v we_o by_o all_o mean_n to_o beware_v of_o this_o sin_n and_o we_o may_v the_o easy_o take_v heed_n of_o it_o and_o save_v ourselves_o from_o it_o because_o it_o be_v against_o our_o natural_a inbred_a principle_n of_o a_o deity_n nature_n itself_o be_v afraid_a of_o this_o sin_n which_o be_v a_o great_a mean_n to_o stay_v we_o from_o the_o sinit_a self_n satan_n i_o know_v be_v a_o great_a blasphemer_n and_o he_o will_v assay_v hard_a to_o it_o to_o make_v we_o to_o blaspheme_v but_o we_o must_v set_v the_o word_n &_o spirit_n of_o god_n against_o it_o and_o let_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n do_v all_o it_o can_v against_o it_o too_o and_o if_o at_o any_o time_n we_o have_v be_v to_o blame_v this_o way_n yet_o we_o must_v know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o pardon_n to_o be_v have_v i_o be_v say_v paul_n a_o blasphemer_n 13._o and_o paul_n be_v in_o heaven_n and_o which_o be_v worse_o he_o compel_v man_n to_o blaspheme_v 11_o yet_o on_o his_o true_a repentance_n all_o go_v well_o with_o paul_n and_o so_o it_o may_v and_o will_v with_o we_o if_o we_o return_v as_o paul_n do_v christ_n have_v it_o mat._n 12._o 31._o that_o blasphemy_n against_o god_n be_v a_o sin_n which_o may_v on_o the_o same_o term_n that_o any_o the_o least_o sin_n that_o be_v shall_v and_o must_v be_v forgive_v i_o mean_v on_o our_o repentance_n there_o be_v a_o blasphemy_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v a_o sin_n unto_o death_n and_o there_o be_v no_o repentance_n for_o this_o sin_n nor_o no_o hope_n the_o cause_n be_v because_o no_o man_n can_v repent_v unto_o life_n except_o god_n give_v he_o the_o grace_n and_o we_o have_v it_o reveal_v that_o there_o be_v a_o decree_n pass_v in_o heaven_n that_o the_o lord_n will_v never_o afford_v this_o sinner_n the_o grace_n to_o repent_v divers_a other_o sinner_n never_o have_v this_o favour_n do_v to_o they_o as_o to_o repent_v but_o all_o sinner_n of_o this_o sort_n be_v past_o all_o hope_n for_o ever_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o this_o blasphemy_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o this_o blasphemy_n against_o god_n and_o christ_n not_o only_o in_o the_o measure_n but_o in_o the_o very_a kind_n i_o know_v satan_n will_v fain_o put_v it_o upon_o we_o that_o we_o have_v sin_v against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n when_o it_o be_v no_o such_o matter_n on_o ignorant_a christian_n he_o lay_v this_o that_o when_o they_o sin_n against_o their_o knowledge_n and_o conscience_n that_o then_o it_o be_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n when_o the_o spirit_n have_v be_v at_o they_o not_o to_o sin_n yet_o they_o sin_n and_o grieve_v and_o vex_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n then_o satan_n make_v his_o advantage_n oh_o say_v he_o this_o be_v to_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n i_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o it_o be_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v false_a i_o prove_v it_o to_o be_v false_a because_o this_o sin_n be_v pardon_v moreover_o we_o speak_v of_o blasphemy_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n now_o that_o every_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n must_v needs_o be_v blasphemy_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n can_v be_v prove_v and_o when_o we_o go_v so_o far_o as_o to_o blaspheme_v god_n than_o we_o make_v a_o cry_n now_o it_o be_v too_o late_o to_o think_v of_o repent_v this_o be_v say_v he_o that_o unrepentable_a and_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n our_o answer_n must_v be_v by_o deny_v this_o to_o be_v that_o sin_n our_o reason_n must_v be_v because_o we_o be_v sorry_a for_o it_o and_o be_v it_o to_o do_v again_o we_o will_v not_o do_v it_o for_o a_o world_n but_o the_o sinner_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v no_o whit_n sorry_a for_o his_o sin_n his_o heart_n never_o ache_v for_o his_o offence_n but_o will_v have_v all_o do_v it_o as_o well_o as_o himself_o and_o be_v desirous_a to_o have_v hell_n as_o full_a as_o he_o can_v and_o he_o do_v even_o wish_v withal_o his_o heart_n that_o wife_n that_o child_n that_o parent_n that_o brethren_n that_o neighbour_n that_o all_o may_v blaspheme_v the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o well_o as_o himself_o it_o be_v then_o nothing_o but_o a_o policy_n of_o satan_n to_o play_v upon_o the_o ignorance_n of_o man_n as_o touch_v the_o nature_n and_o effect_n of_o this_o sin_n and_o to_o bear_v they_o in_o hand_n that_o when_o they_o have_v blaspheme_v god_n they_o have_v blaspheme_v the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o we_o must_v hold_v a_o main_a difference_n to_o lie_v betwixt_o this_o blasphemy_n against_o god_n the_o father_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o as_o the_o person_n differ_v so_o do_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o several_a person_n as_o long_o then_o as_o our_o blasphemy_n be_v against_o the_o first_o and_o not_o against_o the_o three_o we_o may_v be_v safe_a it_o be_v but_o to_o repent_v and_o all_o be_v well_o they_o do_v not_o prize_v the_o infinite_a mercy_n of_o god_n according_a to_o the_o infinite_a worth_n of_o it_o who_o think_v
what_o be_v we_o what_o be_v our_o father_n house_n that_o we_o have_v be_v preserve_v in_o our_o house_n from_o such_o scandalous_a sin_n be_v we_o better_a be_v we_o so_o good_a as_o these_o father_n be_v shall_v god_n sit_v still_o and_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n stand_v still_o and_o look_v on_o and_o let_v our_o original_a sin_n our_o lust_n within_o show_v itself_o the_o next_o will_v be_v sin_n upon_o sin_n against_o scripture_n against_o nature_n no_o bond_n no_o bound_n will_v hold_v we_o worse_o and_o worse_a still_o with_o great_a violence_n we_o shall_v long_o after_o the_o great_a sin_n and_o the_o end_n will_v be_v a_o reprobate_a sense_n from_o the_o which_o good_a lord_n deliver_v we_o the_o sum_n be_v that_o the_o cause_n why_o we_o feel_v not_o such_o proneness_n to_o the_o sin_n against_o nature_n be_v not_o because_o original_a lust_n be_v not_o as_o prone_a in_o itself_o if_o not_o more_o prone_a to_o those_o sin_n as_o to_o other_o but_o because_o there_o be_v by_o god_n for_o necessary_a cause_n a_o law_n of_o nature_n superad_v to_o original_a sin_n in_o all_o mankind_n hold_v we_o off_o from_o such_o unnatural_a passion_n which_o law_n of_o nature_n do_v suffer_v when_o such_o sin_n be_v commit_v infirmatur_fw-la and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n fit_o call_v they_o passion_n as_o water_n suffer_v when_o it_o be_v make_v hot_a and_o therefore_o as_o long_o as_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v not_o suppress_v a_o man_n be_v not_o patient_a about_o such_o lust_n but_o when_o our_o lust_n have_v get_v the_o better_a of_o nature_n law_n then_o to_o what_o sin_n be_v such_o man_n more_o eager_a than_o to_o those_o therefore_o such_o lust_n be_v by_o the_o apostle_n style_v the_o lust_n of_o their_o 24._o own_o heart_n we_o say_v with_o st._n paul_n that_o god_n do_v deliver_v man_n into_o a_o reprobate_a sense_n and_o then_o they_o fall_v into_o such_o lust_n here_o a_o doubt_n may_v arise_v whether_o such_o sin_n be_v do_v only_o by_o those_o who_o be_v reprobate_n since_o one_o will_v think_v that_o this_o reprobate_a sense_n be_v only_o in_o reprobate_n and_o therefore_o so_o name_v this_o be_v i_o confess_v out_o of_o my_o way_n yet_o because_o i_o will_v not_o stumble_v any_o man_n conscience_n i_o be_o bold_a to_o speak_v a_o word_n to_o the_o point_n and_o the_o thing_n i_o affirm_v be_v that_o unnatural_a sin_n be_v do_v sometime_o by_o such_o as_o be_v no_o reprobate_n and_o i_o think_v there_o be_v many_o reprobate_n who_o nein_o all_o their_o life_n commit_v and_o act_v these_o sin_n it_o be_v a_o fearful_a

some_o only_a escape_n there_o be_v no_o sin_n except_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o a_o elect_a person_n may_v commit_v all_o sin_n else_o may_v stand_v with_o the_o grace_n of_o

some_o have_v get_v out_o of_o that_o estate_n and_o other_o may_v it_o be_v then_o call_v a_o reprobate_a mind_n not_o because_o it_o be_v the_o mind_n of_o none_o but_o reprobate_n but_o because_o
