to handle knowing this that if he keepe him to his matter he cannot be taedious though he may be long Certainely his observation is good and worthie to be remembred not onely of a Writer but also of an Oratour of an Auditor Of an Oratour least he abuse his Auditory Of an Auditor least his censure seeme rather to proceed from the rashnesse of a Caviller then from the judgement of an vnderstanding hearer Wherefore as in the handling of the former Part raised all my matter from the definition praefixed and reduced the words of the definition to certaine heads that so still I might reade my Title and you might see what I was in doing So here in this second Part that both you and I may still finde our selues this shall bee the Title that wee must often reade viz. The assumption of the former Sillogisme For I hope that in prooving this our sinne to be irremissible I shall draw each one to conclude with me That it is mortall The irremissibilitie stands then to bee confirmed by the rule of Faith which is Scripture by the guide of action which is reason For Scripture let vs first scanne that which the Evangelists haue set downe Mathew sayth It shall not be forgiuen neither in this world nor in the world to come Neither in this world in soro conscientiae in the Court of conscience God speaking peace to our consciences Nor in the world to come in soro iudicij in the last judgement Neither in this world per solutionem ministerij by the ministery of the word loosing vpon earth Nor in the world to come per approbationem Christi by the approbation of Christ loosing that in heauen which was loosed vpon earth by the ministery The which phrase of Mathew is expounded by Marke Non in aeternum it shall never be forgiuen in the same sense that Peter sayth Non in aeternum lavabis id est nunquam Thou shalt never wash my feete Or else to mend the example because Bell●rmine doth carpe at that of Peter in the same sence in which Christ vseth the phrase to the woman of Sam●ria Iohn 4. speaking of the water that hee would haue given her 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 He shall never thirst id est neither in this world nor in the world to come that so the similitude may to satisfie Bellarmine runne on foure feete and agree in terminis And marke I pray you the concordance of the three Evangelistes Luke sayth plainely Non remittetur It shall not be forgiuen Marke sayth Non in aeternum neuer forgiuen Mathew Neque in hoc seculo c. Neither in this world nor in the world to come So that whether we begin with Mathew and expound him by Marke and Marke by Luke or vice versa begin with Luke and encrease his negatiue by Marke and amplifie that of Mark by Mathew all is one in substance Indeede heere is the difference that Mathew to cut off all hope of pardon and to shut this sinne perpetually from remission vseth this distribution of time And certainely not without iust cause For as God when he charged Laban to vse no meanes to bring Iacob backe againe least Laban might think it lawful to vse fayre meanes though not fowle did vse a distribution of the thinges neither good nor euill As Moses after the explication of the Law addeth Thou shalt not turne aside id est no whether but least they might suppose it not amisse to turne to the right hand though not to the left to embrace superstition though not wickednesse he vseth the partition of places Neque ad dex●ram neque ad sinistram Neither to the right hand As Paul hauing set foorth the effect of the Gospell that it is Potentia Dei ad salutem cuivis credenti The power of God to saluation to euery one that beleeueth least the Iewes might dreame of some prerogatiue doth distribute the persons Iudaeo Graeco both to the Iewe and the Greeke So in this place least some might thinke as did Origen afterwards that this sin as all other sins might be remitted though not in this life yet post novissimum judicium multis voluminibus seculorum after many revolutions of future ages there fore doth Mathew vse this distribution of times Neither in this world nor in the world to come Passe wee from the Gospell to the Epistles Heb. 6. 4. 5 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 c. It is impossible c. He sayth not as doe the Iesuits it is difficult and very hard but plainely impossible Neither saith hee to renew them to baptisme or to make them pertakers of a second Baptisme but to renewe them againe to Repentance Or that they should ●e renewed againe by Repentance Repentance I say not Baptisme For what absurdity is it for our Rhemists to confound Repentance with-Baptisme Or if some of the Ancients did so vnderstand it did they not by denying Baptisme the Sacrament of Remission deny also Remission Or if the Apostle meane that this sinne of Apostasie doth exclude from a second Baptisme wherein shall it differ from other sinnes vnlesse other sinnes may allow a man a second Baptisme vpon his Repentance which were ridiculous Againe marke what the same Apostle addeth Heb. 10. 26. There remain●th no more sacrifice for sinne The Sacrifices of the old Law were effectuall in their time to the expiation of sinne if ioyned with faith Since they were abolished the Sacrifice of Christs death is effectuall But if this also be despised this being the last there is no more Sacrifice for sinne and yet without Sacrifice no remission of sinne This is the tenor of the sacred Scripture thus doth the spirit speake to the Churches and they who are of God doe acknowledge the voice of the Spirit Wherfore if the Papists will expound cannot be forgiuen by can be forgiuen Neuer by one day Neyther in this world nor in the world to come by both in this world and in the world to come Impossible by possible though difficult Repentance by Baptisme and the like Certainely it is reason that they shew some authoritie that they haue thus to expound the Scripture and to warrant their licentious interpretations else when we reade such glosses wee shall imagine that we heare not men but Bellies speake which haue sworne to defend their ●rroniu● positions whatsoeuer become of the truth of the Scriptures Yea if this may bee allowed what ●uidence of words can there be found whereby the truth shall bee able to defend her selfe against vntruth and heresie We haue heard the ●uidence of Scripture let v● also heare the witnesse of Reason And first if you please the reason● alledged by the Schoole-men The sinne against the holy-Ghost is irremissible saith Aquinas First eyther because it is finall impenitency and after this life is no repentance and no Remission and that sinne which is not remitted here is neuer dimitted
