9.9_o to_o thou_o o_o lord_n god_n belong_v mercy_n and_o forgiveness_n say_v daniel_n true_a it_o be_v but_o when_o a_o man_n have_v make_v himself_o uncapable_a of_o mercy_n the_o cogitation_n

to_o who_o the_o cure_n or_o care_n thereof_o do_v belong_v i_o hold_v it_o expedient_a either_o in_o reconcile_n or_o confute_v the_o difference_n of_o opinion_n to_o relieve_v those_o who_o may_v

the_o one_o be_v touch_v the_o description_n the_o other_o the_o remission_n of_o this_o sin_n concern_v the_o first_o some_o make_v final_a impenitency_n to_o be_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a

impenitency_n be_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n final_a impenitency_n shall_v be_v pardonable_a which_o absurdity_n every_o sensible_a man_n must_v needs_o be_v ashamed_a of_o but_o bellarmine_n himself_o 16._o himself_o bellam._n the_o penitent_a lib._n 2._o cap._n 16._o have_v diverse_a argument_n for_o the_o confutation_n of_o this_o error_n which_o i_o will_v brief_o repeat_v 1._o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v proper_o blasphemy_n but_o final_a impenitency_n be_v not_o blasphemy_n therefore_o final_a impenitency_n be_v not_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 2._o final_a impenitency_n be_v not_o commit_v till_o death_n but_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v commit_v before_o death_n therefore_o final_a impenitency_n be_v not_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o minor_a proposition_n be_v evident_a for_o our_o saviour_n charge_v the_o pharisee_n with_o this_o sin_n who_o be_v then_o live_v and_o for_o any_o thing_n we_o know_v live_v long_o after_o further_o paul_n speak_v of_o this_o sin_n in_o the_o sixth_o to_o the_o hebrew_n say_v it_o be_v impossible_a that_o they_o which_o have_v commit_v the_o same_o shall_v be_v renew_v by_o repentance_n in_o which_o word_n the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o those_o that_o be_v alive_a else_o shall_v he_o affirm_v that_o the_o dead_a can_v be_v renew_v by_o repentance_n which_o speech_n be_v idle_a and_o much_o unbeseeming_a so_o great_a a_o apostle_n again_o whereas_o saint_n john_n say_v there_o be_v a_o sin_n unto_o death_n i_o say_v not_o that_o thou_o shall_v pray_v for_o it_o 5.16_o 1_o joh._n 5.16_o he_o speak_v of_o live_a man_n and_o whereas_o some_o think_v he_o speak_v of_o the_o dead_a the_o text_n be_v direct_o against_o they_o for_o he_o say_v he_o that_o know_v his_o brother_n to_o sin_v a_o sin_n not_o unto_o death_n etc._n etc._n in_o which_o word_n he_o admit_v that_o a_o man_n may_v see_v and_o know_v when_o the_o sin_n be_v commit_v and_o therefore_o he_o speak_v not_o of_o final_a impenitency_n which_o can_v be_v know_v till_o after_o a_o man_n death_n and_o hardly_o then_o also_o moreover_o if_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o sin_n of_o those_o that_o be_v dead_a he_o shall_v not_o say_v he_o that_o know_v his_o brother_n to_o sin_n but_o he_o that_o know_v his_o brother_n to_o have_v sin_v thus_o bellarmine_n have_v
