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

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
