of_o the_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o the_o sin_n unto_o death_n 1_o john_n v._o part_n of_o verse_n 16._o there_o be_v a_o sin_n unto_o death_n there_o be_v no_o mere_a man_n since_o the_o fall_n that_o can_v live_v without_o sin_n for_o all_o be_v sinner_n but_o yet_o there_o be_v degree_n of_o sin_n some_o sin_n in_o their_o own_o nature_n be_v small_a other_o be_v more_o great_a and_o heinous_a many_o sin_n there_o be_v that_o be_v great_a yet_o pardonable_a and_o one_o sin_n there_o be_v unpardonable_a and_o whosoever_o commit_v that_o one_o sin_n shall_v

speak_v of_o here_o in_o my_o text_n that_o this_o be_v a_o sin_n unto_o death_n and_o now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o explication_n of_o the_o word_n from_o whence_o i_o shall_v raise_v this_o point_n of_o doctrine_n doct._n that_o among_o other_o sin_n commit_v by_o fall_v mankind_n there_o be_v only_o one_o sin_n that_o be_v a_o sin_n unto_o death_n &_o whosoever_o commit_v that_o he_o have_v

the_o sin_n unto_o death_n be_v second_o that_o all_o our_o sin_n how_o great_a and_o heinous_a soever_o may_v be_v forgive_v three_o that_o this_o sin_n alone_o shall_v never_o be_v forgive_v four_o the_o reason_n why_o that_o sin_n alone_o be_v unpardonable_a and_o then_o last_o i_o shall_v conclude_v all_o with_o a_o few_o word_n of_o application_n i_o shall_v begin_v first_o with_o the_o description_n of_o this_o unpardonable_a sin_n where_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o make_v as_o plain_a a_o description_n of_o it_o as_o possible_a i_o can_v and_o in_o do_v of_o it_o i_o shall_v i._o

or_o in_o what_o degree_n a_o man_n may_v sin_n and_o yet_o not_o commit_v that_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 1._o it_o be_v not_o every_o quench_n of_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v that_o sin_n it_o be_v true_a when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n come_v with_o a_o still_a voice_n &_o knock_v at_o the_o door_n of_o sinner_n heart_n for_o entrance_n he_o often_o come_v &_o strive_v with_o they_o and_o secret_o woo_v &_o beseech_v they_o to_o leave_v their_o sin_n &_o be_v convert_v yet_o they_o quench_v and_o stifle_v all_o his_o motion_n and_o bear_v up_o their_o heart_n against_o he_o and_o will_v not_o be_v obedient_a to_o his_o heavenly_a call_n now_o such_o sin_n grievous_o against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o yet_o this_o alone_a be_v not_o the_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o many_o who_o have_v stand_v it_o out_o a_o long_a time_n &_o have_v often_o quench_v and_o grieve_v the_o holy_a spirit_n yet_o at_o last_o they_o have_v be_v wrought_v upon_o unto_o sincere_a conversion_n 2._o a_o man_n may_v commit_v many_o heinous_a &_o cry_a sin_n &_o yet_o not_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o idolater_n a_o whoremonger_n a_o furnicator_n a_o murderer_n and_o work_v witchcraft_n and_o sin_n with_o a_o very_a high_a hand_n nay_o he_o may_v live_v

that_o manasses_n sin_v with_o a_o very_a high_a hand_n he_o be_v a_o idolater_n a_o enchanter_n and_o work_v witchcraft_n and_o deal_v with_o familiar_a spirit_n and_o wrought_v much_o evil_n in_o

christ_n himself_o have_v say_v mat._n 12.31_o that_o all_o manner_n of_o sin_n and_o blasphemy_n shall_v be_v forgive_v unto_o man_n except_o it_o be_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o you_o be_v to_o take_v the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o their_o true_a sense_n and_o meaning_n it_o be_v all_o manner_n of_o sin_n and_o blasphemy_n commit_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o a_o man_n life_n that_o shall_v be_v forgive_v except_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o final_a impenitency_n and_o final_a unbelief_n be_v not_o complete_v until_o the_o very_a moment_n of_o a_o man_n death_n and_o than_o you_o all_o know_v that_o there_o be_v no_o repentance_n and_o consequent_o no_o pardon_n after_o death_n for_o christ_n say_v he_o that_o sin_v against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v no_o forgiveness_n neither_o in_o this_o world_n nor_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v now_o why_o shall_v christ_n say_v in_o this_o world_n if_o there_o be_v no_o space_n to_o be_v forgive_v in_o in_o this_o world_n but_o a_o man_n may_v commit_v the_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n even_o many_o year_n before_o his_o death_n beside_o there_o be_v many_o thousand_o that_o die_v in_o impenitency_n and_o unbelief_n and_o be_v damn_v and_o yet_o never_o commit_v the_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n thus_o

this_o sin_n unto_o death_n be_v and_o wherein_o this_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v consist_v now_o there_o be_v several_a opinion_n in_o the_o world_n about_o it_o some_o
