course_n in_o another_o tract_n

so_o fresh_o in_o my_o memory_n since_o you_o resolve_v they_o unto_o i_o at_o that_o i_o be_o full_o reselue_v that_o they_o be_v but_o wrest_v and_o wring_v by_o the_o adversary_n to_o sorne_v his_o turn_n elym_n but_o by_o your_o favour_n sir_n nothing_o have_v yet_o be_v say_v to_o one_o place_n plain_o distinguish_v betwixt_o venial_a and_o mortal_a sin_n and_o conclude_a prayer_n for_o some_o dead_a viz._n that_o sin_n not_o unto_o death_n but_o be_v penitent_a before_o they_o die_v paul_n you_o do_v well_o to_o recall_v that_o again_o which_o i_o think_v not_o worth_a the_o answer_n how_o can_v it_o be_v speak_v of_o mortal_a and_o venial_a sin_n be_v he_o that_o have_v sin_v a_o mortal_a sin_n to_o be_v give_v over_o then_o as_o a_o desperate_a reprobate_n and_o not_o to_o be_v pray_v for_o any_o more_o what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o condemn_v peter_n himself_o and_o david_n and_o manasseh_n etc._n etc._n as_o unworthy_a to_o be_v pray_v for_o if_o your_o distinction_n of_o mortal_a and_o venial_a sin_n have_v no_o better_a ground_n but_o this_o it_o be_v set_v up_o altogether_o upon_o the_o sand_n and_o for_o pray_v for_o any_o dead_a nothing_o can_v be_v more_o absurd_a then_o to_o allege_v this_o for_o he_o do_v not_o note_v out_o the_o time_n of_o continue_v or_o break_v off_o from_o sin_n as_o make_v his_o case_n that_o have_v sin_v desperate_a or_o reparable_a by_o the_o prayer_n of_o other_o by_o reason_n of_o this_o circumstance_n but_o plain_o in_o itself_o for_o he_o say_v there_o be_v a_o sin_n unto_o death_n and_o again_o there_o be_v a_o sin_n not_o unto_o death_n that_o be_v in_o plain_a english_a there_o be_v a_o sin_n which_o who_o so_o commit_v it_o shall_v die_v therefore_o without_o all_o hope_n of_o life_n whatsoever_o prayer_n shall_v be_v make_v for_o he_o but_o there_o be_v sin_n also_o the_o proper_a sequel_n and_o wage_n whereof_o be_v death_n yet_o not_o so_o necessary_o but_o remission_n and_o life_n may_v be_v obtain_v notwithstanding_o and_o if_o it_o be_v take_v in_o this_o sense_n there_o be_v the_o consent_n of_o other_o place_n to_o confirm_v it_o as_o that_o all_o sin_n shall_v be_v forgive_v to_o the_o son_n of_o man_n but_o he_o that_o sin_v against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v never_o be_v forgive_v of_o such_o a_o sin_n saul_n seem_v to_o have_v be_v guilty_a when_o the_o lord_n forbid_v samuel_n to_o pray_v any_o more_o for_o he_o but_o take_v it_o of_o pray_v for_o such_o as_o die_v repeneant_o and_o where_o can_v you_o find_v any_o to_o second_v it_o serg._n paul_n i_o see_v it_o be_v in_o

●o●_n may_v happen_v to_o put_v he_o down_o indeed_o paul_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o sir_n as_o you_o have_v say_v for_o whatsoever_o flourish_v they_o make_v their_o conscience_n tell_v they_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v against_o they_o see_v they_o can_v no_o more_o abide_v they_o than_o the_o ●●●tle_a the_o daylight_n why_o else_o do_v they_o keep_v they_o lock_v up_o in_o a_o

the_o proof_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o can_v bepropound_v but_o they_o be_v very_o confident_a that_o we_o can_v demonstrate_v in_o particular_a the_o time_n and_o person_n when_o and_o by_o who_o their_o false_a doctrine_n be_v broach_v and_o their_o superstition_n bring_v in_o yet_o i_o fear_v as_o little_a to_o enter_v the_o list_n with_o he_o about_o this_o argument_n as_o about_o the_o
