say_v 1_o john_n 2.1,2_o my_o little_a child_n these_o thing_n write_v i_o unto_o you_o that_o you_o sin_v not_o and_o if_o any_o man_n sin_n we_o have_v a_o advocate_n with_o the_o father_n jesus_n christ_n the_o righteous_a he_o be_v the_o propitiation_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o he_o far_o say_v in_o 1_o john_n 5.16,17_o if_o any_o man_n see_v his_o brother_n sin_n a_o sin_n which_o be_v not_o unto_o death_n he_o shall_v ask_v and_o he_o shall_v give_v he_o life_n for_o they_o that_o sin_n not_o unto_o death_n there_o be_v a_o sin_n unto_o death_n i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o he_o shall_v pray_v for_o it_o all_o unrighteousness_n be_v sin_n and_o there_o be_v a_o sin_n not_o unto_o death_n and_o the_o lord_n say_v mat._n 12.31,32_o all_o manner_n of_o sin_n and_o blasphemy_n shall_v be_v forgive_v unto_o man_n but_o the_o blasphemy_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n it_o shall_v not_o be_v forgive_v unto_o man_n and_o whosoever_o speak_v a_o word_n against_o the_o son_n of_o man_n it_o shall_v be_v forgive_v but_o whosoever_o speak_v against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n it_o shall_v not_o be_v forgive_v he_o neither_o in_o this_o world_n neither_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v that_o be_v whosoever_o ignorant_o speak_v against_o the_o son_n of_o man_n which_o be_v christ_n it_o shall_v be_v forgive_v he_o but_o if_o he_o speak_v against_o the_o son_n of_o man_n christ_n know_o so_o as_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v bear_v witness_n to_o they_o that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n then_o there_o appear_v to_o be_v no_o forgiveness_n for_o they_o in_o this_o world_n nor_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v and_o although_o all_o these_o sin_n and_o blasphemy_n be_v to_o be_v forgive_v unto_o man_n except_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o which_o forgiveness_n be_v before_o conversion_n upon_o repentance_n but_o after_o they_o be_v regenerate_v there_o be_v no_o such_o pardon_n for_o such_o cry_a sin_n as_o the_o word_n of_o st._n paul_n make_v clear_o evident_a as_o in_o heb._n 6.4,5,6_o and_o in_o heb._n 10.26,27,28,29_o 2_o pet._n 20.21_o and_o christ_n himself_o say_v in_o mat._n 10.33_o whosoever_o shall_v deny_v i_o before_o man_n he_o will_v i_o also_o deny_v before_o my_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n now_o the_o sin_n in_o the_o saint_n consist_v of_o three_o sort_n first_o sin_n of_o ignorance_n second_o sin_n of_o infirmity_n three_o sin_n of_o surprisal_n the_o which_o if_o we_o so_o fall_v it_o be_v say_v in_o psal_n 37.24_o he_o shall_v not_o utter_o be_v cast_v down_o for_o the_o lord_n

we_o may_v not_o trust_v ourselves_o but_o go_v to_o god_n for_o strength_n of_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n and_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n both_o of_o good_a and_o evil_n when_o god_n create_v man_n he_o so_o far_o create_v they_o as_o he_o do_v the_o angel_n in_o that_o he_o give_v they_o eternal_a life_n so_o if_o they_o have_v never_o sin_v they_o have_v never_o die_v and_o also_o in_o that_o god_n make_v man_n perfect_o righteous_a and_o give_v they_o a_o freedom_n of_o will_n so_o as_o they_o may_v have_v choose_v the_o good_a and_o refuse_v the_o evil_a but_o there_o be_v then_o in_o paradise_n a_o opposite_a to_o god_n and_o all_o good_a god_n forewarn_v man_n of_o it_o underneath_o the_o name_n or_o by_o the_o representation_n of_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a

good_a and_o evil._n now_o where_o the_o tree_n be_v speak_v of_o gen._n 2.9_o and_o out_o of_o the_o ground_n make_v the_o lord_n god_n to_o grow_v every_o tree_n that_o be_v pleasant_a to_o the_o

also_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o garden_n and_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil._n now_o it_o be_v not_o plain_o say_v that_o these_o two_o tree_n grow_v out_o of_o the_o

however_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n be_v the_o representative_a of_o christ_n and_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a be_v the_o representative_a of_o the_o devil_n and_o have_v man_n first_o take_v and_o eat_v of_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n without_o doubt_n he_o have_v then_o be_v past_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n delusion_n so_o that_o he_o shall_v in_o no_o wise_a have_v adheard_v to_o he_o which_o in_o scripture_n be_v term_v eat_v as_o in_o john_n 6.57_o as_o the_o live_a father_n have_v send_v i_o and_o as_o i_o live_v by_o the_o
