conscience_n condemn_v thy_o person_n i_o confess_v thou_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o believe_v mercy_n for_o thyself_o if_o thy_o conscience_n tell_v thou_o to_o the_o face_n of_o god_n thou_o be_v in_o a_o foul_a sinful_a course_n and_o have_v be_v call_v upon_o by_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o word_n and_o its_o voice_n to_o come_v out_o of_o it_o and_o thou_o do_v not_o leave_v it_o nay_o be_v resolve_v to_o pursue_v it_o and_o to_o insist_v on_o it_o now_o god_n be_v great_a than_o thy_o conscience_n and_o will_v assure_o condemn_v thou_o 2._o if_o conscience_n condemn_v thy_o action_n only_o than_o thou_o may_v notwithstanding_o that_o condemnation_n believe_v on_o mercy_n my_o meaning_n be_v this_o though_o the_o conscience_n by_o its_o discerm_n light_a represent_v unto_o thou_o much_o sinfulness_n in_o thy_o nature_n and_o former_a course_n and_o though_o it_o do_v condemn_v these_o to_o be_v vile_a and_o most_o fit_a to_o be_v crucify_v abhor_a and_o forsake_v this_o condemnation_n hinder_v not_o the_o right_a of_o believe_v nay_o no_o man_n indeed_o shall_v believe_v unless_o his_o conscience_n do_v condemn_v sin_n in_o he_o not_o only_o show_v he_o his_o sin_n but_o assure_v he_o that_o they_o be_v evil_a and_o unworthy_a his_o love_n nay_o most_o worthy_a of_o his_o detestation_n and_o mortification_n 2._o second_o you_o must_v distinguish_v of_o time_n when_o conscience_n do_v condemn_v a_o man_n there_o be_v two_o time_n of_o a_o christian_n 1._o some_o be_v open_a and_o free_a he_o be_v himself_o and_o beside_o that_o he_o hear_v both_o party_n as_o well_o what_o be_v for_o himself_o as_o what_o be_v against_o himself_o yea_o and_o weigh_v matter_n in_o controversy_n in_o the_o right_a balance_n of_o god_n sanctuary_n not_o in_o satan_n balance_n of_o cunning_a suggestion_n will_v conscience_n condemn_v thy_o person_n at_o such_o a_o time_n and_o under_o such_o circumstance_n nay_o will_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n acquit_v thou_o at_o such_o a_o time_n against_o all_o fear_n for_o the_o substance_n and_o reality_n of_o a_o pious_a condition_n 2._o some_o be_v cloud_v &_o darken_v either_o with_o melancholy_n or_o affliction_n or_o temptation_n wherein_o the_o christian_a see_v his_o face_n through_o a_o false_a glass_n just_a as_o a_o title_n be_v make_v by_o a_o deceitful_a &_o cunning_a lawyer_n not_o according_a to_o truth_n not_o all_o of_o it_o but_o some_o of_o it_o what_o be_v pass_v heretofore_o for_o action_n and_o affection_n or_o what_o have_v fall_v out_o not_o in_o the_o course_n of_o life_n since_o a_o man_n conversion_n but_o only_o in_o case_n of_o surprisal_n and_o captivity_n now_o perhaps_o conscience_n may_v condemn_v thou_o but_o this_o be_v a_o illegal_a sentence_n it_o be_v a_o corrupt_a judgement_n and_o be_v reversible_a god_n will_v not_o judge_v of_o thou_o as_o conscience_n in_o such_o a_o case_n do_v nay_o he_o will_v repeal_v it_o and_o disannul_v it_o 4._o a_o four_o cause_n of_o doubt_n be_v a_o fear_n lest_o a_o man_n have_v sin_v that_o great_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o main_a inducement_n to_o credit_v this_o be_v a_o sin_v against_o clear_a knowledge_n which_o be_v one_o ingredient_n in_o that_o sin_n now_o this_o be_v my_o condition_n say_v a_o trouble_a soul_n i_o have_v not_o only_o sin_v but_o sin_v against_o light_n shine_v in_o the_o ministry_n and_o work_v on_o my_o conscience_n therefore_o i_o may_v rather_o conclude_v then_o question_v it_o mercy_n belong_v not_o to_o i_o to_o help_v a_o conscience_n thus_o sol._n enthral_a i_o will_v wish_v that_o such_o a_o person_n will_v 1._o be_v inform_v 2._o be_v direct_v 1._o the_o information_n which_o i_o will_v commend_v in_o this_o case_n be_v fourfold_a first_o that_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o any_o sin_n which_o a_o man_n commit_v through_o ignorance_n whatsoever_o the_o sin_n or_o sin_n have_v be_v whereof_o the_o party_n stand_v guilty_a whether_o against_o the_o law_n or_o against_o the_o gospel_n suppose_v it_o be_v one_o or_o many_o heinous_a sin_n yet_o if_o the_o person_n be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o blindness_n and_o ignorance_n if_o there_o be_v a_o nescience_n of_o the_o fact_n if_o he_o know_v not_o what_o he_o do_v this_o ignorance_n privilege_v the_o sinning_n thus_o far_o that_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n second_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o any_o sin_n against_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v elicit_v and_o act_v through_o a_o misbelief_n or_o misperswasion_n if_o the_o sin_n be_v a_o slight_v of_o evangelicall_a doctrine_n nay_o a_o persecute_v of_o they_o and_o of_o the_o professor_n of_o they_o yet_o if_o these_o act_n of_o opposition_n depend_v total_o on_o error_n in_o the_o judgement_n on_o a_o judgement_n mispersuaded_n i_o rather_o believe_v they_o not_o to_o be_v truth_n rather_o think_v those_o way_n to_o be_v false_a way_n i_o say_v this_o misbelief_n preserve_v such_o sinning_n yet_o from_o be_v sin_n against_o the_o holy_a 13._o 1_o tim._n 1._o 13._o ghost_n because_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n suppose_v light_a even_o to_o conviction_n and_o approbation_n see_v heb._n 6._o 4._o 5._o three_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o every_o sin_v against_o knowledge_n these_o be_v not_o reciprocal_a proposition_n every_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v against_o knowledge_n and_o every_o sin_n against_o knowledge_n be_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o former_a be_v true_a but_o the_o latter_a be_v not_o for_o many_o a_o convert_a man_n sin_v against_o knowledge_n who_o yet_o never_o sin_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o two_o case_n a_o man_n sin_v against_o knowledge_n do_v not_o yet_o sin_v that_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n one_o be_v the_o case_n of_o a_o strong_a and_o violent_a temptation_n another_o be_v the_o case_n of_o a_o sudden_a and_o turbulent_a passion_n it_o be_v the_o same_o with_o peter_n case_n against_o his_o knowledge_n deny_v and_o forswear_v his_o master_n if_o paul_n before_o his_o conversion_n have_v have_v peter_n knowledge_n he_o have_v sin_v this_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o if_o peter_n in_o his_o denial_n have_v have_v paul_n malice_n join_v with_o his_o knowledge_n he_o have_v also_o sin_v that_o sin_n but_o the_o misbelief_n of_o the_o one_o before_o his_o conversion_n and_o the_o infirmity_n of_o the_o other_o after_o it_o preserve_v from_o this_o sin_n error_n mislead_v the_o one_o and_o sudden_a fear_n surprise_v the_o other_o four_o there_o be_v three_o horrible_a sinning_n which_o do_v attend_v that_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o scripture_n which_o we_o be_v best_a exceed_v wary_o to_o follow_v in_o resolve_v this_o case_n express_o deliver_v they_o 1._o one_o be_v total_a apostasy_n from_o the_o truth_n of_o jesus_n christ_n know_v and_o taste_v the_o truth_n of_o christ_n must_v 1._o be_v know_v and_o apprehend_v 2._o know_v and_o taste_v they_o must_v be_v approve_v 3._o and_o then_o the_o person_n fall_v from_o these_o 4._o nay_o his_o fall_n be_v not_o particular_a which_o be_v incident_a to_o the_o best_a it_o be_v a_o total_a fall_n not_o a_o fall_n in_o the_o way_n but_o a_o fall_n from_o the_o way_n of_o truth_n heb._n 6._o 4._o if_o they_o be_v once_o enlighten_v and_o taste_v etc._n etc._n if_o for_o 6._o they_o shall_v fall_v away_o 2._o a_o second_o be_v a_o malicious_a oppugnation_n of_o that_o truth_n which_o be_v once_o know_v and_o taste_v and_o from_o which_o now_o the_o person_n be_v fall_v call_v heb._n 6._o 6._o a_o crueify_n of_o the_o son_n

be_v evident_a in_o the_o pharisee_n who_o see_v and_o know_v the_o light_n but_o hate_v and_o persecute_v it_o unto_o the_o death_n 3._o a_o three_o be_v final_a impenitency_n whosoever_o sin_n the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n he_o neither_o do_v repent_v nor_o can_v repent_v he_o be_v so_o just_o and_o for_o ever_o forsake_v of_o god_n and_o give_v up_o to_o a_o reprobate_a sense_n and_o a_o sear_a conscience_n that_o he_o can_v repent_v though_o perhaps_o he_o may_v see_v his_o course_n to_o be_v evil_a yet_o it_o be_v impossible_a say_v the_o apostle_n in_o heb._n 6._o 6._o
