consequent_o that_o this_o sin_n be_v not_o absolute_o unpardonable_a chap._n xvi_o a_o exposition_n of_o that_o place_n 1_o john_n 5._o 16._o of_o the_o distinction_n of_o sin_n into_o venial_a and_o mortal_a what_o be_v mean_v by_o a_o sin_n not_o unto_o death_n and_o a_o sin_n unto_o death_n that_o all_o sin_n be_v not_o equal_a there_o be_v yet_o another_o doubt_n to_o be_v clear_v which_o seem_v to_o represent_v this_o grand_a sin_n as_o if_o it_o be_v altogether_o and_o absolute_o unpardonable_a which_o be_v occasion_v by_o those_o word_n 1_o john_n 5._o 16._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 dâ—e_v not_o say_v that_o he_o shall_v pray_v for_o it_o by_o which_o word_n at_o first_o sight_n it_o may_v seem_v that_o 1._o 1._o some_o sin_n be_v deadly_a or_o mortal_a and_o other_o sin_v not_o deadly_a for_o from_o these_o word_n the_o father_n often_o use_v to_o distinguish_v sin_n into_o venial_a and_o mortal_a whereas_o we_o be_v well_o assure_v that_o every_o sin_n even_o the_o very_a lest_o pâ—ccadillo_n be_v in_o itself_o mortal_a and_o may_v bring_v damnation_n and_o yet_o we_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o great_a capital_a sin_n may_v by_o god_n mercy_n become_v vemal_a and_o may_v be_v pardon_v second_o it_o may_v seem_v by_o these_o word_n that_o although_o 2._o 2._o some_o sinner_n may_v and_o in_o christian_a charity_n ought_v to_o be_v pray_v for_o yet_o other_o without_o breach_n of_o christian_a charity_n may_v be_v omit_v and_o not_o pray_v for_o which_o yet_o seem_v very_o rough_a and_o harsh_a see_v we_o be_v command_v 44._o mat._n 5._o 44._o both_o to_o love_v our_o enemy_n and_o to_o pray_v even_o for_o they_o that_o persecute_v we_o wherefore_o for_o the_o right_a understanding_n of_o these_o difficulty_n it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o examine_v these_o word_n diligent_o by_o way_n of_o a_o exposition_n for_o sure_o if_o any_o sinner_n in_o this_o life_n sin_n so_o deadly_a that_o we_o may_v not_o pâ—ay_v for_o he_o and_o if_o prayer_n be_v absolute_o forbid_v by_o these_o word_n who_o will_v doubt_v but_o that_o such_o a_o sinner_n be_v absolute_o unpardonable_a and_o whole_o leave_v to_o desperation_n now_o to_o the_o word_n 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 in_o these_o word_n the_o prudent_a reader_n may_v observe_v first_o that_o the_o sin_n here_o mean_v be_v such_o a_o sin_n as_o 1._o 1._o may_v be_v see_v perceive_v and_o discern_v second_o that_o it_o must_v be_v discernible_a whether_o it_o 2._o 2._o be_v unto_o death_n or_o not_o unto_o death_n
