A57943	Russel's sermon on the unpardonable sin against the Holy Ghost, or, The sin unto death Wherein is declared, a plain description of it, both negatively what it is not, and also positively what it is; and a plain reason why it is unpardonable. With a word of comfort, and also of counsel, how to avoid it. By R. Russel, in Sussex. Licensed according to order.	Russel, Robert, fl. 1692.	1692 (1692)	Wing R2347L; ESTC R218546	11,034	27

of_o christ_n he_o know_v christ_n to_o be_v his_o lord_n and_o saviour_n he_o be_v one_o of_o christ_n belove_a disciple_n and_o for_o all_o that_o how_o strong_o he_o deny_v christ_n and_o that_o with_o a_o cath_z too_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o christ_n look_v upon_o he_o with_o a_o merciful_a eye_n and_o he_o repent_v and_o be_v forgive_v four_o it_o be_v not_o every_o malicious_a sin_n that_o be_v the_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o st._n paul_n certain_o have_v great_a malice_n in_o his_o heart_n when_o he_o go_v on_o so_o furious_o to_o persecute_v the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o he_o be_v convert_v and_o become_v a_o preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n which_o before_o he_o persecute_v five_o and_o last_o it_o be_v not_o final_a unbelief_n nor_o final_a impenitence_n that_o be_v the_o unpardoable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n though_o some_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o it_o be_v because_o that_o sin_n be_v unpardonable_a and_o christ_n himself_o have_v say_v matth._n chap._n 12._o ver._n 32._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 then_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 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 i_o have_v show_v you_o negative_o what_o be_v not_o this_o unpardonable_a sin_n none_o of_o these_o sin_n in_o particular_a be_v that_o sin_n second_o i_o come_v now_o to_o show_v you_o positive_o what_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 hold_v one_o thing_n some_o another_o but_o i_o have_v not_o time_n nor_o room_n to_o dispute_v concern_v other_o opinion_n about_o it_o but_o i_o will_v endeavour_v through_o god_n help_n to_o lead_v you_o to_o the_o plain_a sight_n of_o it_o by_o the_o light_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n now_o in_o the_o first_o place_n you_o must_v know_v that_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o people_n that_o can_v commit_v this_o unpardonable_a sin_n first_o the_o true_a believer_n can_v commit_v it_o though_o many_o time_n for_o their_o trial_n god_n suffer_v they_o to_o fall_v foul_o into_o many_o grievous_a sin_n yet_o they_o be_v root_v in_o christ_n they_o be_v uphold_v by_o free_a grace_n and_o mercy_n that_o they_o can_v fall_v into_o this_o unpardonable_a sin_n second_o the_o gross_o ignorant_a can_v commit_v it_o because_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n against_o great_a light_n and_o knowledge_n indeed_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v damn_v yet_o among_o that_o great_a part_n there_o be_v but_o few_o of_o they_o that_o can_v commit_v that_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n some_o have_v both_o light_n and_o grace_n these_o shall_v not_o commit_v this_o unpardonable_a sin_n again_o some_o have_v neither_o light_n nor_o grace_n these_o can_v commit_v it_o but_o there_o be_v some_o again_o that_o have_v light_a and_o no_o grace_n these_o be_v they_o that_o be_v liable_a to_o commit_v the_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n now_o there_o must_v be_v two_o ingredient_n to_o make_v up_o this_o unpardonable_a sin_n that_o be_v light_n in_o the_o head_n and_o malice_n in_o the_o heart_n without_o these_o two_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n can_v be_v commit_v for_o to_o sin_n against_o great_a light_n and_o knowledge_n be_v not_o that_o sin_n alone_o nor_o yet_o to_o sin_n ignorant_o out_o of_o that_o malice_n be_v not_o that_o sin_n but_o they_o must_v join_v both_o together_o to_o make_v up_o this_o unpardonable_a sin_n this_o we_o see_v plain_a by_o the_o example_n of_o st._n peter_n and_o st._n paul_n peter_n he_o deny_v christ_n and_o forswear_v himself_o too_o and_o that_o grievous_o against_o great_a light_n and_o knowledge_n for_o he_o know_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n and_o he_o know_v god_n in_o he_o he_o be_v one_o of_o christ_n disciple_n and_o one_o of_o his_o belove_a disciple_n too_o he_o be_v teach_v of_o christ_n and_o have_v experimental_a knowledge_n of_o his_o love_n and_o favour_n and_o yet_o he_o wicked_o with_o a_o oath_n deny_v he_o now_o if_o peter_n have_v do_v this_o out_o of_o malice_n and_o spite_n than_o he_o have_v commit_v that_o sin_n unto_o death_n for_o which_o there_o be_v no_o forgiveness_n but_o peter_n have_v no_o malice_n in_o his_o heart_n all_o this_o while_n even_o at_o that_o time_n when_o he_o deny_v christ_n as_o you_o may_v see_v matth._n 29._o when_o christ_n tell_v he_o before_o the_o cock_n crow_n thou_o shall_v deny_v i_o thrice_o he_o answer_v if_o i_o shall_v die_v with_o thou_o i_o will_v not_o deny_v thou_o and_o then_o deny_v he_o through_o infirmity_n and_o weakness_n of_o the_o flesh_n when_o he_o have_v consider_v what_o he_o have_v do_v he_o go_v out_o and_o weep_v bitter_o ver_fw-la 75._o and_o paul_n he_o have_v great_a malice_n and_o spite_n against_o the_o way_n and_o people_n of_o god_n as_o you_o may_v see_v act_v 9.1_o paul_n breathe_v out_o threaten_n and_o slaughter_n against_o the_o disciple_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o desire_v of_o they_o letter_n to_o damascus_n to_o the_o synagogue_n that_o if_o he_o find_v any_o of_o this_o way_n whether_o man_n or_o woman_n that_o he_o shall_v bring_v they_o bind_v to_o jerusalem_n now_o here_o be_v great_a rage_n and_o malice_n in_o saul_n against_o the_o way_n and_o people_n of_o god_n but_o do_v it_o ignorant_o he_o at_o last_o hear_v of_o a_o voice_n say_v saul_n saul_n why_o persecute_v thou_o i_o and_o receive_n of_o a_o light_n from_o heaven_n that_o it_o be_v jesus_n that_o he_o persecute_v he_o be_v prick_v at_o the_o heart_n and_o tremble_v and_o astonish_v say_v lord_n what_o will_v thou_o have_v i_o to_o do_v now_o by_o these_o two_o place_n of_o scripture_n you_o may_v plain_o see_v that_o peter_n sin_v against_o great_a light_n and_o paul_n out_o of_o great_a malice_n yet_o none_o of_o they_o both_o commit_v the_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o whensoever_o light_n and_o malice_n meet_v together_o in_o one_o man_n than_o there_o be_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n now_o as_o all_o other_o sin_n so_o this_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n may_v be_v commit_v in_o thought_n word_n or_o action_n first_o in_o thought_n that_o be_v when_o a_o wicked_a man_n against_o his_o clear_a light_n and_o knowledge_n do_v but_o conceive_v a_o malicious_a thought_n or_o purpose_n towards_o persecute_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n or_o of_o the_o saint_n of_o christ_n to_o hinder_v the_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o they_o this_o sin_n be_v to_o be_v think_v be_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o lose_a angel_n for_o which_o cause_n they_o be_v lose_v without_o all_o hope_n of_o pardon_n now_o some_o dispute_n whether_o their_o sin_n be_v a_o sin_n of_o the_o thought_n but_o i_o say_v with_o all_o likelihood_n it_o be_v for_o the_o angel_n be_v only_o spirit_n without_o body_n and_o so_o have_v no_o use_n of_o bodily_a tongue_n it_o can_v not_o be_v commit_v in_o word_n nor_o yet_o can_v they_o commit_v it_o in_o action_n because_o they_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o heaven_n before_o they_o can_v bring_v it_o into_o practice_n therefore_o it_o must_v be_v a_o sin_n of_o the_o thought_n now_o their_o sin_n be_v this_o their_o habitation_n be_v in_o the_o high_a heaven_n next_o under_o god_n himself_o they_o have_v exceed_o great_a light_n and_o knowledge_n they_o have_v more_o knowledge_n than_o all_o the_o

man_n in_o the_o world_n ever_o have_v and_o be_v happy_a above_o all_o other_o creature_n but_o then_o not_o be_v content_v with_o this_o estate_n they_o think_v to_o be_v as_o high_a as_o god_n himself_o therefore_o malicious_o seek_v to_o make_v war_n against_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o put_v he_o out_o of_o his_o throne_n for_o which_o cause_n they_o be_v immediate_o thrust_v out_o of_o heaven_n never_o more_o to_o see_v the_o face_n of_o mercy_n and_o thus_o from_o the_o beginning_n they_o have_v be_v count_v malicious_a and_o revengeful_a a_o rage_a beast_n and_o a_o roar_a lion_n thus_o their_o sin_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n they_o be_v exclude_v all_o hope_n of_o pardon_n but_o the_o sin_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n be_v not_o the_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v clear_a for_o though_o they_o sin_v against_o great_a light_n yet_o they_o obey_v and_o comply_v with_o the_o will_n of_o god_n even_o when_o the_o tempter_n come_v until_o at_o last_o they_o be_v entice_v and_o overcome_v but_o they_o do_v not_o fall_v malicious_o and_o so_o be_v not_o exclude_v a_o possibility_n of_o mercy_n second_o this_o sin_n may_v be_v commit_v in_o word_n too_o that_o be_v when_o a_o man_n speak_v blasphemous_o and_o malicious_o of_o christ_n and_o his_o holy_a way_n this_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n mark_v 3.22_o there_o be_v certain_a scribe_n come_v and_o say_v this_o fellow_n have_v beelzebub_n and_o casle_v out_o devil_n by_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o devil_n therefore_o say_v christ_n to_o they_o ver_fw-la 28.29_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o all_o sin_n shall_v be_v forgive_v unto_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o blasphemy_n wherewith_o soever_o they_o shall_v blaspheme_v but_o whosoever_o shall_v blaspheme_v against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v never_o forgiveness_n but_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o eternal_a damnation_n now_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o speech_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n be_v show_v in_o verse_n 20._o because_o they_o say_v he_o have_v a_o unclean_a spirit_n which_o plain_o show_v that_o these_o scribe_n have_v speak_v blasphemy_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n these_o scribe_n be_v great_a learned_a man_n they_o can_v know_v no_o other_o but_o that_o christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o they_o know_v that_o he_o cast_v out_o devil_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o they_o out_o of_o spite_n to_o christ_n malicious_o and_o blasphemous_o say_v that_o he_o cast_v out_o devil_n by_o beelzebub_n the_o chief_a of_o devil_n thus_o these_o scribe_n commit_v the_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o that_o in_o word_n three_o this_o sin_n may_v be_v commit_v in_o action_n too_o that_o be_v when_o a_o man_n be_v once_o thorough_o enlighten_v and_o enter_v upon_o a_o holy_a course_n of_o life_n and_o taste_v the_o comfort_n of_o god_n spirit_n and_o have_v some_o foretaste_n of_o the_o joy_n of_o heaven_n and_o not_o only_o make_v profession_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o teach_v it_o to_o other_o he_o at_o last_o take_v a_o dislike_n of_o these_o holy_a course_n and_o through_o spite_n and_o malice_n utter_o forsake_v oppose_v and_o persecute_v those_o good_a way_n of_o god_n which_o he_o before_o profess_v and_o teach_v but_o to_o sum_v up_o this_o point_n this_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v full_o describe_v by_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n chap._n 10.26_o 27_o 28._o for_o if_o we_o sin_v wilful_o after_o we_o have_v receive_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n there_o remain_v no_o more_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n but_o a_o fearful_a look_v for_o of_o judgement_n and_o fiery_a indignation_n how_o much_o sore_a punishment_n shall_v he_o be_v think_v worthy_a who_o have_v tread_v under_o foot_n the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o count_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o covenant_n wherewith_o he_o be_v sanctify_v a_o unholy_a thing_n and_o have_v do_v despite_n to_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n likewise_o heb._n 6.4_o 5_o 6._o for_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o those_o who_o when_o once_o enlighten_v and_o have_v taste_v of_o the_o heavenly_a gift_n and_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o have_v taste_v the_o good_a word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o power_n of_o the_o world_n to_o come_v if_o they_o fall_v away_o to_o renew_v they_o again_o to_o repentance_n see_v they_o crucify_v afresh_o to_o themselves_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o put_v he_o to_o open_a shame_n now_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v brief_o this_o it_o be_v a_o wilful_a and_o malicious_a oppose_v of_o the_o know_a truth_n join_v with_o final_a apostasy_n i_o shall_v a_o little_a explain_v these_o word_n and_o then_o proceed_v first_o this_o sin_n unto_o death_n be_v a_o oppose_a sin_n now_o to_o oppose_v a_o thing_n be_v to_o contradict_v it_o or_o gainsay_v it_o when_o a_o man_n say_v a_o thing_n be_v so_o and_o so_o he_o deny_v it_o and_o say_v it_o be_v not_o so_o when_o a_o man_n say_v a_o thing_n must_v be_v do_v he_o say_v again_o it_o must_v not_o nor_o shall_v not_o be_v do_v such_o a_o

it_o be_v the_o truth_n that_o he_o must_v oppose_v that_o be_v he_o must_v utter_o oppose_v and_o reject_v christ_n who_o say_v i_o be_o the_o truth_n joh._n 14.6_o he_o oppose_v all_o his_o threaten_n and_o will_v not_o believe_v his_o promise_n and_o count_v he_o to_o be_v a_o seducer_n of_o the_o people_n and_o count_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o covenant_n to_o be_v any_o unholy_a thing_n nay_o he_o also_o oppose_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n so_o that_o he_o will_v not_o obey_v his_o motion_n and_o will_v not_o be_v lead_v nor_o guide_v by_o he_o but_o a_o man_n may_v oppose_v the_o truth_n and_o yet_o do_v it_o ignorant_a therefore_o three_o it_o must_v be_v the_o know_a truth_n that_o he_o oppose_v he_o must_v be_v once_o enlighten_v but_o you_o must_v know_v that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o notional_a knowledge_n for_o a_o man_n may_v have_v great_a knowledge_n and_o humane_a learning_n he_o may_v know_v much_o of_o

of_o the_o good_a word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o power_n of_o the_o world_n to_o come_v and_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o covenant_n which_o he_o count_v as_o a_o unholy_a thing_n he_o be_v in_o
