in_o regard_n of_o the_o son_n be_v incarnate_a and_o take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o for_o this_o indeed_o bring_v in_o many_o point_n to_o be_v believe_v whereof_o consider_v only_o as_o the_o

the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o have_v but_o one_o nature_n the_o doctrine_n concern_v the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v in_o all_o age_n be_v most_o obscure_a so_o much_o that_o in_o some_o church_n it_o be_v

church_n of_o great_a extent_n differ_v thus_o from_o we_o that_o where_o we_o believe_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n that_o church_n believe_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n by_o the_o son_n a_o nice_a difference_n in_o so_o incomprehensible_a a_o mystery_n that_o there_o seem_v no_o just_a cause_n to_o lay_v such_o anathemaes_n as_o some_o do_v upon_o that_o church_n for_o so_o believe_v if_o we_o shall_v believe_v in_o the_o father_n and_o in_o the_o son_n and_o not_o believe_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n this_o belief_n will_v never_o be_v sanctify_v see_v the_o holy_a ghost_n only_o be_v the_o sanctifier_n and_o sanctify_v none_o that_o believe_v not_o in_o he_o and_o the_o belief_n not_o be_v sanctify_v will_v never_o be_v acceptable_a to_o the_o father_n himself_o notwithstanding_o our_o belief_n in_o he_o and_o this_o perhaps_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o offer_n of_o cain_n be_v not_o accept_v because_o though_o a_o sacrifice_n yet_o it_o want_v a_o devotion_n sanctify_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n there_o be_v a_o sin_n which_o be_v proper_o call_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o for_o they_o that_o commit_v this_o sin_n we_o be_v forbid_v to_o pray_v a_o grievous_a sin_n no_o doubt_n which_o stop_v the_o current_n of_o charity_n who_o nature_n be_v wont_a to_o

that_o it_o leave_v scruple_n but_o whatsoever_o it_o be_v or_o may_v be_v we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o the_o not-beleeving_a in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v one_o principal_a ingredient_n in_o it_o or_o rather_o where_o a_o true_a believe_a in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v this_o sin_n proper_o can_v never_o be_v commit_v and_o therefore_o in_o make_v profession_n of_o our_o faith_n there_o be_v none_o of_o all_o the_o article_n in_o the_o whole_a creed_n that_o seem_v more_o necessary_a to_o be_v say_v then_o this_o for_o by_o say_v this_o article_n we_o make_v it_o appear_v there_o can_v be_v no_o danger_n in_o pray_v for_o we_o as_o not_o be_v likely_a to_o commit_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o believe_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o why_o be_v it_o that_o sin_n commit_v against_o the_o father_n or_o the_o son_n shall_v be_v forgive_v but_o a_o sin_n commit_v against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v never_o be_v forgive_v neither_o in_o this_o world_n nor_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v be_v it_o not_o that_o if_o a_o sin_n be_v commit_v against_o the_o father_n or_o the_o son_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v the_o sanctifier_n can_v sanctify_v that_o sin_n and_o make_v it_o pardonable_a but_o if_o a_o sin_n be_v commit_v against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n there_o be_v none_o to_o sanctify_v it_o and_o not_o be_v sanctify_v it_o just_o exceed_v all_o bound_n of_o remission_n o_o therefore_o thou_o bless_a god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n vouchsafe_v to_o endue_v i_o with_o a_o spirit_n of_o sanctification_n that_o what_o other_o sin_n soever_o i_o may_v happy_o unhappy_o commit_v yet_o i_o may_v never_o be_v so_o unhappy_a to_o commit_v this_o dreadful_a sin_n of_o sin_v against_o thou_o when_o we_o read_v the_o order_n of_o the_o person_n in_o the_o

who_o be_v all_o go-eternall_a or_o any_o disparity_n between_o they_o in_o dignity_n who_o be_v all_o consubstantial_a but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o express_v of_o order_n only_o to_o our_o capacity_n

which_o mystery_n though_o it_o exceed_v our_o capacity_n yet_o not_o our_o belief_n or_o therefore_o the_o fit_a for_o belief_n because_o it_o exceed_v our_o capacity_n and_o now_o have_v profess_v our_o belief_n in_o god_n the_o father_n god_n the_o son_n and_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n we_o may_v just_o conclude_v and_o say_v o_o holy_a bless_a and_o glorious_a trinity_n three_o person_n

we_o can_v true_o believe_v these_o if_o we_o do_v not_o believe_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n we_o can_v not_o believe_v the_o holy_a catholic_a church_n nor_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n for_o these_o be_v benefit_n that_o come_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o if_o we_o do_v not_o believe_v in_o the_o son_n of_o god_n christ_n jesus_n we_o can_v not_o believe_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o

and_o the_o first_o article_n of_o this_o kind_n be_v this_o church_n i_o believe_v the_o holy_a catholic_a church_n i_o believe_v the_o holy_a catholic_a church_n i_o believe_v it_o in_o deed_n but_o

bound_v within_o canaan_n but_o now_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v make_v the_o church_n holy_a by_o sanctify_v it_o so_o christ_n have_v make_v it_o catholic_a by_o enlarge_a it_o for_o at_o

the_o true_a church_n be_v only_o in_o africa_n but_o by_o believe_v the_o holy_a catholic_a church_n i_o now_o disclaim_v both_o these_o church_n the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n as_o not_o be_v

enough_o and_o yet_o leave_v this_o article_n out_o of_o his_o creed_n indeed_o there_o be_v not_o only_o great_a use_n of_o it_o but_o even_o necessity_n for_o
the_o forgiveness_n of_o a_o sin_n which_o shall_v never_o be_v forgive_v for_o be_v there_o not_o a_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o shall_v never_o be_v forgive_v either_o in_o this_o

be_v but_o be_v it_o not_o that_o the_o chief_a ingredient_n of_o that_o sin_n be_v the_o not-beleeving_a the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o therefore_o he_o that_o true_o believe_v this_o article_n be_v never_o likely_a to_o commit_v that_o sin_n see_v the_o believe_a being_n from_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n can_v never_o be_v commit_v but_o be_v this_o

a_o place_n in_o our_o creed_n indeed_o in_o the_o pharisee_n creed_n it_o may_v perhaps_o have_v a_o place_n but_o in_o the_o penitent_a publican_n creed_n such_o as_o we_o profess_v ourselves_o to_o
