and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v doubt_v there_o be_v many_o heretic_n among_o we_o concern_v this_o article_n that_o either_o understand_v it_o not_o or_o at_o least_o believe_v it_o not_o for_o if_o they_o

but_o alas_o because_o charity_n seek_v not_o her_o own_o therefore_o she_o herself_o be_v not_o much_o seek_v after_o and_o while_o charity_n be_v neglect_v this_o article_n stand_v in_o our_o

of_o sin_n and_o indeed_o after_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n this_o article_n follow_v very_o fit_o see_v there_o be_v seldom_o any_o mention_n make_v of_o forgive_a of_o sin_n but_o that_o there_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o charity_n also_o as_o in_o the_o prayer_n teach_v we_o by_o christ_n we_o say_v not_o forgive_v we_o our_o trespass_n but_o say_v withal_o as_o we_o forgive_v they_o that_o trespass_n against_o we_o for_o love_n cover_v the_o multitude_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o sin_n be_v cover_v they_o be_v the_o more_o easy_o forgive_v afterward_o but_o whether_o the_o

forgiveness_n of_o sin_n the_o whole_a world_n shall_v be_v damn_v for_o all_o the_o world_n be_v guilty_a of_o sin_n and_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n if_o that_o wage_n be_v not_o forgive_v how_o shall_v any_o man_n be_v save_v but_o see_v there_o be_v which_o be_v elect_a and_o ordain_v to_o salvation_n this_o make_v i_o assure_o to_o believe_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n if_o we_o shall_v not_o believe_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n why_o have_v we_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v crucify_a for_o why_o be_v he_o crucify_a but_o to_o pay_v the_o penalty_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o the_o penalty_n be_v pay_v how_o can_v the_o sin_n but_o be_v forgive_v to_o what_o end_n be_v all_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n but_o to_o satisfy_v his_o father_n justice_n that_o lay_v

shall_v not_o believe_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n how_o can_v we_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v merciful_a see_v the_o chief_a act_n of_o mercy_n consist_v in_o forgive_a and_o to_o deny_v god_n to_o be_v merciful_a what_o be_v it_o but_o to_o deny_v he_o the_o most_o glorious_a and_o the_o most_o eminent_a of_o all_o his_o attribute_n see_v his_o mercy_n be_v above_o all_o his_o work_n

neither_o be_v there_o any_o bind_v of_o his_o forgive_n and_o therefore_o though_o m●_n sin_n be_v more_o than_o the_o hair_n of_o my_o head_n though_o a_o burden_n far_o great_a than_o i_o can_v

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 the_o uttermost_a of_o our_o belief_n to_o believe_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n be_v there_o no_o place_n for_o believe_v the_o merit_n of_o work_n if_o there_o be_v why_o have_v it_o not_o here_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

but_o for_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o by_o the_o judgement_n of_o these_o apostle_n we_o may_v judge_v of_o the_o rest_n and_o therefore_o no_o defect_n of_o our_o creed_n in_o this_o but_o
