With an annexed epistle of comfort from one friend to another, wherin the Anabaptists error of desperation is briefly confuted, and the sinne against the holy Ghost plainly declared.

repent_v and_o return_v again_o unto_o christ_n for_o albeit_o his_o faith_n be_v weak_a and_o faint_a as_o be_v the_o faith_n of_o all_o the_o apostle_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o utter_o extinct_a 22._o

christ_n say_v not_o he_o that_o deny_v i_o i_o shall_v deny_v he_o though_o he_o repent_v and_o return_v but_o remember_v well_o that_o christ_n say_v 9_o mat._n 9_o i_o come_v not_o to_o call_v

wherefore_o good_a madam_n in_o this_o hard_a text_n of_o saint_n paul_n unto_o the_o hebrew_n way_n well_o this_o condition_n if_o they_o fall_v away_o for_o they_o only_o fall_v away_o which_o

forgive_v unto_o man_n loe_o here_o be_v the_o matter_n plain_o open_v by_o our_o saviour_n christ_n what_o kind_n of_o sin_n shall_v be_v forgive_v and_o what_o never_o forgive_v blasphemy_n against_o the_o spirit_n shall_v never_o be_v forgive_v all_o other_o sin_n and_o blasphemy_n shall_v be_v forgive_v and_o christ_n in_o say_v all_o sin_n shall_v be_v forgive_v comprise_v both_o original_a sin_n spirit_n three_o sort_n of_o sin_n sin_n blasphemy_n blasphemy_n against_o the_o spirit_n and_o also_o actual_a sin_n moreover_o christ_n speak_v here_o of_o three_o sort_n of_o sin_n the_o first_o he_o call_v sin_n the_o second_o blasphemy_n and_o the_o three_o blaspheme_v against_o the_o spirit_n which_o the_o scripture_n also_o call_v the_o sin_n unto_o death_n and_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n these_o three_o kind_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o difference_n of_o every_o of_o they_o i_o intend_v by_o god_n help_v several_o to_o declare_v unto_o you_o so_o short_o as_o i_o can_v and_o so_o for_o this_o time_n tommit_v you_o unto_o god_n and_o first_o consider_v well_o what_o sin_n be_v sin_n sinne._n sinne._n be_v every_o wilful_a disobedience_n act_n or_o

which_o be_v the_o maker_n and_o giver_n of_o the_o law_n as_o be_v idolatry_n superstition_n perjury_n swear_v unaduised_o break_v of_o the_o holy_a day_n dishonour_v father_n and_o mother_n murder_n malice_n hatred_n envy_n wrath_n strife_n treason_n sedition_n slander_n whoredom_n theft_n and_o such_o like_a all_o these_o and_o such_o other_o be_v call_v and_o be_v indeed_o sin_n so_o long_o as_o the_o doer_n of_o they_o do_v neither_o murmur_n repine_v grudge_n nor_o speak_v evil_a against_o god_n or_o his_o holy_a law_n neither_o allow_v in_o their_o conscience_n the_o thing_n and_o

second_o kind_n of_o sin_n be_v blasphemy_n mark_v it_o well_o and_o consider_v how_o it_o differ_v first_o from_o sin_n and_o then_o from_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n blasphemy_n blasphemy_n blasphemy_n be_v more_o heinous_a than_o be_v sin_n alone_o for_o all_o blasphemy_n be_v sin_n but_o all_o sin_n be_v not_o blasphemy_n for_o truth_n it_o be_v that_o blasphemy_n comprise_v in_o itself_o both_o sin_n &_o also_o a_o murmur_n grudge_n revile_v evil_o speak_v slander_n and_o reproach_n of_o god_n and_o godliness_n but_o it_o be_v always_o couple●_n with_o ignorance_n and_o unbelief_n and_o proceed_v not_o of_o such_o obstinate_a malice_n as_o continue_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o life_n as_o do_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o this_o sin_n of_o blasphemy_n saint_n paul_n offend_v before_o his_o conversion_n unto_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n jesu_n for_o thus_o he_o speakkth_v of_o himself_o before_o i_o be_v a_o blasphemer_n 2_o 2._o tim._n 2_o and_o a_o persecutor_n and_o a_o tyrant_n but_o i_o obtain_v mercy_n because_o i_o do_v it_o ignorant_o in_o unbelief_n lo_o here_o it_o be_v plain_a and_o evident_a that_o this_o blasphemy_n though_o it_o be_v a_o great_a offence_n yet_o it_o be_v remissible_a and_o forgiveable_a and_o be_v not_o exclude_v from_o grace_n and_o mercy_n because_o it_o proceed_v of_o ignorance_n and_o not_o of_o knowledge_n nor_o of_o obstinate_a malice_n that_o do_v endure_v to_o the_o life_n end_n neither_o be_v it_o the_o sin_n unto_o death_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v lawful_o pray_v for_o such_o blasphemer_n as_o saint_n john_n say_v 5_o 2_o john_n 5_o if_o any_o man_n see_v his_o brother_n sin_n a_o sin_n not_o unto_o death_n let_v he_o ask_v and_o he_o shall_v give_v he_o life_n in_o this_o simple_a blsphemy_n for_o so_o we_o may_v call_v it_o many_o of_o the_o jew_n offend_v take_v christ_n to_o be_v nothing_o less_o than_o the_o son_n of_o david_n or_o messiah_n because_o his_o parent_n be_v very_o poor_a and_o himself_o suppose_v to_o be_v but_o a_o poor_a carpenter_n son_n which_o bear_v but_o a_o simple_a port_n in_o the_o world_n yea_o and_o some_o of_o they_o that_o crucify_v christ_n be_v overwhelm_v in_o this_o simple_a blasphemy_n and_o therefore_o christ_n pray_v for_o they_o say_v father_n forgive_v they_o for_o they_o know_v not_o what_o they_o do_v 23._o luc._n 23._o so_o peter_n in_o his_o sermon_n excuse_v the_o crucifier_n of_o christ_n say_v now_o dear_a brother_n i_o know_v that_o you_o have_v do_v it_o through_o ignorance_n etc._n etc._n 3._o act_n 3._o repent_v you_o therefore_o and_o return_v that_o your_o sin_n may_v be_v do_v away_o so_o do_v saint_n steven_n also_o pray_v for_o his_o persecutor_n who_o before_o he_o call_v stifnecked_a 7._o act_n 7._o adversary_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n traitor_n and_o murderer_n of_o christ_n doubtless_o he_o will_v not_o have_v pray_v for_o they_o so_o earnest_o unless_o their_o sin_n have_v be_v forgiveable_a and_o therefore_o their_o sin_n and_o offence_n be_v no_o more_o but_o simple_a blasphemy_n the_o three_o kind_n of_o sin_n be_v blasphemy_n against_o the_o spirit_n they_o commit_v blasphemy_n against_o the_o spirit_n spirit_n blasphemy_n against_o the_o spirit_n or_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o willing_o upon_o knowledge_n and_o
