there_o be_v such_o a_o sin_n as_o st._n john_n speak_v of_o here_o in_o my_o text_n that_o be_v a_o sin_n unto_o death_n and_o now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o explication_n of_o the_o word_n from_o whence_o i_o shall_v raise_v this_o point_n of_o doctrine_n doct._n that_o among_o other_o sin_n commit_v by_o fall_v mankind_n there_o be_v only_o one_o sin_n that_o be_v a_o sin_n unto_o death_n and_o whosoever_o commit_v that_o he_o 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 for_o my_o further_a proceed_v on_o the_o subject_a i_o shall_v lay_v open_a to_o you_o first_o what_o the_o sin_n unto_o death_n be_v second_o that_o all_o other_o sin_n how_o great_a and_o heinous_a soever_o may_v be_v forgive_v three_o that_o this_o sin_n alone_o shall_v never_o be_v forgive_v four_o the_o reason_n why_o that_o sin_n alone_o be_v unpardonable_a and_o then_o last_o i_o shall_v conclude_v all_o with_o a_o few_o word_n of_o application_n i_o shall_v begin_v first_o with_o the_o description_n of_o this_o unpardonable_a sin_n where_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o make_v as_o plain_a a_o description_n of_o it_o as_o possible_a i_o can_v and_o in_o do_v of_o it_o i_o shall_v first_o show_v you_o negative_o what_o be_v not_o this_o sin_n second_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o positive_o what_o it_o be_v first_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o negative_o what_o be_v not_o this_o sin_n unto_o death_n or_o in_o what_o degree_n a_o man_n may_v sin_v and_o yet_o not_o commit_v that_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n first_n it_o be_v not_o every_o quench_n of_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v that_o sin_n it_o be_v true_a when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n come_v with_o a_o still_a voice_n and_o knock_v at_o the_o door_n of_o sinner_n heart_n for_o entrance_n he_o often_o come_v and_o strive_v with_o they_o and_o secret_o woo_v and_o beseech_v they_o to_o leave_v their_o sin_n and_o be_v convert_v yet_o they_o quench_v and_o stifle_v all_o his_o motion_n and_o bear_v up_o their_o heart_n against_o he_o and_o will_v not_o be_v obedient_a to_o his_o heavenly_a call_n now_o such_o sin_n grievous_o against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o yet_o this_o alone_a be_v not_o the_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o many_o who_o have_v stand_v it_o out_o a_o long_a time_n and_o have_v often_o quench_v and_o grieve_v the_o holy_a spirit_n yet_o at_o last_o they_o have_v be_v wrought_v upon_o unto_o sincere_a conversion_n second_o a_o man_n may_v commit_v many_o heinous_a and_o cry_a sin_n and_o yet_o not_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o idolater_n a_o whoremonger_n a_o fornicator_n a_o murderer_n and_o work_v witchcraft_n and_o sin_n with_o a_o very_a high_a hand_n nay_o he_o may_v live_v in_o all_o manner_n of_o filthiness_n and_o lewdness_n and_o yet_o not_o be_v under_o the_o guilt_n of_o the_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n thus_o we_o read_v 2_o chron._n 33._o that_o manasses_n sin_v with_o a_o very_a high_a hand_n he_o be_v a_o idolater_n a_o enchanter_n and_o work_v witchcraft_n and_o deal_v with_o familiar_a spirit_n and_o wrought_v much_o evil_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o mary_n magdalen_n have_v seven_o devil_n cast_v out_o of_o she_o luke_n 8.2_o and_o yet_o both_o be_v pardon_v three_o a_o man_n may_v sin_n presumptuous_o against_o great_a light_n and_o knowledge_n and_o yet_o not_o commit_v this_o sin_n unto_o death_n for_o peter_n when_o he_o deny_v christ_n he_o do_v it_o against_o great_a knowledge_n

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 opposition_n be_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o he_o that_o commit_v this_o unpardonable_a sin_n but_o a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o oppose_a man_n and_o yet_o can_v commit_v this_o sin_n therefore_o second_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 god_n and_o of_o his_o will_n in_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o word_n and_o yet_o not_o be_v capable_a of_o commit_v this_o unpardonable_a sin_n but_o he_o must_v be_v so_o far_o enlighten_v as_o to_o see_v the_o evil_a that_o be_v in_o sin_n and_o the_o excellency_n of_o christ_n he_o must_v taste_v of_o the_o heavenly_a gift_n and_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o taste_v 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 part_n sanctify_a and_o cleanse_v from_o many_o sin_n he_o must_v have_v sweet_a communion_n with_o god_n in_o his_o word_n and_o sacrament_n he_o must_v have_v some_o taste_n of_o the_o love_n and_o
