god_n the_o apostle_n express_o declare_v rom._n 9_o 5._o where_n speak_v of_o christ_n he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v over_o all_o god_n bless_v for_o ever_o and_o so_o st._n john_n we_o be_v in_o he_o

even_o with_o the_o price_n of_o the_o most_o precious_a blood_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n you_o be_v strong_o oblige_v to_o glorify_v god_n in_o your_o body_n and_o in_o your_o spirit_n which_o be_v his_o 1_o cor._n 6._o 20._o three_o you_o be_v faithful_o to_o believe_v in_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o sanctify_v you_o and_o all_o the_o elect_a people_n of_o god_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v god_n be_v plain_a from_o act_n the_o 5_o verse_n the_o 3_o d._n and_o the_o four_o in_o the_o 3_o d._n verse_n st_n peter_n propose_v this_o question_n why_o have_v satan_n fill_v thy_o heart_n to_o lie_v to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o because_o ananias_n thus_o lie_v to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n he_o tell_v he_o verse_n the_o four_o thou_o have_v not_o lie_v unto_o man_n but_o unto_o god_n nay_o before_o that_o when_o the_o pharisee_n upon_o our_o saviour_n cast_v out_o a_o devil_n ascribe_v the_o operation_n to_o belzebub_n the_o prince_n of_o devil_n our_o saviour_n call_v this_o sin_n that_o blasphemy_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o shall_v never_o be_v forgive_v by_o which_o word_n the_o most_o learned_a and_o reverend_a bishop_n pearson_n observe_v among_o several_a other_o argument_n to_o that_o purpose_n that_o it_o appear_v that_o there_o be_v a_o sin_n or_o blasphemy_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n distinct_a from_o all_o other_o sin_n and_o blasphemy_n commit_v against_o god_n the_o father_n or_o the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o this_o sin_n have_v a_o aggravation_n add_v unto_o it_o beyond_o other_o sin_n and_o blasphemy_n but_o if_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v no_o person_n the_o sin_n can_v not_o

be_v distinct_a from_o those_o sin_n which_o be_v commit_v against_o he_o who_o spirit_n he_o be_v and_o if_o he_o be_v a_o person_n create_v the_o sin_n can_v receive_v no_o such_o aggravation_n beyond_o other_o sin_n and_o blasphemy_n and_o consequent_o it_o remain_v that_o he_o be_v god_n but_o we_o be_v not_o only_o to_o believe_v this_o spirit_n to_o be_v god_n but_o also_o that_o he_o be_v the_o sanctifier_n of_o we_o and_o of_o all_o the_o elect_a people_n of_o god_n for_o what_o can_v be_v more_o positive_a and_o plain_a than_o that_o the_o sanctification_n of_o god_n people_n be_v ascribe_v to_o this_o holy_a spirit_n for_o thus_o it_o run_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n elect_v according_a to_o the_o foreknowledge_n of_o god_n the_o father_n through_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o spirit_n 1_o pet._n 1._o 2._o and_o therefore_o from_o this_o principle_n of_o your_o belief_n you_o can_v but_o infer_v this_o to_o be_v your_o duty_n that_o since_o you_o be_v a_o choose_a generation_n a_o royal_a priesthood_n a_o holy_a nation_n a_o peculiar_a people_n you_o be_v oblige_v to_o show_v forth_o his_o praise_n who_o have_v call_v you_o out_o of_o darkness_n into_o his_o marvellous_a light_n 1_o pet._n 2._o 9_o thus_o then_o in_o the_o divine_a essence_n which_o be_v but_o one_o there_o be_v three_o distinct_a person_n viz._n the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n thus_o plain_o distinguish_v by_o their_o peculiar_a property_n nay_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o only_o mention_v these_o property_n but_o also_o proceed_v to_o the_o exact_a number_n of_o these_o agent_n or_o person_n in_o the_o divine_a essence_n for_o there_o be_v three_o that_o bear_v record_n in_o heaven_n the_o father_n the_o word_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o these_o three_o be_v one_o 1_o john_n 5._o 7._o and_o so_o again_o jesus_n when_o he_o be_v baptize_v go_v up_o straightway_o out_o of_o the_o water_n and_o lo_o the_o heaven_n be_v open_v unto_o he_o and_o he_o see_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n descend_v like_o a_o dove_n and_o light_v upon_o he_o and_o lo_o a_o voice_n from_o heaven_n say_v this_o be_v my_o belove_a son_n in_o who_o i_o be_o well_o please_v mat._n 3._o 16._o 17._o i_o mention_v no_o more_o place_n to_o this_o purpose_n though_o many_o occur_v lest_o i_o shall_v swell_v this_o little_a piece_n beyond_o

son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o distinction_n of_o agent_n or_o person_n there_o be_v but_o one_o entire_a essence_n for_o there_o be_v none_o other_o god_n

here_o come_v in_o a_o main_a rule_n fot_o thy_o practice_n since_o there_o be_v a_o god_n since_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n therefore_o thou_o shall_v worship_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o
