forgive_v he_o but_o he_o that_o will_v speak_v against_o the_o h._n g._n it_o shall_v not_o be_v forgive_v he_o either_o in_o this_o world_n nor_o in_o future_a i_o argue_v thus_o the_o text_n deny_v to_o a_o blasphemy_n against_o the_o h._n g._n what_o it_o grant_v to_o a_o blasphemy_n against_o the_o son_n of_o man._n but_o what_o it_o deny_v to_o that_o be_v remission_n in_o this_o life_n and_o

be_v forgive_v to_o man_n but_o a_o blasphemy_n against_o the_o h._n g._n be_v it_o nor_o a_o evident_a sequel_n out_o this_o text_n that_o as_o a_o blasphemy_n against_o the_o spirit_n be_v unpardonable_a so_o all_o other_o sin_n be_v pardonable_a but_o a_o blasphemy_n against_o the_o spirit_n be_v unpardonable_a in_o this_o world_n and_o in_o the_o future_a therefore_o other_o sin_n be_v pardonable_a in_o both_o you_o will_v reply_v that_o this_o argument_n prove_v too_o much_o for_o it_o prove_v that_o as_o a_o blasphemy_n against_o the_o h.g._n be_v unpardonable_a in_o the_o other_o life_n not_o only_o as_o to_o the_o punishment_n due_a to_o the_o sin_n but_o also_o as_o to_o the_o guilt_n or_o fault_n so_o other_o sin_n be_v pardonable_a in_o the_o other_o life_n not_o only_o as_o to_o the_o punishment_n due_a to_o sin_n which_o be_v what_o we_o pretend_v but_o also_o as_o to_o the_o fault_n or_o guilt_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v more_o than_o we_o pretend_v for_o we_o teach_v that_o mortal_a sin_n be_v not_o forgive_v as_o to_o the_o guilt_n or_o fault_n in_o the_o other_o world_n therefore_o this_o argument_n prove_v too_o much_o answer_n that_o a_o sin_n may_v be_v say_v unpardonable_a its_o requisite_a that_o nothing_o of_o it_o be_v pardonable_a for_o as_o the_o school_n maxim_n say_v negatio_fw-la totum_fw-la destruit_fw-la whereas_o therefore_o the_o text_n import_v that_o a_o blasphemy_n against_o the_o h._n g._n be_v unpardonable_a in_o this_o life_n and_o the_o future_a it_o follow_v that_o nothing_o either_o the_o guilt_n or_o fault_n of_o it_o or_o the_o punishment_n due_a to_o it_o be_v pardon_v either_o in_o this_o life_n or_o the_o future_a but_o that_o a_o sin_n may_v be_v say_v pardonable_a it_o suffice_v that_o some_o part_n of_o it_o at_o least_o may_v be_v pardon_v whereas_o therefore_o our_o argument_n prove_v that_o sin_n be_v pardonable_a in_o the_o other_o life_n its_o requisite_a that_o some_o part_n of_o it_o be_v pardon_v or_o pardonable_a in_o the_o other_o life_n either_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n or_o the_o punishment_n due_a to_o it_o not_o the_o guilt_n or_o fault_n as_o we_o believe_v and_o prove_v by_o many_o evident_a argument_n therefore_o the_o punishment_n due_a to_o it_o he_o tell_v we_o the_o doctrine_n of_o purgatory_n make_v man_n negligent_a of_o true_a repentance_n and_o satisfaction_n
