holy_a ghost_n though_o they_o be_v very_o fearful_a sin_n see_v they_o have_v be_v commit_v by_o god_n own_a servant_n and_o also_o pardon_v unto_o they_o example_n we_o have_v of_o the_o one_o in_o

now_o god_n assist_v we_o punctual_o to_o entreat_v know_v two_o cause_n why_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v be_v make_v know_v and_o see_v it_o be_v so_o great_a a_o sin_n yea_o the_o great_a sin_n and_o such_o a_o sin_n as_o shall_v not_o be_v forgive_v it_o be_v most_o necessary_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v distinguish_v and_o make_v know_v from_o all_o other_o sin_n and_o that_o for_o two_o cause_n especial_o the_o one_o to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o know_v the_o danger_n thereof_o shall_v evermore_o most_o careful_o fly_v far_o off_o from_o so_o deep_a pit_n of_o

unto_o god_n people_n yea_o even_o unto_o they_o which_o be_v more_o simple_a lest_o satan_n shall_v make_v any_o to_o believe_v or_o think_v who_o be_v fall_v or_o slide_v into_o some_o other_o pit_n of_o sin_n near_o or_o somewhat_o like_a unto_o this_o that_o they_o be_v plunge_v in_o this_o deep_a gulf_n of_o perdition_n never_o more_o to_o be_v recover_v for_o as_o we_o must_v not_o be_v ignorant_a of_o satan_n slight_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v so_o must_v christ_n his_o minister_n above_o all_o other_o be_v as_o careful_a and_o ready_a to_o prevent_v he_o and_o to_o instruct_v god_n child_n in_o all_o such_o point_n of_o sound_a doctrine_n as_o be_v require_v either_o for_o comfort_n or_o instruction_n wherefore_o in_o my_o poor_a understanding_n they_o be_v worthy_a in_o this_o particular_a to_o be_v blame_v who_o though_o they_o will_v not_o speak_v against_o preach_v in_o general_a yet_o will_v they_o by_o no_o mean_n allow_v all_o the_o doctrine_n reveal_v in_o

either_o read_v or_o preach_v to_o the_o people_n for_o fear_n forsooth_o lest_o some_o will_v take_v thereupon_o the_o more_o liberty_n of_o sin_v as_o though_o because_o grace_n do_v abound_v therefore_o sin_n shall_v abound_v which_o be_v only_o the_o fault_n of_o graceless_a person_n but_o never_o of_o any_o of_o god_n child_n last_o of_o all_o many_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o this_o

all_o other_o point_n of_o divinity_n and_o some_o of_o these_o above_o many_o other_o point_n of_o divinity_n ought_v very_o religious_o and_o discreet_o to_o be_v teach_v and_o preach_v unto_o the_o

god_n of_o purpose_n have_v declare_v in_o his_o word_n to_o be_v open_v and_o reveal_v be_v sarre_o from_o all_o divinity_n to_o speak_v the_o best_a of_o it_o and_o nothing_o agree_v with_o the_o rule_n and_o practice_n of_o saint_n paul_n 20.35_o act_n 20.35_o that_o great_a doctor_n of_o we_o gentile_n who_o boast_v and_o take_v exceed_v comfort_n thereby_o unto_o himself_o that_o he_o have_v reveal_v to_o his_o auditory_a at_o time_n all_o the_o council_n of_o god_n that_o be_v not_o all_o that_o god_n have_v or_o do_v keep_v secret_a to_o himself_o but_o all_o that_o god_n have_v or_o have_v reveal_v unto_o the_o apostle_n either_o open_o in_o his_o word_n or_o by_o any_o secret_a revelation_n from_o heaven_n which_o point_v so_o reveal_v unto_o that_o holy_a apostle_n as_o

the_o succeed_a minister_n of_o jesus_n christ_n wherefore_o if_o we_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n will_v expect_v to_o have_v the_o same_o comfort_n in_o our_o calling_n that_o saint_n paul_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n have_v we_o must_v take_v the_o same_o course_n in_o teach_v which_o they_o have_v do_v namely_o to_o publish_v the_o secree_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o be_v all_o which_o god_n have_v reveal_v in_o his_o word_n so_o far_o as_o our_o knowledge_n may_v attain_v unto_o and_o true_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o premise_n do_v partly_o induce_v my_o mind_n at_o the_o first_o to_o determine_v upon_o this_o text_n and_o to_o speak_v of_o this_o fin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o my_o text_n direct_v i_o to_o speak_v of_o leffer_n sin_n against_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n i_o think_v and_o god_n i_o trust_v direct_v my_o thought_n it_o shall_v be_v to_o some_o purpose_n to_o speak_v of_o the_o great_a or_o great_a of_o all_o observe_v this_o not_o by_o the_o way_n worthy_a to_o be_v remember_v that_o though_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n may_v be_v know_v and_o be_v reveal_v in_o the_o scripture_n yet_o the_o sinner_n be_v not_o easy_o rather_o not_o at_o all_o to_o be_v point_v at_o nor_o to_o be_v judge_v of_o man_n but_o to_o be_v leave_v to_o the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n one_o reason_n hereof_o may_v be_v because_o final_a impenitency_n must_v accompany_v this_o sin_n which_o can_v easy_o be_v discern_v of_o man_n one_o note_n more_o before_o we_o enter_v into_o the_o description_n of_o this_o sin_n will_v be_v observe_v which_o a_o learned_a man_n have_v well_o note_v and_o therefore_o i_o will_v use_v his_o own_o word_n blasphemia_fw-la in_o spiritum_fw-la sanctum_fw-la non_fw-la

the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o simple_o to_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o essence_n of_o god_n spirit_n nor_o to_o his_o person_n for_o so_o in_o sin_v against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n we_o sin_n in_o like_a manner_n against_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v that_o in_o so_o blaspheme_v we_o sin_n against_o the_o good_a gift_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n wherewith_o we_o have_v former_o be_v enlighten_v now_o come_v we_o in_o godsfeare_n to_o speak_v of_o the_o sin_n itself_o what_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o we_o have_v already_o partly_o note_v to_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v not_o proper_o not_o only_a blasphemy_n against_o god_n the_o father_n not_o against_o the_o son_n nor_o every_o blasphemy_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o grieve_v of_o god_n spirit_n nor_o refi_v of_o god_n spirit_n nor_o backslide_n or_o fall_v from_o god_n and_o his_o truth_n through_o fear_n or_o any_o other_o infirmity_n nor_o persecute_v of_o god_n church_n and_o child_n through_o ignorance_n neither_o be_v it_o any_o particular_a fin_n commit_v against_o the_o first_o or_o second_o table_n neither_o be_v it_o final_a impenitency_n as_o some_o of_o the_o father_n have_v affirm_v for_o there_o be_v thousand_o which_o never_o true_a lie_v repent_v which_o never_o yet_o commit_v this_o sin_n therefore_o if_o one_o say_v well_o qui_fw-la impenitentiam_fw-la esse_fw-la definiunt_fw-la nullo_n n●g●tio_fw-la refelli_fw-la possunt_fw-la but_o rather_o it_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v such_o a_o sin_n which_o contain_v in_o some_o sort_n all_o these_o sin_n and_o more_o too_o

because_o who_o so_o commit_v this_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v hardly_o acquit_v himself_o of_o any_o sin_n whereunto_o final_a impenitency_n must_v be_v add_v before_o this_o sin_n can_v be_v judge_v by_o man_n to_o be_v at_o the_o high_a now_o what_o this_o peculiar_a and_o proper_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v shall_v best_o be_v discuss_v and_o define_v 12.31_o

and_o well_o observe_v who_o and_o what_o manner_n of_o person_n they_o be_v to_o who_o our_o saviour_n object_v this_o sin_n which_o be_v easy_o to_o be_v collect_v out_o of_o the_o history_n

so_o much_o to_o understand_v close_o by_o the_o conclusion_n of_o his_o speech_n that_o these_o pharisy_n be_v sinner_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o who_o example_n we_o be_v admonish_v as_o
