unto you ho● that they are prone unto all manner of sin● as well as the sinne of unbeliefe but no● you see a blessed change in them Ther●●fore the sinne of unbeliefe cannot be 〈◊〉 sinne against the holy Ghost as some ide●● have affirmed I now will in a word or two shew yo● how that the Saints of God can fall into 〈◊〉 unpardonable sinnes though they may fa●● into many great sinnes as you heard Yet say for the comfort of all distressed consciences that are incumbred with false feare from false grounds whose feare becau●● their sinnes appeare great in their apprehension and so from a false ground as said before Therefore from hence they conclude that they have sinned against the holy Ghost and that thus their sinnes are unpardonable Therefore for the helping o● such poore distressed consciences out of these false feares and to satisfie their consciences that they have committed this unpardonable sinne I addes these two reasons ●●r their satisfaction The first Reason is this because all the ●●ints of God are all borne of God Joh. 5. 18. That is they are Regenera●●d and thus made new creatures Joh. 3. 3 ●●d so are saved Tit. 3. 5. and clensed Cor. 6. 11. by the Spirit of their God ●●d so enter in with the Lord Jesus who is ●●e doore Joh. 1. 10. and enter into the ●●ait gate Luk. 13. 24. who is the Way the truth and the life Joh. 14. 6. You Saints that are full of false feares ●●t me speake unto you I say that you cannot commit this unpardonable sinne be●●use the Father gave his Sonne unto this ●●ery end and purpose for to redeeme his ●●ople from their sinnes Tit. 2. 14. I say ●ehovah hath for his owne names sake for●●ven all your sinnes Isa. 43. 23 44 22. ●er 31. 22 32 31 33 33 6. And Heb. ● 12. Mich. 7. 18 19. Psal. 103. 13. Who 〈◊〉 a God like unto thee that will pardon the ●●iquities of the remnant of his heritage and ●ill subdue them into the bottome of the Seas The second Reason is The Lord Jesus ●nd his Saints have all one onenesse ● Cor. 5. 7. They that be joyned unto the Lord Jesus they be one Spirit yea one ●● union one in love one with the Lord Jesus and with all the three Persons in all the glorious Trinitie See to this purpose Ioh. 17. 23 25 26. I in them and they ●● me I say God is aboundantly glorious unto beleevers yea to multiply pardon Isa. 55. 7. And for a farther Relation of Gods fro● mercy in pardoning of those that turn unto him I note these severall places 〈◊〉 Scriptures for confirmation 2 Chron. 30 9● 33 12 13. Gen. 18. 15. Exod. 6. 1 9 11 26 ● 7 20 6 34 7 8. Numb. 20. 8. Deut. 4. 30 31 5 10 17 18 28 1 15 v. 30 1 11 32 4 3 6 10. 2. Sam. 7 8 9 15 12 13 24 10 11 13 1 King 8. 23. Levit. 20. 5 10. Nehem. 9. 17. Psal. 21. 7 35 5 7 5 10 86 5 10 111 4. Psal. 145. Isa. 30. 18 54 8 9 10 55 3 7. Ier. 12. 15 16 18 8. Ezek. 18. 32 33 14 15 16. Hos. 2. 14 19 23. Ioel. 2. 13. Ion. 4. 2. Ier. 3. 2 12 14 Luk. 1. 50 58 72. Luk. 18. 4 6 36. Luk. 7. 47 23 34 43. Rom. 4. 7. 2 Cor. 1. 3. Ephesi 2. 4. 1 Tim. 1. 13 15 16 18. These places of Scripture doe set forth the freenesse of Gods love unto all beleevers Yea I say they doe shew the freenesse of Gods love in his shewing of mercy and in manifesting of it unto all beleevers who I say shall never come into condemnation because the Lord Jesus Christ hath cast out of them the sin of condemnation Rom. 8. 1. Thus you may see that all beleevers be happy and blessed Oh! the blessednesse of that man as it is in the originall Rom. 8. 32 ●9 vers. Who shall lay any thing unto the charge of Gods chosen It is God that justifieth Who shall condemne It is Christ which is dead yea rather which is risen from the dead who is also at the right hand of God and maketh request for us Who shall separate us from the love of Christ shall Tribulation or Anguish or Persecution or Famine or Nakednesse or Perill or Sword As it is written for thy sake are we killed all the day long we are accounted as sheepe for the slaughter In these words the sure state of the saints is set forth unto us to shew Gods Omnipotent will and purpose which never changes It is not the Divell nor any belonging unto him can alter Gods ●ove to his Saints or doe them any wrong Christ I say hath set them in a glorious libertie Gal. 5. 1. Ioh. 8. 38. Now I come to shew unto you what the sinne against the ●oly Ghost is The sinne against the holy Spirit i● when a man hath been inlightned with the heavenly truth Christ Jesus by the holy Spirit of the Father who is that Spirit of truth spoken of Ioh. 14. 26. Whose office is to seale us unto the day of redemption Ephesi 4. 30. And then not onely strive against that truth but also blaspheme that truth as the Jewes did saying He casteth out Devill● by Belzebub the Prince of the Devills And thus shall wittingly and willingly against the checks of his owne conscience persecute that truth in his members the Saints because he knows that it is the truth therefore he is of purpose resolved to oppose that sacred truth and to despise that sacred light wherwith he was inlightned also esteeming that sacred blood of Christ as nothing treading it under foot And thus out of a pernicious spirit most wickedly persecutes the truth in his members even the sons and daughters of truth because he knowes that they are the subjects of that sacred truth This is the sinne against the holy Ghost I say The persons that commit this sinne must be knowing persons and men of knowledge Such a one was Julian the Apostate ☞ who notwithstanding his certaine knowledge of Christ to be the Sonne of God yet against knowledge fell off and became a great persecutor of Christ They must be such as are acquainted with the Truth even the Lord Jesus being enlightened with the saving Light of the holy Spirit such were the Scribes and Judas and many other Reprobates which the Scripture speakes of in many places Judas sinned against his Knowledge and Conscience Cain also in like manner against Knowledge and Conscience his Conscience at that very time informing him that Elshaddai the strong and omnipotent God had respect unto the offering of righteous Abel and that his person was accepted according unto the rule of the Law perfect shall it be accepted Although Cain knew that God had a respect unto his brother Abel and to his offering yet notwithstanding hee did against his knowledge persecute his brother as S. Iohn sayth Abels
