be_v to_o expect_v help_n from_o god_n to_o trust_v in_o god_n be_v to_o rely_v or_o rest_n upon_o god_n for_o help_n and_o to_o wait_v on_o he_o be_v to_o continue_v and_o abide_v in_o this_o

good_a thing_n that_o lie_v out_o of_o sight_n i_o say_v first_o it_o be_v the_o recumbency_n or_o reliance_n of_o the_o soul_n upon_o god_n the_o stay_n of_o the_o soul_n upon_o god_n so_o you_o

of_o this_o speech_n be_v give_v at_o verse_n 30._o because_o they_o say_v he_o have_v a_o unclean_a spirit_n and_o indeed_o if_o these_o man_n do_v not_o sin_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a

you_o shall_v not_o find_v either_o in_o the_o gospel_n or_o in_o the_o epistle_n that_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v any_o where_o mention_v in_o express_a word_n now_o our_o

which_o be_v do_v by_o the_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o without_o doubt_n they_o do_v then_o sin_v the_o unpardonable_a sin_n the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n quest_n 2_o but_o second_o why_o be_v it_o here_o say_v that_o he_o that_o sin_v this_o sin_n shall_v never_o be_v forgive_v either_o in_o this_o world_n or_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v be_v there_o any_o forgive_n of_o

in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v pardon_v in_o this_o world_n when_o any_o temporal_a affliction_n for_o sin_n be_v remove_v so_o i_o also_o understand_v that_o parable_n in_o matth._n 18._o at_o the_o

therefore_o if_o you_o look_v again_o into_o mark_n 3._o you_o shall_v find_v that_o whereas_o here_o in_o matthew_n the_o word_n run_v thus_o shall_v not_o be_v forgive_v either_o in_o this_o world_n

to_o come_v the_o word_n be_v thus_o far_o open_v the_o doctrine_n then_o will_v present_o be_v this_o that_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n doct._n be_v the_o unpardonable_a sin_n that_o
