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

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 whosoever_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_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 for_o the_o open_n of_o this_o great_a truth_n which_o

if_o you_o ask_v what_o this_o sin_n be_v i_o answer_v both_o negative_o and_o affirmative_o first_o negative_o it_o be_v not_o that_o sin_n whereby_o man_n do_v bare_o deny_v the_o personality_n or_o the_o deity_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n possible_o a_o man_n may_v deny_v the_o personality_n or_o the_o deity_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o yet_o not_o sin_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a

and_o the_o deity_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o yet_o afterward_o repent_v and_o be_v receive_v into_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o church_n and_o you_o do_v not_o find_v that_o these_o pharisee_n who_o be_v here_o charge_v with_o this_o sin_n do_v either_o deny_v the_o personality_n or_o the_o deity_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o that_o plain_o then_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o this_o the_o mere_a and_o bare_a deny_v of_o the_o personality_n or_o the_o deity_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n second_o as_o it_o do_v not_o consist_v therein_o so_o neither_o do_v it_o consist_v in_o every_o opposition_n or_o in_o a_o bare_a opposition_n unto_o the_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o distinct_a from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n unto_o god_n the_o father_n belong_v power_n unto_o the_o son_n wisdom_n unto_o the_o spirit_n holiness_n the_o work_n of_o the_o father_n be_v to_o create_v the_o work_n of_o the_o son_n to_o redeem_v the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n or_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o sanctify_v a●d_v hereupon_o some_o hau●_n think_v that_o opposition_n unto_o holiness_n be_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o you_o find_v here_o it_o be_v a_o blasphemy_n therefore_o not_o every_o opposition_n and_o if_o you_o look_v into_o act_n 7._o you_o find_v that_o stephen_n speak_v of_o the_o jew_n say_v at_o verse_n 51._o you_o stiff_o neck_v and_o uncircumcised_a in_o heart_n and_o ear_n you_o do_v always_o resist_v the_o holy_a ghost_n yet_o they_o do_v not_o sin_v this_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n why_o for_o stephen_n pray_v for_o they_o at_o the_o last_o verse_n lord_n lay_v not_o this_o sin_n to_o their_o charge_n but_o now_o say_v the_o apostle_n john_n in_o 1_o john_n 5.16_o there_o be_v a_o sin_n unto_o death_n i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o you_o shall_v pray_v for_o it_o have_v they_o in_o stephen_n account_n sin_v this_o sin_n unto_o death_n he_o will_v not_o have_v pray_v for_o they_o but_o he_o do_v pray_v for_o they_o so_o that_o this_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o every_o opposition_n unto_o the_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o it_o be_v distinct_a from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n three_o as_o it_o do_v not_o consist_v therein_o so_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o every_o man_n that_o sin_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v be_v a_o universal_a apostate_n backslide_n from_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o power_n thereof_o i_o know_v it_o be_v ordinary_o think_v so_o but_o i_o say_v it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o whosoever_o do_v sin_n the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v be_v a_o gospel_n apostate_n backslide_n from_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o

from_o the_o power_n of_o the_o gospel_n once_o profess_v and_o yet_o they_o sin_v against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n sure_o therefore_o such_o a_o gospel-apostacy_n be_v not_o of_o the_o essence_n of_o

for_o the_o peace_n and_o quiet_a of_o god_n child_n must_v you_o not_o needs_o conclude_v this_o point_n and_o doctrine_n and_o say_v sure_o there_o be_v a_o inward_a peace_n and_o quietness_n of_o

you_o to_o consider_v with_o i_o some_o few_o distinction_n first_n you_o must_v know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o fundamental_a peace_n which_o the_o saint_n and_o people_n of_o god_n have_v and_o there_o be_v a_o additional_a peace_n a_o fundamental_a peace_n which_o do_v natural_o arise_v and_o slow_v from_o their_o justification_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n we_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n rom._n 5._o and_o then_o there_o be_v a_o additional_a peace_n which_o arise_v from_o the_o sense_n of_o their_o justification_n possible_o a_o child_n of_o god_n may_v for_o a_o long_a time_n lose_v the_o latter_a but_o the_o former_a he_o shall_v never_o lose_v as_o a_o woman_n that_o have_v a_o great_a jointure_n go_v abroad_o some_o journey_n and_o meet_v with_o thief_n and_o they_o take_v away_o all_o the_o money_n that_o she_o have_v about_o she_o but_o yet_o say_v she_o though_o they_o have_v take_v away_o my_o spend_a money_n they_o can_v take_v away_o my_o jointure_n i_o have_v not_o lose_v my_o jointure_n so_o now_o the_o saint_n sometime_o may_v lose_v their_o spend_a money_n they_o may_v lose_v the_o peace_n that_o arise_v from_o the_o sense_n of_o their_o justification_n but_o as_o for_o the_o peace_n that_o arise_v and_o issue_v from_o their_o justification_n itself_o the_o first_o peace_n that_o they_o shall_v never_o lose_v peace_n be_v the_o church_n jointure_n and_o that_o peace_n they_o shall_v never_o lose_v second_o you_o must_v know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o peace_n comfort_n and_o joy_n a_o man_n may_v have_v peace_n that_o have_v no_o comfort_n a_o man_n may_v have_v comfort_n that_o have_v no_o joy_n one_o be_v beyond_o the_o other_o one_o a_o degree_n above_o the_o other_o as_o now_o it_o may_v be_v daylight_n and_o yet_o the_o sun_n may_v not_o shine_v forth_o the_o sun_n may_v shine_v forth_o and_o yet_o not_o noonday_n possible_o a_o man_n may_v have_v peace_n and_o yet_o not_o much_o comfort_n only_o stay_v upon_o god_n possible_o a_o man_n may_v have_v comfort_n and_o yet_o not_o much_o joy_n but_o now_o many_o a_o poor_a soul_n think_v because_o he_o have_v no_o joy_n therefore_o he_o have_v no_o comfort_n and_o because_o he_o have_v not_o much_o comfort_n therefore_o no_o peace_n labour_n to_o know_v the_o difference_n between_o these_o three_o you_o must_v know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o peace_n which_o lie_v in_o opposition_n to_o what_o one_o have_v be_v and_o a_o peace_n that_o be_v in_o opposition_n to_o what_o one_o will_v be_v a_o godly_a man_n a_o weak_a christian_a when_o he_o consider_v what_o he_o will_v be_v and_o what_o he_o will_v have_v he_o have_v no_o rest_n nor_o quiet_a but_o now_o come_v unto_o the_o same_o man_n and_o say_v thus_o you_o remember_v what_o a_o

not_o be_v in_o that_o condition_n for_o all_o the_o world_n here_o now_o the_o soul_n have_v peace_n in_o opposition_n to_o what_o it_o have_v be_v though_o it_o have_v not_o peace_n and_o quiet_a in_o opposition_n to_o what_o it_o will_v be_v four_o you_o must_v know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o secret_a dormant_n peace_n and_o there_o be_v a_o waken_v and_o apparent_a peace_n peace_n in_o the_o

rise_v so_o with_o a_o godly_a man_n in_o regard_n of_o his_o peace_n possible_o for_o the_o present_a he_o may_v be_v full_a of_o trouble_n but_o when_o affliction_n come_v and_o the_o hour_n of_o

now_o ask_v such_o a_o weak_a christian_a who_o be_v thus_o full_a of_o fear_n for_o the_o present_a you_o see_v there_o be_v a_o drunkard_n a_o swearer_n a_o wanton_a will_v you_o be_v in_o his_o

by_o feel_v but_o by_o faith_n it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o christian_n to_o begin_v with_o faith_n and_o so_o to_o ri●e_v up_o to_o feel_n you_o will_v begin_v with_o feeling_n and_o so_o come_v
