Here then we have a description of the Apostasy of the Galatians. It is a voluntary sin (for Paul saith, ye will serve) after the knowledge of the truth, in which they return again to the rudiments of the law, by yielding subjection, and service to them: which act of theirs is indeed as much as if they had served §35again their false gods. Here some may say, if this be so, then they sinned against the holy Ghost. Ans. The sin against the holy Ghost, is indeed a voluntary sin: but that is by reason of the obstinacy and malice of the will: and this offence in the Galatians was voluntate only by infirmity. Again, the ⟨p. 311⟩sin against the holy Ghost is an universal Apostasy, in respect of all the Articles of religion: for that sin makes men crucify Christ crucified, Heb. 6. 5. and to tread under foot the son of God: the Apostasy of the Galatians was particular only in the article of justification.
