Perhaps you will object, That the sin against the Holy Ghost also is a damning sin, and so a breach of the Covenant. To which I answer, Final Unbelief is the Genus, and hath under it these three sorts. 1. Ordinary final Unbelief, viz. against Ordinary means. 2. The sin against the Holy Ghost. 3. Total Apostasy: All these are unpardonable sins.

I have in another Treatise adventured to tell you my judgment concerning the sin ⟨p. 237⟩against the Holy Ghost viz. That it is when a man will not believe in Christ notwithstanding all the testimonial miracles of the Holy Ghost, which he is convinced de facto were wrought, but yet denieth the validity of their Testimony. This is the unpardonable unbelief, because uncurable: for it is the last or greatest Testimony which Christ will afford to convince the unbelieving world; and therefore he that deliberately refuseth this and will not be convinced by it, is left by God as a hopeless wretch. So that the sin against the Holy Ghost is but a sort of final unbelief. Lay by your prejudice against the singularity of this interpretation, and exactly consider what the occasion of Christs mentioning this sin was, and what was the sin which those Pharisees did commit, and then judge.
