Note, This blaspheming the Holy Ghost, 1. Is the sin of none but resolved Infidels: 2. And such of them only as are convinced of the great works of the Holy Ghost, miraculous and others. 3. And yet rather than they will believe in Christ by this Divine testimony, will believe and say, that it is by the Devil and Conjuration that all this is done.
See my Treat of the Blasphemy of the Holy Ghost, in my Book called, The unreasonableness of Infidelity.
33. Either make the tree good and his fruit good, or else make the tree corrupt and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruits.
33. Judge of the tree by the fruit: Of the power which I work by, by the works: If it be no good work to heal the Sick, and Blind, and Lame, and cast out Devils, and preach repentance and forgiveness of sin, to convert and save Souls, then God is not the Author of them. If they be bad works, they have a bad cause; If they be good works, they have a good Author: either say plainly (you that ascribe them to the Devil) that the works are good, and the Devil is good: or else that the Devil is bad and the works are bad: Or if you confess the works to be good, confess that they are done by the Spirit of God.
