Answer, This is answered already. They that can prove that God can, will and doth give all these without satisfaction to his Justice first made, are but a step from Socinianism, and ⟨p. 333⟩may next say, he can and will give pardon without satisfaction: And then they are within a step of infidelity, and next in danger of saying, that Christ Died in vain, surely the Holy Ghost is given by Christ Crucified, and I think only to them for whom he was Crucified. The Devils are not therefore uncurable (for ought any Scripture reveals) because they would put Christ to Death, through malice, if it were in their power; nor had they ever these fruits of his Death. But according to their sense against whom I argue, the Devils might hence be said to be unpardonable as well as Apostates. Which is no Scripture Doctrine.
The 7th. Text, which I shall urge is, Heb. 10. 26, 27, 28, 29. For if we sin wilfully after we have received the knowledge of the Truth, there remaineth no more Sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgment, and fiery indignation, which shall devour the Adversaries. He that despised Moses Law, died without mercy, under two or three Witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden nunder Foot the Son of God, and hath counted the Blood of the Covenant wherewith he was Sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite to the Spirit of Grace? Hence I raise two Arguments.
