First, The largeness of Gods heart, in forgiving sins unto the Children of men, Every sin: All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men.
Secondly: You have here the unpardonableness of the Sin against the Holy Ghost: But the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, shall not be forgiven unto men.
I would rather choose to speak unto the former Argument; but if I should do so at the first, possibly some poor soul would say, Though Gods heart be very large in forgiving sins, yet there is one sin that shall never be forgiven, the Sin against the Holy Ghost; and I fear I have committed that.
I would rather chuse to speak unto the former Argument; but if I should do so at the first, possibly some poor soul would say, Though Gods heart be very large in forgiving sins, yet there is one sin that shal never be forgiven, the Sin against the Holy Ghost; and I fear I have committed that.
That I may therefore take away this Obstruction, and make your way plain and easy to the forgiving mercy of the Lord, I shall at this tim eak unto the last of these two Arguments; But the blasphe against the Holy Ghost, shall not be forgiven. Whosoever spea against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
