2. Neither is it impardonable only in regard of event, Because in event it shall never be pardoned; for th•re are many Sins which in event shall never be pardoned, which yet are not the Sins against the Holy Ghost. There is many a wicked man that goes to Hell, whose Sins in event are not pardoned, and yet he did never sin against the Holy Ghost: So that this Sin is not impardonable only in regard of event.

3. Neither is it impardonable, because it is so great as doth exceed the Power and Mercy of God; for Gods Mercy and Power, in forgiving sins, is like himself, Infinite. If that be a good Argument that David useth, Forgive my sin, for it is wondrous great; then the greatness of the Sin, cannot be the only reason of the impardonableness of it: There is nothing greater than that which is infinite,¹ but Gods Mercy is Infinite.

1. 1Nunquam remittetur, quod intellige regulatiter, nam nec Divina potentia, nec Divina miserecordia alligata est ad non remittendum, spiritua blasphemiam, sed secundum reg•larem cursum eveniet non remissio quod comitem semper habet obstinationem. Cajetan. in Matth. 12. Dupliciter dicitur peccatum irremissibile, dicitur uno quod nunquam remittetur, alio dicitur irremissibile quod remitti non potest et sic non sequitur iste est similiter impenitens ergo habet peccatum irremissibile. Holcot. de imputabilitate peccati.
