I. Scripture-light the most sure light ... delivered in three sermons on 2 Pet.…

Answ. Great, say ye; How great, man? I have sinned against my Light, I have sinned against my Knowledge, I have sinned against my Conviction; and therefore I fear I have sinned the unpardonable Sin. But I pray (for Answer) did not Adam sin against Light, when he eat the forbidden Fruit? Did he not sin against his Knowledge, & against Conscience; yet he sinned not against the Holy Ghost (though he brought all the World under Condemnation by his Sin) for the Lord himself came and preached mercy to him, The Seed of the Woman shall break the Serpents head. And I pray did not Jonah (when he run away from God) sin against his Light? and did he not sin against his Conviction? and against his Knowledge? yet he did not sin against the Holy Ghost: for the Lord pardoned him, and wonderfully delivered him. Possibly this therefore may be, and yet not a Sin against the Holy Ghost. It is true indeed, that those who sin against the Holy Ghost, do sin against their Light, Knowledge, and Conscience; but whoever sins against Light and Knowledge (though he sins greatly) doth not sin against the Holy Ghost.
