Sinner, This is the sin against the Holy Ghost. What sayest thou? Hast thou committed it; nay, I know thou hast not, if thou wouldst be saved by Christ. Yea, 'tis impossible thou shouldst have done it; if indeed thou wouldst be saved by him. ⟨p. 167⟩No man can desire to be saved by him, whom he yet judgeth to be an Impostor, a Magician, a Witch. No man can hope for redemption by that Blood which he yet counteth an unholy thing. Nor will God ever suffer such an one to repent, who has after light, and profession of him, thus horribly, and Devil-like, contemned and trampled upon him.

True, Words, and Wars, and Blasphemies against this Son of Man are pardonable; but then they must be done ignorantly and in unbelief. Also all blasphemous thoughts are likewise such as may be passed by, if the Soul afflicted with them, indeed is sorry for them, 1 Tim. 1.13, 14, 15. Mar. 3.28.
