There is yet another way, whereby a man may be said to commit sin, which is far more dangerous than the former, yea, remediless, and that is, when a man doth wilfully and obstinately oppose that which the Word of God, and the Spirit of God doth throughly convince his conscience is the Truth, and ought to be followed, out of mere malice, scorn and contempt, and this is that which (I think) this Text points at chiefly; but (thus) a Child of God, a member of Christ, a new Creature ⟨p. 136⟩cannot commit sin, 1because his seed remaineth in him, as the Apostle here speaks, He that thus commiteth sin is of the Devil, and sealed by him to Hells eternity, 1 Joh. 3.8. ch. 5.16. Mat. 12.32.
