First, A sinning against clear light. Secondly, A sinning with full consent and swing of will.
First, A sinning against cleare light. Secondly, A sinning with full consent and swindge of will.
In that place of Numbers, where this sin is described (Chap. 15.30.) There are two other Characters put upon it: First, it is called, A reproaching the Lord: And secondly, a despising of the Word of the Lord; Every sin is a transgression of the Word of the Lord, but every sin is not a despising of the Word of the Lord; every sin is displeasing to God, but every sin is not a reproaching of God: Every sin, even the least, is a departure from God, but some sins are full of activity against God.
It is conceived, that the presumptuous sin in the old Testament, is the same with, or answers to, the sin against the holy Ghost in the New; and that which leads to this apprehension is, because no sacrifice was appointed for that under the Law, ⟨p. 131⟩as this is said to be unpardonable under the Gospel. And the Author to the Hebrews is express (Chap. 10.26.) If we sin wilfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins. The Gospel knows but of one Sacrifice for sin, and that but once offered; they who despise that, have despised all, for there remains no more Sacrifice for sin. God will not send his Son to dye a second time for those who have trodden the Son of God in his death under foot, and have counted the blood of the Covenant an unholy thing. God indeed stretcheth out his hand all the day long, to a gainsaying and rebellious people, that is, to those who stretch out their hands against him in his Law: But he will not stretch out his hand (unless to smite) to a gain-saying and rebellious people, who (in this sense) stretch out their hands against him in the Gospel.
