Hence is the sin against the Holy Ghost (what it is I do §. 17 not now dispute) unpardonable; and hath that Adjunct of Rebellion put upon it, that no other sin hath: namely because he comes not, he acts not in his own name only, though in his own also, but in the name and Authority of the Father & Son, from and by whom he is sent; and therefore to sin against him, is to sin against all the Authority of God, all the Love of the Trinity, and the utmost condescension of each person to the work of our Salvation. It is I say from the Authoritative mission of the Spirit that the sin against him is peculiarly unpardonable; It is a sin against the recapitulation of the love of the Father, Son, and Spirit. And from this consideration, were that our present business, might the true nature of the sin against the Holy Ghost be investigated. Certainly it must consist in the contempt of some operation of his, as acting in the name and Authority of the whole Trinity, and that in their ineffable condescension to ⟨p. 266⟩the work of Grace. But this is of another Consideration.
