In two cases a man sinning against knowledge, doth not yet sin that sin against the holy Ghost: One is, the case of a strong and violent temptation; Another is, the case of a sudden and turbulent passion: It is the same with Peters case against his knowledge denying and forswearing his Master. ⟨p. 367⟩If Paul before his conversion had had Peters knowledge, he had sinned this sin against the holy Ghost; And if Peter in his denial had had Pauls malice joined with his knowledge, he had also sinned that sin: but the mis-belief of the one before his conversion, and the infirmity of the other after it, preserved from this sin. Error mis-led the one, and sudden fear surprised the other.

Fourthly, there are three horrible sinnings which do attend that sin against the holy Ghost; and the Scripture (which we were best exceeding warily to follow in resolving this case) expressly delivers them.
