Object. 3. It is said, Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men, 1but the blasphemy against the holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men, neither in this world, nor in the world to come. Hence they will gather, That some sins are forgiven in this world, some in the world to come, that is, in Purgatory; and some are never forgiven: of which these be Mortal, but the others Venial in their own nature. Answ. 1. But, Neither here, neither else-where doth Christ teach, that some sins are forgiven in the world to come. 2For that all other sins are forgiven not in the world to come, but in this world, both Christ signifieth in this place, and the Scripture else-where teacheth, because it is certain, that sins are not remitted, but only to those who repent:3 But he denieth that the sin against the holy Ghost is remitted, either in this world, or in the world to come, that he might more significantly express the denial of pardon to it. 2. Whether they say forgiveness to be in this world, or in the world to come; yet this standeth immovable, that it cometh not of the nature or corruption of the sin, but of free mercy for Christs sake. And if every sin be so grievous, that it could not be purged, but by the blood of the Son of God; then doubtless they do great despite and contumely unto that blood, who so extenuate any sin, as to deny that it deserveth eternal punishment, unto which the death of the Son of God is equivalent. 3. Even by their own confession, there are many mortal sins, which notwithstanding are forgiven in this life. Wherefore, either they must make all these to be even in their own nature Venial, or they will never prove out of this place, that the ••nalnesse of the sin is the cause of forgiveness.
