1Every sin against the holy Ghost is Reigning sin, and sin against conscience; but not contrariwise every Reigning sin, sin against the holy Ghost: For it may fall out, that some man either ignorantly, or else wittingly and willingly may patronize some errors, or make breach of some commandment by reason of weakness, terror of present torment, or fear of danger; and yet not oppugn of purpose and malice the truth known unto him, or make an utter Apostasy from Religion and Piety, and persevere in a sensual senseless contempt, but retire unto repentance in this life: Wherefore Reigning sin, or the sin against the holy Ghost differ as a general from a particular; the latter of them intimating a precedency of the former, but not the former a consequence of the latter.

- 1It is not every Reigning sin.
1The sin against the holy Ghost is not incident unto the Elect, and those who are truly converted; because the Elect can never perish, but are certainly saved by God: My sheep shall no man pluck out of my hands; with the like places. They then who thus offend, were never truly converted and chosen: They went out from us, because they were not of us.
