1. In the Explication we may premise, Th• there is one Sin which, in the Gospel, is exempt ed from forgiveness, and but one. It is true, […] Sin impenitently persisted in unto death, leav• the Sinner unpardoned; for there is neither Sa• ing Repentance, nor forgiveness to be obtain• in another World, by one that dies in his Sins: b• it is not because former impenitency may not […] pardoned upon Repentance, but because the Sin• hath, by persisting in it, lost the opportunity of […] day of Grace. But there is one that in it […] puts the man, in this life, out of all hope of p• don, and that is called The Sin against the H• Ghost, of which our Saviour so speaks. Mark […] 28, 29. This is that which is called the Sin […] Death, which puts the man out of our Praye• 1 Joh. 5. 16. And this is that which is describe to us. Heb. 6 4, 5. Nor indeed is this Sin unp• donable, because its Guilt out-bids the value of […] Atonement, but because by it, the man puts hi• self out of the road of forgiveness, according […] the Divine Ordination, and by a malicious • nouncing of the Gospel, and the Spirit of G• in it, after great illuminations, and an high p• fession, he provokes God to give him over to ha• ness of heart, and searedness of Conscience, whe• by he is Sealed to final impenitence, there be• a total and final withdrawing of the Spirit fro• him. Concerning which, I shall only say th• ⟨p. 29⟩much, that the person who is troubled and grieved in himself, for fear lest he have committed this Sin, hath therein a good evidence that •e hath not, since the Gospel seems to give that •s one inseparable concomitant of it, viz. an ob•inate and a malicious hatred of the Gospel way •f Salvation. But, this sin only excepted, all o•her sins whatsoever are pardonable: yea, and we •ave the instances of such, as have been guilty •f them, and yet obtained forgiveness: Let me […] little open this in the following remarks.
