For them that sin of ignorance or infirmity, there is remedy, but for him that knoweth the truth, and yet willingly yieldeth him self to sin, & consenteth unto the life of sin with soul and body, & had rather lye in sin, then have his poisoned nature healed, 1by the help of the spirit of grace, and maliciously persecuteth the truth, for him I say there is no remedy, the way to mercy is locked up, and the spirit is taken from him, for his unthankfulness sake no more to be given him. Truth it is, if a man can turn to God and believe in Christ, he must be forgiven how deep soever he hath sinned: but that will not be without the spirit, and such blasphemers shall no more have the spirit offered them. Let every man therefore fear God, and beware that he yield not him self to serve sin, but how oft soever he sin, let him be gin again and fight a fresh, and no doubt he shall at the last overcome, and in the mean time, yet be under mercy for Christs sake, because his hart worketh, and would fain be loosed from under the bondage of sin.

Truthe it is, if a mā can turne to God and beleue in Christ, he must be forgiuen how deepe soeuer he hath sinned: but that wil not be without the spirite, and such blasphemers shall no more haue the spirite offred them. Let euery man therefore feare God, and beware that he yeld not him self to serue sinne, but how oft soeuer he sinne, let him be gyn agayne and fight a freshe, and no doubt he shal at the last ouercome, and in the meane tyme, yet be vnder mercy for Christes sake, because his hart worketh, and would fayne be loused from vnder the bondage of sinne.
