Sinner, This is the Sin against the Holy Ghost. What say'st thou? Hast thou committed it, nay I know thou would'st be saved by Christ. Yea 'tis impossible thou should'st have done it, if thou wouldst he saved by him: No Man can desired to be saved by him whom he yet judgeth to be an Impostor, a Magician, a Witch. No Man can hope for Redemption by that Blood which he yet count••• an unholy Thing. Nor will God […] such an one to repent, who […] after Light and Profession of him, thus horribly, and Devil like, contemned and trampled upon him.
