§. 33. Of preuenting the sinne against the Holy Ghost.

TO return to the point in hand, we have heard what the sin against the Holy Ghost is, and what the issue thereof is, namely, Impossibility of pardon, certainty of eternal damnation. Whose heart doth not tremble to⟨p. 623⟩ think of their estate? The very Devils do tremble to think of their own doom and judgement. Dives is thought to be in a most miserable plight. That which ministereth any comfort to sinners in this world, is, that they hope the due vengeance of their sins shall not be executed upon them. This hope can none have that sin against the Holy Ghost. Though all sins (as before we have heard) shall be pardoned, yet a man may so grow on in impudency and obstinacy, as to sin against the Holy Ghost, and make his sin irremissible, and himself certain of eternal damnation.
