Of the Unpardonable SIN

AGAINST THE

Η OL Y G H O S T.

John ix. 16. There is a ſin unto death.

THERE IS no mere man ſince the fall, that can live without ſin; for all are ſinners. But yet there are ſome degrees of ſins; ſome ſins in their own nature are ſmall, others are more great, yea, heinous. Many ſins there are that are great, yet pardonable; and one ſin there is unpardonable, and whoſoever commits that one ſin, ſhall have no forgiveneſs, but muſt for ever bear the weight and punishment both of that and of all his other ſins: There is ſuch a ſin as St John ſpeaks of here in my text, that it is it ſin unto death. And now I come to the explication of the words, from whence I shall raiſe this point of doctrine.
