I. Watch very diligently against all sin; But above all. take special heed of those sins that come near to the sin against the Holy Ghost; and they are these; hypocrisy, taking only the outward profession of religion, and so dissembling and mocking of God sinning wilfully against conviction of conscience, and against great light and knowledge, sinning presumptuously (with an high hand): These sins, though none of them are the direct sin against the Holy Ghost, yet they will come very near to it; therefore take special heed of them, left they, in time, should bring you to the committing of that unpardonable sin. And,
II. Labour to be sincere in religion, and by a true faith engraft yourselves in Christ; for they that be in Christ, can never commit this unpardonable sin: For know this, that among all the sins committed by fallen mankind, there is one sin that is a sin unto death, which is the unpardonable sin against the Holy Ghost, which, whosever commits, hath no forgiveness, neither in this world, nor in the world to come.
Consider what hath been said, and the Lord give you understanding.
