Century
This
is
that
which
I
said
before
,
that
God
loves
us
more
,
then
a
Father
his
Sonne
.
Verily
the
thing
is
evident
,
that
God
loves
us
above
the
affection
of
sonnes
,
who
for
our
sakes
hath
not
spared
his
Sonne
.
And
what
adde
I
further
?
and
this
a
just
Son
,
and
this
an
only
begotten
Sonne
,
and
this
Son
God
,
And
what
can
be
said
more
?
and
this
for
us
;
that
is
,
for
evill
ones
;
for
most
wicked
ones
;
for
unrighteous
ones
.
Who
can
estimate
this
love
of
God
towards
us
,
but
that
the
justice
of
God
is
such
,
that
no
unjust
thing
can
be
incident
unto
him
?
For
so
far
as
humane
reason
may
judge
,
any
man
had
done
an
unjust
thing
,
if
for
the
worst
servants
he
should
haveput
to
death
a
good
Sonne
.
So
that
in
this
the
piety
of
God
is
more
inestimable
,
and
in
this
the
vertue
of
God
is
more
admirable
,
that
so
the
greatnesse
of
his
justice
cannot
by
man
be
understood
:
inasmuch
as
to
the
apprehension
of
humane
imbecillity
,
the
greatnesse
of
his
justice
seemes
almost
to
have
a
shew
of
in
justice
.

should

Comment.
in
Heb.
It
is
to
be
noted
,
there
is
a
double
falling-away
,
He
that
in
any
kind
,
or
severall
wayes
offends
;
he
fals
from
the
state
of
a
Christian
man
,
therefore
all
sins
are
so
manyfals
.
But
the
Apostle
doth
not
here
dispute
of
Theft
,
or
Perjury
,
or
Murther
,
or
Drunkennesse
,
or
Adultery
;
but
he
notes
an
when
a
sinner
offends
not
God
in
some
one
respect
,
but
withdrawes
himself
from
his
grace
altogether
.
And
that
this
may
be
the
better
understood
,
the
Antithesis
betwixt
the
graces
reckoned
up
,
and
this
falling
away
,
is
to
be
observed
.
For
he
fals
away
,
that
makes
defectian
from
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
that
extinguisheth
the
light
of
it
,
that
deprives
himselfe
of
the
taste
of
the
heavenly
gift
,
that
forsake
the
participation
of
the
Spirit
:
And
this
is
to
r●…sounce
God
totally
.
Now
we
see
whom
he
sec●…des
from
hope
of
pardon
:
Apostates
who
withdraw
themselves
from
the
Grace
of
God
,
and
the
Gospel
of
Christ
which
they
had
formerly
embraced
;
which
befals
no
man
,

which

done
neither
through

by

)
but
to

who
professedly
and
universally
departed
from
Christ
,
are
delighted
in
impiety
,
and
make
war
against
the
knowne
Truth
,
as
did
the
Apostate
and
others
of
execrable
memory
i.
e.
of
treading
under
foot
the
Sonne
of
God
,
of
counting

,
and
of
doing

,
Sin
against
the
Holy
Ghost
We
must
note
that
there
are
divers
degrees
of
falling
,
and
as
it
were
foure
kinds
.
into
some
error
or
some
sin
,
as
many
Fathers
,
&c.
fell
into
the
Heresie
of
the
Chiliast's
fell
into
murder
and
adultery
.
Of
these
the
Apostle
speaks
not
;
it
is
not
impossible
to
repent
of
these
.
or
renouncing
of
the
whole
Christian
faith
:
but
through
infirmity
;
and
therefore
not
finall
.
As
by
denying
Christ
seemes
to
fall
totally
:
but
he
repeneed
with
tears
.
So
fell
through
infirmity
to
idolatry
,
and
many
other
Christians
under
persecution
,
but
afterwards
repented
.
And
when
understood
this
saying
of
such
he
erred
,
and
the
event
evidenced
,
that
it
was
ill
wrested
against
them
.
Nor
was
it
impossible
for
and
others
lapsed
truly
to
repent
.
As
and
histories
do
testifie
but
not
malicious
not
done
of
purposed
malice
,
but
from
other
causes
,
which
Christ
adumbrated
in
his
Parable
of
the
seed
falling
on
rocky
and
thorny
ground
,
Some
are
deterred
by
persecutions
,
others
are
withdrawn
from
Religion
,
by
hopes
of
honours
,
Pleasures
,
and
th●…
cares
of
this
life
,
and
that
finally
:
yet
without
blasphemy
and
persecution
,
rather
through
a
kind
of
security
and
sluggushnesse
.
So
divers
departed
from
Christ
,
and
walked
no
more
with
him
,
being
offended
at
his
Sermon
about
eating
his
flesh
,
Properly
the
Apostle
doth
not
speak
of
these
,
because
though
these
be
not
renewed
by
repentance
,
yet
is
it
not
impossible
for
them
to
be
renewed
.
And
sometimes
God
gives
these
grace
,
to
returne
into
the
way
A
defection
from
the
truth
certainly
acknowledged
;
not
through
feare
or
infirmity
:
but
of
purposed
malice
and
counsell
,
joyned
with
the
finall
hatred
,
blasphemy
and
Persecution
thereof
.
As
we
read
,
to
have
fallen
,
and
as
many

Apostates
to
this

have
