And why? Not because it is greater then Gods mercy, or Christs merits: but first by a just judgement of God upon such sinners, for their hatefull 〈◊〉〈◊〉 in despising his spirit: Whence follows an impossibility of repentance, Heb. 6. 6. and so of remission, Luk. 13. 3. Secondly such a desperate sury invadeth these men, that they maliciously resist and repudiate the price of repentance, Act. 5. 31. and the matter of remission, 1 Joh. 1. 7. viz. the precious blood of Jesus Christ, whereby if they might have mercy, yet they would not: but continue raving and raging against both physick and Physiti∣an, to their unavoidable ruth and ruine. How bold therefore is Bellarmine, who interpreteth this text of the difficulty and rarity only of remission, and not of an utter impossibility?
A commentary or exposition upon the four Evangelists, and the Acts of the Apostles: wherein the text is explained, some controversies are discussed, divers common places are handled, and many remarkable matters hinted, that had by former interpreters been pretermitted. Besides, divers other texts of Scripture which occasionally occur are fully opened, and the whole so intermixed with pertinent histories, as will yeeld both pleasure and profit to the judicious reader. / By John Trapp M. A. Pastour of Weston upon Avon in Gloucestershire.
