[¶0] OF BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE HOLY GHOST (FOUR ARTICLES)

[¶1] We must now consider in particular blasphemy against the Holy Ghost: under which head there are four points of inquiry:

[¶3] (2) Of the species of this sin;

[¶4] (3) Whether it can be forgiven?

[¶5] (4) Whether it is possible to begin by sinning against the Holy Ghost before committing other sins?
