his_o authority_n not_o from_o the_o pope_n but_o from_o christ_n himself_o the_o three_o opinion_n be_v caietans_n who_o affirm_v that_o the_o priest_n have_v authority_n to_o absolve_v the_o pope_n neither_o from_o christ_n nor_o from_o the_o pope_n nor_o from_o the_o church_n but_o only_o by_o election_n to_o wit_n in_o that_o the_o pope_n submit_v himself_o to_o the_o priest_n and_o choose_v he_o and_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o four_o opinion_n which_o hold_v that_o as_o in_o receive_v of_o priesthood_n power_n of_o jurisdiction_n be_v give_v to_o every_o simple_a priest_n in_o respect_n of_o venial_a sin_n and_o of_o those_o mortal_n which_o the_o penitent_a nath_n otherwise_o confess_v and_o also_o in_o respect_n of_o every_o sinner_n in_o the_o point_n of_o death_n so_o be_v jurisdiction_n then_o give_v to_o the_o say_a priest_n that_o he_o may_v absolve_v the_o pope_n thus_o say_v our_o reverend_a bishop_n and_o worthy_a friar_n joseph_n out_o of_o who_o word_n i_o note_v 1_o first_o that_o since_o our_o lord_n be_v the_o god_n of_o peace_n and_o not_o of_o dissension_n as_o record_v his_o holy_a apostle_n in_o many_o place_n it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o this_o popish_a doctrine_n be_v not_o of_o god_n which_o be_v so_o divide_v against_o itself_o and_o 33._o therefore_o say_v caietain_v true_o though_o unwitting_o and_o to_o another_o end_n when_o he_o deny_v the_o priest_n to_o have_v his_o authority_n from_o christ_n or_o from_o his_o church_n 2_o i_o note_v second_o that_o their_o doctrine_n be_v mere_a opinative_a as_o which_o be_v only_o ground_v upon_o man_n invention_n 3_o i_o note_v three_o that_o as_o the_o priest_n jurisdiction_n be_v uncerten_a so_o be_v the_o pope_n absolution_n also_o as_o which_o be_v consectarie_n thereunto_o and_o consequent_o that_o the_o pope_n stand_v in_o danger_n of_o his_o salvation_n and_o so_o if_o i_o be_v not_o deceive_v the_o obscurity_n of_o this_o conclusion_n be_v make_v evident_a the_o corollary_n first_o therefore_o since_o auricular_a popish_a confession_n be_v not_o command_v by_o christ_n second_o since_o it_o be_v not_o practise_v by_o the_o apostle_n three_o since_o it_o be_v institute_v only_o by_o the_o positive_a law_n of_o man_n four_o since_o the_o greek_a church_n never_o admit_v that_o law_n five_o since_o it_o be_v contrary_a not_o only_o to_o

as_o pope_n and_o public_a person_n in_o judicial_a definition_n 3_o three_o that_o general_a counsel_n in_o these_o latter_a day_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o mere_a mockery_n &_o sophistical_a subtlety_n to_o deceive_v god_n people_n withal_o 4_o four_o that_o the_o pope_n dispensation_n be_v wicked_a licentious_a and_o intolerable_a 5_o five_o that_o king_n be_v above_o pope_n that_o their_o power_n be_v independent_a &_o that_o they_o be_v subject_a to_o none_o but_o to_o god_n alone_o 6_o six_o that_o popish_a dissension_n be_v of_o matter_n most_o important_a and_o incredible_a to_o such_o as_o be_v not_o well_o acquaint_v with_o their_o book_n 7_o seaventhly_a that_o the_o writing_n of_o the_o ancient_a father_n be_v to_o be_v receive_v with_o great_a reverence_n yet_o so_o as_o we_o acknowledge_v they_o to_o be_v man_n to_o have_v their_o error_n and_o to_o bind_v we_o to_o their_o authority_n no_o further_o than_o they_o accord_v with_o the_o holy_a scripture_n 8_o eight_o that_o all_o thing_n necessary_a for_o our_o salvation_n be_v contain_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o that_o popish_a tradition_n be_v so_o uncerten_a as_o the_o best_a learned_a papist_n can_v not_o agree_v therein_o 9_o nine_o that_o after_o this_o life_n there_o be_v neither_o merit_n nor_o demerit_n nor_o satisfaction_n to_o be_v make_v and_o that_o the_o book_n of_o maccabee_n can_v not_o establish_v popish_a purgatory_n 10_o ten_o that_o the_o specifical_a enumeration_n and_o confession_n of_o all_o our_o sin_n be_v not_o only_o not_o command_v by_o the_o scripture_n but_o repugnant_a to_o the_o same_o and_o impossible_a to_o be_v accomplish_v by_o the_o power_n of_o man_n all_o which_o point_n i_o have_v prove_v not_o only_o by_o scripture_n
