can_v be_v do_v but_o by_o the_o bath_n that_o be_v take_v from_o christ_n and_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n the_o jew_n that_o be_v ignorant_a and_o know_v nothing_o in_o the_o time_n of_o christ_n they_o know_v that_o who_o can_v forgive_v sin_n but_o god_n though_o they_o misapply_v it_o yet_o it_o be_v be_v true_a in_o the_o thesis_fw-la and_o in_o the_o general_a who_o can_v forgine_n sin_n

must_v needs_o be_v so_o because_o god_n be_v the_o lawgiver_n and_o the_o judge_n say_v he_o to_o who_o can_v it_o possible_o belong_v to_o pardon_v and_o pass_v by_o and_o wipe_v away_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n but_o to_o he_o that_o be_v the_o giver_n of_o the_o law_n therefore_o none_o of_o the_o prophet_n or_o apostle_n dare_v ever_o arrogate_v this_o privilege_n nathan_n when_o he_o be_v send_v to_o david_n though_o he_o have_v a_o commission_n from_o god_n dare_v not_o speak_v in_o his_o own_o name_n but_o the_o lord_n have_v pardon_v and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o prophet_n or_o apostle_n dare_v assume_v so_o much_o shall_v we_o that_o be_v man_n far_o inferior_a in_o place_n and_o piety_n and_o those_o special_a intercourse_n of_o the_o love_n and_o knowledge_n of_o god_n it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v a_o power_n give_v to_o minister_n declaratorie_n to_o publish_v and_o pronounce_v pardon_n to_o the_o true_o repentant_a but_o the_o power_n of_o

that_o that_o belong_v to_o his_o duty_n when_o he_o declare_v and_o publish_v pardon_n to_o the_o repentant_a but_o he_o exercise_v not_o any_o power_n and_o authority_n it_o be_v but_o ministerial_a therefore_o saint_n austin_n observe_v well_o that_o when_o christ_n give_v this_o power_n to_o his_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n who_o sin_n you_o remit_v they_o be_v remit_v he_o first_o premise_v he_o breathe_v on_o they_o and_o say_v receive_v you_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v he_o first_o they_o receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o then_o who_o sin_n yeremit_fw-la they_o be_v remit_v for_o it_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o put_v away_o sin_n and_o not_o you_o it_o be_v augustine_n observation_n and_o we_o may_v further_o observe_v that_o christ_n when_o he_o heal_v any_o common_o he_o pronounce_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n but_o the_o apostle_n though_o they_o heal_v many_o yet_o we_o never_o read_v that_o they_o use_v this_o word_n to_o note_v that_o christ_n give_v the_o power_n of_o heal_v to_o they_o but_o he_o keep_v the_o power_n of_o pardon_v to_o himself_o further_o than_o it_o be_v ministerial_a he_o keep_v the_o power_n of_o put_v away_o of_o sin_n to_o himself_o for_o it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o majesty_n it_o can_v be_v so_o to_o other_o god_n may_v make_v angel_n to_o declare_v it_o or_o man_n but_o the_o power_n be_v proper_a to_o he_o christ_n give_v the_o power_n of_o heal_v to_o the_o apostle_n but_o he_o keep_v the_o power_n of_o pardon_v to_o himself_o saint_n austin_n press_v it_o against_o the_o donatist_n sweet_o who_o will_v fain_o have_v get_v the_o power_n to_o themselves_o austin_n ask_v the_o question_n tell_v i_o the_o virtue_n of_o who_o name_n take_v away_o sin_n he_o speak_v of_o himself_o be_v it_o the_o name_n of_o

of_o god_n be_v more_o heavy_a than_o any_o judgement_n there_o be_v no_o judgement_n that_o be_v a_o judgement_n if_o the_o wrath_n and_o displeasure_n of_o god_n go_v not_o with_o it_o for_o when_o god_n love_n go_v with_o it_o it_o be_v a_o chastisement_n and_o not_o a_o judgement_n if_o we_o compare_v spirituall_n with_o spirituall_n than_o we_o shall_v see_v it_o plain_a and_o evident_a the_o

therefore_o the_o child_n of_o god_n pray_v for_o spirituall_n before_o temporall_n again_o there_o be_v no_o proportion_n between_o temporal_a and_o spiritual_a judgement_n therefore_o they_o pray_v

another_o method_n first_o to_o pray_v for_o daily_a bread_n and_o then_o for_o pardon_v of_o sin_n he_o do_v it_o to_o condescend_v to_o our_o weakness_n to_o draw_v we_o to_o the_o consideration_n of_o that_o that_o be_v less_o know_v by_o that_o that_o be_v better_a know_v we_o see_v our_o daily_a bread_n and_o the_o want_n of_o temporall_n be_v discover_v to_o we_o by_o sense_n therefore_o these_o thing_n be_v more_o familiar_a and_o better_o know_v but_o the_o weight_n of_o sin_n we_o know_v by_o the_o demonstration_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o inward_a man_n therefore_o that_o be_v not_o so_o well_o know_v therefore_o that_o he_o may_v give_v we_o encouragement_n to_o rest_v on_o he_o for_o all_o estate_n he_o will_v first_o draw_v we_o on_o give_v we_o our_o daily_a
