16.19_o matthew_z 16.19_o for_o as_o saint_n matthew_n in_o his_o 16._o chapter_n show_v that_o he_o say_v to_o peter_n whatsoever_o thou_o bind_v on_o earth_n shall_v be_v bind_v in_o heaven_n and_o whatsoever_o thou_o lose_v in_o earth_n shall_v be_v loose_v in_o heaven_n 18.18_o matth._n 18.18_o so_o in_o the_o 18._o chapter_n he_o declare_v that_o christ_n speak_v these_o very_a same_o word_n to_o all_o the_o apostle_n say_v whatsoever_o you_o bound_v in_o earth_n shall_v be_v bind_v in_o heaven_n and_o whatsoever_o you_o lose_v in_o earth_n shall_v be_v loose_v in_o heaven_n and_o likewise_o saint_n john_n in_o his_o 20._o chapter_n witness_v that_o he_o say_v also_o to_o they_o all_o in_o general_a who_o sin_n soever_o you_o remit_v they_o be_v remit_v unto_o they_o 20.23_o john_n 20.23_o who_o sin_n you_o retain_v they_o be_v retain_v therefore_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o christ_n give_v this_o key_n also_o to_o all_o the_o other_o apostle_n as_o well_o as_o to_o

124._o treatise_n upon_o john_n when_o they_o be_v all_o ask_v peter_n alone_o do_v make_v answer_n and_o it_o be_v say_v unto_o he_o and_o i_o will_v give_v thou_o the_o key_n as_o though_o he_o

wherefore_o in_o another_o place_n reprove_v those_o roman_a heretic_n of_o his_o time_n who_o will_v needs_o have_v those_o word_n to_o be_v speak_v to_o peter_n alone_o and_o he_o to_o be_v the_o

that_o because_o the_o pope_n challenge_v from_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o key_n to_o have_v a_o absolute_a power_n to_o forgive_v sin_n and_o to_o give_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n i_o think_v it_o very_o needful_a to_o open_v that_o mystery_n of_o the_o use_n of_o the_o key_n and_o how_o far_o their_o power_n do_v extend_v 5_o thou_o know_v christian_n reader_n that_o the_o use_n of_o key_n be_v to_o open_v and_o to_o shut_v to_o let_v in_o and_o to_o keep_v out_o such_o as_o be_v not_o meet_v to_o come_v in_o now_o from_o these_o metaphor_n and_o their_o property_n have_v the_o spiritual_a key_n their_o title_n and_o resemblance_n of_o property_n and_o do_v in_o this_o manner_n both_o open_a and_o shut_v to_o wit_n by_o the_o sentence_n of_o the_o law_n to_o shut_v the_o lock_n of_o excommunication_n against_o open_a offender_n and_o by_o the_o sentence_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o open_v it_o again_o to_o those_o that_o open_o repent_v &_o confess_v their_o sin_n and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o their_o haymo_n say_v paul_n say_v haymo_n in_o homely_a upon_o the_o feast_n of_o peter_n and_o paul_n by_o key_n we_o must_v understand_v knowledge_n and_o power_n to_o discern_v between_o good_a and_o bad_a that_o those_o who_o thou_o see_v to_o abide_v in_o the_o true_a faith_n thou_o shall_v judge_v they_o worthy_a of_o heaven_n and_o those_o who_o thou_o see_v to_o depart_v from_o the_o true_a faith_n thou_o shall_v judge_v they_o worthy_a of_o hell_n fire_n the_o bishop_n say_v he_o ibidem_fw-la he_o ibidem_fw-la bind_v man_n when_o they_o separate_v they_o from_o the_o society_n of_o the_o church_n and_o keep_v they_o from_o receive_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n he_o lose_v they_o when_o as_o after_o repentance_n make_v he_o receive_v he_o in_o again_o into_o the_o fellowship_n of_o the_o congregation_n and_o admit_v he_o to_o the_o lord_n table_n and_o this_o be_v now_o all_o the_o power_n the_o church_n have_v by_o the_o two_o key_n as_o for_o sin_n christ_n himself_o have_v say_v matthew_n 16.19_o &_o 18.18_o it_o be_v both_o bind_v and_o loose_v in_o heaven_n by_o god_n himself_o howbeit_o we_o deny_v not_o that_o it_o be_v do_v
but_o save_v his_o life_n for_o if_o saint_n paul_n shall_v have_v speak_v those_o word_n to_o have_v maintain_v a_o place_n of_o purge_a sin_n then_o shall_v he_o have_v utter_o confound_v all_o his_o own_o doctrine_n throughout_o all_o his_o epistle_n where_o he_o so_o labour_v to_o prove_v that_o our_o sin_n be_v whole_o purge_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n only_o for_o first_o in_o the_o three_o chapter_n to_o the_o roman_n he_o say_v thus_o of_o christ_n who_o god_n have_v set_v forth_o to_o be_v a_o reconciliation_n through_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n 5.9_o rom._n 3.25_o

and_o the_o thing_n in_o heaven_n and_o for_o a_o full_a conclusion_n of_o this_o point_n namely_o that_o we_o be_v absolute_o make_v perfect_a by_o christ_n death_n and_o blood_n he_o say_v verse_n 22._o in_o the_o body_n of_o his_o flesh_n 22._o verse_n 22._o through_o death_n he_o make_v we_o unblameable_a and_o without_o fault_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n now_o then_o this_o be_v true_a to_o wit_n that_o we_o be_v full_o and_o whole_o reconcile_v to_o god_n by_o faith_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o our_o sin_n clean_o wash_v away_o thereby_o so_o as_o that_o we_o be_v
