and_o instead_o of_o say_v to_o sinner_n 11._o go_v and_o sin_n no_o more_o as_o jesus_n christ_n do_v to_o the_o person_n who_o sin_n he_o pardon_v as_o to_o the_o paralytic_a and_o to_o the_o

by_o it_o to_o give_v a_o solution_n to_o your_o first_o 7._o 23._o question_n whether_o jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o speak_v touch_v confession_n all_o that_o you_o shall_v do_v on_o earth_n i_o will_v do_v in_o heaven_n this_o be_v certain_o as_o to_o the_o remit_v and_o retain_v of_o sin_n but_o it_o be_v not_o after_o the_o manner_n that_o man_n understand_v it_o for_o god_n never_o give_v this_o authority_n to_o man_n in_o themselves_o but_o to_o his_o church_n which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o his_o word_n and_o therefore_o this_o authority_n do_v reside_v always_o where_o this_o word_n reside_v moses_n and_o so_o many_o other_o prophet_n who_o wrought_v so_o many_o wonder_n in_o the_o world_n perform_v they_o by_o virtue_n of_o this_o word_n and_o not_o by_o their_o own_o authority_n and_o power_n they_o go_v always_o to_o god_n to_o know_v what_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o they_o wrought_v according_a to_o his_o will_n in_o no_o way_n according_a to_o their_o own_o for_o man_n have_v nothing_o of_o himself_o but_o a_o impotence_n instead_o of_o power_n but_o the_o word_n of_o god_n have_v power_n in_o all_o place_n where_o it_o reside_v even_o though_o it_o shall_v reside_v in_o a_o wicked_a soul_n therefore_o sometime_o even_o the_o beast_n have_v wrought_v miracle_n by_o virtue_n of_o this_o word_n the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n 3._o do_v subsist_v it_o have_v the_o same_o virtue_n to_o remit_v and_o retain_v sin_n in_o the_o body_n of_o confessor_n that_o it_o have_v in_o the_o natural_a and_o humane_a body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o it_o be_v always_o the_o same_o which_o proceed_v from_o almighty_a god_n the_o only_a difficulty_n that_o i_o find_v be_v to_o know_v whether_o it_o can_v still_o reside_v in_o the_o confessor_n at_o present_a who_o do_v not_o follow_v the_o rule_n of_o this_o holy_a doctrine_n god_n have_v indeed_o promise_v to_o pardon_v sin_n to_o penitent_a sinner_n and_o these_o confessor_n do_v pardon_v they_o to_o sinner_n persevere_v and_o continue_v in_o their_o sin_n so_o that_o if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o these_o confessor_n can_v pardon_v sin_n according_a to_o their_o own_o fancy_n a_o man_n will_v only_o need_v to_o be_v in_o favour_n with_o some_o of_o they_o to_o be_v assure_v of_o his_o salvation_n it_o will_v be_v in_o vain_a therefore_o for_o jesus_n christ_n to_o have_v suffer_v and_o endure_v so_o much_o to_o ●each_v we_o 8._o humility_n patience_n penitence_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n if_o these_o confessor_n with_o absolvo_fw-la can_v thus_o forgive_v we_o all_o our_o sin_n every_o one_o may_v indeed_o live_v as_o he_o please_v as_o they_o do_v now_o without_o care_v much_o for_o god_n since_o he_o may_v obtain_v salvation_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o a_o man_n who_o will_v call_v himself_o the_o saviour_n and_o forgive_v of_o sinner_n i_o think_v a_o man_n must_v be_v deprive_v of_o all_o judgement_n not_o to_o discover_v this_o deceit_n whereas_o at_o the_o same_o time_n so_o many_o person_n live_v and_o die_v in_o this_o blindness_n this_o be_v a_o grosser_n darkness_n than_o that_o of_o egypt_n as_o to_o the_o second_o point_n whether_o it_o be_v in_o confession_n that_o we_o must_v forgive_v seventy_o seven_o time_n that_o can_v be_v authorise_a by_o this_o passage_n since_o we_o find_v no_o where_o that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v forgive_v sin_n more_o than_o once_o to_o those_o to_o who_o he_o pardon_v and_o if_o a_o sinner_n be_v true_o penitent_a he_o will_v be_v careful_a not_o to_o fall_v again_o so_o often_o but_o if_o he_o be_v not_o penitent_a he_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o obtain_v pardon_n so_o much_o as_o once_o for_o absolution_n do_v always_o suppose_v contrition_n otherwise_o it_o will_v not_o be_v available_a st._n peter_n ask_v how_o often_o he_o shall_v pardon_v his_o brother_n who_o offend_v he_o but_o penitent_n have_v not_o offend_v their_o confessor_n when_o they_o go_v to_o confession_n these_o so_o numerous_a pardon_n respect_v the_o indulgence_n that_o we_o owe_v to_o our_o christian_a brethren_n that_o we_o may_v leave_v vengeance_n to_o god_n alone_o but_o they_o do_v not_o at_o all_o
