who_o thereby_o free_v from_o much_o solicitude_n of_o this_o world_n though_o not_o without_o some_o troublesome_a struggle_n against_o unseemly_a lust_n of_o youth_n may_v approach_v the_o altar_n like_o angel_n of_o god_n who_o neither_o marry_v nor_o be_v give_v in_o marriage_n 10._o the_o doctrine_n of_o indulgency_n which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o release_v from_o some_o temporal_a penalty_n due_a to_o sin_n after_o repentance_n and_o remission_n which_o the_o church_n do_v general_o bestow_v by_o commutation_n as_o when_o for_o example_n a_o indulgence_n of_o such_o penalty_n for_o so_o many_o day_n or_o year_n be_v grant_v unto_o such_o as_o upon_o the_o time_n appoint_v shall_v repent_v and_o confess_v fast_o pray_v give_v alm_n and_o communicate_v for_o the_o church_n
