you_o do_v true_o repent_v of_o all_o your_o sin_n or_o you_o do_v not_o if_o you_o do_v not_o most_o certain_o you_o can_v have_v no_o solid_a peace_n but_o if_o you_o do_v true_o repent_v as_o you_o say_v you_o do_v what_o can_v hinder_v you_o from_o apply_v the_o promise_v make_v to_o penitent_a sinner_n to_o yourself_o which_o be_v the_o true_a ground_n of_o comfort_n and_o satisfaction_n may_v be_v you_o want_v a_o voice_n from_o heaven_n to_o confirm_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o have_v you_o since_o hear_v such_o a_o voice_n from_o heaven_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n i_o think_v not_o if_o you_o true_o repent_v in_o our_o church_n then_o certain_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n you_o be_v assure_v that_o your_o sin_n be_v pardon_v and_o if_o they_o be_v pardon_v why_o shall_v you_o not_o comfort_v yourself_o with_o that_o pardon_n that_o which_o make_v you_o rejoice_v now_o be_v because_o you_o believe_v your_o sin_n be_v pardon_v but_o if_o when_o you_o be_v of_o our_o church_n you_o very_o believe_v you_o true_o repent_v you_o can_v not_o but_o believe_v that_o your_o sin_n be_v pardon_v and_o consequent_o you_o may_v have_v take_v as_o much_o comfort_n as_o you_o do_v now_o but_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n you_o say_v give_v i_o no_o absolution_n which_o the_o roman_a priest_n do_v why_o madam_n do_v any_o of_o our_o minister_n deny_v you_o absolution_n when_o you_o can_v assure_v they_o that_o your_o repentance_n be_v sincere_a do_v you_o ever_o ask_v absolution_n and_o be_v you_o refuse_v nay_o i_o appeal_v to_o your_o conscience_n do_v not_o those_o minister_n you_o converse_v withal_o assure_v you_o over_o and_o over_o that_o you_o need_v not_o doubt_v of_o the_o pardon_n of_o your_o sin_n so_o long_o as_o you_o do_v detest_v and_o abhor_v they_o and_o watch_v and_o strive_v and_o pray_v against_o they_o and_o be_v sincere_o resolve_v to_o commit_v they_o no_o more_o and_o do_v avoid_v the_o very_a occasion_n of_o evil_a and_o what_o be_v this_o but_o absolution_n which_o however_o you_o may_v have_v have_v perform_v with_o great_a ceremony_n if_o you_o have_v have_v a_o mind_n to_o it_o it_o be_v no_o very_o hard_a matter_n to_o guess_v at_o the_o rise_n and_o progress_n of_o your_o peace_n and_o satisfaction_n in_o the_o roman_a church_n all_o new_a thing_n please_v and_o provide_v they_o have_v but_o a_o good_a face_n allure_v our_o fancy_n and_o this_o be_v please_v it_o be_v very_o natural_a to_o defend_v they_o and_o have_v once_o defend_v they_o our_o love_n to_o they_o advance_v and_o by_o degree_n we_o think_v our_o honour_n and_o credit_n be_v too_o far_o engage_v to_o part_v with_o they_o we_o see_v how_o child_n be_v quiet_v with_o new_a trifle_n pardon_v the_o uncourtly_a comparison_n i_o know_v not_o how_o to_o shun_v it_o and_o the_o new_a object_n they_o never_o see_v before_o surprise_v and_o charm_v they_o make_v they_o fix_v their_o eye_n upon_o it_o and_o cry_n if_o they_o can_v have_v it_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o child_n we_o see_v our_o own_o and_o embrace_v new_a object_n which_o our_o sickly_a fancy_n be_v rove_a after_o be_v but_o the_o scene_n of_o child_n longing_n for_o new_a play_n thing_n change_v the_o novelty_n of_o the_o thing_n you_o be_v venture_v upon_o the_o new_a church_n new_a indeed_o new_a to_o you_o and_o new_a to_o almighty_a god_n which_o you_o be_v to_o join_v yourself_o to_o the_o stool_n of_o confession_n in_o the_o church_n and_o the_o priest_n new_a habit_n and_o mortify_a face_n which_o perhaps_o he_o owe_v more_o to_o his_o country_n than_o to_o his_o virtue_n and_o affect_a gravity_n and_o assure_v of_o you_o that_o their_o absolution_n have_v a_o wonderful_a virtue_n and_o efficacy_n all_o these_o together_o surprise_v you_o and_o raise_v your_o expectation_n and_o strike_v some_o kind_n of_o reverence_n into_o you_o your_o mind_n be_v thus_o possess_v with_o the_o idea_n of_o these_o new_a thing_n be_v you_o never_o try_v before_o and_o work_v upon_o your_o affection_n and_o move_v your_o will_n to_o confess_v to_o this_o man_n of_o wonder_n you_o natural_o fall_v into_o a_o fancy_n that_o so_o much_o formality_n and_o ceremony_n different_a from_o that_o you_o have_v be_v use_v to_o in_o our_o church_n have_v more_o charm_n in_o it_o than_o our_o plain_a and_o honest_a way_n and_o then_o lay_v the_o stress_n of_o your_o pardon_n upon_o the_o new_a priest_n absolution_n in_o that_o formal_a manner_n wherewith_o your_o fancy_n be_v impregnate_v it_o soon_o diffuse_a a_o cheerful_a air_n in_o your_o countenance_n and_o raise_v some_o gladness_n in_o your_o heart_n because_o you_o have_v now_o do_v something_o more_o than_o ordinary_a as_o a_o antidote_n against_o your_o sin_n and_o from_o hence_o arise_v your_o pretend_a peace_n and_o satisfaction_n or_o delusion_n rather_o because_o you_o lay_v the_o stress_n of_o your_o pardon_n upon_o the_o absolution_n of_o that_o roman_a priest_n and_o not_o upon_o the_o sincerity_n of_o your_o repentance_n if_o a_o priest_n can_v forgive_v sin_n be_v whether_o man_n repent_v or_o no_o then_o indeed_o you_o may_v have_v lay_v the_o stress_n of_o your_o pardon_n on_o that_o forgiveness_n of_o the_o priest_n but_o since_o by_o your_o own_o confession_n that_o absolution_n of_o the_o priest_n signify_v nothing_o except_o people_n true_o repent_v for_o you_o to_o build_v your_o comfort_n on_o that_o absolution_n when_o it_o shall_v have_v be_v found_v upon_o your_o sincere_a repentance_n can_v but_o be_v a_o false_a fire_n and_o a_o counterfeit_a comfort_n if_o you_o say_v you_o do_v not_o fetch_v your_o peace_n from_o that_o absolution_n but_o from_o the_o sincerity_n of_o your_o repentance_n you_o catch_v yourself_o for_o if_o your_o true_a repentance_n must_v be_v the_o foundation_n of_o it_o than_o you_o may_v have_v take_v the_o same_o comfort_n in_o our_o church_n if_o you_o still_o reply_v you_o can_v not_o you_o only_o mean_v you_o will_v not_o for_o true_a repentance_n be_v true_a repentance_n in_o any_o church_n and_o if_o true_a repentance_n cause_v true_a comfort_n it_o will_v have_v cause_v true_a comfort_n in_o our_o church_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o roman_a and_o therefore_o there_o must_v be_v some_o cheat_n in_o this_o comfort_n the_o fancy_n you_o have_v since_o take_v up_o that_o the_o reason_n why_o you_o find_v comfort_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n upon_o your_o confession_n and_o absolution_n and_o none_o in_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v because_o the_o priest_n of_o that_o church_n be_v true_a priest_n and_o those_o of_o we_o be_v not_o be_v as_o solid_a as_o your_o peace_n if_o we_o have_v no_o true_a priest_n in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n then_o most_o certain_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v none_o the_o bishop_n which_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o our_o reformation_n do_v ordain_v bishop_n priest_n and_o deacon_n among_o we_o be_v

of_o excommunication_n at_o rome_n can_v annul_v it_o it_o be_v true_a your_o ghostly_a father_n very_o confident_o tell_v you_o a_o quality_n incident_a to_o that_o sort_n of_o man_n that_o our_o first_o protestant_a bishop_n never_o receive_v order_n from_o bishop_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o one_o will_v admire_v what_o spirit_n do_v possess_v these_o man_n that_o they_o dare_v
