the_o papist_n be_v utter_o condemn_v by_o their_o own_o approve_a doctor_n for_o first_o s._n bernard_n say_v that_o nothing_o which_o man_n can_v do_v or_o suffer_v in_o this_o life_n be_v worthy_a of_o the_o joy_n of_o heaven_n second_o he_o say_v that_o heaven_n be_v not_o due_a to_o any_o man_n for_o his_o own_o desert_n three_o he_o say_v that_o god_n shall_v do_v no_o man_n wrong_v if_o

〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d do_v proper_o signify_v to_o break_v or_o dissolve_v in_o which_o signification_n the_o prophet_n seem_v to_o use_v it_o here_o although_o it_o also_o signify_v to_o save_v

expound_v this_o text_n i_o say_v three_o that_o albeit_o we_o can_v redeem_v our_o sin_n in_o god_n sight_n or_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o the_o same_o in_o the_o court_n of_o his_o justice_n as_o be_v prove_v exact_o out_o of_o holy_a bernard_n yet_o may_v we_o redeem_v they_o before_o man_n while_o we_o reconcile_v ourselves_o to_o those_o who_o we_o have_v offend_v and_o make_v restitution_n where_o we_o have_v do_v wrong_a and_o of_o this_o kind_n of_o redemption_n may_v the_o prophet_n not_o unfit_o be_v understand_v the_o reply_n not_o only_a s._n bernard_n in_o the_o word_n by_o you_o

that_o though_o the_o father_n do_v often_o use_v the_o word_n merit_n when_o they_o speak_v of_o good_a work_n yet_o do_v they_o never_o take_v it_o in_o your_o popish_a manner_n nor_o expect_v heaven_n for_o the_o worthiness_n of_o their_o work_n which_o i_o wish_v the_o reader_n to_o observe_v diligent_o because_o the_o papist_n ever_o wrest_v the_o word_n merit_n to_o the_o wrong_a sense_n this_o be_v clear_a by_o the_o word_n of_o bernard_n already_o cite_v to_o which_o for_o better_a confirmation_n i_o add_v these_o his_o word_n in_o another_o place_n 67_o do_v gratiae_fw-la quicquid_fw-la meritis_fw-la deputas_fw-la nolo_fw-la meritum_fw-la quod_fw-la gratiam_fw-la excludat_fw-la horrid_a quicquid_fw-la de_fw-la me●_n est_fw-la ut_fw-la ●im_fw-la meus_fw-la nisi_fw-la

deliver_v i_o from_o the_o bondage_n of_o sin_n i_o say_v second_o that_o the_o father_n term_n work_v meritorious_a not_o for_o the_o worthinèsse_a thereof_o work_n but_o for_o god_n acceptation_n and_o promise_n sake_n that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o term_v good_a work_v meritorious_a because_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o accept_v the_o work_n of_o the_o faithful_a as_o worthy_a for_o the_o worthiness_n of_o his_o son_n and_o for_o his_o merit_n to_o reward_v they_o with_o heaven_n as_o if_o they_o have_v merit_v the_o same_o for_o which_o respect_n either_o ever_o or_o almost_o ever_o they_o join_v merit_n and_o grace_n together_o this_o verity_n will_v be_v
say_v second_o that_o god_n minister_n bound_v and_o loose_v sin_n by_o preach_v his_o sacred_a word_n of_o which_o kind_n of_o bind_v and_o lose_v christ_n speak_v in_o saint_n matthew_n and_o in_o saint_n john_n 1●_n for_o when_o the_o people_n of_o god_n believe_v in_o their_o heart_n his_o word_n sincere_o preach_v and_o in_o their_o conversation_n show_v the_o lively_a fruit_n thereof_o then_o doubtless_o be_v their_o sin_n loose_v on_o earth_n and_o then_o be_v that_o lose_v also_o ratify_v in_o heaven_n then_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n verify_v 1.16_o who_o say_v that_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n unto_o salvation_n to_o every_o one_o that_o believe_v it_o then_o be_v christ_n minister_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v 1●_n become_v in_o they_o the_o savour_n of_o life_n unto_o life_n on_o the_o contrary_a side_n when_o the_o people_n will_v not_o hear_v and_o believe_v god_n word_n sincere_o preach_v but_o contemn_v it_o and_o the_o minister_n thereof_o then_o doubtless_o be_v their_o sin_n bind_v on_o earth_n and_o then_o be_v that_o bind_v also_o approve_v in_o heaven_n then_o be_v the_o apostle_n word_n verify_v who_o say_v that_o vengeance_n be_v ready_a against_o all_o disobedience_n then_o be_v christ_n minister_n as_o y_o e_o apostle_n say_v make_v unto_o they_o 6._o the_o savour_n of_o death_n unto_o death_n what_o can_v be_v a_o more_o joyful_a lose_n what_o can_v be_v a_o more_o terrible_a bind_n see_v the_o answer_n to_o the_o three_o objection_n follow_v 14._o and_o there_o mark_v s._n hieromes_n word_n i_o say_v three_o that_o our_o people_n confess_v their_o sin_n general_o before_o the_o minister_n &_o in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o whole_a congregation_n according_a to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n 9_o yea_o in_o the_o reform_a church_n abroad_o the_o people_n use_v to_o confess_v to_o the_o minister_n such_o special_a sin_n as_o most_o grieve_v &_o clog_v their_o conscience_n and_o for_o which_o they_o need_v grave_a advice_n and_o godly_a council_n which_o christian_n liberty_n be_v grant_v also_o in_o our_o church_n of_o england_n for_o such_o as_o listen_v may_v confess_v

be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o mere_a mockery_n for_o you_o confess_v yourselves_o general_o to_o be_v sinner_n but_o you_o name_v no_o sin_n at_o all_o again_o as_o in_o germany_n they_o confess_v some_o sin_n so_o do_v they_o leave_v unconfess_v what_o please_v they_o and_o this_o be_v the_o scornful_a liberty_n which_o you_o grant_v to_o your_o church_n of_o england_n the_o answer_n i_o say_v first_o that_o we_o confess_v our_o sin_n this_o day_n as_o the_o israelite_n of_o old_a confess_v their_o sin_n 16._o before_o ezra_n and_o the_o levite_n as_o the_o humble_a publican_n confess_v his_o sin_n when_o he_o say_v o_o god_n be_v merciful_a to_o i_o a_o sinner_n as_o the_o prophet_n david_n confess_v his_o sin_n when_o he_o say_v i_o know_v my_o iniquity_n and_o my_o sin_n be_v

thou_o iudge_v as_o the_o prodigal_a son_n confess_v his_o sin_n 15._o when_o he_o say_v father_n i_o have_v sin_v against_o heaven_n &_o before_o thou_o &_o be_o no_o more_o worthy_a to_o be_v call_v thy_o son_n and_o as_o yourselves_o confess_v your_o sin_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o every_o mass_n i_o say_v second_o that_o yourselves_o grant_v that_o venial_n need_v no_o confession_n at_o al._n and_o yet_o as_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v 34._o the_o least_o sin_n of_o all_o deserve_v eternal_a death_n for_o thus_o do_v your_o own_o famous_a canonist_n write_v quibus_fw-la consequens_fw-la

confess_v one_o venial_a sin_n and_o conceal_v another_o maior_n and_o other_o schooledoctor_n be_v of_o the_o same_o opinion_n i_o say_v three_o that_o by_o the_o scripture_n upon_o which_o you_o will_v glad_o ground_v your_o confession_n we_o be_v no_o less_o bind_v to_o confess_v one_o sin_n then_o another_o indifferent_o for_o your_o trivolous_a distinction_n of_o mortal_a and_o venial_a sin_n can_v be_v find_v in_o no_o text_n of_o holy_a scripture_n and_o consequent_o since_o the_o scripture_n itself_o by_o your_o grant_n free_v we_o from_o confess_v venial_n it_o follow_v direct_o that_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o confess_v none_o at_o all_o i_o say_v four_o that_o your_o confession_n be_v ridiculous_a indeed_o as_o which_o urge_v the_o penitent_a to_o confess_v those_o sin_n to_o

spend_v find_v so_o good_a success_n in_o his_o preach_n that_o jerusalem_n eucherius_n and_o all_o jury_n and_o all_o the_o country_n about_o jordan_n be_v desirous_a to_o be_v baptize_v and_o in_o

against_o the_o same_o frame_v brief_a pithy_a and_o evident_a solution_n thereunto_o the_o first_o objection_n the_o sabbatharies_n contend_v with_o tooth_n and_o nail_n that_o christian_n be_v no_o less_o bind_v this_o day_n to_o keep_v the_o legal_a sabbath_n than_o be_v the_o israelite_n in_o time_n of_o moses_n law_n and_o they_o prove_v it_o 3_o because_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o sanctify_v it_o which_o sanctification_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o commandment_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a as_o appear_v by_o the_o declaration_n make_v by_o moses_n again_o because_o this_o sanctification_n be_v forthwith_o after_o the_o creation_n and_o therefore_o as_o all_o nation_n be_v bind_v to_o make_v a_o memorial_n of_o the_o creation_n as_o well_o as_o the_o israelite_n so_o must_v all_o nation_n as_o well_o as_o the_o israelite_n keep_v holy_a the_o seven_o day_n that_o be_v the_o day_n of_o rest_n after_o the_o creation_n which_o be_v our_o saturday_n and_o upon_o which_o day_n the_o jew_n still_o keep_v their_o sabbath_n the_o answer_n i_o say_v first_o that_o there_o be_v no_o precept_n in_o the_o old_a or_o new_a testament_n by_o which_o either_o the_o gentile_n then_o or_o christian_n now_o be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o legal_a sabbath_n i_o say_v second_o that_o albeit_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o the_o father_n before_o the_o law_n have_v keep_v it_o yet_o will_v it_o not_o follow_v that_o we_o be_v bind_v by_o their_o ensample_n this_o day_n to_o keep_v the_o same_o for_o otherwise_o we_o shall_v be_v bind_v to_o offer_v up_o bloody_a sacrifice_n as_o they_o do_v both_o before_o and_o after_o the_o deluge_n the_o second_o objection_n god_n speak_v of_o the_o sabbath_n say_v it_o shall_v be_v a_o sign_n between_o he_o and_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n for_o ever_o and_o he_o add_v 17_o for_o in_o six_o day_n the_o lord_n make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o in_o the_o seven_o day_n rest_v therefore_o all_o nation_n be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n the_o answer_n i_o say_v first_o that_o the_o word_n ever_o be_v not_o take_v there_o simpliciter_fw-la but_o secundum_fw-la quid_fw-la as_o the_o school_n term_v it_o that_o be_v not_o for_o eternity_n or_o for_o the_o duration_n of_o this_o life_n but_o for_o all_o the_o time_n from_o moses_n unto_o christ_n which_o be_v 1495._o year_n i_o

and_o meditation_n of_o god_n work_n be_v a_o perpetual_a cause_n of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n it_o follow_v necessary_o that_o the_o law_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n must_v still_o abide_v in_o force_n the_o answer_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n be_v indeed_o a_o perpetual_a cause_n of_o a_o perpetual_a sabbath_n but_o not_o of_o a_o perpetual_a precise_a and_o determinate_a sabbath_n the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v evident_a because_o the_o memory_n of_o our_o creation_n may_v be_v do_v as_o convenient_o upon_o another_o day_n as_o upon_o the_o seven_o day_n thus_o my_o answer_n be_v confirm_v because_o the_o sabbath_n which_o we_o now_o keep_v be_v not_o the_o seven_o day_n but_o the_o eight_o for_o our_o sunday_n be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o

than_o if_o we_o keep_v god_n commandment_n it_o be_v a_o evident_a sign_n that_o we_o love_v god_n and_o that_o by_o faith_n we_o be_v of_o his_o free_a mercy_n make_v his_o child_n for_o the_o
