on_o the_o contrary_a the_o lord_n primate_n in_o his_o answer_n to_o the_o jesuit_n challenge_n have_v write_v one_o whole_a chapter_n against_o the_o real_a presence_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o

concern_v the_o real_a presence_n be_v no_o more_o than_o this_o viz._n that_o in_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n we_o be_v to_o distinguish_v between_o the_o outward_a and_o th●_n inward_a action_n of_o the_o communicant_a in_o the_o outward_a wi●●_n our_o bodily_a mouth_n we_o receive_v real_o the_o visible_a element_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n in_o the_o inward_a we_o do_v by_o faith_n real_o receive_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o be_v true_o and_o indeed_o make_v partaker_n of_o christ_n crucify_v to_o the_o spiritual_a

church_n of_o england_n will_v stick_v to_o say_v 5._o the_o church_n of_o england_n teach_v that_o the_o priest_n have_v power_n to_o forgive_v sin_n as_o may_v be_v easy_o prove_v by_o three_o several_a argument_n not_o very_o easy_a to_o be_v answer_v the_o first_o be_v from_o those_o solemn_a word_n use_v in_o the_o ordination_n of_o the_o priest_n or_o presbyter_n that_o be_v to_o say_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o sin_n you_o forgive_v they_o be_v forgive_v and_o who_o sin_n you_o retain_v they_o be_v retain_v which_o be_v a_o gross_a profanation_n of_o the_o word_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n and_o a_o mere_a mockery_n of_o the_o priest_n if_o no_o such_o power_n be_v give_v unto_o he_o as_o be_v there_o affirm_v the_o second_o argument_n be_v take_v from_o one_o of_o the_o exhortation_n before_o the_o communion_n where_o we_o find_v it_o thus_o viz._n and_o because_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o no_o man_n shall_v come_v to_o the_o holy_a communion_n but_o with_o a_o full_a trust_n in_o god_n mercy_n and_o with_o a_o quiet_a conscience_n therefore_o if_o there_o be_v any_o of_o you_o which_o by_o the_o mean_v aforesaid_a can_v quiet_v his_o own_o conscience_n but_o require_v further_a comfort_n or_o counsel_n then_o let_v he_o come_v to_o i_o or_o to_o some_o other_o discreet_a and_o learned_a minister_n of_o god_n word_n and_o open_v his_o grief_n that_o he_o may_v receive_v such_o ghostly_a counsel_n advice_n and_o comfort_n as_o his_o conscience_n may_v be_v relieve_v and_o that_o by_o the_o ministry_n of_o god_n word_n he_o may_v receive_v comfort_n and_o the_o benefit_n of_o absolution_n to_o the_o quiet_v of_o his_o conscience_n and_o avoid_v of_o all_o scruple_n and_o doubtfulness_n the_o three_o and_o most_o material_a proof_n we_o have_v in_o the_o form_n prescribe_v for_o the_o visitation_n of_o the_o sick_a in_o which_o it_o be_v require_v that_o after_o the_o sick_a person_n have_v make_v a_o confession_n of_o his_o faith_n and_o profess_v himself_o to_o be_v in_o charity_n with_o all_o man_n he_o shall_v then_o make_v a_o special_a confession_n if_o he_o feel_v his_o conscience_n trouble_v with_o any_o weighty_a matter_n and_o then_o it_o follow_v that_o after_o such_o confession_n the_o minister_n shall_v absolve_v he_o in_o this_o manner_n viz._n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v leave_v power_n to_o his_o church_n to_o absolve_v all_o sinner_n which_o true_o repent_v and_o believe_v in_o he_o of_o his_o great_a mercy_n forgive_v thou_o thy_o offence_n and_o by_o his_o authority_n commit_v to_o i_o i_o absolve_v thou_o from_o all_o thy_o sin_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n amen_n of_o the_o first_o of_o these_o three_o place_n deduce_v all_o of_o they_o from_o the_o best_a monument_n and_o record_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n the_o lord_n primate_n take_v notice_n in_o his_o answer_n to_o the_o jesuit_n challenge_n p._n 109._o where_o he_o treatech_v purposely_o of_o the_o priest_n power_n to_o forgive_v sin_n but_o give_v we_o such_o a_o gloss_n upon_o it_o as_o utter_o subvert_v as_o well_o the_o doctrine_n of_o this_o church_n in_o that_o particular_a as_o her_o purpose_n in_o it_o and_o of_o the_o second_o he_o take_v notice_n p._n 81._o where_o he_o speak_v purposely_o of_o confession_n but_o give_v we_o such_o a_o gloss_n upon_o that_o also_o as_o he_o do_v on_o the_o other_o but_o of_o the_o three_o which_o be_v more_o positive_a and_o material_a than_o the_o other_o

of_o god_n that_o his_o sin_n be_v pardon_v and_o sometime_o that_o the_o priest_n forgive_v sin_n only_o optatiuè_fw-la by_o the_o way_n of_o prayer_n and_o intercession_n when_o on_o the_o like_a
