between_o the_o dissenter_n and_o we_o about_o the_o power_n of_o absolution_n or_o the_o ministerial_a power_n of_o forgive_a sin_n they_o and_o we_o agree_v that_o christ_n have_v leave_v such_o a_o

of_o rome_n which_o we_o say_v be_v reserve_v for_o the_o great_a judge_n of_o the_o world_n and_o it_o be_v very_o strange_a they_o shall_v peremptory_o charge_v we_o with_o give_v the_o power_n of_o

bold_a sometime_o to_o contradict_v himself_o yet_o i_o doubt_v the_o dissenter_n will_v think_v themselves_o misrepresent_v by_o such_o contradiction_n but_o do_v ever_o any_o dissenter_n charge_v we_o with_o encourage_v a_o deathbed_n repentance_n for_o not_o oblige_v man_n to_o confession_n and_o penance_n which_o he_o call_v to_o confess_v and_o repent_v in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o

to_o receive_v ghostly_a comfort_n and_o advice_n and_o we_o teach_v they_o to_o repent_v of_o their_o sin_n and_o reform_v they_o in_o time_n of_o health_n and_o show_v they_o what_o great_a danger_n there_o be_v in_o a_o deathbed_n repentance_n and_o how_o very_o seldom_o it_o prove_v true_a which_o be_v no_o great_a encouragement_n to_o such_o delay_n but_o how_o the_o dissenter_n who_o reject_v

much_o as_o in_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n for_o we_o be_v only_o require_v to_o give_v absolution_n in_o case_n the_o penitent_n earnest_o desire_v it_o and_o therefore_o according_a to_o his_o reason_n it_o follow_v that_o we_o think_v repentance_n never_o necessary_a not_o so_o much_o as_o in_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n but_o other_o man_n who_o have_v common_a understanding_n will_v hence_o conclude_v that_o we_o make_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o sinner_n repentance_n and_o the_o priest_n absolution_n that_o the_o first_o be_v always_o necessary_a the_o other_o only_o in_o case_n of_o church_n censure_n or_o to_o give_v relief_n to_o afflict_a conscience_n or_o to_o dismiss_v penitent_a sinner_n in_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n do_v not_o dissenter_n
