essential_o of_o ordination_n require_v in_o scripture_n and_o as_o to_o our_o form_n of_o ordination_n he_o plain_o say_v that_o if_o the_o difference_n of_o the_o word_n herein_o from_o their_o

only_a point_n which_o they_o will_v insist_v upon_o when_o they_o come_v to_o dispute_v this_o matter_n in_o earnest_n be_v that_o by_o our_o ordinal_n we_o do_v not_o give_v our_o priest_n the_o power_n of_o offer_v up_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n for_o they_o say_v that_o in_o the_o office_n of_o a_o priest_n be_v contain_v two_o power_n the_o power_n of_o sacrifice_v and_o the_o power_n of_o absolve_v from_o sin_n and_o that_o this_o twofold_a power_n be_v confer_v by_o a_o twofold_a matter_n and_o form_n in_o ordination_n that_o in_o confer_v the_o first_o power_n the_o

these_o power_n essential_o and_o indivisible_o contain_v in_o the_o office_n of_o a_o priest_n and_o that_o both_o these_o rite_n the_o first_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o council_n of_o

we_o have_v not_o the_o whole_a power_n of_o priesthood_n confer_v on_o we_o but_o only_o that_o of_o remit_v sin_n as_o your_o paper_n mention_n and_o on_o this_o account_n the_o other_o part_n of_o
