attrition_n which_o be_v but_o a_o imperfect_a degree_n of_o sorrow_n for_o fear_n of_o hell_n and_o can_v produce_v only_o some_o faint_a and_o sudden_a thought_n of_o amendment_n do_v qualify_v sinner_n for_o absolution_n and_o we_o say_v whatever_o the_o doctrine_n of_o their_o church_n teach_v the_o constant_a practice_n of_o absolve_v all_o that_o confess_v without_o any_o apparent_a sign_n of_o repentance_n and_o purpose_n of_o a_o new_a life_n and_o that_o after_o many_o and_o repeat_v relapse_n be_v apt_a to_o teach_v man_n to_o place_v their_o confidence_n in_o the_o priest_n absolution_n without_o any_o serious_a intention_n to_o forsake_v their_o wickedness_n viii_o of_o indulgence_n we_o charge_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n with_o teach_v the_o pope_n power_n to_o grant_v indulgence_n not_o to_o commit_v sin_n for_o the_o future_a but_o for_o the_o pardon_n of_o those_o sin_n which_o be_v commit_v that_o be_v for_o the_o remit_v those_o temporal_a punishment_n which_o be_v due_a to_o sin_n in_o purgatory_n the_o absolution_n of_o the_o priest_n remit_v the_o eternal_a punishment_n of_o sin_n and_o keep_v man_n out_o of_o hell_n but_o still_o the_o temporal_a punishment_n in_o purgatory_n remain_v due_a and_o this_o must_v be_v take_v off_o either_o by_o humane_a satisfaction_n and_o penance_n of_o which_o present_o or_o by_o the_o pope_n pardon_n which_o sure_o be_v a_o different_o thing_n from_o the_o relaxation_n of_o canonical_a penance_n as_o the_o representer_n state_n it_o for_o i_o never_o hear_v before_o that_o purgatory_n fire_n be_v a_o canonical_a penance_n enjoin_v by_o the_o church_n for_o sure_a the_o decree_n of_o the_o church_n do_v not_o kindle_v purgatory_n and_o it_o be_v strange_a the_o church_n shall_v grant_v so_o many_o thousand_o year_n pardon_v of_o canonical_a penance_n if_o they_o concern_v this_o life_n as_o some_o indulgence_n contain_v when_o few_o man_n live_v a_o hundred_o year_n in_o this_o world_n and_o then_o have_v no_o need_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n we_o say_v the_o pope_n have_v and_o do_v to_o this_o day_n sell_v these_o indulgence_n at_o different_a rate_n according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o crime_n and_o man_n who_o have_v money_n need_v not_o fear_v the_o purgatory_n fire_n and_o man_n who_o have_v none_o must_v be_v content_v to_o endure_v they_o this_o we_o grant_v with_o the_o representer_n to_o be_v a_o great_a abuse_n but_o it_o be_v a_o abuse_n of_o their_o pope_n and_o hardly_o separable_a from_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o indulgence_n ix_o of_o satisfaction_n we_o charge_v they_o with_o make_v human_a penance_n necessary_a to_o satisfy_v for_o the_o temporal_a punishment_n which_o be_v due_a to_o sin_n in_o purgatory_n when_o the_o eternal_a punishment_n be_v pardon_v for_o the_o merit_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n which_o we_o say_v be_v injurious_a to_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n for_o all_o man_n must_v grant_v that_o christ_n have_v be_v a_o more_o perfect_a saviour_n have_v he_o by_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n deliver_v we_o from_o the_o temporal_a punishment_n of_o sin_n in_o purgatory_n as_o well_o as_o from_o the_o eternal_a pain_n of_o hell_n yet_o we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o they_o believe_v very_o injurious_o of_o the_o passion_n of_o christ_n that_o his_o suffering_n and_o death_n be_v not_o sufficient_o satisfactory_a for_o our_o sin_n and_o therefore_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o themselves_o but_o that_o they_o believe_v as_o their_o church_n teach_v they_o that_o they_o must_v satisfy_v themselves_o for_o the_o temporal_a punishment_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o this_o be_v injurious_a to_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ._n we_o do_v not_o charge_v they_o with_o evacuate_a christ_n passion_n by_o rely_v on_o their_o own_o penitential_a work_n but_o that_o they_o rely_v on_o christ_n to_o satisfy_v for_o the_o eternal_a punishment_n of_o sin_n and_o on_o their_o own_o satisfaction_n for_o the_o temporal_a punishment_n which_o ascribe_v indeed_o the_o better_a half_n but_o not_o the_o whole_a to_o christ_n and_o all_o this_o the_o representer_n own_v x._o of_o read_v the_o holy_a scripture_n we_o only_o charge_v they_o with_o deny_v the_o people_n the_o use_n of_o the_o bible_n in_o the_o vulgar_a tongue_n as_o every_o body_n know_v they_o do_v and_o as_o the_o representer_n own_v and_o defend_v it_o and_o to_o justify_v this_o practice_n we_o say_v many_o of_o their_o divine_n have_v charge_v the_o scripture_n with_o be_v a_o very_a dark_a obscure_a unintelligible_a book_n and_o that_o it_o be_v of_o very_o dangerous_a consequence_n to_o grant_v a_o liberty_n to_o the_o people_n to_o read_v it_o and_o this_o we_o think_v be_v not_o much_o for_o the_o credit_n and_o reputation_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o we_o do_v not_o as_o the_o misrepresenter_n say_v charge_v the_o papist_n with_o believe_v it_o part_n of_o his_o duty_n to_o think_v mean_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o to_o speak_v irreverent_o of_o the_o scripture_n whether_o deny_v the_o people_n the_o use_n of_o the_o bible_n in_o a_o

effect_n be_v plain_a that_o it_o keep_v people_n in_o great_a ignorance_n and_o as_o we_o fear_v occasion_n the_o eternal_a damnation_n of_o many_o soul_n though_o we_o do_v not_o say_v as_o the_o misrepresenter_n do_v that_o they_o do_v it_o with_o this_o design_n that_o man_n may_v be_v preserve_v in_o ignorance_n and_o damn_v eternal_o but_o they_o know_v their_o own_o design_n best_o xi_o of_o apocryphal_a book_n here_o can_v be_v no_o pretence_n of_o misrepresent_v unless_o it_o be_v in_o the_o first_o clause_n which_o he_o usual_o take_v care_n shall_v contain_v some_o

this_o indeed_o we_o think_v to_o be_v make_v addition_n to_o the_o scripture_n but_o we_o do_v charge_v they_o with_o believe_v that_o they_o may_v make_v what_o addition_n to_o the_o scripture_n they_o please_v for_o we_o believe_v they_o have_v so_o much_o wit_n as_o to_o know_v it_o safe_a to_o do_v it_o than_o to_o say_v it_o may_v be_v do_v xii_o of_o the_o vulgar_a edition_n of_o the_o

original_n for_o the_o interpretation_n of_o doubtful_a place_n and_o we_o know_v not_o what_o authority_n can_v make_v a_o translation_n more_o authentic_a than_o the_o original_a that_o this_o be_v true_o charge_v on_o they_o the_o representer_n can_v deny_v though_o the_o misrepresenter_n make_v tragical_a work_n with_o it_o as_o any_o one_o may_v see_v who_o will_v divert_v himself_o with_o

we_o do_v not_o charge_v they_o with_o deny_v in_o express_a word_n the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o be_v a_o rule_n but_o with_o say_v that_o which_o be_v equivalent_a to_o it_o that_o

the_o faith_n but_o by_o the_o interpretation_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n which_o do_v effectual_o divest_v it_o of_o the_o authority_n of_o a_o rule_n for_o that_o be_v my_o rule_n
