circumstance_n of_o it_o 4._o the_o first_o be_v that_o this_o power_n be_v divine_a it_o pertain_v not_o proper_o but_o to_o he_o who_o receive_v a_o injury_n to_o remit_v and_o pardon_v it_o it_o belong_v then_o to_o god_n to_o remit_v offence_n against_o he_o wherefore_o the_o pharisee_n hear_v our_o saviour_n say_v to_o the_o paralytic_a thy_o sin_n be_v forgive_v thou_o and_o not_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v god_n think_v that_o he_o blaspheme_v what_o will_v they_o have_v then_o think_v what_o wou●d_v they_o have_v say_v if_o they_o have_v know_v as_o we_o know_v that_o jesus_n christ_n will_v give_v to_o man_n and_o to_o sinful_a man_n this_o power_n 5._o a_o power_n in_o the_o second_o place_n so_o sovereign_a that_o it_o be_v definitive_a without_o appeal_n the_o sentence_n which_o priest_n pronounce_v and_o all_o that_o they_o just_o ordain_v on_o earth_n be_v ratifyd_v infallible_o in_o heaven_n when_o you_o have_v confess_v with_o necessary_a disposition_n if_o the_o priest_n say_v to_o you_o i_o absolve_v thou_o etc._n etc._n fear_v not_o that_o god_n will_v condemn_v you_o he_o can_v fail_v in_o his_o promise_n and_o he_o promise_v to_o absolve_v you_o if_o the_o priest_n absolve_v you_o legitimat_o 6._o and_o this_o be_v do_v with_o so_o much_o authority_n and_o majesty_n that_o this_o power_n be_v perfect_o royal_a for_o the_o priest_n absolve_v not_o pray_v if_o he_o shall_v say_v over_o you_o the_o misereatur_fw-la only_o or_o shall_v pray_v god_n to_o absolve_v you_o you_o will_v not_o be_v absolve_v jesus-christ_n will_v that_o he_o say_v i_o absolve_v thou_o and_o heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v melt_v rather_o than_o you_o shall_v fail_v of_o absolution_n how_o ever_o great_a and_o enormous_a your_o sin_n may_v be_v 7._o this_o be_v a_o four_o circumstance_n of_o this_o power_n that_o it_o be_v most_o ample_a absolute_a and_o general_a without_o exception_n restriction_n or_o modification_n for_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n which_o the_o church_n can_v remit_v since_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v say_v absolute_o and_o without_o reserve_v who_o sin_n you_o shall_v remit_v shall_v be_v remit_v 8._o but_o that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v admire_v most_o in_o this_o power_n be_v the_o facility_n and_o convenience_n we_o have_v to_o use_v it_o it_o be_v true_a that_o have_v commit_v a_o sin_n it_o be_v not_o so_o easy_a as_o some_o think_v to_o have_v a_o true_a repentance_n of_o it_o we_o must_v ask_v it_o instant_o of_o god_n and_o endeavour_v to_o obtain_v it_o of_o he_o by_o good_a work_n but_o when_o we_o have_v obtain_v it_o what_o be_v more_o easy_a than_o to_o find_v a_o priest_n who_o may_v absolve_v we_o have_v we_o not_o great_a cause_n to_o be_v astonish_v and_o to_o cry_v out_o my_o god_n how_o have_v you_o be_v so_o liberal_a as_o to_o give_v this_o power_n to_o your_o church_n and_o to_o so_o many_o priest_n if_o you_o have_v give_v it_o but_o to_o the_o pope_n or_o to_o patriarch_n or_o to_o bishop_n or_o for_o one_o only_a time_n of_o the_o life_n of_o each_o one_o the_o excess_n of_o liberality_n will_v not_o have_v seem_v so_o great_a but_o for_o always_o for_o so_o many_o time_n and_o to_o so_o many_o priest_n what_o excess_n of_o love_n of_o grace_n and_o mercy_n o_o how_o will_v a_o soul_n that_o consider_v well_o thi●_n benefit_n melt_v with_o dilection_n how_o will_v she_o burn_v with_o the_o love_n of_o such_o a_o benefactor_n how_o often_o will_v she_o kiss_v those_o sacred_a wound_n how_o often_o will_v she_o bless_v that_o adorable_a blood_n which_o purchase_v

be_v not_o subject_a to_o these_o passion_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o in_o our_o saviour_n as_o he_o be_v god_n there_o be_v no_o such_o passion_n for_o his_o divinity_n be_v most_o pure_a simple_a and_o invariable_a can_v be_v subject_a to_o these_o transport_n and_o alteration_n 3._o nevertheless_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o scripture_n to_o condescend_v to_o our_o infirmity_n and_o to_o

because_o it_o have_v the_o same_o effect_n as_o anger_n but_o not_o the_o weakness_n and_o imperfection_n of_o anger_n he_o that_o be_v angry_a revenge_n the_o injury_n receive_v but_o with_o

ghost_n in_o the_o book_n of_o wisdom_n 4._o but_o if_o we_o consider_v jesus-christ_n as_o man_n i_o will_v say_v with_o divine_n that_o the_o passion_n love_n hatred_n choler_n and_o joy_n sorrow_n

be_v perfection_n natural_a organ_n and_o instrument_n which_o he_o apply_v to_o holy_a use_n wherefore_o the_o saint_n dare_v not_o call_v they_o simple_o passion_n but_o propassion_n to_o signify_v
