do_v miracle_n know_v that_o so_o to_o do_v by_o commission_n from_o god_n be_v not_o against_o his_o glory_n the_o answer_n i_o answer_v that_o although_o sundry_a of_o the_o people_n be_v reverent_o

god_n 〈◊〉_d will_v love_v he_o and_o be_v without_o fear_n i_o note_v second_o that_o they_o give_v glory_n to_o god_n but_o not_o to_o the_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n for_o albeit_o that_o no_o

pardon_n to_o the_o incestuous_a corinthian_a 10_o who_o have_v commit_v fornication_n with_o his_o father_n wife_n the_o answer_n i_o say_v first_o that_o if_o popish_a pardon_n shall_v be_v ground_v upon_o this_o place_n it_o will_v follow_v by_o a_o necessary_a consecution_n that_o the_o pope_n himself_o can_v pardon_v no_o more_o than_o every_o simple_a priest_n which_o sequel_n i_o

do_v the_o apostle_n say_v to_o who_o you_o pardon_v any_o thing_n i_o also_o pardon_n 10._o i_o say_v second_o that_o popish_a confession_n must_v of_o necessity_n go_v before_o popish_a pardon_v in_o all_o such_o as_o sin_v mortal_o and_o therefore_o since_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o once_o name_v popish_a confession_n it_o follow_v perforce_o that_o he_o neither_o speak_v of_o popish_a pardon_v i_o say_v three_o that_o the_o pardon_v whereof_o s._n paul_n speak_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o he_o who_o be_v excommunicate_a for_o his_o public_a trespass_n may_v after_o sign_n of_o true_a remorse_n be_v restore_v to_o the_o church_n again_o and_o after_o their_o sharp_a censure_n of_o correction_n 8._o find_v pardon_n and_o mercy_n at_o their_o hand_n this_o much_o i_o prove_v out_o of_o saint_n paul_n own_o word_n which_o be_v these_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o the_o same_o man_n that_o he_o be_v rebuke_v of_o many_o so_o now_o contrariwise_o you_o ought_v rather_o to_o forgive_v he_o and_o comfort_v he_o lest_o he_o shall_v be_v swallow_v up_o with_o overmuch_o heaviness_n wherefore_o i_o pray_v you_o that_o you_o will_v confirm_v your_o love_n towards_o he_o after_o this_o grave_n and_o godly_a exhortation_n he_o adjoin_v these_o word_n to_o who_o you_o forgive_v any_o thing_n i_o forgive_v also_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v if_o you_o be_v content_a to_o receive_v he_o into_o the_o church_n again_o i_o be_o therewith_o well_o please_v for_o he_o yield_v two_o reason_n why_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n ought_v to_o pardon_v the_o excommunicate_a person_n the_o one_o be_v for_o that_o he_o seem_v to_o have_v give_v sufficient_a sign_n of_o his_o unfeigned_a repentance_n the_o other_o be_v lest_o too_o much_o rigour_n of_o correction_n shall_v bring_v he_o to_o desperation_n for_o which_o cause_n s._n paul_n reque_v they_o to_o declare_v the_o consent_n of_o the_o whole_a congregation_n that_o he_o be_v take_v again_o for_o a_o brother_n and_o pardon_v for_o his_o offence_n so_o then_o s._n paul_n and_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n do_v pardon_v no_o otherwise_o indeed_o but_o even_o as_o we_o ourselves_o be_v
