&_o power_n and_o xxiiii_o cue_n i._o loquor_fw-la it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o other_o apostle_n be_v as_o peter_n be_v /_o endue_v in_o one_o like_o fellowship_n both_o of_o honour_n and_o power_n and_o since_o the_o power_n of_o all_o the_o apostle_n by_o wytnesse_n of_o the_o law_n /_o that_o be_v call_v the_o pope_n own_o law_n be_v like_a why_o shall_v than_o they_o that_o pretend_v to_o be_v the_o successor_n of_o peter_n /_o usurp_v that_o power_n only_o to_o themselves_o and_o yet_o that_o usurpation_n appear_v the_o more_o plain_o by_o cause_n that_o in_o the_o xviii_o chapter_n of_o mat._n our_o lord_n say_v to_o his_o discyple_n general_o the_o same_o word_n before_o rehearse_v /_o that_o be_v to_o say_v what_o soever_o you_o lose_v upon_o earth_n shall_v be_v lose_v in_o heaven_n &_o it_o must_v of_o necessyte_n be_v take_v /_o that_o by_o that_o word_n discyple_n /_o he_o mean_v either_o his_o apostel_n which_o be_v oft_o call_v in_o the_o gospel_n discyple_n or_o else_o that_o he_o mean_v thereby_o the_o lxxii_o discyple_n or_o else_o that_o he_o mean_v they_o both_o and_o if_o he_o mean_v thereby_o the_o xii_o apostle_n only_o /_o than_o every_o one_o of_o they_o have_v yet_o by_o those_o word_n as_o high_a power_n as_o any_o of_o the_o other_o have_v and_o if_o he_o mean_v thereby_o the_o lxxii_o discyple_n &_o the_o xii_o appostels_n also_o than_o have_v every_o priest_n to_o this_o day_n power_n to_o grant_n pardon_v /_o because_o he_o be_v the_o successor_n of_o the_o lxxii_o discyple_n /_o &_o if_o they_o have_v so_o a_o i_o think_v very_o it_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o they_o have_v it_o be_v great_o to_o be_v meruel_v /_o why_o they_o or_o bishop_n either_o will_v renounce_v &_o forsake_v that_o power_n that_o be_v so_o plain_o give_v to_o they_o by_o christ_n howbeit_o some_o man_n ween_v that_o it_o be_v do_v to_o the_o intent_n that_o they_o by_o that_o occasyon_n &_o other_o like_o may_v make_v one_o bysshop_n so_o high_a in_o auctorite_n above_o all_o other_o bishop_n and_o prestê_n /_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o match_v with_o king_n &_o prince_n &_o if_o bysshop_n &_o prestê_n have_v that_o power_n than_o may_v king_n &_o prince_n command_v they_o to_o exercise_v that_o power_n for_o the_o renounse_v of_o their_o predecessoure_n in_o that_o behalf_n bind_v they_o not_o and_o nevertheless_o upon_o that_o renounse_v /_o have_v follow_v this_o inconuenyence_n /_o that_o none_o can_v have_v such_o pardon_n or_o absolution_n but_o from_o rome_n /_o and_o that_o not_o free_o /_o but_z for_o great_a sum_n of_o money_n /_o except_o only_o that_o to_o please_v cardynalle_n /_o archebysshoppes_n and_o bysshoppe_n it_o be_v agree_v that_o cardynalle_n and_o archebysshoppe_n /_o shall_v have_v power_n to_o grant_v a_o hundred_o day_n of_o pardon_n and_o bysshoppe_n xl_o day_n but_o as_o for_o preste_n which_o be_v and_o be_v conversaunt_a daily_o among_o the_o people_n in_o every_o parysshe_v /_o and_o that_o may_v have_v do_v most_o good_a therewith_o to_o the_o peple_n as_o i_o shall_v somewhat_o touch_v afterward_o be_v no_o provysyon_n for_o all_o the_o study_n &_o dilygence_n be_v to_o exalte_n busshop_n and_o here_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v how_o great_a dissymulatyon_n and_o pride_n be_v in_o this_o conveyance_n aswell_o in_o the_o successor_n of_o peter_n as_o of_o the_o other_o apostle_n in_o those_o day_n for_o if_o that_o power_n have_v be_v only_o grant_v to_o peter_n and_o his_o successor_n /_o than_o may_v not_o he_o nor_o his_o successor_n have_v grant_v his_o power_n /_o nor_o no_o part_n thereof_o to_o any_o other_o for_o it_o can_v not_o be_v prove_v neither_o by_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o text_n /_o ne_o yet_o /_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o intent_n of_o christ_n /_o that_o he_o will_v that_o peter_n shall_v make_v such_o deputye_n and_o he_o make_v not_o only_o cardinal_n /_o archbysshops_n &_o bysshop_n his_o deputy_n to_o grant_n such_o pardon_n as_o he_o appoint_v they_o /_o as_z be_v aforesaid_a but_o he_o grant_v also_o many_o time_n such_o deputacyon_n condycyonal_o to_o all_o preste_n secular_a &_o regular_a /_o as_o though_o they_o shall_v have_v their_o power_n only_o from_o he_o &_o therefore_o he_o grant_v his_o pardon_n many_o time_n under_o this_o manner_n /_o that_o who_o soever_o will_v gyve_v such_o a_o some_o of_o money_n to_o the_o reperation_n of_o s._n peter_n church_n at_o rome_n /_o or_z to_o some_o other_o intent_n express_v in_o the_o bull_n that_o they_o shall_v among_o other_o thing_n have_v auctorite_n to_o take_v a_o able_a ghostly_a father_n /_o secular_a or_o regular_a /_o that_o shall_v have_v power_n to_o assoil_v they_o from_o all_o their_o offence_n /_o &_o also_o from_o the_o pain_n dew_n for_o it_o /_o except_o that_o comenly_a in_o such_o pardon_v some_o thing_n be_v always_o reserve_v to_o rome_n /_o as_z for_o a_o remembrance_n that_o man_n shall_v not_o forget_v the_o way_n thither_o and_o how_o can_v the_o pope_n grant_v power_n to_o such_o confessor_n to_o assoil_v any_o man_n from_o pain_n /_o if_o the_o confessoure_n have_v not_o have_v that_o power_n before_o of_o god_n and_o if_o every_o priest_n have_v such_o power_n of_o god_n /_o as_z i_o think_v very_o he_o have_v as_o well_o as_o any_o bysshop_n than_o it_o seem_v that_o it_o be_v good_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v command_v to_o use_v that_o power_n hereafter_o by_o way_n of_o absolucyon_n free_o /_o to_o the_o ease_n &_o conforte_v of_o the_o people_n /_o &_o they_o not_o to_o be_v dryven_v to_o go_v to_o any_o bysshop_n for_o it_o and_o if_o that_o power_n be_v so_o order_v /_o than_o all_o the_o good_a dede_n that_o any_o man_n shall_v do_v after_o such_o absolucyon_n by_o way_n of_o penance_n or_o other_o wise_n /_o shall_v be_v avaylable_a to_o he_o to_o increase_v his_o joy_n in_o heaven_n /_o and_o not_o only_o for_o put_v away_o of_o pain_n for_o their_o sin_n pass_v and_o as_o it_o seem_v it_o be_v very_a convenyent_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v such_o a_o absolucyon_n a_fw-fr pena_fw-la et_fw-la culpa_fw-la in_o christes_fw-la church_n for_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o law_n of_o grace_n &_o mercy_n and_o the_o old_a law_n be_v call_v the_o law_n of_o justice_n and_o always_o in_o the_o old_a law_n /_o by_o a_o full_a &_o parfyte_n contricyon_n equivalent_a to_o the_o actual_a sin_n the_o sine_fw-la /_o &_o also_o the_o pain_n for_o the_o sin_n be_v put_v away_o /_o except_o only_o the_o origynall_a sin_n /_o &_o therefore_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o the_o new_a law_n shall_v be_v more_o favourable_a than_o that_o be_v /_o and_o that_o be_v as_o i_o suppose_v by_o such_o absolucyon_n /_o whereby_o all_o the_o good_a dede_n that_o the_o penytent_n shall_v do_v after_o the_o absolucyon_n shall_v be_v turn_v holly_o to_o his_o reward_n in_o heaven_n as_o be_v afore_o say_v and_o furthermore_o if_o it_o be_v admyt_v that_o the_o successor_n of_o peter_n shall_v have_v only_o the_o power_n to_o grant_v pardon_n yet_o nevertheless_o it_o appear_v evydent_o that_o they_o have_v in_o time_n pass_v rizt_v great_o abuse_v their_o power_n therein_o for_o the_o wordê_n that_o give_v they_o power_n in_o that_o behalf_n /_o be_v the_o wordê_n before_o rehearse_v whatsoever_o thou_o lose_v upon_o earth_n shall_v be_v lose_v in_o heaven_n by_o which_o word_n it_o appear_v that_o the_o meaning_n of_o our_o lord_n be_v /_o that_o peter_n shall_v have_v non_fw-fr authority_n to_o lose_v any_o man_n by_o that_o grant_n but_o such_o as_o be_v bind_v to_o some_o thing_n before_o such_o lose_v as_o if_o a_o man_n have_v offend_v /_o &_o be_v by_o reason_n of_o that_o offence_n bind_v to_o a_o certain_a pain_n for_o it_o /_o that_z than_o pet_n &_o his_o successor_n shall_v have_v power_n to_o release_v it_o and_o that_o if_o he_o release_v that_o pain_n in_o earth_n /_o that_o god_n will_v release_v it_o in_o heaven_n and_o i_o can_v right_v well_o agree_v that_o he_o have_v that_o power_n &_o dyvers_a other_o also_o as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o but_o how_o far_o his_o successor_n have_v abuse_v that_o power_n it_o may_v appear_v thus_o they_o have_v grant_v their_o pardon_n not_o only_o for_o release_v of_o pain_n for_o such_o sin_n as_o be_v do_v afore_o the_o time_n of_o the_o grant_n but_o they_o have_v grant_v also_o /_o that_o all_o they_o that_o will_v give_v such_o a_o some_o of_o money_n /_o shall_v have_v power_n to_o choose_v they_o a_o able_a ghostly_a father_n /_o that_z shall_v assoil_v they_o as_o well_o of_o the_o offence_n do_v after_o the_o pardon_n grant_v as_o before_o and_o also_o of_o the_o
