contrariwise_o to_o preach_v and_o pronounce_v malediction_n and_o wrath_n upon_o the_o vacant_a therefore_o saint_n hierome_n say_v the_o bishop_n or_o priest_n neither_o bind_v the_o innocent_a nor_o lose_v the_o guilty_a 16._o but_o accord_v to_o his_o office_n when_o he_o have_v hear_v the_o diversity_n of_o sin_n as_o in_o public_a offence_n he_o know_v who_o ought_v to_o be_v bind_v who_o ought_v to_o be_v loose_v also_o peter_n lombard_n say_v ideo_fw-la god_n have_v give_v to_o priest_n power_n to_o bind_v &_o to_o loose_v that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o declare_v unto_o man_n that_o the_o penitent_n be_v either_o bind_v or_o loose_v saint_n augustine_n have_v these_o word_n we_o speak_v in_o your_o ear_n 101._o but_o how_o know_v we_o what_o be_v wrought_v in_o your_o
