although_o he_o have_v say_v it_o yet_o our_o confession_n of_o the_o faith_n in_o the_o seven_o article_n protest_v the_o contrary_a in_o these_o word_n say_v not_o that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o evil_a or_o that_o the_o fault_n can_v be_v impute_v unto_o he_o see_v that_o his_o will_n be_v the_o sovereign_a and_o the_o infallible_a rule_n of_o all_o doctrine_n and_o equity_n 17_o it_o be_v false_a that_o we_o say_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v easy_a to_o be_v understand_v and_o that_o the_o understanding_n thereof_o be_v give_v unto_o all_o man_n in_o it_o there_o be_v obscure_a

that_o in_o thing_n which_o be_v plain_a and_o manifest_a in_o the_o scripture_n and_o which_o have_v no_o need_n of_o interpretation_n all_o that_o which_o be_v necessary_a for_o our_o salvation_n

church_n to_o remit_v sin_n faithful_a pastor_n have_v that_o power_n but_o their_o pardon_n be_v conditional_a so_o the_o party_n be_v a_o repentant_a sinner_n which_o be_v not_o certane_o know_v but_o to_o god_n only_o therefore_o their_o judgement_n must_v of_o force_n be_v conditional_a as_o the_o holy_a scripture_n say_v that_o pastor_n save_o soul_n because_o god_n use_v their_o ministry_n to_o save_v they_o so_o it_o say_v that_o pastor_n pardon_v sin_n because_o god_n use_v their_o mean_n to_o pardon_v they_o 21_o it_o be_v false_a that_o our_o church_n have_v make_v any_o

only_o we_o reject_v that_o distinction_n which_o be_v make_v between_o mortal_a and_o venial_a sin_n that_o be_v pardonable_a because_o those_o sin_n which_o be_v call_v mortal_a be_v pardonable_a in_o those_o that_o convert_n and_o amend_v their_o life_n and_o those_o sin_n that_o be_v call_v venial_a be_v mortal_a when_o man_n persevere_v therein_o till_o they_o die_v and_o that_o contempt_n

false_a that_o we_o hold_v for_o a_o most_o assure_a thing_n that_o the_o saint_n have_v equal_a glory_n in_o heaven_n that_o be_v no_o article_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n we_o condemn_v no_o man_n for_o that_o opinion_n but_o suffer_v every_o man_n to_o conceive_v thereof_o as_o he_o think_v it_o most_o probable_a but_o the_o pope_n which_o give_v a_o degree_n of_o glory_n unto_o some_o man_n above_o the_o vulgar_a saint_n be_v bind_v to_o maintain_v that_o inequality_n 26_o it_o be_v false_a that_o we_o say_v that_o we_o must_v not_o use_v the_o imposition_n of_o hand_n which_o the_o apostle_n use_v in_o samaria_n and_o in_o ephesus_n whosoever_o have_v the_o virtue_n by_o imposition_n of_o hand_n to_o confer_v the_o same_o miraculous_a grace_n and_o the_o gift_n of_o tongue_n which_o the_o apostle_n confer_v shall_v do_v well_o to_o use_v that_o ceremony_n 27_o it_o be_v false_a that_o we_o say_v that_o the_o precept_n to_o anoint_v the_o sick_a with_o oil_n whereof_o s._n james_n speak_v ought_v not_o to_o be_v practise_v in_o the_o church_n we_o know_v that_o not_o only_o the_o apostle_n but_o also_o their_o disciple_n after_o they_o do_v profitable_o use_v the_o
