this_o doctrine_n be_v confirm_v by_o their_o famous_a cardinal_n caietan_n who_o avouch_v two_o special_a ground_n against_o popish_a auricular_a confession_n for_o 20._o first_o although_o christ_n by_o his_o opinion_n institute_v confession_n yet_o do_v he_o make_v it_o voluntary_a and_o leave_v it_o in_o man_n election_n whether_o he_o will_v confess_v or_o not_o confess_v again_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o manner_n of_o popish_a confession_n to_o wit_n to_o confess_v secret_o in_o the_o priest_n ear_n be_v not_o ordain_v by_o our_o saviour_n christ._n out_o of_o which_o assertion_n i_o infer_v a_o double_a conclusion_n against_o the_o papist_n the_o one_o that_o confession_n be_v not_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n for_o that_o which_o be_v voluntary_a as_o to_o be_v a_o monk_n a_o nun_n a_o priest_n a_o jesuite_n be_v not_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n as_o every_o papist_n grant_v but_o be_v as_o a_o counsel_n &_o work_v of_o supererogation_n the_o other_o that_o popish_a law_n urge_v man_n to_o auricular_a confession_n be_v flat_a against_o christ_n institution_n and_o thus_o i_o ween_v i_o have_v prove_v this_o conclusion_n the_o sixth_o conclusion_n if_o popish_a confession_n be_v ordain_v by_o christ_n as_o the_o papist_n false_o and_o gross_o imagine_v yet_o will_v it_o follow_v by_o a_o necessary_a consecution_n that_o every_o pope_n shall_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o his_o salvation_n this_o conclusion_n may_v seem_v somewhat_o strange_a but_o i_o prove_v the_o fame_n by_o popish_a doctrine_n every_o man_n and_o every_o woman_n of_o lawful_a year_n be_v bind_v under_o pain_n of_o damnation_n to_o the_o say_a confession_n and_o consequent_o the_o pope_n be_v either_o man_n or_o at_o least_o woman_n as_o be_v think_v of_o pope_n john_n be_v

est_fw-la and_o that_o the_o reader_n may_v full_o understand_v the_o difficulty_n herein_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o no_o priest_n can_v absolve_v any_o person_n from_o his_o sin_n over_o who_o he_o have_v not_o superiority_n and_o jurisdiction_n but_o his_o holiness_n have_v both_o the_o sword_n his_o power_n be_v above_o king_n and_o emperiour_n and_o over_o he_o no_o mortal_a

of_o some_o which_o some_o must_v have_v jurisdiction_n over_o he_o stand_v doubtless_o in_o great_a perplexity_n and_o in_o no_o small_a danger_n of_o his_o salvation_n let_v we_o therefore_o find_v

but_o alas_o all_o pope_n be_v not_o saint_n as_o be_v prove_v and_o so_o some_o must_v perforce_o have_v absolution_n let_v we_o say_v that_o he_o may_v absolve_v himself_o as_o well_o as_o he_o may_v grant_v pardon_n to_o himself_o but_o alas_o that_o impli_v contradiction_n because_o so_o he_o remain_v one_o and_o the_o same_o man_n shall_v be_v both_o superior_a and_o inferior_a to_o himself_o superior_a as_o he_o do_v absolve_v and_o inferior_a as_o absolve_v let_v we_o say_v that_o he_o voluntary_o submit_v himself_o and_o so_o receive_v absolution_n but_o alas_o so_o shall_v his_o holiness_n still_o be_v inferior_a to_o the_o silly_a priest_n because_o as_o s._n paul_n discourse_v to_o the_o hebrew_n he_o that_o bless_v be_v great_a than_o he_o that_o be_v bless_v let_v we_o say_v â—_o that_o the_o pope_n give_v to_o the_o priest_n power_n over_o he_o for_o that_o time_n only_o but_o alas_o that_o will_v be_v a_o rare_a and_o strange_a metamorphosis_n with_o a_o

second_o after_o absolution_n he_o that_o be_v pope_n shall_v cease_v to_o be_v pope_n and_o he_o hominem_fw-la that_o be_v not_o pope_n shall_v without_o election_n or_o consecration_n be_v pope_n again_o which_o be_v a_o thing_n impossible_a even_o by_o popish_a proceed_n let_v we_o say_v that_o some_o other_o
