that_o this_o can_v or_o may_v be_v do_v either_o with_o money_n or_o without_o for_o vnforsaken_a sin_n this_o we_o look_v upon_o as_o abominable_a and_o absurd_a in_o the_o sight_n both_o of_o god_n

confitentibus_fw-la relaxarunt_fw-la do_v not_o signify_v the_o give_a indulgence_n for_o all_o sin_n without_o repentance_n as_o he_o translate_v they_o but_o only_o the_o grant_v indulgence_n for_o all_o sin_n to_o such_o as_o confess_v to_o they_o without_o oblige_v they_o to_o undergo_v the_o penance_n enjoin_v by_o the_o canon_n for_o thus_o this_o word_n poenitentia_fw-la here_o signify_v and_o not_o repentance_n which_o be_v indispensable_o imply_v in_o their_o confession_n which_o can_v be_v right_o perform_v without_o repentance_n thus_o gross_o do_v this_o doctor_n mistake_v in_o his_o defence_n and_o upon_o such_o slight_a ground_n positive_o from_o his_o pulpit_n blacken_v we_o with_o the_o worst_a of_o infamy_n and_o scandal_n before_o so_o great_a a_o assembly_n and_o the_o same_o he_o do_v in_o the_o other_o part_n where_o he_o say_v 2._o that_o they_o have_v grant_v indulgence_n even_o for_o what_o they_o call_v deadly_a sin_n for_o many_o thousand_o year_n to_o come_v and_o this_o look_n like_o a_o assert_v of_o that_o vulgar_a reproach_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o pope_n can_v give_v the_o papist_n leave_v to_o sin_n for_o many_o year_n to_o come_v and_o be_v the_o thing_n he_o seem_v willing_a to_o imprint_v on_o his_o reader_n in_o all_o the_o instance_n he_o have_v bring_v by_o the_o way_n that_o he_o handle_v they_o and_o yet_o this_o be_v most_o contradictory_n to_o the_o doctrine_n we_o be_v teach_v and_o to_o the_o receive_a notion_n of_o indulgence_n among_o catholic_n who_o be_v so_o far_o from_o presume_v upon_o leave_n to_o sin_n upon_o the_o grant_n of_o indulgence_n that_o they_o do_v think_v that_o any_o one_o sin_n that_o be_v past_a can_v be_v forgive_v by_o a_o indulgence_n no_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o no_o sin_n be_v forgive_v even_o in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o confession_n without_o a_o sincere_a repentance_n and_o as_o for_o indulgence_n they_o be_v only_o for_o the_o relaxation_n of_o the_o canonical_a penalty_n due_a to_o sin_n which_o be_v appoint_v and_o assign_v by_o the_o church_n may_v likewise_o by_o the_o same_o authority_n be_v release_v and_o therefore_o however_o indulgence_n may_v be_v term_v pardon_n or_o say_v to_o be_v grant_v for_o the_o obtain_n pardon_n for_o deadly_a sin_n yet_o whoever_o consider_v that_o they_o be_v many_o time_n give_v for_o many_o hundred_o year_n nay_o as_o the_o doctor_n have_v it_o for_o many_o thousand_o year_n to_o come_v he_o must_v soon_o conclude_v that_o this_o can_v not_o be_v giving_z leave_v to_o sin_n for_o so_o long_a time_n to_o come_v which_o so_o far_o exceed_v the_o term_n of_o man_n life_n but_o only_o the_o release_v of_o penance_n which_o be_v assign_v in_o proportion_n to_o the_o sin_n for_o some_o sin_n three_o year_n penance_n for_o other_o five_o for_o other_o seven_o may_v with_o some_o careless_a christian_n amount_v to_o that_o degree_n that_o for_o fifty_o year_n of_o life_n they_o may_v possible_o have_v five_o thousand_o year_n penalty_n due_a to_o their_o sin_n this_o be_v it_o then_o we_o understand_v by_o indulgence_n or_o pardon_n not_o a_o leave_n or_o liberty_n to_o sin_n nay_o not_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n but_o only_o a_o discharge_n from_o the_o canonical_a penance_n which_o be_v very_o far_o from_o what_o the_o doctor_n insinuate_v into_o his_o auditory_a which_o as_o
