for_o if_o this_o but_o trudge_v and_o smart_v sufficient_o the_o other_o will_v have_v but_o little_a to_o do_v and_o that_o be_v evident_a first_o by_o their_o doctrine_n about_o the_o sacrament_n of_o penance_n where_o not_o only_o they_o have_v fit_v the_o word_n for_o the_o purpose_n but_o also_o have_v so_o order_v the_o matter_n that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o inward_a sorrow_n require_v

certain_o both_o the_o great_a difficulty_n and_o design_n of_o our_o religion_n because_o he_o have_v no_o more_o to_o do_v but_o to_o be_v afraid_a of_o hell_n and_o to_o run_v to_o a_o priest_n for_o absolution_n and_o then_o to_o perform_v such_o corporeal_a exercise_n as_o he_o shall_v prescribe_v and_o these_o no_o doubt_n will_v not_o be_v too_o severe_a who_o then_o will_v not_o be_v encourage_v to_o sin_n by_o this_o doctrine_n when_o they_o be_v teach_v by_o it_o how_o to_o redeem_v the_o offence_n so_o easy_o and_o though_o they_o require_v a_o purpose_n of_o sin_v no_o more_o yet_o that_o be_v found_v upon_o the_o same_o motive_n namely_o the_o fear_n of_o hell_n one_o may_v be_v in_o heaven_n or_o at_o least_o in_o purgatory_n before_o he_o begin_v to_o learn_v how_o he_o shall_v love_v his_o god_n as_o he_o ought_v but_o this_o may_v be_v prove_v not_o only_o by_o their_o doctrine_n about_o this_o particular_a sacrament_n but_o even_o about_o they_o all_o in_o general_n for_o what_o can_v do_v it_o more_o than_o that_o the_o very_a opus_fw-la operatum_fw-la of_o the_o sacrament_n produce_v grace_n in_o the_o receiver_n of_o they_o and_o therefore_o they_o need_v not_o seek_v for_o holiness_n itself_o and_o a_o full_o form_v piety_n before_o they_o approach_v they_o since_o they_o expect_v that_o from_o they_o as_o their_o proper_a and_o formal_a

far_o than_o all_o this_o and_o to_o the_o sacrament_n they_o add_v the_o sacramentalia_fw-la and_o these_o come_v swarm_v in_o upon_o religion_n as_o the_o locust_n do_v upon_o egypt_n for_o they_o hold_v that_o by_o patter_z over_o the_o lord_n prayer_n by_o cast_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n by_o a_o dash_n of_o holy_a water_n by_o have_v a_o bit_n of_o a_o agnus_n dei_fw-la about_o one_o

doctrine_n of_o a_o general_a intention_n concur_v mighty_o to_o help_v up_o all_o for_o if_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o any_o duty_n they_o shall_v but_o in_o the_o general_n intend_v to_o do_v it_o for_o such_o a_o end_n than_o there_o be_v no_o more_o require_v and_o if_o the_o body_n do_v but_o go_v about_o it_o the_o soul_n need_v not_o be_v at_o the_o fatigue_n of_o a_o constant_a

more_o and_o that_o be_v their_o tenent_n that_o the_o inherent_a righteousness_n whereby_o one_o be_v justify_v do_v not_o consist_v in_o any_o temper_n or_o frame_v of_o the_o soul_n but_o in_o a_o certain_a physical_a quality_n which_o they_o call_v habitual_a grace_n so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o any_o holiness_n or_o virtue_n resident_a in_o the_o soul_n itself_o as_o contradistinguisht_v from_o that_o quality_n that_o one_o be_v justify_v but_o mere_o by_o it_o as_o that_o sanctify_a form_n by_o which_o only_o we_o be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n beside_o the_o

there_o be_v none_o of_o they_o but_o he_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o extraordinary_a case_n and_o so_o must_v maintain_v that_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n at_o all_o for_o one_o to_o be_v
