for_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o all_o party_n concern_v in_o a_o offence_n must_v have_v reason_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o offender_n and_o who_o can_v no_o way_n help_v you_o for_o he_o that_o

there_o no_o direct_a text_n for_o it_o and_o therefore_o they_o be_v constrain_v to_o help_v themselves_o with_o a_o mere_a conjectural_a consequence_n for_o since_o it_o be_v take_v for_o certain_a that_o there_o be_v a_o power_n to_o remit_v and_o to_o retain_v sin_n how_o shall_v they_o who_o have_v this_o power_n give_v they_o know_v how_o fit_a it_o be_v to_o remit_v or_o to_o retain_v a_o sin_n except_o they_o know_v the_o sin_n and_o know_v it_o they_o can_v but_o by_o confession_n for_o answer_v to_o this_o first_o we_o have_v find_v and_o prove_v that_o the_o word_n of_o scripture_n must_v receive_v such_o a_o sense_n as_o from_o whence_o no_o such_o consequence_n can_v be_v infer_v second_o we_o have_v endeavour_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o dispensation_n or_o application_n of_o the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o duty_n of_o save_v of_o soul_n be_v a_o duty_n which_o pro_fw-la occasione_n oblatâ_fw-la lie_v upon_o every_o christian_n which_o if_o it_o be_v true_a as_o in_o good_a faith_n i_o think_v it_o and_o the_o clergy_n perceive_v it_o i_o think_v they_o will_v never_o go_v about_o to_o urge_v that_o text_n although_o we_o shall_v yield_v it_o they_o in_o their_o own_o meaning_n for_o they_o must_v needs_o see_v that_o it_o follow_v that_o you_o may_v as_o well_o make_v your_o muletter_n if_o you_o

it_o to_o tell_v he_o that_o he_o be_v to_o repent_v to_o restore_v to_o pray_v to_o give_v alm_n etc._n etc._n all_o this_o he_o know_v or_o else_o he_o have_v have_v his_o breed_n under_o a_o evil_a
