sinner_n while_o they_o continue_v in_o their_o sin_n if_o they_o believe_v the_o judicial_a authority_n of_o the_o priest_n to_o forgive_v sin_n for_o they_o every_o day_n absolve_v man_n who_o do_v not_o forsake_v their_o sin_n and_o if_o their_o absolution_n be_v good_a god_n must_v forgive_v they_o too_o and_o thus_o the_o holiness_n and_o inflexible_a justice_n of_o god_n lose_v its_o force_n

to_o holiness_n of_o life_n not_o only_o because_o he_o have_v now_o buy_v we_o with_o his_o own_o blood_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v no_o long_o live_v unto_o ourselves_o but_o to_o he_o who_o

this_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n seem_v very_o sensible_a of_o that_o none_o but_o sincere_a penitent_n and_o true_o good_a man_n can_v be_v save_v by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n upon_o the_o

of_o expiate_a sin_n which_o give_v more_o comfort_n to_o sinner_n the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n have_v a_o distinct_a virtue_n and_o merit_n from_o the_o sacrifice_n upon_o the_o cross_n it_o

which_o be_v not_o expiate_v by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n be_v expiate_v by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n and_o that_o by_o the_o bear_n opus_fw-la operatum_fw-la by_o the_o offering_n this_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n itself_o without_o any_o good_a motion_n in_o the_o person_n for_o who_o it_o be_v offer_v and_o thus_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n

by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o cross_n the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n will_v expiate_v the_o sin_n of_o unreformed_a sinner_n and_o then_o there_o be_v no_o need_n to_o reform_v our_o life_n thus_o i_o be_o sure_a all_o man_n understand_v it_o or_o they_o will_v never_o put_v their_o confidence_n in_o the_o mass-sacrifice_n for_o if_o it_o do_v no_o more_o for_o we_o than_o christ_n

damn_v though_o we_o may_v be_v punish_v for_o our_o sin_n both_o in_o this_o world_n and_o purgatory_n but_o every_o mortal_a sin_n put_v we_o out_o of_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n which_o we_o be_v in_o by_o baptism_n and_o till_o we_o be_v restore_v to_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n again_o we_o must_v be_v eternal_o damn_v because_o we_o have_v no_o right_n to_o the_o sacrifice_n and_o expiation_n of_o christ_n death_n the_o only_a way_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o restore_v we_o to_o this_o state_n of_o grace_n be_v by_o the_o sacrament_n of_o penance_n and_o the_o absolution_n of_o the_o priest_n which_o restore_v we_o to_o the_o same_o state_n which_o baptism_n at_o first_o put_v we_o into_o and_o therefore_o very_a well_o deserve_v to_o be_v think_v a_o

for_o sin_n than_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n which_o still_o leave_v we_o under_o the_o obligation_n of_o a_o holy_a life_n and_o therefore_o can_v make_v such_o a_o expiation_n
