in curruisti de inde absolvo te ab omnibus peccatis tuis ab omnibus poenis tibi in Purgatorio debitis pro peccatis delictis restituo te unitate participatione Ecclesiae virtute authoritate speciali

absolve thee First from all sorts of Excommunications whether great or small If the Penitent be a Clerk he must say from all sorts of Suspentions and Interdicts if by chance you have incurred any Then I absolve thee from all thy sins and from all sins and torments due to thee in Purgatory for thy sins and Transgressions And I receive thee into the Union and Participation of the Church And by vertue of a spetial Authority to me committed I restore thee into that Innocency in which thou hast been when thou wert Baptiz'd And if thou die not at this time I reserve to thee this Grace to the hour of

Amen Peace be with you THE POSTSCRIPT ANd now I hope I have made good that I promised sufficiently discovering the cheats of these Merchants of souls and therefore your Charity will give me leave to say with the Apostle tantum bonum certamen certavi though I have not mentioned half the Abominations that are practiced in this kind but I hope this is enough to prove that mony rather than true repentance is made the ground of the Absolution of the most hainous sins but I hope God will give me more leisure and better opportunities of detecting the wickedness of this mystical Babilon and then I engage never to be weary of the designe I have undertook in declaring to the World the enormities of the Church whereof I was once a Member and was though ignorantly as great a deluder as any of them But thanks be to God who hath opened the eyes of my understanding to discover the light of his glorious Gospel which I acknowledge as his infinite mercy and who hath enjoined me being now converted to strengthen my Brethren and therefore I beseech you as you love God and tender the salvation of your own souls to detest not only the vices themselves but the manner of forgiving them practised in the Church of Rome And beware of its Missionaries who go about like Wolves in Sheeps cloathing seeking whom they may devour and have no other end but to breed confusions amongst us to make us break the bond of Union and Charity in which we ought all to be united in one Lord Jesus To whom be all honour and glory World without end An Appendix THese Names of Missionaries and Penitentiaries are all one the distinction only is that those Penitentiaries do reside in the Court of Rome and the Missionaries are those which are dispersed through the World notwithstanding they have the same power and Authority to absolve id est a Cassibus Reservatis The truth is these do not directly accumulate or gather these sums u they are to enlighten the Penance and Pilgrimage of the Penitents for paying these forementioned Taxes to their several Deputies appointed in all places to that purpose FINIS The Author s Testimony from the Vniversity THese are to Certifie All whom it may Concern That Mr. Anthony Egan Clerk lately a Franciscan Fryer in Ireland but now of the Reformed Religion hath for the time of his Abode in the University of Oxford behaved himself soberly discreetly and studiously and thereby hath been a happy means to reduce some persons to the Church of England who had been formerly perverted In Witness whereof I have hereunto putmy Hand Seal in such Causes usual this twentyninth day of August in the year of our Lord. 1673.
