be_v some_o passage_n in_o it_o which_o seem_v to_o suppose_v the_o soul_n depart_v to_o be_v in_o a_o place_n of_o torment_n but_o i_o have_v two_o thing_n to_o say_v to_o this_o point_n the_o one_o be_v that_o those_o missal_n who_o style_n come_v near_o to_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v of_o a_o late_a date_n the_o other_o be_v that_o the_o ordinary_a article_n pro_fw-la

to_o any_o man._n this_o they_o prove_v after_o this_o follow_a manner_n first_o they_o say_v it_o be_v clear_a that_o when_o god_n pardon_v sin_n he_o do_v it_o not_o with_o any_o respect_n to_o the_o merit_n of_o any_o man_n but_o of_o mere_a grace_n whence_o it_o follow_v evident_o that_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n can_v be_v attribute_v to_o a_o man_n confess_v of_o they_o for_o if_o it_o be_v so_o we_o must_v own_o that_o the_o remission_n be_v no_o long_o of_o free-gift_n but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o recompense_n give_v by_o god_n to_o the_o merit_n of_o he_o that_o confess_v second_o they_o say_v if_o it_o be_v confession_n that_o procure_v a_o man_n the_o pardon_n of_o his_o sin_n what_o will_v become_v of_o that_o passage_n in_o the_o three_o chapter_n of_o the_o

or_o how_o shall_v we_o explain_v that_o in_o the_o nine_o of_o the_o roman_n that_o it_o be_v not_o of_o he_o that_o will_v nor_o of_o he_o that_o run_v but_o of_o god_n that_o show_v mercy_n we_o know_v that_o the_o first_o grace_n that_o god_n work_v in_o we_o be_v the_o remission_n of_o sin_n now_o if_o this_o grace_n be_v absolute_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n it_o can_v be_v the_o effect_n of_o confession_n which_o by_o consequence_n be_v not_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o have_v thus_o endeavour_v to_o defend_v their_o opinion_n by_o reason_n they_o endeavour_v also_o to_o back_o it_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o father_n and_o quote_v st._n ambrose_n who_o say_v upon_o luke_n st._n peter_n weep_v because_o his_o sorrow_n be_v so_o great_a that_o it_o do_v not_o permit_v he_o to_o speak_v we_o find_v that_o he_o weep_v but_o not_o that_o he_o say_v any_o thing_n i_o read_v his_o tear_n but_o i_o find_v nothing_o of_o his_o confession_n the_o four_o heresy_n be_v of_o those_o who_o acknowledge_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o confess_v but_o add_v that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o confess_v to_o man._n what_o need_n be_v there_o say_v they_o to_o confess_v to_o a_o man_n now_o under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n see_v that_o even_o under_o the_o law_n it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o confess_v to_o god_n by_o a_o single_a act_n of_o contrition_n they_o allege_v also_o the_o authority_n of_o st._n chrysostom_n who_o say_v upon_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n it_o be_v not_o say_v that_o you_o need_v publish_v what_o your_o sin_n be_v to_o the_o world_n neither_o need_v you_o accuse_v yourself_o before_o all_o mankind_n you_o be_v only_o enjoin_v to_o practice_v the_o exhortation_n of_o david_n in_o the_o 136_o the_o psalm_n that_o you_o spread_v all_o the_o part_n of_o your_o life_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n that_o you_o confess_v to_o he_o who_o be_v your_o true_a judge_n and_o that_o you_o rather_o express_v your_o repentance_n by_o the_o secret_a groan_n of_o your_o conscience_n than_o by_o the_o abundance_n of_o word_n this_o be_v the_o true_a way_n to_o obtain_v grace_n from_o heaven_n they_o make_v use_v also_o of_o another_o passage_n of_o the_o same_o father_n where_o he_o say_v if_o thou_o desire_v to_o have_v thy_o sin_n blot_v out_o confess_v they_o but_o if_o thou_o be_v ashamed_a to_o discover_v they_o to_o any_o body_n repeat_v they_o every_o day_n in_o the_o secret_a of_o thy_o heart_n it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o tell_v they_o to_o man_n they_o may_v it_o may_v be_v afterward_o reproach_v thou_o with_o they_o but_o declare_v they_o rather_o to_o god_n who_o only_o can_v give_v thou_o such_o a_o remedy_n as_o thou_o want_v and_o though_o thou_o shall_v not_o confess_v they_o to_o he_o yet_o he_o still_o see_v thou_o he_o be_v present_a and_o look_v upon_o thou_o whilst_o thou_o do_v commit_v they_o from_o all_o which_o he_o conclude_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o confess_v our_o sin_n only_o to_o god_n and_o this_o detestable_a heresy_n which_o be_v practise_v in_o secret_a assembly_n have_v already_o infect_v a_o great_a number_n of_o people_n the_o six_o heresy_n be_v of_o those_o who_o maintain_v that_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o confess_v to_o a_o priest_n when_o a_o man_n can_v confess_v himself_o to_o a_o layman_n the_o seven_o heresy_n be_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o obey_v none_o but_o god_n alone_o this_o be_v the_o error_n of_o a_o certain_a arch-heretick_n call_v waldo_n from_o who_o the_o heretic_n that_o we_o now_o call_v waldenses_n derive_v their_o name_n this_o miserable_a wretch_n without_o be_v send_v from_o god_n take_v upon_o he_o of_o his_o own_o head_n to_o form_v a_o new_a sect_n and_o without_o the_o permission_n of_o any_o bishop_n without_o inspiration_n without_o knowledge_n or_o learning_n set_v up_o for_o a_o preacher_n so_o that_o we_o may_v well_o say_v of_o he_o as_o alanus_n do_v in_o his_o book_n against_o heretic_n that_o he_o be_v a_o wise_a man_n without_o reason_n a_o prophet_n without_o a_o vision_n a_o apostle_n without_o be_v send_v and_o a_o doctor_n who_o never_o have_v instruction_n see_v here_o how_o his_o follower_n undertake_v to_o defend_v his_o heresy_n we_o see_v say_v they_o in_o the_o 5_o the_o chapter_n of_o the_o act_n that_o st._n peter_n and_o st._n john_n speak_v to_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n tell_v they_o judge_v ye-wheth_a it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o obey_v you_o rather_o than_o god_n and_o not_o to_o do_v what_o he_o command_v we_o because_o you_o forbid_v we_o moreover_o these_o heretic_n maintain_v that_o if_o we_o obey_v a_o man_n when_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o obey_v he_o we_o commit_v a_o sin_n because_o than_o we_o do_v obey_v god_n samuel_n say_v they_o say_v to_o saul_n in_o the_o 15_o the_o of_o the_o 1_o sy_n book_n of_o samuel_n that_o disobedience_n or_o rebellion_n be_v as_o the_o sin_n of_o witchcraft_n now_o he_o that_o addict_v himself_o to_o witchcraft_n do_v in_o a_o manner_n renounce_v god_n but_o he_o that_o refuse_v to_o obey_v a_o man_n do_v not_o therefore_o commit_v the_o sin_n of_o witchcraft_n which_o sin_n be_v not_o commit_v but_o where_o a_o man_n refuse_v to_o obey_v god_n we_o ought_v therefore_o to_o obey_v god_n and_o not_o man_n because_o in_o disobey_v man_n we_o be_v not_o guilty_a of_o that_o sin_n but_o only_o when_o we_o disobey_v god_n the_o eight_o heresy_n be_v what_o these_o same_o waldenses_n profess_v that_o suppose_v we_o ought_v to_o obey_v any_o man_n it_o must_v be_v such_o a_o man_n as_o be_v not_o under_o sin_n himself_o and_o that_o good_a priest_n only_o have_v the_o power_n of_o bind_v and_o lose_v this_o also_o be_v one_o of_o the_o error_n of_o john_n havel_n that_o be_v to_o say_v wicklef_n a_o englishman_n who_o among_o many_o other_o which_o he_o teach_v maintain_v that_o a_o temporal_a lord_n a_o bishop_n or_o prelate_n have_v no_o
