that_o charity_n do_v nothing_o amiss_o thus_o if_o i_o have_v not_o darken_v this_o truth_n with_o too_o thick_a a_o cloud_n of_o witness_n i_o presume_v it_o must_v be_v clear_a as_o light_v itself_o that_o your_o doctrine_n of_o only_a faith_n &_o depress_v of_o good_a work_n be_v not_o only_o against_o the_o whole_a stream_n of_o scripture_n and_o so_o unchristian_a but_o also_o against_o all_o the_o rule_n of_o humane_a reason_n so_o impertinent_a &_o unpolitick_a to_o the_o destruction_n of_o all_o civil_a conversation_n and_o therefore_o i_o be_o bold_a to_o insist_v the_o long_o upon_o it_o which_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o pardon_v and_o i_o will_v make_v a_o speedy_a amends_o in_o the_o contraction_n of_o myself_o upon_o the_o other_o head_n to_o what_o you_o be_v please_v to_o allege_v against_o our_o auricular_a cenfession_n i_o answer_v thus_o to_o the_o first_o it_o be_v true_a that_o in_o that_o text_n of_o s._n john_n there_o be_v no_o confession_n menton_v but_o sufficient_o imply_v in_o the_o power_n of_o absolution_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o satisfy_v any_o reasonable_a christian_a that_o our_o saviour_n have_v so_o clear_o declare_v that_o high_a power_n and_o prerogative_n which_o he_o confer_v upon_o his_o priest_n and_o to_o show_v we_o our_o physician_n and_o remedy_n that_o we_o may_v have_v recourse_n to_o they_o for_o our_o health_n if_o we_o so_o please_v but_o if_o we_o will_v not_o confess_v we_o be_v sick_a we_o have_v no_o need_n of_o a_o physician_n at_o least_o he_o can_v be_v at_o all_o useful_a to_o we_o now_o that_o use_n and_o practice_n of_o this_o high_a power_n and_o prerogative_n of_o remision_n of_o sin_n the_o church_n have_v learn_v and_o derive_v from_o the_o very_a time_n of_o the_o apostle_n by_o the_o conduct_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o you_o shall_v see_v more_o hereafter_o to_o the_o second_o i_o must_v likewise_o grant_v s._n james_n not_o precise_o to_o determine_v in_o that_o text_n to_o who_o we_o shall_v confess_v nor_o be_v it_o at_o all_o needful_a for_o it_o be_v to_o be_v presume_v that_o no_o man_n will_v confess_v but_o where_o he_o think_v to_o find_v a_o pardon_n now_o that_o power_n of_o pardon_v be_v apparent_o in_o the_o apostle_n hand_n then_o and_o in_o their_o successor_n continue_v since_o it_o be_v enough_o therefore_o for_o the_o apostle_n to_o express_v so_o much_o as_o be_v necessary_a to_o that_o great_a business_n of_o absolution_n that_o be_v confession_n without_o point_v out_o that_o particular_a person_n to_o who_o to_o be_v make_v indeed_o it_o be_v as_o before_z sufficient_o employ_v to_o the_o three_o and_o four_o i_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o our_o saviour_n say_v no_o more_o to_o the_o woman_n take_v in_o adultery_n but_o go_v and_o sine_z no_o more_o but_o there_o the_o power_n of_o absolution_n be_v not_o settle_v in_o the_o church_n how_o then_o can_v the_o adulteress_n and_o the_o magdalen_n and_o peter_n be_v oblige_v to_o confession_n before_o confession_n be_v institute_v beside_o these_o be_v miraculous_a pardon_n of_o sin_n not_o by_o any_o former_a prescription_n for_o we_o know_v that_o the_o indulgence_n of_o a_o spiritual_a privilege_n to_o any_o one_o be_v not_o to_o be_v draw_v into_o a_o consequence_n for_o other_o or_o make_v a_o general_a rule_n of_o by_o we_o to_o the_o last_o i_o do_v utter_o deny_v that_o confession_n be_v ever_o abrogate_a in_o any_o one_o age_n something_o i_o remember_v in_o ecclesiastical_a history_n that_o public_a and_o open_a confession_n be_v solemn_o forbid_v but_o never_o private_a and_o auricular_a on_o the_o contrary_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o prove_v the_o necessity_n of_o it_o by_o scripture_n against_o you_o david_n confess_v his_o sin_n and_o be_v pardon_v by_o the_o prophet_n nathan_n 11.13_o 2_o sam._n 11.13_o s._n matthew_n tell_v how_o our_o saviour_n enstate_v peter_n in_o this_o power_n of_o the_o key_n the_o other_o

be_v to_o deny_v that_o our_o saviour_n never_o have_v they_o in_o his_o custody_n which_o i_o take_v for_o blasphemy_n the_o text_n you_o urge_v out_o of_o s._n 5.16_o james_n 5.16_o james_n be_v

show_v you_o in_o my_o answer_n to_o your_o next_o argument_n but_o from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v already_o it_o be_v very_o evident_a that_o this_o text_n out_o of_o deuteronomy_n which_o you_o press_v so_o hard_o make_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o the_o purpose_n unless_o you_o can_v think_v this_o a_o good_a argument_n the_o jew_n be_v bind_v perfect_o and_o entire_o to_o keep_v the_o command_n of_o moses_n therefore_o christian_n must_v not_o admit_v of_o apostolical_a tradition_n but_o be_v content_a with_o only_a scripture_n which_o i_o think_v no_o reasonable_a man_n will_v take_v for_o other_o than_o a_o absutd_v and_o ridiculous_a consequence_n but_o that_o the_o business_n may_v be_v more_o clear_a give_v i_o leave_v to_o ask_v of_o you_o whether_o those_o command_n do_v belong_v to_o the_o jew_n only_o or_o to_o we_o christian_n as_o well_o as_o they_o if_o to_o the_o jew_n only_o why_o do_v you_o allege_v that_o text_n against_o we_o or_o why_o shall_v we_o be_v oblige_v to_o the_o observation_n of_o those_o precept_n if_o they_o belong_v to_o we_o christian_n likewise_o why_o do_v not_o you_o keep_v all_o the_o moysaicall_a law_n why_o do_v not_o all_o the_o mankind_n among_o you_o circumcise_v themselves_o and_o why_o do_v you_o forbear_v the_o observation_n of_o all_o the_o lethe_v legal_a ceremony_n in_o the_o last_o place_n answer_v i_o why_o do_v you_o urge_v the_o first_o particle_n of_o the_o text_n against_o we_o you_o shall_v not_o add_v and_o do_v not_o in_o like_a manner_n urge_v against_o yourselves_o you_o shall_v not_o diminish_v but_o i_o fear_v i_o have_v be_v too_o long_o in_o this_o to_o the_o three_o i_o wonder_v true_o how_o you_o can_v infer_v from_o that_o text_n that_o nothing_o be_v to_o be_v do_v but_o what_o god_n command_v and_o all_o humane_a precept_n to_o be_v cast_v away_o if_o so_o what_o will_v you_o say_v of_o the_o jew_n themselves_o 15.29_o jer._n 35.6_o act_n 15.29_o that_o do_v with_o all_o

the_o command_n of_o their_o father_n jonadab_n in_o a_o perpetual_a abstinence_n from_o wine_n what_o will_v you_o think_v of_o the_o apostle_n who_o in_o their_o council_n at_o jerusalem_n command_v

otherwise_o then_o what_o you_o will_v impose_v upon_o it_o for_o as_o in_o your_o last_o argument_n you_o press_v a_o text_n that_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o general_a of_o all_o the_o

offer_v nothing_o in_o sacrifice_n to_o god_n but_o what_o the_o lord_n have_v command_v therefore_o christians-ought_a not_o to_o observe_v any_o humane_a precept_n whether_o civil_a or_o ecclesiastical_a a_o most_o excellent_a consequence_n so_o fare_v it_o well_o to_o the_o four_o i_o answer_v that_o your_o argument_n will_v be_v much_o better_o employ_v upon_o yourselves_o then_o against_o we_o and_o in_o this_o manner_n i_o retort_v it_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v preach_v another_o gospel_n than_o that_o which_o the_o apostle_n himself_o preach_v let_v he_o be_v anathema_n but_o you_o preach_v another_o gospel_n besides_o nay_o against_o that_o which_o the_o apostle_n teach_v &_o preach_v because_o do_v manifest_o oppose_v tradition_n which_o he_o command_v we_o to_o keep_v when_o he_o say_v hold_v fast_o tradition_n therefore_o you_o be_v to_o be_v anathema_n but_o to_o answer_v yet_o more_o close_o to_o what_o you_o urge_v out_o of_o the_o apostle_n i_o will_v desire_v you_o to_o gather_v out_o of_o the_o scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n whether_o his_o intention_n be_v there_o ro_o condemn_v all_o tradition_n or_o only_o this_o 5.1_o g●l_n 2.16_o c._n 1.6_o

up_o all_o it_o be_v plain_a by_o this_o that_o have_v be_v say_v that_o some_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n must_v have_v equal_a authority_n with_o scripture_n as_o the_o command_n of_o a_o prince_n have_v equal_a force_n and_o power_n upon_o subject_n whether_o by_o word_n of_o mouth_n deliver_v or_o by_o write_v so_o the_o word_n of_o god_n write_v or_o deliver_v be_v still_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o of_o equal_a power_n and_o if_o you_o say_v that_o the_o apostolical_a tradition_n can_v be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n i_o ask_v you_o whether_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o

the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o twelve_o now_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n still_o retain_v many_o thing_n of_o their_o doctrine_n thorgh_n we_o have_v none_o of_o their_o writing_n and_o sure_o we_o be_v to_o give_v as_o much_o credit_n to_o those_o that_o write_v not_o as_o those_o that_o do_v i_o ask_v you_o again_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o a_o point_n of_o faith_n that_o the_o whole_a scripture_n take_v together_o of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o again_o whether_o all_o that_o scripture_n especial_o in_o those_o thing_n which_o concern_v

acknowledge_v that_o i_o give_v as_o great_a a_o honour_n to_o scripture_n as_o yourself_o and_o than_o if_o we_o both_o admit_v those_o three_o position_n as_o principle_n of_o faith_n we_o must_v
