die_a man_n and_o say_v that_o when_o they_o declare_v themselves_o innocent_a as_o the_o child_n unborn_a etc._n etc._n the_o meaning_n be_v they_o be_v innocent_a because_o they_o have_v have_v the_o priest_n absolution_n for_o it_o although_o the_o fact_n be_v commit_v by_o they_o this_o piece_n of_o subtle_a nonsense_n do_v mighty_o please_v both_o the_o seduce_a commentatour_n and_o

therefore_o innocent_a clean_o contrary_n a_o pardon_n be_v rather_o a_o argument_n of_o the_o crime_n commit_v and_o do_v no_o more_o but_o remit_v the_o penalty_n for_o no_o pardon_n or_o absolution_n can_v make_v that_o thing_n not_o to_o be_v do_v which_o be_v do_v beside_o no_o roman_n catholic_n according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o his_o church_n can_v swear_v he_o be_v innocent_a in_o any_o sense_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o absolution_n because_o no_o man_n can_v evident_o know_v without_o a_o particular_a revelation_n that_o he_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n or_o whither_o in_o his_o sight_n he_o be_v worthy_a of_o love_n or_o hatred_n but_o all_o man_n be_v still_o bind_v to_o work_v their_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_v since_o than_o no_o man_n can_v swear_v a_o thing_n which_o he_o do_v not_o evident_o know_v how_o therefore_o in_o this_o suppositious_a sense_n of_o innocence_n which_o suppose_v the_o fact_n commit_v be_v it_o possible_a they_o can_v swear_v they_o be_v innocent_a whence_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o our_o execute_a man_n do_v with_o their_o last_o breath_n deny_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o man_n according_a to_o their_o own_o word_n the_o very_a fact_n itself_o viz._n the_o compose_n and_o conspire_v the_o death_n of_o the_o king_n and_o do_v assert_v their_o innocence_n not_o by_o virtue_n of_o a_o absolution_n but_o by_o plead_v non_fw-la est_fw-la factum_fw-la there_o be_v yet_o another_o shift_n i_o think_v a_o very_a unchristian_a one_o make_v use_v of_o by_o this_o sort_n of_o

and_o in_o their_o council_n of_o trent_n viz._n that_o no_o absolution_n be_v available_a to_o a_o sinner_n which_o be_v not_o precede_v by_o a_o sorrow_n and_o detestation_n of_o the_o sin_n by_o

and_o since_o without_o a_o detestation_n and_o abhorrency_n of_o their_o sin_n they_o can_v not_o hope_v for_o any_o benefit_n from_o a_o absolution_n how_o then_o can_v those_o die_a man_n with_o
