it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o penitent_a shall_v confess_v all_o his_o sin_n to_o the_o priest_n for_o who_o shall_v compel_v the_o penitent_a to_o appear_v in_o judgement_n where_o be_v they_o

how_o can_v it_o be_v hence_o deduce_v that_o the_o penitent_n be_v bind_v to_o come_v to_o this_o judicatory_a and_o not_o to_o stand_v alone_o to_o the_o divine_a tribunal_n a_o physician_n may_v

a_o king_n send_v a_o judge_n with_o competent_a authority_n to_o judge_v all_o the_o question_n in_o a_o province_n he_o can_v judge_v they_o that_o come_v but_o he_o can_v compel_v they_o to_o

themselves_o to_o his_o clemency_n and_o sue_v for_o pardon_n and_o since_o it_o be_v certain_a by_o their_o own_o confession_n that_o a_o penitent_n can_v by_v the_o force_n of_o these_o word_n of_o christ_n be_v compel_v to_o confess_v his_o venial_a sin_n how_o do_v it_o appear_v that_o he_o be_v tie_v to_o confess_v his_o mortal_a sin_n for_o if_o a_o man_n be_v tie_v to_o repent_v of_o all_o his_o sin_n than_o repentance_n may_v be_v perform_v without_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o priest_n or_o else_o he_o must_v repent_v before_o the_o priest_n for_o all_o his_o sin_n but_o if_o he_o
