than_o he_o speak_v to_o peter_n only_o but_o as_o a_o little_a before_o peter_n not_o only_o in_o his_o own_o name_n but_o also_o in_o the_o name_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n which_o have_v that_o one_o faith_n have_v confess_v that_o jesus_n be_v the_o christ_n and_o the_o son_n of_o the_o live_a god_n in_o like_a manner_n when_o christ_n promise_v the_o key_n to_o

at_o once_o receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o sin_n you_o remit_v they_o be_v remit_v to_o they_o who_o sin_n you_o retain_v they_o be_v retain_v i_o same_o also_o do_v the_o other_o apostle_n and_o all_o pastor_n confirm_v when_o exercise_v their_o ministry_n they_o use_v those_o key_n theoph._n wherefore_o do_v christ_n call_v the_o ministry_n of_o pastor_n by_o the_o name_n of_o key_n matth._n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v understand_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n as_o we_o have_v declare_v before_o be_v by_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o church_n set_v open_a to_o the_o believer_n and_o penitent_a and_o that_o it_o be_v shut_v against_o the_o unbeliever_n and_o stubborn_a namely_o when_o as_o by_o it_o the_o former_a have_v their_o sin_n forgive_v that_o so_o they_o may_v come_v to_o eternal_a life_n but_o to_o the_o other_o they_o be_v retain_v that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v shut_v from_o it_o for_o god_n do_v ratify_v that_o in_o heaven_n which_o the_o minister_n upon_o earth_n pronounce_v out_o of_o his_o word_n even_o as_o it_o appear_v by_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n himself_o unto_o peter_n for_o after_o promise_n of_o the_o key_n present_o he_o add_v whatsoever_o thou_o shall_v bind_v in_o 19_o mat._n 16._o 19_o earth_n shall_v be_v bind_v in_o heaven_n and_o whatsoever_o thou_o shall_v loose_v on_o earth_n shall_v be_v loose_v in_o heaven_n and_o the_o self_n same_o thing_n he_o repeat_v after_o to_o all_o the_o apostle_n to_o show_v that_o they_o have_v like_o authority_n of_o bind_v &_o lose_v give_v to_o they_o with_o peter_n theoph._n therefore_o to_o bind_v &_o loose_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o declare_v the_o remission_n of_o sin_n or_o to_o retain_v they_o matth._n loose_v what_o it_o be_v to_o bind_v and_o loose_v indeed_o nothing_o as_o it_o be_v plain_a by_o the_o interpretation_n of_o christ_n himself_o for_o he_o say_v to_o his_o apostle_n in_o the_o place_n which_o even_o now_o we_o recite_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o sin_n you_o remit_v they_o be_v remit_v unto_o they_o who_o sin_n you_o shall_v retain_v they_o shall_v be_v retain_v for_o there_o be_v no_o hard_a bond_n than_o

strength_n of_o man_n but_o by_o the_o only_a might_n of_o christ_n theoph._n why_o then_o do_v christ_n commit_v the_o office_n of_o bind_v and_o lose_v to_o the_o minister_n see_v he_o himself_o alone_o have_v the_o power_n of_o bind_v and_o lose_v mat._n it_o be_v that_o we_o may_v understand_v that_o the_o minister_n be_v as_o it_o be_v ambassador_n &_o proclaimer_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n which_o paul_n teach_v in_o these_o word_n 19_o 1._o cor._n 5._o 19_o god_n be_v in_o christ_n reconcile_a the_o world_n to_o himself_o not_o impute_v to_o they_o their_o sin_n and_o have_v put_v in_o we_o this_o word_n of_o reconciliation_n therefore_o we_o be_v ambassador_n in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n as_o god_n by_o we_o do_v exhort_v you_o we_o entreat_v you_o in_o christ_n stead_n to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n theoph._n i_o see_v not_o therefore_o that_o the_o minister_n have_v more_o power_n of_o bind_v and_o lose_v grant_v they_o than_o any_o other_o private_a man_n for_o there_o be_v none_o that_o may_v not_o assure_v the_o believer_n and_o penitent_a of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o his_o sin_n contrariwise_o which_o may_v not_o set_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n before_o the_o unbeliever_n and_o obstinate_a except_o he_o repent_v and_o that_o very_o shall_v be_v confirm_v in_o heaven_n as_o it_o be_v pronounce_v by_o that_o private_a person_n for_o

special_a thing_n to_o be_v consider_v in_o the_o promise_n of_o christ_n make_v to_o the_o minister_n namely_o that_o by_o his_o spirit_n he_o will_v give_v more_o efficacy_n &_o force_n to_o their_o word_n they_o to_o the_o word_n of_o any_o private_a man_n so_o as_o they_o shall_v by_o faith_n be_v receive_v of_o the_o believer_n but_o shall_v terrify_v the_o conscience_n of_o the_o unbeliever_n &_o set_v before_o his_o eye_n the_o wrath_n &_o judgement_n of_o god_n for_o otherwise_o the_o name_n of_o the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n shall_v false_o be_v give_v unto_o the_o
