will_n to_o confess_v to_o this_o man_n of_o wonder_n you_o natural_o fall_v into_o a_o fancy_n that_o so_o much_o formality_n and_o ceremony_n different_a from_o that_o you_o have_v be_v use_v to_o in_o our_o church_n have_v more_o charm_n in_o it_o than_o our_o plain_a and_o honest_a way_n and_o then_o lay_v the_o stress_n of_o your_o pardon_n upon_o the_o new_a priest_n absolution_n in_o that_o formal_a manner_n wherewith_o your_o fancy_n be_v impregnate_v it_o soon_o diffuse_a a_o cheerful_a air_n in_o your_o countenance_n and_o raise_v some_o gladness_n in_o your_o heart_n because_o you_o have_v now_o do_v something_o more_o than_o ordinary_a as_o a_o antidote_n against_o your_o sin_n and_o from_o hence_o arise_v your_o pretend_a peace_n and_o satisfaction_n or_o delusion_n rather_o because_o you_o lay_v the_o stress_n of_o your_o pardon_n upon_o the_o absolution_n of_o that_o roman_a priest_n and_o not_o upon_o the_o sincerity_n of_o your_o repentance_n if_o a_o priest_n can_v forgive_v sin_n be_v whether_o man_n repent_v or_o no_o then_o indeed_o you_o may_v have_v lay_v the_o stress_n of_o your_o pardon_n on_o that_o forgiveness_n of_o the_o priest_n but_o since_o by_o your_o own_o confession_n that_o absolution_n of_o the_o priest_n signify_v nothing_o except_o people_n true_o repent_v for_o you_o to_o build_v your_o comfort_n on_o that_o absolution_n when_o it_o shall_v have_v be_v found_v upon_o your_o sincere_a repentance_n can_v but_o be_v a_o false_a fire_n and_o a_o counterfeit_a comfort_n if_o you_o say_v you_o do_v not_o fetch_v your_o peace_n from_o that_o absolution_n but_o from_o the_o sincerity_n of_o your_o repentance_n you_o catch_v yourself_o for_o if_o your_o true_a repentance_n must_v be_v the_o foundation_n of_o it_o than_o you_o may_v have_v take_v the_o same_o comfort_n in_o our_o church_n if_o you_o still_o reply_v you_o can_v not_o you_o only_o mean_v you_o will_v not_o for_o true_a repentance_n be_v true_a repentance_n in_o any_o church_n and_o if_o true_a repentance_n cause_v true_a comfort_n it_o will_v have_v cause_v true_a comfort_n in_o our_o church_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o roman_a and_o therefore_o there_o must_v be_v some_o cheat_n in_o this_o comfort_n the_o fancy_n you_o have_v since_o take_v up_o that_o the_o reason_n why_o you_o find_v comfort_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n upon_o your_o confession_n and_o absolution_n and_o none_o in_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v because_o the_o priest_n of_o that_o church_n be_v true_a priest_n and_o those_o of_o we_o be_v not_o be_v as_o solid_a as_o your_o peace_n if_o we_o have_v no_o true_a priest_n in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n then_o most_o certain_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v none_o the_o bishop_n which_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o our_o reformation_n do_v ordain_v bishop_n priest_n and_o deacon_n among_o we_o be_v ordain_v by_o bishop_n of_o that_o church_n and_o if_o the_o character_n of_o order_n by_o their_o own_o confession_n be_v indelible_a than_o it_o be_v not_o all_o the_o thunder_n and_o lightning_n of_o excommunication_n at_o rome_n can_v annul_v it_o it_o be_v true_a your_o ghostly_a father_n very_o confident_o tell_v you_o a_o quality_n incident_a to_o that_o sort_n of_o man_n that_o our_o first_o protestant_a bishop_n never_o receive_v order_n from_o bishop_n of_o the_o church_n of_o
