neither_o be_v it_o a_o positive_a law_n of_o the_o church_n for_o so_o it_o may_v be_v dispense_v withal_o upon_o some_o occasion_n but_o it_o be_v derive_v of_o god_n own_o eternal_a law_n as_o by_o

such_o proof_n as_o have_v be_v make_v therein_o or_o myself_o be_v beguile_v in_o my_o own_o conceit_n i_o think_v not_o only_o to_o take_v the_o advice_n of_o the_o best_a learned_a divines_n here_o but_o to_o make_v all_o sure_a i_o have_v demand_v the_o pope_n holiness_n that_o now_o be_v his_o sentence_n who_o express_o tell_v i_o that_o to_o participate_v with_o the_o protestant_n either_o

thus_o we_o see_v here_o this_o truth_n define_v out_o of_o peter_n chair_n so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o place_n of_o doubt_n at_o all_o neither_o must_v we_o think_v that_o this_o be_v the_o

three_o objection_n out_o of_o the_o afore_o say_v letter_n for_o out_o of_o this_o very_a letter_n i_o understand_v that_o many_o take_v occasion_n to_o descend_v go_v to_o the_o church_n think_v that_o both_o by_o the_o pope_n meaning_n and_o by_o the_o opinion_n of_o he_o which_o write_v the_o letter_n they_o have_v such_o liberty_n o_o extreme_a madness_n or_o to_o say_v better_o most_o impudent_a malice_n if_o the_o pope_n will_v have_v they_o which_o fall_v case_o receive_v again_o therefore_o do_v they_o not_o sin_n than_o do_v not_o the_o adulterer_n thief_n murderer_n sin_n because_o they_o must_v be_v easy_o receive_v again_o and_o who_o doubt_v but_o that_o every_o sinner_n although_o never_o so_o heinous_a must_v be_v receive_v again_o god_n forbid_v else_o but_o so_o that_o he_o repent_v and_o as_o the_o letter_n specifi_v in_o this_o very_a case_n yield_v some_o reasonable_a hope_n that_o he_o will_v hereafter_o stand_v more_o strong_o but_o the_o letter_n say_v that_o this_o sin_n be_v do_v of_o fear_n be_v less_o &_o more_o compassionable_a &_o more_o case_o to_o be_v absolve_v it_o seem_v that_o these_o grave_a interpreter_n make_v no_o account_n of_o any_o sin_n but_o only_o of_o that_o which_o be_v against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o so_o long_o as_o you_o leave_v any_o place_n for_o compassion_n or_o hope_v of_o absolution_n &_o remission_n they_o will_v have_v no_o sin_n at_o all_o god_n grant_v they_o be_v so_o fearful_a as_o they_o shall_v be_v even_o of_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o that_o they_o die_v in_o their_o obstinacy_n &_o impenitency_n it_o may_v not_o be_v say_v hereafter_o of_o they_o which_o our_o saviour_n say_v of_o the_o jew_n 10.8_o 10.8_o i_o go_v and_o you_o shall_v seek_v i_o &_o shall_v die_v in_o your_o sin_n as_o for_o their_o fear_n 1_o l._n 3._o ●th_n c._n 1_o aristotle_n will_v tell_v they_o that_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v do_v for_o fear_n be_v voluntary_a and_o he_o bring_v our_o

action_n which_o he_o conclude_v not_o withstand_v such_o fear_n to_o be_v voluntary_a and_o so_o be_v this_o action_n of_o go_v to_o the_o church_n and_o consequent_o a_o sin_n still_o although_o it_o may_v be_v by_o such_o fear_n somewhat_o diminish_v but_o not_o transfer_v from_o a_o mortal_a sin_n to_o a_o venial_a as_o we_o will_v afterward_o show_v but_o the_o priest_n must_v here_o forsooth_o exact_v less_o security_n from_o fall_v again_o than_o in_o any_o other_o sin_n therefore_o can_v this_o be_v no_o sin_n where_o sufficient_a security_n of_o avoid_v it_o be_v not_o exact_v
