all_o the_o difference_n be_v that_o the_o missal_n be_v of_o a_o ancient_a stand_n use_v even_o in_o basil_n and_o chrysostom_n time_n but_o our_o common-prayer_n book_n never_o know_v light_n till_o

a_o power_n of_o forgive_a sin_n the_o incommunicable_a attribute_n of_o the_o almighty_a and_o this_o be_v plain_a in_o their_o liturgy_n in_o which_o their_o priest_n be_v order_v to_o give_v

and_o not_o a_o word_n of_o confess_v and_o repent_v but_o when_o death_n be_v wait_v for_o they_o at_o their_o beds-head_n they_o have_v a_o power_n to_o give_v absolution_n they_o say_v and_o their_o never_o enjoin_v it_o but_o in_o the_o last_o agony_n be_v argument_n enough_o to_o conclude_v there_o be_v no_o obligation_n of_o repent_v among_o they_o till_o death_n look_v they_o in_o the_o face_n 9_o they_o know_v not_o what_o their_o belief_n be_v touch_v this_o power_n of_o absolution_n some_o of_o their_o divine_n affirm_v that_o the_o sentence_n by_o which_o absolution_n be_v give_v to_o the_o penitent_a be_v a_o absolute_a and_o definitive_a sentence_n judicial_o absolve_v he_o from_o the_o gild_n of_o his_o offence_n other_o of_o their_o doctor_n say_v that_o the_o form_n of_o absolution_n be_v declarative_a rather_o than_o absolute_a and_o think_v it_o a_o rashness_n to_o pronounce_v a_o definitive_a sentence_n in_o god_n name_n and_o thus_o though_o their_o faith_n be_v all_o pretend_a to_o be_v according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n yet_o it_o be_v wonderful_a hard_a to_o know_v what_o it_o be_v and_o whilst_o they_o thus_o disagree_v among_o

they_o make_v god_n of_o dead_a man_n erect_v church_n in_o their_o honour_n and_o dedicate_a they_o to_o their_o name_n nay_o they_o honour_v they_o more_o than_o god_n himself_o of_o the_o hundred_o

all_o other_o of_o bow_v kneel_v and_o pray_v be_v much_o inferior_a for_o these_o action_n we_o lawful_o use_v to_o creature_n we_o bow_v and_o kneel_v to_o our_o prince_n and_o by_o humble_a petition_n beg_v his_o assistance_n but_o to_o build_v temple_n and_o church_n to_o the_o honour_n and_o name_n of_o any_o creature_n be_v blasphemy_n and_o idolatry_n it_o be_v to_o make_v god_n of_o
