by_o these_o few_o consideration_n first_o then_o the_o church_n of_o england_n retain_v and_o advise_v to_o her_o child_n confession_n absolution_n and_o penance_n but_o than_o she_o make_v not_o

may_v be_v prove_v by_o that_o very_a passage_n of_o st._n hierom_n which_o our_o author_n cit_v where_o he_o compare_v the_o priestly_a absolution_n to_o the_o cleanse_n of_o leper_n by_o the_o priest_n under_o the_o old_a law_n a_o comparison_n very_o frequent_a with_o the_o father_n for_o as_o the_o jewish_a priest_n make_v not_o the_o leper_n clean_a but_o only_o declare_v they_o so_o

a_o priest_n will_v avail_v the_o sinner_n nothing_o nor_o set_v he_o right_o in_o the_o court_n of_o heaven_n 4._o penance_n in_o the_o ancient_a church_n be_v chief_o intend_v not_o as_o a_o satisfaction_n to_o god_n for_o the_o violation_n of_o his_o law_n but_o as_o a_o satisfaction_n to_o the_o church_n for_o the_o scandal_n give_v to_o other_o and_o reproach_n draw_v upon_o the_o whole_a church_n by_o the_o former_a crime_n or_o irregular_a practice_n of_o the_o penitent_n and_o therefore_o be_v ever_o augment_v or_o relax_v according_a to_o the_o various_a exigency_n or_o necessity_n of_o time_n 5._o in_o the_o ancient_a church_n penance_n ever_o precede_v absolution_n and_o be_v the_o mean_n of_o obtain_v it_o whereas_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n the_o penitent_n be_v first_o absolve_v and_o then_o some_o subsequent_a penance_n be_v impose_v on_o he_o which_o take_v away_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o penance_n confession_n and_o absolution_n as_o they_o be_v use_v and_o design_v the_o ancient_a christian_n and_o tend_v only_o to_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o priest_n and_o delusion_n of_o private_a soul_n the_o seven_o column_n undertake_v to_o prove_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o invocation_n or_o prayer_n to_o saint_n and_o that_o they_o pray_v for_o we_o the_o latter_a we_o need_v not_o deny_v but_o maintain_v that_o that_o will_v not_o warrant_v the_o former_a so_o that_o when_o all_o the_o spurious_a testimony_n those_o which_o we_o have_v already_o answer_v and_o those_o which_o prove_v only_o that_o the_o depart_a saint_n pray_v for_o we_o
