a_o great_a many_o sin_n which_o if_o that_o be_v abrogate_a many_o will_v make_v more_o bold_a with_o for_o say_v they_o many_o be_v restrain_v from_o commit_v a_o bad_a action_n from_o the_o shame_n they_o have_v to_o confess_v it_o afterward_o the_o papist_n will_v tell_v you_o that_o the_o protesttant_n reject_v this_o sacrament_n because_o they_o love_v libertinism_n and_o hate_v all_o

i_o do_v profess_v that_o i_o have_v observe_v more_o of_o honesty_n of_o conscience_n and_o of_o virtue_n in_o the_o external_n part_n of_o a_o civil_a life_n among_o the_o protestant_n than_o ever_o i_o find_v among_o the_o papist_n with_o all_o their_o confession_n as_o for_o that_o which_o be_v internal_a it_o be_v god_n alone_o that_o can_v judge_v of_o it_o and_o i_o hope_v that_o the_o

the_o communion_n of_o rome_n beside_o i_o conceive_v that_o auricular_a confession_n may_v be_v rather_o prejudicial_a than_o any_o way_n advantageous_a to_o a_o christian_a life_n which_o i_o prove_v thus_o bad_a company_n and_o vain_a conversation_n be_v prohibit_v because_o they_o be_v common_o know_v to_o corrupt_v good_a manner_n corrumpunt_fw-la bonos_fw-es more_o be_v colloquia_fw-la prava_fw-la now_o we_o may_v true_o say_v that_o the_o priest_n and_o the_o monk_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v every_o day_n whilst_o they_o be_v in_o their_o confessionals_n in_o very_o

which_o they_o have_v almost_o continual_o before_o they_o make_v the_o confessor_n accustom_v themselves_o by_o degree_n with_o they_o and_o to_o have_v less_o horror_n for_o they_o and_o commit_v they_o with_o less_o reluctancy_n the_o clergy_n be_v thus_o corrupt_v by_o the_o secular_o do_v as_o it_o be_v in_o revenge_n influence_n a_o double_a corruption_n upon_o the_o secular_o and_o by_o the_o perpetual_a circulation_n of_o their_o secret_a communication_n or_o confession_n they_o miserable_o infect_v and_o spoil_v one_o another_o we_o may_v conclude_v then_o that_o the_o confessionals_n be_v rather_o worse_o than_o bad_a company_n and_o for_o the_o little_a good_a which_o sometime_o by_o chance_n they_o may_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o they_o give_v occasion_n to_o far_o great_a evil_n which_o without_o there_o will_v never_o happen_v moreover_o we_o must_v add_v to_o this_o the_o dangerous_a and_o false_a doctrine_n that_o be_v teach_v and_o preach_v in_o the_o

which_o be_v due_a to_o sinner_n without_o which_o they_o will_v never_o have_v have_v any_o sorrow_n for_o have_v offend_v he_o they_o suppose_v therefore_o according_a to_o this_o doctrine_n that_o a_o man_n who_o be_v altogether_o destitute_a of_o charity_n or_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o what_o be_v more_o who_o have_v a_o formal_a hatred_n against_o he_o as_o he_o consider_v he_o

by_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o exalt_v the_o force_n and_o virtue_n of_o auricular_a confession_n which_o be_v so_o please_a and_o profitable_a to_o they_o though_o with_o the_o loss_n of_o so_o many_o soul_n who_o perish_v by_o this_o unhappy_a persuasion_n probably_n after_o have_v deceive_v a_o great_a many_o other_o they_o at_o last_o deceive_v themselves_o also_o for_o many_o of_o these_o confessor_n dye_v like_o dog_n and_o make_v desperate_a end_n endeavour_v to_o persuade_v themselves_o that_o their_o confession_n and_o their_o fear_n of_o fall_v into_o

there_o be_v scarce_o a_o priest_n to_o be_v see_v at_o venice_n that_o go_v to_o confession_n one_o may_v see_v they_o often_o go_v direct_o from_o the_o stew_n to_o the_o altar_n and_o to_o

to_o the_o patriarch_n in_o write_v that_o they_o have_v confess_v themselves_o according_a to_o order_n the_o same_o method_n be_v observe_v at_o milan_n and_o in_o several_a other_o part_n of_o
