worthy_a of_o repentance_n which_o fruit_n be_v the_o work_n of_o satisfaction_n understand_v by_o we_o by_o this_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o holy_a baptist_n enjoin_v we_o more_o than_o our_o duty_n and_o beside_o those_o word_n which_o you_o quote_v be_v speak_v to_o the_o publican_n who_o he_o bid_v to_o exact_v no_o more_o than_o what_o be_v appoint_v they_o you_o have_v strain_v the_o

that_o you_o quote_v do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n require_v or_o that_o the_o prophet_n have_v deceive_v we_o god_n forbid_v for_o we_o find_v what_o be_v

in_o those_o word_n you_o quote_v do_v not_o seclude_v but_o rather_o include_v work_n of_o satisfaction_n for_o by_o do_v judgement_n and_o justice_n be_v to_o be_v under_o stand_v a_o severe_a

charity_n and_o to_o walk_v humble_o with_o god_n what_o be_v it_o but_o resignation_n of_o ourselves_o to_o he_o and_o perfect_a submission_n to_o his_o will_n join_v with_o a_o exact_a care_n to_o keep_v his_o divine_a precept_n in_o this_o point_n of_o penance_n we_o be_v require_v to_o show_v all_o the_o severity_n in_o the_o world_n against_o ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v judge_v of_o ourselves_o be_v not_o judge_v of_o the_o lord_n as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o beside_o the_o prophet_n micah_n there_o rebuke_n not_o those_o that_o go_v about_o by_o good_a work_n to_o satisfy_v for_o their_o sin_n but_o those_o that_o foolish_o think_v by_o their_o pitiful_a sacrifice_n and_o burnt-offering_n with_o the_o blood_n of_o ram_n and_o bull_n and_o goat_n etc._n etc._n to_o

be_v not_o in_o themselves_o acceptable_a to_o god_n to_o the_o four_o and_o last_o i_o do_v answer_n and_o grant_v that_o the_o passion_n of_o christ_n be_v sufficient_a to_o take_v away_o all_o sin_n and_o the_o guilt_n of_o punishment_n as_o well_o temporal_a as_o eternal_a it_o follow_v not_o therefore_o that_o nothing_o be_v require_v on_o our_o part_n to_o be_v do_v for_o in_o the_o

the_o apostle_n paul_n exhort_v his_o penitent_n thus_o not_o to_o yield_v their_o member_n as_o instrument_n of_o unrighteousness_n unto_o sin_n but_o to_o yield_v themselves_o unto_o god_n as_o those_o that_o be_v alive_a from_o the_o dead_a and_o your_o member_n as_o instrument_n of_o righteousness_n unto_o god_n now_o to_o what_o you_o imply_v of_o argument_n in_o that_o christ_n jesus_n be_v the_o great_a physician_n and_o so_o likely_a to_o make_v a_o perfect_a cure_v as_o well_o from_o guilt_n of_o the_o punishment_n as_o from_o the_o guilt_n of_o the_o sin_n itself_o i_o do_v acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v the_o great_a physician_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o to_o cure_v perfect_o as_o you_o say_v yet_o very_o different_o 4._o luke_n 4._o and_o sometime_o sudden_o and_o all_o at_o once_o as_o peter_n wife_n mother_n who_o be_v perfect_o restore_v to_o perfect_a health_n sometime_o again_o he_o be_v please_v to_o cure_v very_o leisurely_o as_o when_o he_o cure_v the_o

to_o turn_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n with_o such_o a_o power_n that_o it_o shall_v present_o enjoy_v a_o perfect_a spiritual_a health_n as_o he_o do_v that_o of_o the_o bless_a magdalen_n sometime_o again_o he_o remit_v the_o sin_n by_o his_o operate_a grace_n and_o afterward_o work_v so_o with_o his_o cooperate_a grace_n that_o in_o process_n of_o time_n he_o take_v away_o all_o the_o guilt_n of_o punishment_n and_o all_o the_o other_o relic_n of_o sin_n it_o be_v not_o therefore_o to_o be_v prove_v by_o any_o of_o christ_n corporal_n or_o spiritual_a cure_n that_o the_o sin_n be_v remit_v all_o the_o punishment_n be_v remit_v likewise_o but_o rather_o the_o contrary_a and_o i_o shall_v proceed_v further_a to_o prove_v it_o thus_o the_o catholic_n doctrine_n that_o i_o be_o to_o prove_v now_o against_o you_o be_v this_o that_o sin_n be_v by_o contrition_n confession_n and_o absolution_n perfect_o forgive_v the_o penitent_a aught_o yet_o to_o satisfy_v for_o the_o temporal_a

dare_v present_o to_o thrust_v himself_o before_o his_o divine_a majesty_n that_o he_o have_v offend_v but_o by_o mediator_n and_o intercessor_n the_o wise_a of_o king_n solomon_n rise_v up_o to_o

shall_v not_o jesus_n christ_n a_o great_a and_o a_o wise_a than_o solomon_n honour_v his_o mother_n in_o the_o like_a kind_n it_o be_v most_o manifest_a that_o the_o angel_n be_v assist_v to_o we_o and_o pray_v for_o we_o 33_o mat._n 2.8_o mark_v 12_o psalm_n 33_o then_o why_o shall_v not_o we_o pray_v to_o they_o and_o there_o be_v the_o same_o reason_n for_o the_o saint_n as_o for_o the_o angel_n who_o be_v their_o equal_n in_o heaven_n as_o we_o find_v in_o the_o holy_a gospel_n 90._o psalm_n 90._o how_o freequent_o in_o the_o psalm_n do_v the_o royal_a prophet_n speak_v of_o god_n send_v his_o angel_n to_o snatch_v we_o out_o of_o danger_n to_o guard_v we_o and_o to_o keep_v we_o in_o all_o our_o way_n etc._n etc._n then_o we_o find_v in_o the_o prophet_n zachcariah_n 1.12.13_o zach._n 1.12.13_o how_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o lord_n intercede_v for_o the_o people_n in_o these_o word_n o_o lord_n of_o host_n how_o long_o will_v thou_o not_o have_v mercy_n on_o jerusalem_n 1.7_o heb._n 1.7_o and_o on_o the_o city_n of_o judah_n against_o which_o thou_o have_v bad_a indignation_n these_o threescore_o and_o ten_o year_n and_o the_o lord_n answer_v the_o angel_n with_o good_a word_n and_o comfortable_a word_n then_o s._n 8._o act_n 12.12.7_o 8._o paul_n call_v the_o angel_n minnistr_a spirit_n and_o we_o find_v how_o freequent_o they_o have_v deliver_v god_n servant_n as_o s._n peter_n out_o of_o prison_n etc._n etc._n now_o i_o say_v if_o it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n to_o help_v we_o by_o their_o prayer_n the_o same_o reason_n will_v hold_v for_o the_o saint_n who_o be_v as_o the_o evangelist_n aforesaid_a tell_v we_o their_o equal_n both_o in_o their_o favour_n and_o power_n with_o god_n and_o that_o they_o do_v too_o be_v as_o manifest_v for_o the_o lord_n have_v sometime_o seek_v for_o a_o saint_n to_o stand_v in_o the_o gap_n as_o he_o say_v himself_o in_o ezeckiel_n 22.30.31_o ezek._n 22.30.31_o and_o i_o seek_v for_o a_o man_n among_o they_o that_o shall_v make_v up_o the_o hedge_n and_o stand_v in_o the_o gap_n before_o i_o for_o the_o land_n that_o i_o shall_v not_o destroy_v it_o but_o i_o find_v none_o therefore_o have_v i_o pour_v out_o my_o indignation_n upon_o they_o i_o have_v consume_v they_o with_o the_o fire_n of_o my_o wrath_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o do_v the_o lord_n do_v it_o for_o want_n of_o a_o acceptable_a intercesor_n but_o it_o be_v most_o clear_a in_o the_o apocalypse_v 5._o revel_v 4._o &_o 5._o how_o the_o four_o beast_n and_o four_o and_o twenty_o elder_n be_v

mere_a reason_n raise_v from_o a_o most_o undoubted_a scripture_n shall_v clear_v this_o point_n as_o first_o we_o find_v and_o i_o think_v no_o body_n question_n it_o that_o jesus_n christ_n as_o he_o be_v man_n do_v continual_o inter_v for_o all_o mankind_n especial_o his_o faithful_a one_o if_o any_o man_n do_v doubt_v let_v he_o look_v into_o s._n paul_n to_o the_o roman_n 7._o rom._n 8._o

but_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n if_o therefore_o christ_n our_o head_n according_a to_o his_o humanity_n pray_v for_o we_o why_o shall_v not_o his_o member_n the_o saint_n that_o rain_v with_o he_o and_o be_v conformable_a to_o he_o intercede_v likewise_o in_o their_o proportion_n for_o their_o fellow_n member_n upon_o earth_n for_o we_o be_v all_o member_n of_o the_o same_o

do_v the_o same_o for_o we_o who_o be_v more_o perfect_a in_o charity_n more_o powerful_a with_o god_n and_o more_o pure_a in_o understanding_n for_o if_o they_o may_v not_o pray_v for_o we_o as_o the_o live_a do_v it_o will_v appear_v unworthy_a of_o christ_n grace_n and_o favour_n to_o they_o which_o we_o can_v apprehend_v or_o it_o must_v be_v because_o it_o be_v a_o purpose_n of_o the_o

for_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n and_o for_o the_o love_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o they_o pray_v to_o god_n for_o he_o so_o i_o do_v humble_o beseech_v the_o bless_a mother_n of_o god_n and_o all_o the_o saint_n of_o heaven_n to_o pray_v for_o i_o and_o all_o the_o world_n beside_o and_o so_o as_o s._n james_n advise_v we_o let_v we_o pray_v one_o for_o another_o that_o we_o may_v

you_o call_v a_o abominable_a and_o idolatorrious_a doctrine_n i_o answer_v thus_o to_o the_o first_o i_o say_v that_o god_n almighty_a in_o that_o commandment_n have_v sufficient_o explain_v his_o own_o mind_n both_o in_o the_o precedent_n and_o subsequent_a word_n for_o as_o he_o do_v forbid_v the_o worship_n of_o strange_a god_n so_o he_o forbide_v the_o image_n of_o they_o to_o be_v erect_v but_o we_o worship_v not_o the_o saint_n for_o god_n therefore_o we_o be_v not_o at_o all_o prohibit_v by_o that_o commandment_n to_o set_v up_o their_o image_n for_o in_o the_o first_o place_n he_o

so_o far_o from_o be_v hinder_v or_o deprive_v that_o be_v plain_o imply_v and_o prove_v to_o the_o four_o i_o must_v most_o clear_o acknowledge_v with_o the_o prophet_n that_o the_o way_n of_o a_o

thus_o to_o the_o first_o i_o grant_v that_o it_o be_v indulge_v to_o the_o priest_n and_o levite_n in_o the_o old_a law_n to_o have_v wife_n because_o they_o have_v a_o long_a time_n of_o vacancy_n from_o the_o exercise_n of_o their_o ministry_n or_o priesthood_n for_o there_o be_v a_o great_a multitude_n of_o they_o and_o they_o serve_v by_o course_n the_o case_n be_v not_o the_o same_o now_o for_o our_o priest_n be_v in_o daily_a service_n of_o the_o altar_n and_o command_v to_o be_v always_o ready_a and_o without_o delay_n to_o attend_v their_o ministry_n so_o it_o will_v be_v very_o inconvenient_a for_o they_o to_o be_v clog_v with_o wife_n beside_o the_o indecency_n of_o it_o again_o they_o be_v to_o be_v only_o of_o one_o tribe_n the_o tribe_n of_o levi_n that_o be_v to_o be_v take_v into_o their_o priesthood_n it_o be_v therefore_o necessary_a for_o the_o conservation_n of_o the_o tribe_n and_o propagation_n of_o the_o priesthood_n itself_o which_o otherwise_o in_o one_o age_n will_v have_v fail_v that_o their_o priest_n shall_v marry_v beside_o we_o find_v that_o those_o that_o be_v to_o sacrifice_v in_o the_o old_a law_n do_v abstain_v sometime_o from_o their_o

of_o christ_n as_o to_o the_o other_o part_n of_o your_o argument_n that_o the_o greek_n and_o other_o christian_n have_v a_o liberty_n for_o their_o priest_n to_o marry_v i_o say_v you_o be_v

priest_n and_o if_o his_o wife_n die_v he_o must_v remain_v single_a so_o a_o marry_a man_n may_v be_v make_v a_o priest_n but_o no_o priest_n can_v be_v make_v a_o marry_a man_n to_o the_o second_o that_o command_n of_o the_o almighty_a which_o you_o insist_v upon_o to_o increase_v and_o multiply_v be_v give_v when_o the_o earth_n be_v to_o be_v replenish_v &_o heaven_n too_o for_o then_o then_o
