confession_n be_v ordain_v by_o christ_n as_o the_o papist_n false_o and_o gross_o imagine_v yet_o will_v it_o follow_v by_o a_o necessary_a consecution_n that_o every_o pope_n shall_v be_v in_o

authority_n not_o from_o the_o pope_n but_o from_o christ_n himself_o the_o three_o opinion_n be_v caietans_n who_o affirm_v that_o the_o priest_n have_v authority_n to_o absolve_v the_o pope_n neither_o from_o christ_n nor_o from_o the_o pope_n nor_o from_o the_o church_n but_o only_o by_o election_n to_o wit_n in_o that_o the_o pope_n submit_v himself_o to_o the_o priest_n and_o choose_v he_o and_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o four_o opinion_n which_o hold_v that_o as_o in_o receive_v of_o priesthood_n power_n of_o jurisdiction_n be_v give_v to_o every_o simple_a priest_n in_o respect_n of_o venial_a sin_n and_o of_o those_o mortal_n which_o the_o penitent_a nath_n otherwise_o confess_v and_o also_o in_o respect_n of_o every_o sinner_n in_o the_o point_n of_o death_n so_o be_v

note_v 1_o first_o that_o since_o our_o lord_n be_v the_o god_n of_o peace_n and_o not_o of_o dissension_n as_o record_v his_o holy_a apostle_n in_o many_o place_n it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o this_o popish_a doctrine_n be_v not_o of_o god_n which_o be_v so_o divide_v against_o itself_o and_o 33._o therefore_o say_v caietain_v true_o though_o unwitting_o and_o to_o another_o end_n when_o he_o deny_v the_o priest_n to_o have_v his_o authority_n from_o christ_n or_o from_o his_o church_n 2_o i_o note_v second_o that_o their_o doctrine_n be_v mere_a opinative_a as_o which_o be_v only_o ground_v upon_o man_n invention_n 3_o i_o note_v three_o that_o as_o the_o priest_n jurisdiction_n be_v uncerten_a so_o be_v the_o pope_n absolution_n also_o as_o which_o be_v consectarie_n thereunto_o and_o consequent_o that_o the_o pope_n stand_v in_o danger_n of_o his_o salvation_n and_o so_o if_o i_o be_v not_o deceive_v the_o obscurity_n of_o this_o conclusion_n be_v make_v

their_o power_n be_v independent_a &_o that_o they_o be_v subject_a to_o none_o but_o to_o god_n alone_o 6_o six_o that_o popish_a dissension_n be_v of_o matter_n most_o important_a and_o incredible_a to_o such_o as_o be_v not_o well_o acquaint_v with_o their_o book_n 7_o seaventhly_a that_o the_o writing_n of_o the_o ancient_a father_n be_v to_o be_v receive_v with_o great_a reverence_n yet_o so_o as_o we_o acknowledge_v they_o to_o be_v man_n to_o have_v their_o error_n and_o to_o bind_v we_o to_o their_o authority_n no_o further_o than_o they_o accord_v with_o the_o holy_a scripture_n 8_o
