of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o penance_n can_v take_v upon_o he_o to_o absolve_v any_o man_n of_o deadly_a sin_n and_o damnation_n due_a therefore_o for_o though_o some_o do_v think_v that_o saint_n paul_n do_v absolve_v the_o incestuous_a corinthian_a both_o of_o his_o sin_n and_o damnation_n with_o all_o temporal_a punishment_n due_a therefore_o after_o assure_a repentance_n of_o the_o party_n out_o of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o penance_n yet_o i_o can_v agree_v in_o any_o case_n thereunto_o because_o the_o sacrament_n of_o confession_n have_v ever_o be_v of_o necessity_n since_o christ_n institution_n thereof_o and_o because_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v so_o proper_a a_o work_n unto_o god_n that_o no_o creature_n can_v ever_o work_v the_o same_o absolute_o without_o sacrament_n save_v only_o the_o humanity_n of_o christ_n to_o which_o the_o act_n of_o divinity_n as_o be_v unite_v to_o the_o godhead_n be_v communicate_v upon_o which_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o christ_n our_o saviour_n may_v remit_v sin_n absolute_o out_o of_o all_o external_a sacrament_n by_o his_o word_n and_o will_v only_o which_o be_v the_o power_n of_o excellency_n be_v as_o divine_n do_v think_v communicate_v to_o no_o other_o creature_n in_o what_o jurisdiction_n or_o pre-eminence_n soever_o he_o shall_v be_v place_v and_o in_o the_o act_n of_o absolution_n &_o remission_n of_o sin_n proceed_v joint_o from_o that_o one_o excellent_a person_n be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n neither_o be_v it_o to_o be_v think_v that_o saint_n paul_n do_v pardon_v the_o foresay_a penitent_n any_o other_o way_n then_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o minister_n and_o priest_n of_o the_o corinthian_a church_n for_o though_o the_o confession_n and_o penance_n of_o the_o party_n be_v public_a as_o the_o sin_n itself_o be_v open_a yet_o the_o usage_n of_o the_o apostie_a and_o open_a practice_n of_o the_o corinthian_a church_n towards_o he_o be_v no_o less_o a_o sacrament_n then_o than_o it_o be_v now_o be_v secret_a therefore_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o saint_n paul_n speak_v especial_o to_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o corinthian_n when_o he_o will_v they_o to_o confirm_v their_o charity_n towards_o the_o sinner_n and_o to_o forgive_v he_o by_o their_o ministry_n who_o he_o think_v in_o absence_n worthy_a to_o receive_v the_o grace_n and_o pardon_n at_o their_o hand_n whereof_o we_o shall_v speak_v more_o hereafter_o in_o place_n convenient_a we_o do_v not_o then_o exalte_v the_o pope_n or_o bishop_n in_o this_o case_n any_o thing_n so_o far_o as_o heresy_n seem_v or_o the_o simplicity_n of_o many_o man_n conceive_v whereas_o they_o may_v well_o understand_v that_o we_o give_v more_o authority_n to_o the_o most_o simple_a priest_n alive_a in_o respect_n of_o his_o order_n and_o because_o of_o the_o sacrament_n by_o which_o he_o work_v then_o to_o the_o pope_n or_o high_a potentate_n in_o the_o world_n consider_v but_o only_o his_o jurisdiction_n and_o therefore_o saint_n peter_n himself_o who_o receive_v both_o the_o key_n as_o also_o other_o apostle_n and_o bishop_n have_v as_o well_o the_o key_n or_o power_n of_o order_n as_o the_o key_n of_o jurisdiction_n and_o regiment_n of_o their_o subject_n may_v do_v the_o act_n of_o both_o the_o key_n that_o be_v to_o say_v may_v as_o well_o lawful_o minister_v sacrament_n of_o all_o sort_n as_o also_o exercise_v jurisdiction_n upon_o their_o subject_n in_o such_o thing_n as_o we_o hereafter_o shall_v declare_v but_o out_o of_o the_o sacrament_n only_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o their_o jurisdiction_n to_o absolve_v man_n of_o mortal_a sin_n though_o they_o be_v subject_a unto_o they_o they_o can_v not_o nor_o as_o i_o think_v ever_o pope_n or_o prelace_n take_v upon_o he_o any_o such_o pre-eminence_n and_o therefore_o let_v this_o be_v the_o first_o point_n of_o our_o consideration_n that_o the_o pope_n pardon_n or_o indulgence_n which_o he_o give_v in_o respect_n of_o his_o jurisdiction_n which_o also_o as_o most_o man_n do_v think_v he_o may_v give_v when_o he_o
