leave_v sin_n by_o the_o assistance_n of_o god_n grace_n but_o see_v how_o extravagant_a the_o papal_a doctrine_n be_v in_o this_o point_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o confess_v to_o a_o

only_o of_o god_n punishment_n and_o not_o out_o of_o hatred_n of_o sin_n yet_o upon_o the_o act_n of_o absolution_n he_o enjoy_v the_o benefit_n of_o remission_n as_o full_o as_o if_o he_o have_v true_a and_o entire_a repentance_n together_o with_o hatred_n of_o sin_n in_o this_o manner_n they_o breed_v up_o a_o sinner_n and_o make_v he_o in_o his_o affection_n to_o cleave_v fast_o to_o his_o

they_o have_v do_v their_o part_n when_o they_o have_v go_v over_o the_o beadroule_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o so_o receive_v absolution_n but_o those_o good_a soul_n that_o put_v not_o this_o

the_o punishment_n as_o the_o romanist_n vain_o teach_v for_o god_n when_o he_o pardon_v the_o sin_n remit_v also_o the_o punishment_n as_o be_v most_o clear_a in_o scripture_n but_o because_o these_o be_v fruit_n of_o inward_a repentance_n and_o part_n of_o outward_a and_o so_o make_v way_n for_o remission_n of_o sin_n but_o the_o romish_a preposterous_a course_n mistake_v and_o mis-doing_a in_o the_o dark_a night_n of_o this_o error_n work_v clean_o contrary_a and_o set_v the_o cart_n before_o the_o horse_n first_o grant_v remission_n and_o afterward_o impose_v work_n of_o repentance_n which_o indeed_o shall_v go_v before_o repentance_n and_o much_o more_o before_o remission_n and_o by_o this_o reckon_n the_o unhappy_a soul_n when_o they_o think_v themselves_o most_o free_a then_o remain_v most_o bind_v and_o unpardoned_a before_o the_o throne_n of_o god_n this_o devise_n therefore_o of_o sacramental_a confession_n and_o sacramental_a absolution_n as_o they_o term_v it_o as_o
