john_n 20.23_o who_o soever_o sin_n you_o remit_v they_o be_v remit_v and_o because_o he_o be_v a_o priest_n therefore_o this_o authority_n belong_v to_o he_o so_o then_o because_o christ_n have_v say_v to_o all_o priest_n who_o sin_n you_o remit_v they_o be_v remit_v though_o he_o say_v it_o to_o far_o other_o purpose_n then_o m._n bishop_n practise_v it_o therefore_o john_n a_o style_n must_v believe_v that_o m._n bishop_n have_v authority_n from_o christ_n to_o absolve_v he_o from_o all_o his_o sin_n now_o will_v not_o m._n bishop_n be_v so_o favourable_a to_o we_o as_o that_o from_o a_o

leave_v the_o man_n to_o apprehend_v the_o promise_n upon_o conscience_n of_o his_o own_o repentance_n and_o faith_n in_o christ_n therefore_o all_o this_o idle_a talk_n of_o m._n bishop_n be_v but_o

cast_v his_o club_n not_o know_v who_o he_o shall_v strike_v as_o the_o fisherman_n cast_v his_o net_n not_o know_v what_o fish_n he_o shall_v catch_v no_o otherwise_o then_o the_o apostle_n do_v at_o
