our_o great_a argument_n be_v john_n 20._o 23._o whosesoever_o sin_n you_o remit_v they_o be_v remit_v and_o whosesoever_o sin_n you_o retain_v they_o be_v retain_v answer_v i_o this_o argument_n and_o i_o will_v yield_v up_o this_o cause_n prot._n what_o argument_n do_v you_o draw_v from_o these_o word_n pop._n hence_o it_o appear_v that_o minister_n be_v make_v judge_n and_o entrust_v with_o full_a power_n and_o authority_n of_o bind_v and_o lose_v so_o as_o christ_n do_v not_o loose_a or_o forgive_v a_o sinner_n by_o himself_o but_o only_o by_o the_o priest_n as_o bellarmin_n say_v 3._o and_o to_o speak_v proper_o as_o our_o most_o learned_a vasquez_n affirm_v god_n do_v not_o proper_o loose_v a_o sinner_n but_o only_o approve_v of_o the_o priest_n lose_v of_o he_o 3._o prot._n now_o in_o my_o opinion_n it_o be_v good_a manner_n to_o make_v the_o priest_n come_v after_o god_n and_o not_o to_o make_v god_n depend_v upon_o the_o priest_n it_o seem_v then_o if_o the_o priest_n shall_v grow_v surly_a or_o envious_a and_o deny_v i_o a_o pardon_n christ_n can_v help_v i_o for_o he_o have_v give_v the_o power_n out_o of_o his_o hand_n so_o you_o make_v the_o priest_n the_o judge_n and_o god_n only_o the_o approver_n the_o lord_n rebuke_v this_o spirit_n of_o blasphemy_n again_o nothing_o be_v more_o familiar_a in_o scripture_n than_o for_o god_n minister_n to_o be_v say_v to_o do_v that_o which_o they_o do_v only_o authoritative_o declare_v that_o god_n will_v do_v thus_o god_n say_v to_o jeremy_n i_o have_v set_v thou_o over_o kingdom_n to_o root_v out_o and_o pull_v down_o and_o destroy_v that_o be_v by_o declare_v that_o god_n will_v do_v it_o in_o like_a manner_n god_n minister_n be_v say_v to_o bind_v and_o loose_v because_o they_o have_v from_o god_n authority_n to_o declare_v a_o sinner_n to_o be_v bind_v by_o his_o sin_n or_o loose_v from_o they_o which_o if_o they_o declare_v true_o and_o according_a to_o god_n word_n god_n in_o heaven_n do_v and_o will_v make_v it_o good_a as_o for_o this_o text_n it_o say_v nothing_o but_o this_o that_o every_o one_o who_o they_o bind_v or_o loose_v that_o be_v proceed_v according_a to_o their_o rule_n which_o be_v always_o to_o be_v understand_v shall_v be_v bind_v or_o loose_v in_o heaven_n but_o it_o do_v not_o say_v that_o no_o man_n be_v bind_v or_o loose_v but_o they_o who_o the_o priest_n bind_v and_o lose_v but_o beside_o if_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v grant_v how_o do_v this_o text_n prove_v that_o the_o priest_n or_o pope_n can_v absolve_v or_o release_v any_o soul_n out_o of_o purgatory_n if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o place_n i_o pray_v you_o tell_v i_o can_v the_o pope_n bind_v any_o soul_n and_o keep_v he_o in_o purgatory_n pop._n no_o we_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o that_o prot._n then_o he_o can_v loose_v a_o soul_n neither_o out_o of_o purgatory_n for_o i_o be_o sure_a bind_n and_o lose_v be_v of_o the_o same_o extent_n but_o upon_o second_o thought_n i_o must_v own_o your_o discretion_n for_o the_o bind_n of_o soul_n in_o purgatory_n be_v a_o invidious_a and_o unprofitable_a work_n and_o will_v have_v bind_v up_o man_n heart_n and_o purse_n it_o be_v only_o the_o lose_n of_o they_o out_o which_o open_v their_o purse_n string_n &_o tend_v to_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n that_o be_v the_o pope_n and_o priest_n as_o they_o always_o understand_v that_o word_n in_o sober_a sadness_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v any_o serious_a christian_a abhor_v your_o church_n that_o your_o pope_n shall_v not_o be_v content_a to_o usurp_v a_o power_n over_o the_o whole_a visible_a world_n but_o that_o he_o shall_v extend_v his_o authority_n to_o the_o other_o world_n even_o to_o purgatory_n in_o my_o opinion_n he_o have_v do_v more_o wise_o to_o have_v extend_v his_o empire_n to_o hell_n for_o there_o be_v many_o of_o his_o predecessor_n so_o far_o as_o can_v be_v judge_v by_o any_o man_n life_n who_o he_o may_v have_v appoint_v his_o

i_o pray_v you_o tell_v i_o if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o i_o have_v hear_v that_o the_o pope_n when_o he_o die_v receive_v absolution_n from_o his_o confessor_n and_o that_o after_o his_o death_n the_o cardinal_n give_v he_o absolution_n and_o give_v order_n for_o the_o sing_n of_o abundance_n of_o mass_n pop._n it_o be_v true_a i_o be_v at_o rome_n when_o the_o last_o pope_n die_v and_o it_o be_v so_o then_o and_o our_o book_n justify_v it_o prot._n i_o be_o much_o please_v with_o your_o ingenuity_n so_o the_o pope_n give_v the_o priest_n a_o power_n to_o pardon_v himself_o methinks_v he_o may_v save_v the_o charge_n of_o a_o confessor_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o say_v i_o absolve_v myself_o but_o tell_v i_o do_v you_o say_v mass_n for_o any_o that_o be_v in_o heaven_n or_o in_o hell_n pop._n no_o we_o utter_o disclaim_v that_o prot._n then_o i_o perceive_v the_o pope_n go_v into_o purgatory_n i_o see_v your_o pope_n be_v not_o self-seeking_a man_n as_o they_o be_v slander_v to_o be_v that_o help_v so_o many_o thousand_o out_o of_o purgatory_n and_o leave_v themselves_o in_o but_o real_o this_o be_v to_o i_o a_o convince_a argument_n that_o you_o do_v not_o believe_v

can_v keep_v himself_o out_o and_o no_o man_n doubt_n of_o his_o will_n to_o do_v it_o beside_o your_o doctrine_n usurp_v upon_o god_n prerogative_n i_o have_v think_v it_o be_v only_o my_o father_n in_o heaven_n to_o who_o i_o shall_v have_v pray_v forgive_v we_o our_o trespass_n now_o it_o seem_v we_o must_v pray_v so_o to_o one_o of_o these_o padre_n upon_o earth_n you_o make_v subject_n the_o supreme_a judge_n of_o all_o offence_n commit_v against_o their_o sovereign_n and_o your_o priest_n sit_v as_o umpire_n between_o god_n and_o the_o sinner_n and_o determine_v what_o satisfaction_n god_n shall_v have_v and_o what_o penance_n the_o sinner_n shall_v undergo_v methinks_v they_o be_v brave_a fellow_n and_o i_o now_o see_v it_o be_v not_o without_o ground_n that_o father_n cotton_n

will_v bring_v christ_n upon_o his_o knee_n too_o for_o it_o seem_v you_o have_v resolve_v that_o he_o shall_v stand_v to_o your_o priest_n arbitration_n i_o may_v add_v to_o this_o that_o you_o leave_v the_o soul_n of_o people_n to_o endless_a perplexity_n you_o confess_v that_o indulgence_n profit_v not_o if_o a_o man_n be_v not_o in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n 13._o which_o you_o say_v a_o man_n can_v certain_o know_v or_o if_o a_o man_n have_v not_o make_v a_o free_a and_o full_a confession_n after_o sufficient_a examination_n poenitentia_fw-la and_o who_o know_v when_o he_o have_v

to_o venture_v my_o soul_n upon_o such_o sandy_a foundation_n that_o yourselves_o be_v afraid_a and_o ashamed_a of_o but_o to_o leave_v this_o i_o perceive_v that_o this_o and_o divers_a of_o your_o other_o doctrine_n be_v ground_v upon_o that_o of_o the_o merit_n of_o good_a work_n which_o because_o i_o judge_v a_o very_a pernicious_a and_o dangerous_a doctrine_n let_v i_o hear_v what_o you_o

do_v not_o hold_v merit_n strict_o but_o cast_v the_o honour_n of_o all_o upon_o christ_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n therefore_o i_o pray_v you_o inform_v i_o pop._n i_o will_v be_v plain_a and_o

especial_o in_o a_o person_n of_o bad_a memory_n your_o judge_n can_v pass_v sentence_n without_o know_v the_o particular_a cause_n and_o therefore_o such_o knowledge_n be_v not_o necessary_a to_o

not_o every_o priest_n bind_v to_o believe_v that_o christ_n have_v absolve_v every_o person_n that_o be_v true_o penitent_a pop._n there_o be_v no_o question_n of_o that_o prot._n suppose_v a_o
