and the Lordes brethern all Led Sisters to wiues without ambiguitie In this chapter Paul sheweth great libertie They that sowe things spiritual should reape things carnall And that as mynisters vsed of olde antiquitie So should they haue for preaching the truth Euangelical But yet in his Epistles this is the summe totall The workeman his meate and reward should be deuised And so sayth Chryst him selfe wherein concludeth Paule That they ought with meate and clothes to be suffised These should preach with true predication How that disobedience hath giuen death and damnation And how the law was giuen to know to reconcile agayn Whose works wrought outward is litle more than vain For therby commeth abundance and copious fertilitie But inward from the hart that giueth life eternall But if one once thinke agaynst it by Gods true equitie There is death condemnation vnto the paines infernal And after these things timorous they shuld preach repentāce And remission of sins by our sauiour christs diligēce As a lambe vndefiled he hath made deliueraunce And made our attonement by his true obedience His death hath slayne death al the Diuels pretence To them that beléeueth it and made iustification After they be baptised they haue for their defence The gift of the holy ghost to kéepe them to saluation Now who beléeueth not this with this key is bound That it can not be dissolued with the Roman Acheron Nor with all his children liuing on the grounde As Aletho Megers nor yet Tesiphone Nor by his owne works nor no mans optation But beléeuing this truth the other key dissolueth For on this stone is builded the Christen congregation which the edifiers must build on or els it nought profiteth Thou art Chryst quod Peter the son of the liuing God Here Peter confesseth al not knowing it no fayle Of him selfe for he spake it not of fleshe and bloud And agaynst this Rocke hell gates nor sin can preuayle Christ promised the keys of knowledge bicause the wits are frail In the same chapter to declare it Christ began I must dye and ryse quod he to Peter let his tale Spare thy self master he said thou offēdest me quod christ sathā Thou finellest worldly things quod he but not things celestial Here is to be noted that Peter reckned playne That he was Messias or a Sauiour temporall Therefore Chryst behight the Keyes the truth to certaine In the eyghtéene of Mathewe he sheweth more agayne For bynding of Heresies vnto the apostles al In Iohn we may sée the Keyes they did obtayne To lose and bynde sinnes and that with power coequall Chryst commaunded saith Luke before his ascention The apostles to go to the world vniuersall To preach his tydings glad and true Euangelion And who is baptised and beléeueth it they shal be saued all Nowe this key loseth from all sinnes in generall And who beléeueth it not damned shall he bée Now this key bindeth and Chryst in especiall Of fayth wrought the miracles in his humanitie In Hierusalem the Apostles by inspyration Were inflamed by instinction of the holy ghost And receyued newe tongs with the declaration Equally deuided as wel to least as most In the xv of the Actes there Iames he ruled the rost And Paule checked Peter this appéereth verament I marueile why then of Peter that they best For their power and their déedes were all equipolent Euery Apostle Priest Deacon and Senior In his Sée or personage or his habitation Should after twice monishing call euery Lepor Denying Gods lawes before the congregation And if he repent not then is their ministration To expulse him as an erronious Publican And giue him to the Deuill by excommunication As was Himeneus and Alexander and the Corinthian But when he beléeueth with perfect repentance They must edifie not destroye and absolue him againe And it be seuēti times vij times thei must make deliuerāce But for close sinnes confession in sinketh not in my brayne In the eare so particuler for to be had so playne As to shew quo vbi quomodo quando For Dauid sayde to God peccaui for certayne And confitebor tibi in toto corde meo As concerning confession particuler There is no priuate Scripture nor yet auriculer Except the veterous antique shadowe olde Of the scape Gote with the sinnes vpon hir horne inrold But by sainct Iohn Baptist and Scripture much more Generall confession that is euident So should our Prelates by their office euermore Giue absolution vnto the men penitent And minister the Sacraments with good reformation To eschue from sinnes and to liue in amitie To loue God their neighbors and in their predication Declare how the lawe is grounded on charitie And as they remit others forgiuen shall they bée Instructing from debate rancor and detraction And if this auayle not then belongeth it properly To the power of iustice to correct by coaction Here may wée fetche the temporall iustification By the father commaunded to Noe to do equitie As death to haue death and for reformation Iuda would haue brent Thamar for incontinence And Moyses had lawes for debts and for felonie For lecherie and murther and things m● a multitude And after Iudges kings had the same authoritie For punishment of sinnes with the outwarde turpitude Some happily wil say this power was abrogate I confesse it and deny not vnto a man righteous There is no lawe giuen but for sinners intoxicate But inasmuch as the tares wold destroy the corne fructuous And many be called few chosen this power must be prosperous To correct al tyrannie by a brotherly zeale And there is no man liuing so perfect and vertuous But the olde Adam in his flesh sometime he will féele Though the gospel know no lawes but groūdeth on charitie Yet we may take in hande for the disobediente Which wil not reconcile them by humilitie To complayne to the iudge to make them to be shente And he to the Minister to giue the prefermente To put them irremediable into captiuitie Till they haue payed the last farthing this in not tegent But permitted by Chryst in Mathew we may sée Who layeth hand on the sword quod Christ vnto Peter Shall perish with the same and for the théeues crucified He gaue no rebuke and he sayd to the Minister If I haue saide ill recorde ill these words he specified To the Centurion souldiors was nothing notified Yet Chryst praysed his fayth and humble submission Saint Iohn to the souldiers these words modefied Be content with your wages and worke no oppression Thus it foloweth these men should be as vertuous As the other power should but for ministration By a brotherly zeale to correcte things tedious As murther rape theft felonie or treason Sin incest adulterie stuprum and fornication Extortion oppression simony and vsury And euery detestable outwarde abhomination As disceite periurie buggerie
