that_o the_o jew_n upon_o christ_n his_o forgive_n of_o one_o his_o sin_n say_v that_o none_o can_v forgive_v sin_n but_o god_n only_o true_o in_o deed_n it_o be_v that_o no_o mortal_a man_n of_o

you_o think_v the_o apostle_n by_o this_o authority_n give_v they_o by_o christ_n have_v power_n to_o forgive_v sin_n or_o not_o tawney-scarf_n i_o think_v i_o must_v confess_v they_o have_v red_a scarf_n have_v authority_n then_o to_o forgive_v sin_n do_v you_o think_v they_o do_v use_v it_o tawney-scarf_n it_o may_v be_v they_o do_v red-scarf_n we_o must_v make_v it_o a_o clear_a case_n that_o they_o so_o do_v for_o if_o they_o do_v not_o then_o do_v christ_n give_v they_o a_o frivolous_a commission_n or_o themselves_o commit_v a_o great_a fault_n in_o neglect_v to_o execute_v his_o will_n b●t_v it_o be_v impiety_n to_o think_v that_o either_o christ_n will_v give_v a_o frivolous_a commission_n or_o that_o his_o disciple_n will_v neglect_v the_o execution_n thereof_o tawney-scarf_n admit_v that_o christ_n give_v they_o such_o authority_n and_o that_o they_o execute_v it_o be_v it_o therefore_o say_v that_o priest_n shall_v have_v it_o now_o red-scarf_n if_o such_o power_n and_o grace_n have_v only_o be_v give_v by_o christ_n to_o his_o apostle_n and_o be_v not_o to_o remain_v from_o they_o unto_o their_o successor_n than_o can_v no_o body_n have_v reap_v benefit_n thereby_o but_o such_o as_o live_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o be_v conversant_a with_o they_o and_o so_o shall_v all_o other_o ensue_a christian_n have_v remain_v depryve_v of_o this_o grace_n and_o benefit_n but_o so_o to_o think_v be_v also_o impiety_n when_o christ_n give_v his_o apostle_n commission_n to_o go_v over_o all_o the_o world_n to_o preach_v and_o baptise_v i_o suppose_v you_o will_v not_o say_v that_o he_o intend_v not_o that_o their_o successor_n shall_v also_o preach_v and_o baptise_v if_o he_o intend_v they_o shall_v as_o i_o make_v no_o doubt_n you_o will_v confess_v why_o shall_v he_o not_o also_o intend_v the_o authority_n of_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n unto_o the_o successor_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o end_n that_o after-coming_a christian_n may_v aswell_o enjoy_v that_o grace_n and_o benefit_n as_o those_o that_o live_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n or_o show_v where_o the_o one_o be_v call_v in_o or_o prohibit_v and_o the_o other_o not_o tawney-scarf_n i_o fear_v i_o i_o shall_v fail_v of_o my_o expect_a victory_n red-scarf_n i_o dare_v warrant_v you_o so_o much_o because_o you_o may_v see_v yourself_o in_o so_o good_a forwardness_n of_o fail_v already_o tawney-scarf_n but_o this_o confess_v of_o one_o sin_n to_o a_o priest_n be_v such_o a_o thing_n that_o i_o much_o wonder_v how_o people_n can_v be_v bring_v unto_o it_o red-scarf_n if_o you_o well_o consider_v thereof_o you_o shall_v see_v it_o a_o work_v not_o to_o be_v wrought_v by_o man_n but_o by_o the_o wonderful_a concur_v power_n of_o god_n for_o how_o be_v it_o else_o possible_a that_o apostle_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o convert_v somanie_fw-fr pagan_a prince_n &_o people_n to_o christianity_n and_o consequent_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o that_o devotion_n and_o humility_n as_o to_o kneel_v down_o and_o make_v confession_n of_o their_o sin_n to_o a_o priest_n whereas_o we_o can_v see_v that_o minister_n do_v convert_v any_o such_o people_n unto_o any_o their_o new_a religion_n albeit_o it_o be_v far_o more_o easy_a and_o will_v never_o trouble_v they_o with_o confession_n of_o sin_n this_o practice_n of_o confession_n of_o sin_n albeit_o to_o the_o ear_n of_o new_a teacher_n it_o seem_v harsh_a yet_o be_v it_o put_v in_o practice_n by_o the_o holy_a friend_n of_o christ_n s._n john_n baptist_n before_o christ_n give_v the_o authority_n of_o pardon_v sin_n unto_o his_o apostle_n for_o the_o penitent_a people_n that_o resort_v unto_o s._n john_n baptist_n do_v make_v confession_n of_o their_o sin_n which_o it_o be_v not_o like_a they_o will_v have_v do_v nor_o that_o the_o scripture_n will_v have_v mention_v it_o as_o a_o deed_n well_o do_v if_o s._n john_n himself_o have_v not_o persuade_v they_o unto_o it_o or_o approve_v it_o the_o scripture_n say_v they_o come_v unto_o he_o confess_v their_o sin_n it_o be_v one_o thing_n for_o a_o man_n to_o confess_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o sinner_n and_o another_o thing_n to_o confess_v his_o sin_n for_o when_o he_o confess_v his_o sin_n he_o confess_v what_o sin_n he_o have_v commit_v and_o the_o apostle_n s_o james_n promulgate_v the_o precept_n by_o say_v confess_v your_o sin_n one_o to_o another_o for_o this_o apostle_n know_v that_o christ_n h●●_n say_v to_o he_o and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n who_o
