and_o therefore_o let_v this_o be_v the_o first_o point_n of_o our_o consideration_n that_o the_o pope_n pardon_n or_o indulgence_n which_o he_o give_v in_o respect_n of_o his_o jurisdiction_n which_o also_o as_o most_o man_n do_v think_v he_o may_v give_v when_o he_o

person_n and_o cause_n not_o proper_o pertain_v unto_o they_o as_o when_o the_o pope_n indulgence_n give_v the_o sinner_n leave_v to_o choose_v his_o ghostly_a father_n and_o by_o he_o that_o he_o may_v be_v assoil_v even_o from_o such_o sin_n as_o be_v reserve_v to_o the_o supreme_a power_n of_o the_o church_n in_o this_o matter_n also_o the_o indulgence_n join_v with_o the_o ordinary_a

hard_a that_o neither_o the_o pope_n nor_o any_o bishop_n can_v give_v pardon_n of_o any_o mortal_a sin_n but_o by_o reservation_n of_o case_n it_o appear_v that_o the_o pope_n challenge_v this_o

we_o see_v how_o this_o gear_n hang_v together_o the_o pope_n have_v this_o prerogative_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o high_a jurisdiction_n for_o in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o penance_n every_o priest_n by_o order_n as_o we_o hear_v before_o have_v as_o much_o authority_n as_o he_o then_o if_o these_o case_n be_v reserve_v to_o the_o pope_n jurisdiction_n this_o reservation_n do_v prove_v that_o

be_v reserve_v to_o the_o supreme_a power_n of_o the_o church_n it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n for_o the_o priest_n in_o this_o case_n be_v but_o the_o pope_n deputy_n to_o exercise_v the_o pope_n
