that kept vnlaufully his fathers wife the which being knowen to their Apostle S. Paule who then was absent from them being accōted of him as in deede it was an exceding greuous facte and notorious he gaue in charge to the Church of Corinth to take the person that had so offended as excōmunicated that is to say to be seperated from the sacramēts the seruice the common felowship of Sainctes But see with what a maiesty might of operatiō with what force of woordes and authority of his calling with what a straunge kinde of punishment Christes officer here correcteth the offender Thus runneth his determinate sentence on the offender that al the worlde may take heede and wonder at the Churches autority and contemne the vaine voices of thē that doo restrain the power of Gods ministers only to the preaching of the Gospell The form of excommunication and binding offenders vsed by S. Paule I being absent in bodie but present in spirite haue alreadie giuen iudgemēt as well as if I were present that the person that hathe thus wickedlie wrought should be deliuered vppe to Sathan in the vertue of oure Lorde Christ Iesus you there being gathered with my spirite in the name of oure said Lord Iesus ād al this for the vexation of his flesh that his soule may be safe in the day of our Lord Iesꝰ Christ This in effecte is the Apostles sentence on that Incestous person wherby he was temporally tormented by the force of S. Paules power of binding sinners giuen by Christ and exercised no otherwise as you may see but in Christes vertue and holy name Where it may be noted for a straunge efficacy of mans woorde that the diuel him selfe should be therby appointed to tormēt a sinners body not as he would but as far as the diuine Magistrat shal limite him Diabolus enim quia ad hoc paratus est vt auersos a Deo accipiat in potestatē audita sententia corripit eos The diuell saith S. Ambrose who is alwayes ready to take them to his power In 1. Cap. 1. ad Tim. that ar turned frō God streight as sone as he heareth the sentence pronounced vpō sinners he doth afflict ād correct thē As it may also appere by our Sauiors woords in the Gospel Lucae 13. of a womam y● had spiritum infirmitatis the spirite of infirmity whō that diuel had xviij yeares together faste bound in sicknes for her sins to whom also Christ gaue a pardō by impositiō of his holy hands Wher we may haue an other example of his mercy in loosing the tēporal band punishment appointed for sinne But let vs turne to S. Pauls patiēt whō we lefte by the key of the Apostles iurisdiction so fast locked bound for his wickednes let vs cōsider whether by the same iurisdictiō he may not receiue pardō be loosed by wich he was boūd punished before Yea let vs not doubt but it stoode in Paules pleasure to pardō the man soner or later as he thought most cōueniēt for the Churches edifiyng the parties profit therfore might haue tyed him for twēty yeares together either in Sathās bōdes or other ēioyned penaunce or cōtrary if he had thought expediēt might haue loosed him within one houre so haue giuen him so many dayes of pardō as he list meant to recōpence by Christes satisfaction and the communion of Sainctes in which the lackes of certaine may be supplied by the abundance of others S. Paule gaue pardon 2. Cor. 2. Thus then S. Paule meaning to pardon the penitent giueth the Church of Corinth to vnderstande his pleasure touching the said sinner that there stoode in the bandes of penaunce vpon his former sentence Let this rebuke and checke giuen him of many be enough And now rather it were expediēt that you did forgiue him and comforte him least perhaps he be drowned ād ouerwhelmd with excessiue sorow Therfor I pray you renew ād cōfirme your loue towardes him againe I moue you in this matter to proue whether you be obedient in al things And where you pardō there doo I forgiue also In deed as for me whē I pardon it is for your sakes and in the person of Christ that we be not circumuented of the diuel whose meaning in suche matters I wel vnderstande Thus yow see did that Apostle punish thus did he remit again Hauing the moderatiō of the Churches discipline in his hādes so far as his iurisdictiō did extēd amōgest Christs people whose obediēce in all suche matters he claimed as you may perceiue by his owne woords not yet without great respect cōsideratiō of the offenders case especial care of the Churches edifying Cap. 65. Enchir. For ful truly S. Augustin said In actione autem poenitentiae vbi tale crimen commissum est vt is qui cōmisit a Christi etiā corpore separetur non tam consideranda est mensura temporis quàm doloris In the dooing of penaūce wher the sinne is such that it deserueth excōmunication ther is not so much respect to be had of the time as of his sorowfulnes that cōmitted the facte That the Churche of God meaneth not to make al men partaker of her Pardōs which would seme to be relieued therby but suche onely as be of fit disposition therefore and how they ought to be qualified that must be partakers thereof The tenth Chapter IT is here necessarie therfore that we should aduertise all mē that the Popes Bishops of holye Churche thoughe they haue not only by Christes expresse woorde but also by the warraunt of the Apostles Pardons are not al vvays beneficiall no more thē the sacramēts thēselues and practise of their predecessours authoritie to binde and loose yet euery of their Pardons or releasing of penaunce not alwaies to be beneficiall to euery one that shall claime benefite thereby either in the world present or the nexte For the holy sacramentes them selues doe not at all times atteine to that effecte in man for which they were instituted by Christ through the vnworthines of the partie that shoulde receiue them Therefore to make the Pardon 's beneficiall as there must be good consideration and respect in the giuer so the receiuer must by especiall loue zele and deuotion be made fit and apte to be partaker of so singular a treasure The giuer of the Pardons because he is a man may haue sinister respect to the parties person whom he seeketh to pleasure either for kinred for frendship for feare for ritches for honoure suche like and they which required thē may for slouthfullnes because they list not doo penaunce for their sinnes or for delicatenesse whiles they refuse to absteine from thinges that be pleasaunt for recompense of their pleasures paste in these and suche other cases some Popes may giue by the abuse of their Keies and authoritie or by errour proceding on false suggestion a pardō as the penitent
