will_v not_o fail_v to_o have_v they_o for_o a_o effectual_a desire_n will_v move_v he_o to_o apply_v all_o mean_n necessary_a for_o and_o to_o remove_v all_o impediment_n against_o that_o end_n and_o from_o hence_o i_o infer_v that_o every_o one_o may_v obtain_v true_a contrition_n by_o the_o assistance_n of_o god_n grace_n if_o his_o endeavour_n be_v not_o want_v and_o even_o these_o your_o exaggeration_n of_o the_o great_a danger_n man_n may_v incur_v by_o want_n of_o intention_n in_o the_o minister_n or_o defect_n in_o the_o matter_n or_o form_n of_o baptism_n and_o penance_n may_v move_v he_o to_o procure_v contrition_n for_o make_v all_o sure_a and_o so_o out_o of_o your_o poisonous_a doctrine_n make_v wholesome_a triacle_n but_o you_o be_v mistake_v if_o you_o conceyve_v

will_v supply_v all_o such_o defect_n as_o to_o humane_a endeavour_n be_v unavoidable_a and_o therefore_o though_o his_o priest_n be_v indeed_o no_o priest_n yet_o to_o he_o he_o shall_v be_v as_o if_o he_o be_v one_o and_o if_o he_o give_v absolution_n without_o intention_n yet_o in_o do_v so_o he_o shall_v hurt_v himself_o only_o and_o not_o his_o penitent_n 58._o answer_n we_o have_v

contrition_n which_o be_v a_o clear_a and_o solid_a way_n of_o supply_v the_o say_a defect_n as_o that_o which_o you_o propose_v be_v not_o if_o your_o meaning_n be_v that_o although_o the_o priest_n be_v no_o priest_n or_o give_v absolution_n without_o intention_n yet_o god_n will_v either_o make_v it_o a_o valid_a sacrament_n immediate_o as_o i_o may_v say_v perform_v by_o himself_o alone_o the_o function_n of_o the_o priest_n or_o else_o will_v give_v the_o effect_n which_o the_o sacrament_n will_v have_v confer_v if_o it_o have_v be_v valid_a without_o any_o change_n in_o the_o penitent_a as_o if_o for_o example_n he_o have_v attrition_n only_o his_o sin_n shall_v be_v forgive_v no_o less_o than_o if_o he_o have_v receyve_v true_a absolution_n or_o have_v arrive_v to_o a_o act_n of_o contrition_n now_o certain_o this_o your_o way_n can_v not_o quiet_a the_o fear_n of_o any_o understand_a man_n unless_o you_o can_v bring_v some_o irrefragable_a authority_n or_o convince_a reason_n which_o be_v impossible_a for_o you_o to_o do_v that_o god_n do_v ever_o make_v valid_a a_o absolution_n invalid_a for_o want_v of_o a_o true_a minister_n or_o intention_n or_o that_o a_o deadly_a sin_n may_v be_v forgive_v by_o attrition_n alone_o if_o you_o suppose_v that_o god_n do_v effectual_o move_v he_o to_o contrition_n you_o alter_v the_o case_n and_o your_o opinion_n and_o contradict_v your_o own_o word_n that_o though_o his_o priest_n be_v indeed_o no_o priest_n yet_o to_o he_o he_o shall_v be_v as_o if_o he_o be_v one_o for_o if_o the_o penitent_a have_v contrition_n that_o false_a priest_n be_v not_o to_o he_o as_o if_o he_o be_v one_o but_o all_o pass_v as_o if_o he_o have_v never_o confess_v his_o sin_n to_o any_o such_o man_n only_o by_o change_n of_o the_o disposition_n in_o the_o penitent_n himself_o which_o be_v the_o same_o which_o i_o have_v declare_v and_o so_o upon_o the_o matter_n your_o particular_a way_n of_o quiet_v such_o
