roman_a church_n you_o be_v oblige_v to_o get_v eternal_a life_n by_o your_o merit_n instead_o of_o put_v your_o whole_a trust_n in_o god_n mercy_n through_o jesus_n christ_n you_o shall_v never_o enjoy_v any_o peace_n of_o conscience_n see_v that_o the_o most_o righteous_a person_n have_v great_a defect_n and_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o god_n pardon_n good_a work_n indeed_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n not_o from_o any_o merit_n in_o they_o but_o as_o the_o only_a mean_n prescribe_v by_o god_n to_o attain_v the_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n one_o of_o the_o great_a disease_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n be_v that_o a_o sinner_n after_o he_o have_v confess_v his_o sin_n to_o a_o priest_n receive_v from_o he_o the_o pardon_n of_o they_o a_o sinner_n forgive_v another_o sinner_n offence_n commit_v against_o god_n as_o if_o a_o felon_n do_v forgive_v another_o felon_n crime_n commit_v against_o the_o king_n thereby_o a_o man_n make_v himself_o a_o judge_n in_o god_n cause_n a_o priest_n take_v upon_o he_o to_o be_v judge_n of_o sin_n which_o he_o know_v not_o for_o he_o know_v not_o the_o thought_n and_o the_o affection_n of_o the_o heart_n in_o which_o sin_n do_v chief_o consist_v neither_o do_v he_o know_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o sinner_n repentance_n without_o which_o there_o be_v no_o pardon_n indeed_o faithful_a pastor_n have_v receive_v of_o christ_n the_o power_n to_o remit_v sin_n as_o touch_v the_o ecclesiastical_a penalty_n and_o censure_n of_o the_o church_n and_o to_o reconcile_v the_o sinner_n exclude_v from_o the_o communion_n to_o the_o church_n but_o you_o will_v be_v much_o disappoint_v if_o you_o think_v that_o the_o pardon_v give_v you_o by_o a_o priest_n do_v exempt_v you_o from_o answer_v for_o your_o action_n before_o god_n judgement_n seat_n for_o when_o the_o king_n forgive_v a_o felon_n he_o do_v not_o exempt_v he_o from_o be_v judge_v by_o that_o great_a judge_n can_v a_o man_n that_o fear_v god_n and_o to_o who_o god_n have_v leave_v some_o liberty_n of_o judgement_n read_v without_o horror_n the_o cautel_n and_o rubric_n of_o the_o mass_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o missal_n which_o the_o priest_n have_v upon_o the_o altar_n whereby_o provision_n be_v make_v against_o the_o inconvenience_n that_o may_v happen_v to_o the_o consecrate_a host_n when_o it_o happen_v that_o mouse_n have_v gnaw_v the_o

in_o your_o heart_n to_o worship_v a_o god_n that_o may_v be_v steal_v or_o eat_v by_o beast_n or_o blow_v away_o by_o the_o wind_n and_o that_o be_v fall_v can_v raise_v himself_o how_o many_o time_n do_v scripture_n say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n give_v bread_n to_o his_o disciple_n and_o that_o we_o break_v and_o eat_v bread_n in_o the_o lord_n supper_n 20._o luke_n 22.19_o 20._o that_o bread_n

it_o be_v the_o sign_n and_o the_o memorial_n of_o it_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o worship_v it_o the_o roman_a church_n hold_v that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v communicate_v in_o the_o holy_a

his_o foot_n in_o his_o mouth_n the_o gospel_n tell_v we_o that_o in_o that_o holy_a action_n the_o devil_n enter_v into_o judas_n can_v you_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o devil_n enter_v together_o into_o he_o to_o strengthen_v these_o error_n the_o six_o chapter_n of_o st._n john_n gospel_n be_v impertinent_o allege_v in_o which_o the_o lord_n jesus_n speak_v of_o give_v
