in_o us._n if_o we_o confess_v our_o sin_n god_n be_v faithful_a and_o just_a he_o will_v remit_v they_o and_o cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o our_o iniquity_n if_o we_o say_v we_o have_v not_o sin_v we_o make_v he_o a_o liar_n and_o his_o word_n be_v not_o us._n my_o well-beloved_a child_n this_o i_o write_v unto_o you_o that_o you_o sin_v not_o but_o if_o any_o man_n sin_n we_o have_v a_o advocate_n with_o the_o father_n jesus_n christ_n the_o righteous_a and_o he_o be_v the_o propitiation_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o not_o for_o our_o sin_n only_o but_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n therefore_o god_n we_o ought_v to_o confess_v ourselves_o chief_o unto_o god_n even_o from_o the_o hart_n for_o that_o he_o chief_o do_v remit_v sin_n without_o who_o absolution_n little_o avail_v the_o absolution_n of_o man_n this_o kind_n of_o confession_n be_v profitable_a and_o good_a the_o author_n of_o the_o canon_n say_v that_o although_o auricular_a confession_n make_v unto_o the_o

of_o sin_n unto_o the_o priest_n and_o whereas_o christ_n command_v the_o leper_n to_o show_v themselves_o unto_o the_o priest_n they_o say_v that_o christ_n mean_v that_o those_o that_o be_v

even_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o their_o decres_fw-la unto_o the_o end_n they_o ground_n their_o say_n upon_o the_o old_a law_n which_o be_v the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n and_o not_o as_o

to_o the_o word_n that_o christ_n speak_v to_o the_o leper_n lord_n if_o thou_o will_v thou_o can_v make_v i_o clean_o and_o jesus_n stretch_v forth_o his_o hand_n touch_v he_o say_v i_o will_v be_v

of_o the_o priest_n but_o to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n in_o offer_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o his_o cleanse_n &_o for_o a_o testimony_n unto_o the_o priest_n who_o always_o of_o envy_n accuse_v

he_o have_v show_v himself_o cleanse_v unto_o the_o priest_n them_z may_v the_o priest_n have_v accuse_v christ_n as_o a_o transgressor_n of_o the_o law_n because_o it_o be_v a_o precept_n of_o the_o law_n that_o the_o leper_n after_o he_o be_v cleanse_v shall_v show_v himself_o unto_o the_o priest_n and_o they_o have_v sign_n in_o the_o book_n of_o law_n whereby_o they_o may_v judge_v whether_o

they_o segregate_v he_o from_o the_o company_n of_o other_o that_o be_v clean_o see_v every_o figure_n aught_o to_o be_v assimule_v unto_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v figure_v i_o pray_v you_o then_o what_o agreement_n be_v there_o between_o the_o cleanse_n of_o leper_n by_o the_o law_n &_o the_o confession_n of_o sin_n by_o that_o law_n the_o priest_n know_v better_a whether_o he_o be_v leprouse_v than_o he_o himself_o that_o have_v the_o leper_n in_o confession_n the_o priest_n know_v not_o the_o sin_n of_o he_o that_o be_v confess_v but_o by_o his_o own_o confession_n in_o that_o law_n the_o priest_n do_v not_o cleanse_v the_o leprouse_n how_o now_o therefore_o ought_v the_o priest_n to_o cleanse_v sinner_n from_o their_o sin_n &_o that_o without_o they_o they_o can_v be_v cleanse_v in_o this_o law_n the_o priest_n have_v certain_a sign_n by_o the_o which_o he_o can_v certain_o know_v whether_o a_o man_n be_v cleanse_v from_o his_o leper_n or_o not_o in_o confession_n the_o priest_n be_v not_o certain_a of_o the_o cleanse_n of_o sin_n because_o he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o his_o contrition_n he_o know_v not_o also_o whether_o he_o will_v not_o sin_v any_o more_o without_o the_o which_o contrition_n and_o grant_v to_o sin_n no_o more_o god_n have_v not_o absolve_v any_o sinner_n and_o if_o god_n have_v not_o absolve_v a_o man_n without_o doubt_n than_o be_v he_o not_o make_v clean_o and_o how_o then_o be_v confession_n figure_v under_o that_o law_n doubtless_o so_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o under_o the_o correction_n of_o they_o that_o can_v judge_v better_o in_o the_o matter_n that_o this_o law_n bear_v rather_o a_o figure_n of_o excommunication_n &_o reconciliation_n of_o he_o that_o have_v be_v obstinate_a in_o his_o sin_n &_o be_v reconcile_v again_o for_o so_o it_o appear_v by_o the_o process_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o when_o as_o the_o sinner_n do_v not_o amend_v for_o the_o private_a correction_n of_o his_o brother_n nor_o for_o the_o correction_n of_o two_o or_o three_o neither_o yet_o for_o the_o public_a correction_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n then_o be_v he_o to_o be_v count_v as_o a_o ethnic_n &_o a_o publican_n &_o as_o a_o certain_a leper_n to_o be_v avoid_v out_o of_o the_o company_n of_o all_o man_n which_o sinner_n notwithstanding_o if_o he_o shall_v yet_o repent_v be_v then_o to_o be_v reconcile_v because_o he_o be_v then_o cleanse_v from_o his_o obstinacy_n but_o he_o which_o pretend_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o chief_a vicar_n of_o christ_n scripture_n and_o the_o high_a priest_n say_v that_o he_o have_v

sinner_n penance_n for_o their_o sin_n and_o grant_v that_o from_o their_o sin_n he_o may_v well_o absolve_v they_o yet_o from_o the_o pain_n which_o they_o call_v a_o poena_fw-la he_o do_v not_o simple_o absolve_v punishment_n as_o in_o his_o indulgence_n he_o promise_v but_o if_o he_o be_v in_o charitye_n and_o have_v such_o power_n as_o he_o pretend_v he_o will_v suffer_v none_o to_o lie_v in_o purgatory_n for_o sin_n forsomuch_o as_o that_o pain_n do_v far_o exceed_v all_o other_o pain_n which_o here_o we_o suffer_v what_o man_n be_v there_o be_v in_o charity_n but_o if_o he_o see_v
