which is prepared for them from the beginning of the world Item to those that with charity doe prouide for mainteine helpe succoure and comfort the needefull hungry and naked and that doth lodge the

gouernment and that they with theyr inferriours and seruantes doe with equality in their degréese kéepe a christian lyfe lyke seruauntes of our lord almighty as redeemed a like by the blood of Christe he doth graūt vnto them Indulgentia plenaria Item to al those that accoumpt them selues dispensers or stewardes of spirituall and temporall goods and riches which they haue receaued of God if they distribute them to gloryfie hym and to helpe their neighboures he doth graunt vnto them a multiplication of the same goods and ryches so distributed and therewyth Indulgentia plenaria Item to all those that haue not firmly stoode to and loued the truth but haue beene beguyled and deceaued by the blynde doctryne of Antichrist and his mynysters and induced to followe the doctryne of Deuils whych are tradicions of men in place of the gospell and that now with a true feruent and harty desire are willingly reduced to trowe and deuyne obedyence and do know by the light of godly scriptures the errors superstitions guyles deceites idolatrise and other abhominations in the which they haue béene and doo renounce them withall their harts and hould the trwe god for theyr god do worship him in

children and that they liue in hope to possesse inioy the immortall inheritaunce not contaminated but incorruptible which is conserued and kept for them in the heauens Item to as many as be and desire to be faythfull seruauntes and disciples of Iesus Christ his deuyne maiesty and most reuerent holynes doeth graunt that with a stoute harte wythout feare of the aforesayd excōmunications or other decree whatsoeuer made by the said antichrist or his ministers that they may do reade in the Spanish French Italien English or other mother tongue or language the bookes of the olde and new testament and all other bookes of trwe and sound doctrine for that they may knowe howe to gouern themselues to liue hollily to know him and so to haue life euerlasting and herewith he doeth expressely commaund that they suffer not them selues to be depryued of this liberty vnder the paine of death perdition and damnation together with the enemies of his grace that do rebell agaynste his holy will and commaundements and that haue made the sayd excōmunication and decreese Item the same Lord Iesus Christ trwe interpreter of no wil of our most holy Father doth declare by these presents that all excōmunications and such lyke as be proceede from the sayd Antichrist chiefe and high priest of the man of same the sonne of perdition or from his inquisitor and false butcherly Bushops are trystes and of no validity nor effect because the offyce nor power to excōmunicate is not geuen to one that is blynd nor to a blynd and apotestaticall church embrewed with the blend of faithfull martirs and the sainctes of god our Lord and gouerned by the doctryne of desperation such as are the traditions of men but that office doth belong to such a one and to such a Church whose head is Iesus Christ to the apostles in his name and to all such as be their trew successors guided by the spirite of truth and that doe teach and liue by the trew doctrine of the gospell so pure as possible the rule lock and key to open and cōmunicate the kingdome of heauen to all beleeuers and to shut it agayne to all that do not beleeue and to the vnfaithfull rebels proceeding from and lyke vnto the Deuill and his members for whatsoeuer excōmunications they bee if they come not from the trwe courte or offyce which is Christes church if they be thondred out with booke bell and candell neuer so fiersly if they bee forged and formed by the free will and forsight of them that haue the name of pastors and yet in truth are very Idols and rauening wolues neuer so firmely yet it is not ratified nor allowed in the kingdom nor by the faithful of Christ but condemned and that with iust reason good right The Scribes and Pharisies were set in Moyses chayre and did set at naught the excomunications that Christ and his Apostles did preach and pronounce vnto and agaynst them yet we are taughte by the holy Ghost to abhorre them their examples and the like examples by whom soeuer they be shewed much more the examples of those Antechristes which are now the mockers of God and euen now do sit not in the chayre of Moyses but in the chayre of pestylence to entrap blinde and be the perdition of the people of Christ if they could and to be the trwe members mynisters of Sathan and enemies to the glory of Christ and of the bloud of the new testament To all those that do renounce these and such lyke false religions of perdition inuented by mē and with all their hartes doe imbrace the true healthfull saludable and celestiall religion that our Lord and holy Father Iesus Christ doth teache and by his spirite the Patriarcks apostles and Prophetes he doth graunte vnto them plenaria indulgentia and that they do inioy all the benefites moste blessed that are herein contayned Item all those that according to the church of God that he taught by the fathers of our faith the holy apostles and Prophetes doe beleeue that for all our sinnes veniall

saluation he made to sounde throughout the whole world that trumpette of the predycation of his grace and mercy towardes vs sending his legattes and Apostles to preach his pardon generall by his gospell to all those and vs that had bene traitors and rebels vnto him and his glory for that beleeuyng the grace and doctryne that on his behalfe was pronounced vnto them and vs they with vs and we with them should be absolued made free from all maner of Synnes bothe veniall and mortall and the punishments for the same the which they had broughte themselues and vs into This mercy although it were generall to all yet it did take effect but only in those which did truely beleeue with fayth and that did leaue of the seruice of sinne and did submit them selues with all their hartes to truth righteousenes and holynesse of lyfe for it hath bene séene in our age that men haue bene deceaued forgetting of him who is the fountayne of lyfe and wysdome in whome doeth consiste all trewe health and trusting in vayne thinges we haue lyued like vnbrideled horses in vnrighteousenesse and abhomynable Idolatryes by the cause whereof be and haue bene wars honger pestelence and many other ordynary chastisementes common and perticuler in and through al Christendom the which are testimonies that the wrath of god is iustly inflamed against vs and that the last day of his deuyne iudgement is at hand our moste holy and sempiternall high prieste with desire of our health and saluation and for that by trwe repentaunce we should conuert vnto hym to be made partakers of the lyfe euerlasting moued by his mercy doth charge and commaund now anew that this Iubily in the which is declared the fruit of his death which is the full pardon of all our sinnes and offences be preached to all christians throughout the whole world because that those which by true repentaunce and amendment of lyfe do receaue it be and are reconfiled and put in peace with God and so by consequente sette frée from all euils presente and to come the tenor whereof doth followe ¶ This is the Iubily and full pardon of sins a Culpa et Pena most graciously granted to the church of god dispersed throughoute the whole world BY the auctority of our most holy Father God almighty supreme hed and prouyder for all creatures and in the name of Iesus Christ his sonne the great pastoure and Bishop of our soules and by the vertue of the holy ghost maister and conseruer of the true church it is enioyned and expresly commaunded by the vertue of holy obedience to vs al and to as many of vs as haue receaued the Sacrament of holy baptisme that we reade and vnderstad and that we giue to vnderstand from one to another euery one according to the Talent or gifte that wee shall receaue hereby to preache the nature and propertie of him who doth call vs from darcknes to his admirable light and these immēsible graces the great priuiledges graunted therin perpetually to all the faithfull seruaūtes of Christ to as many as wil be and do receiue him and doe beleeue and truste firmely in the lyfe euerlasting gotten only by the sheading of his most pretious blood for that it is he that is that christ that from the beginning was promysed by god the father to our forefathers to be their sauiour and a sauioure of their séede and descendents by whose vertue strength and power should be destroied that old serpent by whom they their seede and discendēts were brought into the state of perdition the which he did conclude by his death and did appeasethe wrath of god and satisfie to his iudgemente for our sinnes and offences and by hys righteousenesse did obteyn for vs most copious plentious and eternal redemtion and pardon generall for our sins a Culpa et Pena as his most holy Father had decreed and ordeined from before the beginning and creation of the world and afterward to the ende to conuide or inuite vs to the receite of our health and discouering of his ryches and mercy though we be vnworthy yet he notwithstanding did loue vs by his sonne Iesus Christ and dyd promyse vs by his saints and seruants the prophets that in whatsoeuer tyme and place although our sinnes wer neuer so great and in number to the sandes of the sea yet if we did cal vpon him with a penitent heart truste in his mercy and desire pardon and forgeuenesse at his handes yea euen then of his great loue we should be so truely pardoned and restored to hys grace and frendshyppe as if we had neuer offended nor sinned againste him with promyse neuer to remem them agayne notwithstanding they were neuer so greate nor greuous because that Iesus Christe being become man in the parson of our flesh and in all thinges lyke vnto vs did take vpon him our sinnes and so by vs was brought vnder curses and malediction for that he tooke vppon his shoulders our sinnes and did suffer moste cruell death for them vpon a tree and by the infinite power and vertue of the Sacrafice that he tooke vpon him selfe to offer vpon the crosse he did blot out and destroy all our offences and sinnes wholy and did obteyne by his merites onely so riche and plentyfull a liberty for vs. Low the father of all mercy and god of all comfort and consolation to certifie vs of his good will with that which he will saue and take vs from the captiuity and bondage of the devill hauing established in his holy church this inestimable treasure of redemption of reconciliation and grace gayned onely by hys onely begotten sonne hee dothe now most liberally open it vnto vs for that as many as will may enioy the same and receue the benefit thereof euery one with hauing of a sure fayth and affiance that the bloud of the lambe without spott was shed and once offered for the sinnes of all mankynde to be a true oblation for the same and that there nedeth no other satisfaction nor absolution before god but onely it And therfore for as much as this is onely pardon for sinn it is now publyshed by the infinite mercy of god which doth pardon vs by one onely Iesus Christ whose bloud was shed to the same end and ther is no health in none other but in him because there is none other name vnder heauen giuen vnto men by the which they should be saued but onely his he will that all beleuers haue and houlde the same by and for his proper wisdome righteousnes santification and redemption because as he is god and redemer of all generally so is he of euery one particularly and therfore he will that euery one of hys in particular shall take haue hould and enioy the gracious redemption and pardon obtayned and bowght wyth christes bloude
