persuade_v all_o the_o member_n of_o his_o church_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o but_o let_v i_o ask_v he_o one_o question_n be_v these_o act_n of_o penance_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n intend_v as_o expression_n of_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n or_o as_o satisfaction_n for_o the_o punishment_n due_a to_o it_o be_v they_o necessary_a before_o absolution_n to_o qualify_v man_n to_o receive_v the_o pardon_n of_o their_o sin_n as_o the_o sign_n and_o demonstration_n of_o a_o sincere_a repentance_n or_o to_o be_v perform_v after_o the_o sin_n be_v forgive_v not_o to_o express_v our_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n but_o to_o undergo_v the_o punishment_n of_o it_o be_v they_o always_o the_o voluntary_a choice_n of_o the_o sinner_n as_o the_o expression_n of_o a_o hearty_a sorrow_n be_v or_o the_o sentence_n of_o a_o judge_n impose_v by_o the_o priest_n upon_o absolution_n or_o by_o the_o fear_n of_o purgatory_n now_o if_o such_o act_n of_o penance_n be_v only_o intend_v to_o satisfy_v for_o the_o punishment_n i_o think_v to_o undergo_v punishment_n whether_o with_o or_o without_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n do_v satisfy_v for_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n sorrow_n may_v be_v necessary_a to_o absolution_n but_o when_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n be_v pardon_v if_o man_n can_v undergo_v their_o penance_n without_o sorrow_n the_o satisfaction_n be_v never_o the_o less_o and_o shall_v he_o promote_v this_o doctrine_n that_o the_o work_n of_o penance_n avail_v nothing_o unless_o they_o be_v do_v with_o a_o hearty_a sorrow_n for_o sin_n man_n will_v not_o be_v so_o easy_o persuade_v to_o undergo_v their_o penance_n especial_o if_o the_o priest_n be_v fevere_a i_o observe_v far_o that_o the_o true_a reason_n why_o any_o think_v man_n be_v so_o fond_a of_o a_o external_a righteousness_n be_v to_o excuse_v they_o from_o true_a and_o real_a holiness_n of_o life_n all_o man_n know_v that_o in_o the_o office_n of_o piety_n and_o virtue_n they_o can_v never_o do_v more_o than_o be_v their_o duty_n and_o therefore_o as_o nothing_o can_v be_v matter_n of_o merit_n which_o be_v our_o duty_n so_o the_o true_a intention_n of_o all_o merit_n and_o work_n of_o supererogation_n be_v to_o supply_v the_o place_n of_o duty_n and_o to_o satisfy_v for_o their_o sin_n or_o to_o purchase_v a_o reward_n which_o they_o have_v no_o title_n to_o by_o do_v their_o duty_n that_o be_v because_o they_o do_v not_o their_o duty_n but_o then_o the_o jesuit_n represent_v it_o as_o if_o i_o say_v 81._o they_o can_v have_v no_o reward_n for_o do_v their_o duty_n and_o therefore_o they_o add_v work_n of_o supererogation_n which_o be_v jesuit_n like_a they_o may_v be_v reward_v for_o their_o duty_n if_o they_o will_v do_v it_o though_o they_o can_v merit_v by_o do_v their_o duty_n 3_o i_o observe_v that_o to_o make_v these_o meritorious_a and_o satisfactory_a superstition_n more_o easy_a one_o man_n may_v satisfy_v for_o another_o and_o communicate_v his_o merit_n to_o he_o this_o the_o jesuit_n confident_o say_v be_v a_o shame_n for_o each_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o satisfy_v for_o himself_o fulfil_v the_o penance_n impose_v on_o he_o now_o suppose_v that_o man_n be_v bind_v personal_o to_o perform_v those_o penance_n which_o be_v impose_v on_o they_o by_o their_o priest_n in_o confession_n what_o i_o say_v be_v not_o confine_v to_o penance_n impose_v in_o confession_n and_o i_o presume_v he_o will_v grant_v there_o be_v other_o satisfaction_n and_o penance_n necessary_a beside_o these_o do_v he_o never_o hear_v of_o man_n who_o have_v be_v hire_v to_o whip_v themselves_o for_o some_o rich_a and_o great_a sinner_n to_o say_v such_o a_o number_n of_o ave-maries_n for_o they_o if_o one_o man_n can_v satisfy_v for_o another_o what_o become_v of_o their_o indulgence_n which_o be_v the_o application_n of_o the_o merit_n of_o supererogate_a saint_n to_o those_o who_o need_v they_o another_o misrepresentation_n be_v that_o i_o say_v 79._o they_o pay_v for_o indulgence_n with_o money_n and_o buy_v satisfaction_n and_o merit_n but_o though_o indulgence_n be_v not_o to_o be_v have_v without_o money_n it_o be_v a_o sad_a misrepresentation_n to_o call_v this_o buy_v which_o shall_v only_o be_v call_v alms-deed_n but_o the_o thing_n be_v the_o same_o let_v they_o call_v it_o what_o they_o will_v alms-deed_n if_o they_o will_v call_v they_o alms-deed_n and_o that_o at_o a_o set_a rate_n and_o downright_a bargain_n be_v the_o price_n of_o indulgence_n and_o satisfaction_n and_o if_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o give_v alm_n be_v there_o such_o a_o express_a bargain_n and_o sale_n in_o the_o case_n i_o be_o of_o his_o mind_n that_o every_o alms-giver_n may_v with_o as_o much_o justice_n be_v accuse_v to_o have_v buy_v of_o god_n his_o grace_n and_o pardon_v for_o a_o sum_n of_o money_n from_o hence_o i_o proceed_v to_o show_v what_o kind_n of_o worship_n christ_n have_v prescribe_v to_o his_o disciple_n and_o the_o general_a account_n we_o have_v of_o it_o 4_o john_n 23_o 24._o but_o the_o hour_n come_v and_o now_o be_v when_o the_o true_a worshipper_n shall_v

because_o it_o concern_v what_o i_o have_v already_o account_v for_o that_o the_o christian_a religion_n admit_v of_o no_o external_a nor_o ceremonial_a righteousness_n the_o great_a design_n of_o

external_a righteousness_n cut_v off_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v external_a in_o religion_n at_o a_o blow_n because_o it_o cut_v off_o all_o hope_n and_o reliance_n on_o a_o external_a

it_o exclude_v all_o external_a act_n of_o worship_n well_o rhyme_v father_n brain_n and_o stair_n since_o god_n will_v be_v worship_v as_o a_o spirit_n he_o will_v now_o confine_v his_o peculiar_a

be_v seek_v for_o in_o house_n of_o wood_n and_o stone_n this_o say_v he_o exclude_v the_o use_n of_o church_n rather_o than_o barn_n that_o be_v because_o god_n do_v not_o confine_v his_o presence_n
