so_o here_o god_n shall_v forgive_v by_o his_o priest_n who_o he_o have_v delegated_a with_o power_n in_o these_o course_n now_o this_o can_v stand_v for_o 1_o the_o priest_n shall_v more_o proper_o

it_o no_o this_o power_n be_v not_o delegable_a to_o creature_n first_o because_o it_o be_v a_o personal_a royalty_n which_o god_n can_v give_v to_o other_o unless_o he_o will_v make_v himself_o a_o

second_o this_o be_v such_o a_o act_n wherein_o no_o man_n can_v be_v a_o competent_a judge_n as_o man_n may_v be_v in_o cause_n betwixt_o man_n and_o man_n which_o be_v civil_a because_o a_o man_n
