to_o say_v in_o this_o article_n be_v this_o that_o the_o judicial_a absolution_n of_o the_o priest_n do_v effect_v no_o material_a event_n or_o change_n in_o the_o penitent_a as_o to_o the_o give_v

this_o god_n work_v his_o own_o work_n in_o we_o and_o when_o his_o minister_n observe_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o divine_a grace_n he_o can_v and_o aught_o to_o publish_v and_o declare_v to_o all_o

they_o add_v this_o that_o there_o be_v a_o imperfect_a contrition_n which_o by_o a_o distinct_a word_n they_o call_v attrition_n which_o be_v a_o natural_a grief_n or_o a_o grief_n proceed_v whole_o from_o fear_n or_o smart_n and_o have_v in_o it_o nothing_o of_o love_n and_o this_o they_o say_v do_v not_o justify_v the_o man_n nor_o pardon_v the_o sin_n of_o itself_o but_o if_o this_o man_n come_v to_o the_o priest_n and_o confess_v and_o be_v absolve_v that_o absolution_n make_v this_o attrition_n to_o become_v contrition_n or_o which_o be_v all_o one_o it_o pardon_v the_o man_n sin_n and_o though_o this_o imperfect_a penitent_n can_v hope_v for_o pardon_n upon_o the_o confidence_n of_o that_o indisposition_n yet_o by_o the_o sacrament_n of_o penance_n or_o priestly_a absolution_n he_o may_v hope_v it_o and_o shall_v not_o be_v deceive_v indeed_o if_o this_o be_v true_a it_o be_v a_o great_a advantage_n to_o some_o person_n who_o need_v it_o mighty_o but_o they_o be_v the_o worst_a sort_n of_o penitent_n and_o such_o which_o though_o they_o have_v be_v very_o bad_a yet_o now_o resolve_v not_o to_o be_v very_o good_a if_o they_o can_v any_o other_o way_n escape_v it_o and_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o priest_n power_n be_v high_o advance_v and_o to_o submit_v to_o it_o will_v be_v high_o necessary_a to_o most_o man_n and_o safe_a to_o all_o but_o if_o this_o be_v not_o true_a then_o to_o hope_v it_o be_v a_o false_a confidence_n and_o of_o danger_n to_o the_o event_n of_o soul_n it_o be_v a_o nurse_n of_o carelessness_n and_o give_v boldness_n to_o imperfect_a
