they_o for_o the_o only_a use_n of_o they_o be_v to_o excuse_v man_n from_o the_o necessity_n of_o be_v good_a but_o this_o be_v most_o evident_a in_o their_o doctrine_n about_o the_o sacrament_n of_o penance_n that_o bare_a contrition_n with_o the_o absolution_n of_o the_o priest_n put_v a_o man_n into_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n i_o do_v not_o lay_v it_o upon_o attrition_n which_o be_v somewhat_o less_o than_o contrition_n though_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n if_o i_o can_v understand_v plain_a word_n make_v that_o sufficient_a with_o the_o absolution_n of_o the_o priest_n but_o because_o some_o man_n will_v unreasonable_o wrangle_v about_o this_o i_o shall_v insist_v only_o on_o what_o be_v acknowledge_v by_o themselves_o that_o contrition_n which_o be_v only_o a_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n if_o we_o confess_v our_o sin_n to_o a_o priest_n and_o receive_v absolution_n put_v we_o into_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n now_o contrition_n or_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n be_v not_o a_o holy_a life_n and_o therefore_o this_o doctrine_n overthrow_v the_o necessity_n of_o a_o holy_a life_n because_o man_n may_v be_v save_v by_o the_o sacrament_n of_o penance_n without_o it_o and_o then_o i_o know_v no_o necessity_n there_o be_v of_o mortify_v their_o lust_n for_o if_o they_o sin_v again_o it_o be_v only_o repeat_v the_o same_o remedy_n confess_v their_o sin_n and_o be_v sorry_a for_o they_o and_o receive_v absolution_n and_o they_o be_v restore_v to_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o to_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n again_o nay_o some_o of_o their_o casuist_n tell_v we_o that_o god_n have_v not_o command_v man_n to_o repent_v but_o only_o at_o the_o time_n of_o death_n and_o then_o contrition_n with_o absolution_n will_v secure_v their_o salvation_n after_o a_o whole_a life_n spend_v in_o wickedness_n without_o any_o other_o good_a action_n but_o only_a sorrow_n for_o sin_n and_o if_o man_n be_v not_o bind_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n so_o much_o as_o to_o be_v contrite_a for_o their_o sin_n till_o they_o find_v themselves_o die_v and_o uncapable_a of_o do_v any_o good_a all_o man_n must_v grant_v that_o a_o holy_a life_n be_v not_o necessary_a to_o

motive_n to_o obedience_n and_o a_o holy_a life_n but_o these_o can_v only_o work_v upon_o ingenuous_a mind_n who_o have_v already_o in_o some_o measure_n conquer_v the_o love_n of_o sin_n for_o where_o the_o love_n of_o sin_n prevail_v it_o be_v too_o powerful_a for_o the_o love_n of_o god_n but_o the_o holiness_n and_o purity_n and_o inflexible_a justice_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n be_v a_o very_a good_a argument_n because_o it_o enforce_v the_o necessity_n of_o a_o holy_a life_n for_o a_o holy_a god_n can_v be_v reconcile_v to_o wicked_a man_n will_v not_o forgive_v our_o sin_n

their_o life_n but_o the_o force_n of_o this_o argument_n be_v lose_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n by_o the_o judicial_a absolution_n of_o the_o priest_n for_o they_o see_v daily_o the_o priest_n do_v absolve_v they_o without_o forsake_v their_o sin_n and_o god_n must_v confirm_v the_o sentence_n of_o his_o minister_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v absolve_v and_o need_v not_o fear_n that_o god_n will_v not_o absolve_v they_o when_o the_o priest_n have_v which_o must_v either_o destroy_v all_o sense_n of_o god_n essential_a holiness_n and_o purity_n and_o persuade_v they_o that_o god_n can_v be_v reconcile_v to_o sinner_n while_o they_o continue_v in_o their_o sin_n or_o else_o they_o must_v believe_v that_o god_n have_v give_v power_n to_o his_o priest_n to_o absolve_v those_o who_o he_o can_v not_o have_v absolve_v himself_o to_o be_v sure_a it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o tell_v man_n that_o god_n will_v not_o forgive_v sinner_n while_o they_o continue_v in_o their_o sin_n if_o they_o believe_v the_o judicial_a authority_n of_o the_o priest_n to_o forgive_v sin_n for_o they_o every_o day_n absolve_v man_n who_o do_v not_o forsake_v their_o sin_n and_o if_o their_o absolution_n be_v good_a god_n must_v forgive_v they_o too_o and_o thus_o the_o holiness_n and_o inflexible_a justice_n of_o god_n lose_v its_o force_n upon_o good_a catholic_n to_o reform_v their_o life_n and_o therefore_o be_v there_o no_o other_o argument_n against_o it_o it_o be_v not_o likely_a that_o the_o judicial_a absolution_n of_o the_o priest_n as_o it_o be_v teach_v and_o practise_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n shall_v be_v a_o gospel-doctrine_n 3._o the_o death_n and_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n be_v another_o gospel-motive_n to_o holiness_n of_o life_n not_o only_o because_o

the_o gospel_n which_o oblige_v all_o man_n who_o hope_v to_o be_v save_v by_o christ_n to_o the_o practice_n of_o a_o universal_a righteousness_n this_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n seem_v very_o
