Neither doth it follow of Our Doctrine, that either Children, or Lay ⟨p. 137⟩men do, 1or may forgive sins. And yet Gods Word may be mighty, be the pronouncer of it never so simple. S. Augustine saithe, Cùm Christus Petro dicerer, 2Tibi dabo Claves Regni Coelorum, Universam significabat Ecclesiam: When Christ said unto Peter, Unto thee I will give the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, he signified thereby the whole Church. And again, Quaecunque ligaveris super Terram, erunt ligara in Coelo. 3Coepisti habere Fratrem tuum, tanquam Publicanum: Ligas illum in Terra. Cùm autem correxeris, & concordaveris cum Fratre tuo, soluisti illum in terra. Cùm solueris in terra, solutus erit in Coelo: What so ever things thou shalt Bind in Earth, they shall be Bound in Heaven. Thou (being a Layman) hast begun to have thy Brother as a Publican: Thou Bindest him in Earth. But when thou hast corrected him and hast agreed with thy Brother, thou hast Loosed him in Earth. And when thou haste Loosed him in Earth, he shall be Loosed in Heaven.

And againe, Quaecunque ligaueris super Terram, erunt ligara in Coelo. 3Coepisti habere Fratrem tuum, tanquam Publicanum: Ligas illum in Terra. Cùm autem correxeris, & concordaueris cum Fratre tuo, soluisti illum in terra. Cùm solueris in terra, solutus erit in Coelo: What so euer thinges thou shalt Binde in Earthe, they shalbe Bounde in Heauen. Thou (beinge a Lateman) hast begonne to haue thy Brother as a Publicane: Thou Bindest him in Earthe. But when thou hast corrected him and hast agreed with thy Brother, thou hast Loosed him in Earthe. And when thou haste Loosed him in Earthe, he shalbe Loosed in Heauen.
