Likewise Theophylacte saith, 1Situ offensus habes eum, qui te affecit iniuria, sicut Publicanum, & Gentilem, erit ille & in Coelo talis: Si autem solueris eum, hoc est, Si illi condonaveris, erit illi & in Coelo condonatum. Non enim solùm, quae soluunt Sacerdotes, sunt soluta: sed quaecunque & nos iniutia affecti vel ligamus, vel soluimus, & ipsa erunt ligata, vel soluta: If thou being offended, have him, that hath done thee wrong, as a Publican, and as an Heathen, such shall he be also in Heaven. But if thou Loose him, that is to say, if thou pardon him, he shall be pardoned also in Heaven. For not only the things, that Priests Loose, are Loosed: but also what so ever we, (being Laymen) having taken wrong, do Bind, or Loose, the same things shall also be Bound, or Loosed.
Likewise Theophylacte saithe, 1Si tu offensus habes eum, qui te affecit iniuria, sicut Publicanum, & Gentilem, erit ille & in Coelo talis: Si autem solueris eum, hoc est, Si illi condonaueris, erit illi & in Coelo condonatum. Non enim solùm, quae soluunt Sacerdotes, sunt soluta: sed quaecunque & nos iniutia affecti vel ligamus, vel soluimus, & ipsa erunt ligata, vel soluta: If thou beinge offended, haue him, that hathe donne thee wronge, as a Publicane, and as an Heathen, sutche shal he be also in Heauen. But if thou Loose him, that is to saie, if thou pardonne him, he shalbe pardonned also in Heauen. For not onely the thinges, that Priestes Loose, are Loosed: but also what so euer wee, (being Laimonne) hauinge taken wronge, doo Binde, or Loose, the same thinges shal also be Bounde, or Loosed.

This Doctrine may not seem so strange to M. Harding: Onlesse he be a stranger amongst his own. For by the Order of his own Church of Rome, an Old wife, or a Young girl may Minister the Sacrament of Baptism. And, I trow, he will not say, They may Minister Baptism without Remission of Sins.
