*Hear again you confound the Power of Binding and the office of Preaching, as you did before speaking of the power of Loosing. Whereto we say, as we said before of that other, that Binding and Shutting consisteth not in denouncing of God's vengeance, but in the exercise of the Key of Jurisdiction committed to the Church. The Ministers whereof Bind sinners, whom for just cause they Loose not, but know that they are not to be loosed. And to that Key pertaineth excommunication, and by the same it is exercised.
