We Confound not these Keys, M. Harding, but speak plainly, and distinctly of either other. We say, that the Power, as well of Loosing, as also of Binding standeth in Gods Word: and the exercise, or execution of the same standeth either in Preaching, or else in Sentence of Correction, and Ecclesiastical Discipline.

Of the later hereof, there is no question: of the former, M. Harding pronounceth precisely, although, as it appeareth, not most advisedly: Binding, saith he, and Shutting standeth not in denouncing of God's Vengeance.
