M. Harding saith, The Priest can be no Judge without particular knowledge of every Sin: Nor can he know without hearing: Nor can he hear without Confession. For answer hereto, Chrysostom saith, as he is before alleged: Medicinae locus hic est, 1non Judicij: Non Poenas, sed Peccatorum Remissionem tribuens: Deo Soli die Peccatum tuum: Here is a place of Medicine, and not of Judgement: rendering not punishment, but Remission of Sins.
