And to lay more weight to S. Ambroses words, S. Augustine saith in like sense, Officium Baptizandi Dominus concessit multis: Potestatem verò, & Authoritatem in Baptismo remittendi peccata sibi Soli reseruavit: Our Lord hath granted the office of Baptizing unto many: but the Power, and Authority in Baptism to forgive Sins, he hath reserved Only to him self.1 So saith S. Ambrose, Nostrum est onera remittere: Illius est resuscitare: Illius est educere de Sepulchro: It is our part, to remove the stone from the grave (by Preaching, by Counsel, and by Exhortation) But it is the Lords work to raise up the dead: It is the Lords work, to bring him from the pit.2 Likewise again he saithe, Neque Legatus, neque nuntius, sed ipse Dominus saluum fecit populum suum. Solus remanet: quia non potest hoc cuiquam hominum cum Christo esse commune, ut peccata condonet. Solius hoc munus est Christi, qui tulit peccata mundi. It is not the Ambassador: It is not the Messenger, but the Lord him self, that hath saved his people. The Lord remaineth alone. For no man can be partner with God in forgiving of Sins. This is Christs Only office, that hath taken away the sins of the World.

Solus remanet: quia non potest hoc cuiquam hominum cum Christo esse commune, vt peccata condonet. Solius hoc munus est Christi, qui tulit peccata mundi. It is not the Embassadoure: It is not the Messenger, but the Lorde him selfe, that hath saued his people. The Lorde remaineth alone. For noman can be partener vvith God in foregeeuinge of Sinnes. This is Christes Onely office, that hath taken awaie the sinnes of the World.
