I beseech you, consider, how advisedly, and reverently ye use God's Holy Word.¹ Thus you say, Nathan said unto David, Our Lord hath put away thy sin: thou shalt not die: Christ saith, The Sin against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven, neither in this World, nor in the World to come: Or, as S. Mark saithe, Non habe• remissionem in Aeternum:² Sed reus erit Aeterni delicti: He hath not remission for Ever: but shall be guilty of Everlasting Sin. S. Paul saith, Bear ye one an others burden. Christ saith to Peter, To thee will I give the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, &c. S. Paul said of him, ye had lived in shameful incest with his Fathers wife, ³Let such a one be given over to Satan. These be your Scriptures: hereof ye full discreetly, and learnedly Conclude thus: Ergo, The Pope hath a warrant sufficient to grant his Pardons, and that, as well to the dead, as to the quick.
