The Pope (say they) absolveth or loseth a pena et a culpa / that is from the fault or trespass and from the pain due unto the treasp•e.1 God if a man repent forgiveth the offence only / and not the pain also / say they / save turneth the everlasting pain unto a temporal pain. And appointeth seven years in purgatory for every deadly sin 2But the Pope for money for giveth both / and hath more power then God and is more merciful then God. This do I / saith the Pope of my full power and of the treasure of the church / of deservings of martyrs / confessors and ⟨image 104⟩merits of Christ.
