As concerning satisfaction, by their Opera indebita, Undue works, that is: by such works as they need not to do, but of their own voluntariness and wilfulness: (wilfulness in deed) who seeth not monstrous abomination, blasphemy, and even open fighting against God? For if satisfaction can be done by man, then Christ died in vain, for him that so satisfieth, and so reigneth he in vain; soy s he a Bishop and a Priest in vain. Gods law requireth love to God with all our heart,1 soul, power, might and strength: to ⟨p. 11⟩that there is nothing can be done to Godward,2 which is not contained in this Commandment: nothing ran be done, over and above this. Again, Christ requireth to man ward, That we should love one another, 3as he loved us. And think you, Beloved, that we can do any thing to our Neighbour ward, which is not herein comprised?
