Object. 5. It is said, If any mans work burn, he shall lose; but he shall be safe himself, nevertheless, yet as it were by fire: Therefore say they, some sins cast men into fire, that is, into some punishment, but not eternal. This also we grant, not in respect of the nature of sin, but in respect of pardon, which befalleth to those who hold the foundation, which is Christ: For, to build on the foundation wood and stubble (that is, to patch the Word of God with unnecessary questions, humane opinions and traditions, which often are occasions of Schisms in the Church, and often of Idolatry and errors) it is not so light a sin as they deem it who doit, but deserveth eternal malediction, except remission be made by the Son of God, as it is declared in the Revelation, Chap. 22.
Object. 5. It is said, If any mans work burne, he shall lose; but he shall be safe himselfe, neverthelesse, yet as it were by fire: Therefore say they, some sins cast men into fire, that is, into some punishment, but not eternall. This also we grant, not in respect of the nature of sin, but in respect of pardon, which befalleth to those who hold the foundation, which is Christ: For, to build on the foundation wood and stubble (that is, to patch the Word of God with unnecessary questions, humane opinions and traditions, which often are occasions of Schismes in the Church, and often of Idolatry and errors) it is not so light a sin as they deem it who doit, but deserveth eternall malediction, except remission be made by the Son of God, as it is declared in the Revelation, Chap. 22.
Object. 6. It is said, A high Priest taken from among men is bound to offer for sins, 1as well for his own part, as for the peoples. Ans. This place showeth, that the sins of the Priest are not Venial by themselves, or of their own nature, but for the sacrifice of Christ, which was signified by the typical sacrifices: and therefore it quite and clean overthroweth the opinion of our adversaries. For, if all sins even of a righteous Priest are in the sight of God so great, that they cannot be purged, but by the death of the Son of God; it necessarily followeth, that they of their own nature deserved everlasting death.
