What soever thou bindest on earth, it shall be bound in heaven, & what soever thou lousest on earth it shall be loosed in heaven. Of this text maketh the Pope what he will, and expoundeth it contrary to all the Scripture, contrary to 1Christs practising, and the Apostles, and all the Prophets. Now the scripture giveth record to himself and ever expoundeth it self by an other open text. If the Pope then can not bring for his exposition the practising of Christ or of the Apostles and prophets or an open text, then is his exposition false ⟨p. 174⟩doctrine. Christ expoundeth him self. Math. xviij. saying: If y• brother sin against the rebuke him betwixt him & thee alone. If he hear thee thou hast won thy brother: but if he hear thee not, then take with thee one or two and & so forth as it standeth in the text. He concludeth saying to them all, whatsoever ye bind in earth it shall be bound in heaven, and what soever ye louse on earth it shall be loosed in heaven. Where binding is but to rebuke them that sin and loosing to forgive them that repent. And John. xx. Whose sins ye forgive they are forgiven and whose sins ye hold they are holden. And Paul. i. Cor. v. bindeth, and ij. Cor. ij. louseth after the same manner.

Of this text maketh the Pope what he will, and expoundeth it contrary to all the Scripture, contrary to 1Christes practising, and the Apostles, and all the Prophetes. Now the scripture geueth record to himselfe and euer expoundeth it selfe by an other open text. If the Pope thē can not bryng for his exposition the practisyng of Christ or of the Apostles and prophetes or an open text, then is his exposition false ⟨p. 174⟩doctrine. Christ expoundeth him selfe. Math. xviij. saying: If y• brother sinne agaynst the rebuke him betwixt him & thee alone. If he heare thee thou hast wonne thy brother: but if he heare thee not, thē take with thee one or two and & so forth as it standeth in the text. He concludeth saying to them all, whatsoeuer ye bynde in earth it shalbe bound in heauen, and what soeuer ye louse on earth it shalbe loused in heauē. Where byndyng is but to rebuke them that sinne and lousing to forgeue them that repent. And
