Out of this doctrine of Satisfaction, do flow indulgences or pardons, whereby they feign and imagine that they dispense the merits of Christ, and martyrdom to them which want their own proper power to make satisfaction.
OVt of this doctrine of Satisfaction, doe flow indulgences or pardons, whereby they faine and imagine that they dispence the merits of Christ, and martyrdome to them which want their own proper power to make satisfaction.
2 It is showed by many testimonies ⟨image 135⟩of Scriptures, what pardons are by their own doctrine, that is, they are nothing else in very deed, than an unmeet profaning of Christs blood: for how could the blood of Christ be more filthily profaned, than when it is denied to suffice the remission of sins, to reconciliation and satisfaction, unless the want thereof, as being withered and wasted, should be otherwise supplied and profited.1 This is Satan's mockery to lead away the Christian people from the grace of God, from the life that is Christ, and to turn them from the true way of salvation.
