which Christ spoke to his disciples when he commanded them
to preach the Gospel to every creature, and to bid them
receive the Holy Ghost, and said that to whomsoever they
forgave their sins they should be forgiven, and to whomsoever
they did not forgive their sins, they should not be forgiven ?
D. It is in this way that I understand them, viz. that Christ
commanded his disciples and their successors to urge his
mercy and his love on every man, and to preach to them in
his name that to as many as repented, their sins were forgiven.
And that to such as refused to repent, their sins would continue
without forgiveness, and that God would punish them.
M. What place then has the priest or the minister in the forgiveness
of sin.
