Now, zndulgence {we know) belongeth unto fin and righteoujnejfe, if it be true, necdeth none. Therefore he telleth us i: is Perinde acfijujli; it is not iu.fli, as they defend it. So that, he confelfeth; their righteoufndfe needeth an indulgence: and-it is but Perinde acfi. and not that neither in ju.flice,but acceptation,which ismeerematteroffa~our and not of judicial! proceeding.
