To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

XXVI. Of Augsburg Confession, being Topic V. Of the Abuses Corrected, theconfession says: "Confession is _not commanded in Scripture_, but hasbeen instituted _by the church_. " [Note 10] 3. The rite of _private absolution_, on which the Reformers lay muchstress, is in like manner destitute of scriptural authority, and mostinjurious to the interests of spiritual religion. The _omniscient_Saviour could well say to the sick of the palsy, "Son, be of good cheer, thy sins be forgiven thee, " Matt. I...x. 2; for he knew the heart of man.
For the same reason he could say to Mary Magdalene, "Thy sins areforgiven. " Luke vii. 48.
But, even the inspired apostles never in a single instance, eitherundertook to forgive sins themselves, or to announce the pardon of sinto any _individual personally_. It is therefore a solemn thing forministers, unguided by inspiration, to assume greater power. Toproclaim publicly and privately the willingness of God to pardon theimpenitent, is an important and delighful [sic] part of the minister'sduty; but for uninspired men to institute a special rite in the church, for the express purpose of announcing _pardon to individuals_, even whendone conditionally, as the reformers maintained it always should be, isinevitably calculated to lead, especially the less intelligent, tobelieve their sins forgiven, at least in part, because the ministersannounce the fact, and because they have professed penitence to him.
