Prop. VIII. The essential parts of Penance are three- Contrition, Confession, and Satisfaction - without which, in the case of grievous sin—unless when the two last, Confession and Satisfaction, from unavoidable obstacles, cannot be complied with — we believe, that the sinner cannot obtain forgiveness from God . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |

PROP. IX. Though no creature can make condign satisfaction, either for the guilt of sin, or for the pain eternal due to it, —this satisfaction being proper to Christ our Saviour only ---yet penitent sinners, as members of Christ , may, in some measure, satisfy by prayer, fasting, alms-deeds, and other works of piety, for the temporal pain, which, in the order of the divine justice, sometimes remains due, after the guilt of sin and pain eternal have been remitted. Such penitential works, notwithstanding, are no otherwise satisfactory, than as joined and applied to that satisfaction, which Jesus made upon the Cross, in virtue of which alone all our good works find a grateful acceptance in the sight of God . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |

PROP. X. The guilt of sin, or pain eternal due to it, is not remitted by that dispensation of mercy, which in the Catholic Church is called an Indulgence ; but such temporalpunishment only, as in the order of divine justice may remain due after the guilt has been remitted . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |

Prop. XI . Catholics hold there is a purgatory, that is to say, a place or state, where souls departing this life, with remission of their sins, as to the guilt or eternal pain, but yet liable to some temporal punishment ( of which we have just spoken ) still remaining due ; or not perfectly freed from the blemish of some defects which we call venial sins, are purged before their admittance into heaven, where nothing that is defiled can enter . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
