text: In the Church of Rome the Presbyter is believed to have a supernatural power in consecrating the elements of bread and wine in the Lord's Supper, of transforming them into the natural body and blood of Christ; and all the sins of a whole life are supposed to be cancelled, when the Priest, acting on his own judgment of the reality of the penitent's attrition, declares him to be absolved; and it is easy to understand how in their private examinations the office of the Priest may be magnified to the imagination of the Deacon, who may be told that he is soon to be empowered to create his Creator, and to release the souls of the dying from the penalties of sin.
