pena culpa. This
Latin term meaning absolution "from punishment and guilt" was
coined by Peter Lombard and adopted by Aquinas (Summa I, Q. 48, Art. 5). God discharges the guilt in view of
the penitent's contrition and faith; the priest remits the punishment
of eternal damnation upon the penitent's confession and
satisfaction. Tyndale asserts that Christ's
satisfaction for sin cancels out these legalistic measures. Cf. 154/24,
205/4; Obedience N7, V8; 1 John A2V, A3v, B6. (JW)

The turkes beinge in numbre. v. tymes mo then we
knowlege one God and beleue many thynges of God moued only by
the auctoryte of theyr elders and presume that God wyll not let
so greate a multitude erre so longe tyme. And yet they haue
erred and bene faythlesse
thys .viij. hundred yeres. And the Iewes beleue
thys daye / as moch
as the carnall sorte of them euer beleued / moued
also by the auctoryte
of theyr elders only / and thynke that yt ys
impossyble for them to erre / beynge Abrahams seed and the
chyldern of them to whom the promysses of all that we beleue
were made. And yet they haue
erred and bene faythlesse thys .xv. hundred yeres.
And we of lyke
blyndnesse beleue only by the auctoryte of our elders
and of lyke pryde thynke that we can not erre / beynge soch a
multytude. And yet we se how God in the olde testament did lett
the greate multitude erre / reseruynge al waye a litle flocke
to call the other backe agayne
and to testifie vnto them the right waye.

true waye. Matt. 24.24, which is also paraphrased in
101/15–17. Matt. 24.24 is cited by a Lollard text against the papacy,
cf. Hudson 126/150–53. Luther cited or referred to Matt. 24.24 four
times in his treatment of Dan. 8, taking the Gospel text as prophetic of
the papacy and helpful in elucidating Dan. 8.25, Et
prosperatur dolus in manu eius. This is the papal deception
(dolus) by which otherwise good Christians, like
Bernard, Dominic, Francis and Bonaventure, were deceived into
acknowledging papal supremacy, cf. Responsio to Ambrosius Catharinus, 1521 (WA 7.744; not in LW).
But Tyndale's interpretation develops instead an aspect of the condition
of the remnant of tempted and persecuted elect persons who rely only on
canonical Scripture. (JW)
