of_o the_o abbot_n i_o confess_v i_o understand_v it_o not_o for_o have_v he_o have_v the_o apprehension_n that_o the_o torment_n of_o purgatory_n be_v so_o great_a as_o divinity_n tell_v we_o he_o

make_v they_o apt_a to_o follow_v their_o object_n where_o and_o when_o they_o shall_v not_o 9_o his_o three_o objection_n be_v how_o we_o know_v the_o soul_n will_v embrace_v this_o wilfulness_n since_o it_o be_v voluntary_a and_o therefore_o in_o her_o liberty_n not_o to_o accept_v of_o it_o or_o choose_v it_o this_o objection_n have_v two_o fault_n the_o one_o that_o it_o do_v not_o

forgive_v either_o in_o this_o world_n or_o in_o the_o next_o it_o must_v in_o this_o world_n signify_v guilt_n and_o in_o the_o other_o only_a pain_n for_o our_o saviour_n do_v not_o use_v to_o

the_o beginner_n of_o the_o schoolman_n 2._o in_o his_o second_o number_n he_o come_v to_o the_o objection_n before_o i_o begin_v they_o i_o must_v give_v you_o a_o short_a note_n of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n you_o be_v therefore_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o two_o famous_a proposition_n in_o antiquity_n which_o modern_a use_n have_v much_o relinquish_v the_o one_o be_v that_o in_o the_o primitive_a church_n the_o day_n of_o judgement_n be_v hot_o propose_v to_o christian_n as_o in_o which_o both_o reward_n and_o punishment_n be_v to_o be_v expect_v whereas_o now_o adays_o all_o the_o preach_v almost_o tend_v to_o the_o present_a go_v to_o heaven_n or_o to_o hell_n and_o this_o be_v so_o plain_o thathe_v himself_o render_v cause_n why_o it_o be_v so_o the_o second_o doctrine_n be_v that_o because_o some_o soul_n need_v purge_v and_o this_o be_v apprehend_v to_o depend_v of_o judgement_n also_o the_o day_n in_o which_o the_o reward_n or_o punishment_n be_v give_v be_v depute_v for_o the_o purge_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o need_v purgation_n this_o purge_n be_v by_o the_o saint_n general_o take_v to_o be_v do_v by_o fire_n &_o therefore_o of_o the_o last_o conflagration_n and_o other_o purge_n we_o hear_v not_o of_o until_o private_a revelation_n take_v authority_n to_o build_v divinity_n new_a principle_n since_o which_o time_n almost_o all_o the_o devotion_n of_o the_o latin_a church_n run_v after_o the_o delivery_n of_o soul_n from_o present_a pain_n of_o fire_n which_o the_o greek_a church_n profess_v in_o the_o council_n of_o florence_n not_o to_o have_v hear_v of_o but_o as_o in_o the_o former_a proposition_n the_o difference_n betwixt_o antiquity_n and_o the_o present_a use_n make_v not_o either_o reprehensible_a so_o in_o this_o late_a question_n there_o be_v no_o formal_a opposition_n but_o the_o essence_n purgatory_n be_v conserve_v in_o both_o to_o wit_n that_o some_o soul_n be_v in_o torment_n until_o they_o be_v deliver_v but_o antiquity_n make_v no_o mention_n of_o any_o delivery_n but_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n our_o late_a revelation_n make_v irregular_a delivery_n upon_o divers_a occasion_n now_o what_o i_o aim_n at_o in_o the_o citation_n of_o father_n be_v to_o show_v that_o the_o test●…_n bring_v out_o of_o they_o for_o purge_v of_o soul_n all_o or_o general_o speak_v of_o the_o day_n o●_n judgement_n so_o that_o as_o to_o the_o father_n the_o question_n be_v all_o one_o if_o whether_o there_o be_v a_o purgatory_n and_o whether_o the_o soul_n be_v release_v at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o all_o the_o authority_n which_o prove_v purgatory_n fire_n be_v such_o as_o to_o prove_v that_o fire_n to_o be_v at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n whence_o it_o follow_v that_o who_o will_v put_v a_o remission_n before_o must_v look_v for_o father_n who_o say_v that_o direct_o and_o not_o rely_v upon_o the_o common_a speech_n far_o the_o question_n be_v of_o that_o nature_n that_o it_o depend_v from_o solid_a revelation_n out_o of_o scripture_n or_o tradition_n and_o no_o less_o authority_n be_v able_a to_o make_v it_o a_o
