to_o be_v except_v against_o rather_o i_o congratulate_v among_o many_o other_o learned_a passage_n in_o this_o chapter_n your_o true_o catholic_a explication_n of_o the_o church_n tenet_n that_o while_o they_o be_v in_o purgatory_n their_o sin_n remain_v and_o that_o their_o sin_n once_o perfect_o take_v away_o they_o be_v straight_o in_o heaven_n which_o be_v in_o my_o mind_n the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o bull_n and_o council_n though_o i_o can_v approve_v what_o you_o attribute_v to_o scotus_n that_o in_o hell_n venial_a sin_n after_o certain_a proportion_n of_o punishment_n cease_v to_o be_v which_o i_o think_v a_o misgrounded_a and_o exotic_a conceit_n note_n on_o the_o seven_o chapter_n in_o your_o seven_o chapter_n you_o give_v aristotle_n reason_n for_o the_o unchangeableness_n of_o a_o abstract_a soul_n a_o very_a true_a and_o good_a one_o but_o so_o dangerous_a if_o not_o perfect_o understand_v that_o it_o have_v precipitate_v divers_a peripatetic_n into_o the_o suspicion_n if_o not_o the_o reality_n of_o be_v atheist_n because_o a_o substance_n without_o a_o action_n be_v account_v among_o philosopher_n frustraneous_a and_o superfluous_a and_o incongruous_a to_o nature_n to_o avoid_v which_o inconvenience_n i_o must_v note_v that_o this_o be_v one_o difference_n betwixt_o bodily_a and_o spiritual_a substance_n that_o body_n be_v essential_o instrumental_a and_o therefore_o where_o they_o be_v the_o direct_o and_o primary_o intend_a part_n of_o nature_n they_o be_v frustraneous_a and_o idle_a if_o they_o have_v not_o motion_n but_o spiritual_a substance_n especial_o separate_v soul_n be_v certain_a being_n which_o be_v the_o end_n of_o body_n and_o of_o all_o change_n which_o end_n succeed_v to_o change_n as_o stand_v still_o and_o quiet_a do_v to_o local_a motion_n as_o be_v at_o home_n to_o the_o journey_n by_o which_o we_o come_v thither_o as_o health_n to_o cure_v and_o manhood_n to_o growth_n therefore_o soul_n be_v of_o themselves_o uncapable_a of_o motion_n as_o be_v now_o grow_v above_o materiality_n which_o be_v the_o possibility_n to_o change_v and_o motion_n and_o so_o by_o the_o negation_n of_o materiality_n in_o peripatetic_a philosophy_n be_v demonstrate_v the_o unchangeableness_n of_o soul_n and_o who_o ever_o suppose_v a_o change_n in_o spirit_n must_v suppose_v they_o also_o to_o have_v a_o potentiality_n to_o somewhat_o which_o be_v to_o be_v attain_v by_o motion_n as_o indeed_o those_o divine_n do_v who_o put_v change_n in_o they_o this_o be_v aristotle_n way_n throughout_o his_o philosophy_n which_o those_o peripatetic_n understand_v not_o who_o draw_v the_o mortality_n of_o the_o soul_n out_o of_o the_o deficiency_n of_o fancy_n in_o she_o i_o be_o glad_a in_o the_o mean_a while_n to_o meet_v a_o adversary_n so_o learned_a as_o to_o penetrate_v the_o truth_n of_o aristotle_n and_o s._n thomas_n his_o tenet_n and_o so_o ingenuous_a as_o to_o attest_v those_o great_a light_n be_v on_o my_o side_n by_o which_o it_o appear_v i_o be_o not_o leave_v singular_a in_o my_o opinion_n a_o favour_n the_o vindicator_n will_v not_o aford_v i_o but_o make_v it_o injurious_a in_o i_o to_o pretend_v or_o assert_v i_o build_v on_o saint_n thomas_n his_o principle_n it_o be_v now_o time_n to_o retire_v from_o this_o digression_n to_o the_o imputation_n you_o lay_v upon_o the_o translator_n out_o of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n where_o it_o forbid_v difficult_a point_n to_o be_v preach_v to_o the_o vulgar_a which_o you_o extend_v to_o the_o put_v they_o into_o

language_n in_o fine_a the_o practice_n of_o other_o nation_n testify_v that_o the_o council_n prohibition_n reach_v not_o so_o far_o if_o you_o think_v it_o do_v i_o wonder_v you_o press_v it_o not_o

to_o proceed_v very_o temperate_o in_o apply_v the_o council_n of_o trent_n against_o that_o worthy_a person_n that_o translate_v the_o book_n who_o conclusion_n you_o dislike_v but_o confute_v not_o

if_o you_o please_v to_o mark_v say_v the_o just_a shall_v be_v secure_a that_o be_v out_o of_o all_o fear_n consider_v also_o the_o triumph_n the_o book_n of_o wisdom_n describe_v then_o that_o the_o

of_o their_o salvation_n as_o for_o saint_n hierom_n he_o be_v yet_o in_o the_o state_n of_o uncertainty_n and_o therefore_o no_o wonder_n if_o he_o have_v a_o deep_a apprehension_n of_o it_o be_v perpetual_o in_o thought_n of_o his_o sin_n but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o way_n which_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n lead_v saint_n martin_n saint_n ambrose_n and_o a_o late_a saint_n who_o profess_v he_o rather_o desire_v to_o live_v in_o uncertainty_n of_o his_o salvation_n so_o to_o gain_v soul_n then_o to_o die_v immediate_o with_o security_n of_o go_v to_o heaven_n nor_o the_o mind_n of_o saint_n paul_n who_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v and_o account_v death_n a_o gain_n so_o you_o see_v one_o saint_n apprehension_n be_v not_o to_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o the_o church_n we_o have_v our_o saviour_n warrant_n and_o exhortation_n even_o to_o they_o who_o shall_v see_v the_o disorder_n of_o the_o heaven_n in_o way_n to_o judgement_n to_o lift_v up_o their_o head_n with_o joy_n that_o their_o redemption_n be_v near_o and_o saint_n paul_n call_v the_o saint_n those_o who_o love_v christ_n come_v and_o our_o only_a master_n teach_v we_o to_o say_v thy_o kingdom_n come_v

to_o pray_v that_o such_o man_n may_v quick_o be_v raise_v which_o be_v more_o regardful_a in_o their_o way_n who_o think_v that_o even_o in_o aeviternity_n the_o addition_n of_o time_n be_v of_o

that_o you_o handle_v it_o like_o a_o grave_n and_o solid_a divine_a and_o not_o with_o whimsy_n like_o my_o vindicative_a answerer_n unworthy_a to_o be_v regard_v and_o able_a to_o turn_v a_o man_n

be_v the_o substance_n of_o christian_a life_n recommend_v to_o we_o to_o be_v constant_a and_o perpetual_a in_o all_o our_o action_n and_o let_v i_o add_v what_o you_o will_v not_o deny_v in_o all_o

sicut_fw-la qui_fw-la spem_fw-la non_fw-la habent_fw-la that_o be_v inconsolable_o put_v this_o lady_n with_o all_o her_o passion_n into_o a_o conceit_n that_o her_o loss_n be_v recoverable_a that_o by_o her_o prayer_n to_o god_n she_o shall_v eternal_o enjoy_v the_o miss_a comfort_n in_o a_o plenitude_n of_o bliss_n and_o happiness_n with_o what_o earnestness_n of_o affection_n with_o what_o a_o

this_o tell_v i_o there_o be_v no_o fruit_n of_o prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a and_o this_o dead_a in_o particular_a since_o it_o have_v so_o deep_a a_o stroke_n upon_o the_o live_a friend_n but_o your_o eye_n lie_v only_o upon_o the_o fruit_n of_o impetration_n i_o pray_v therefore_o not_o to_o repeat_v again_o how_o punctual_o all_o our_o expectation_n of_o successive_a relief_n for_o those_o soul_n by_o our_o prayer_n be_v verify_v in_o their_o simultaneous_a enjoyment_n of_o it_o tell_v i_o be_v it_o to_o be_v understand_v that_o a_o cause_n can_v make_v a_o thing_n be_v soon_o and_o not_o make_v it_o be_v it_o be_v plain_a then_o if_o impetration_n be_v a_o cause_v or_o make_v the_o eternal_a reward_n come_v soon_o it_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o eternal_a reward_n itself_o to_o come_v i_o can_v put_v this_o more_o home_n to_o you_o who_o make_v no_o doubt_n but_o god_n so_o order_v beatitude_n to_o be_v the_o end_n of_o our_o work_n that_o withal_o he_o order_v our_o

will_n by_o which_o god_n have_v ordain_v it_o for_o you_o understand_v that_o in_o god_n resolution_n there_o be_v no_o if_n and_o and_n as_o in_o we_o but_o that_o with_o one_o intuitive_a and_o strong_a act_n he_o order_v the_o mean_n for_o the_o end_n and_o the_o end_n by_o the_o mean_n and_o that_o all_o priority_n and_o posteriority_n be_v pure_o in_o the_o effect_n none_o in_o his_o

or_o rather_o that_o he_o be_v essential_o the_o very_a determination_n of_o what_o he_o list_v but_o i_o exceed_v the_o bound_n of_o what_o you_o think_v fit_a for_o a_o discourse_n to_o be_v vulgar_o communicate_v and_o therefore_o i_o return_v to_o my_o theme_n and_o conclude_v if_o impetration_n of_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n be_v such_o a_o cause_n of_o it_o and_o of_o all_o that_o pass_v in_o it_o true_a divinity_n must_v confess_v if_o this_o impetration_n be_v not_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n shall_v not_o be_v nor_o any_o effect_n in_o it_o how_o can_v any_o divine_a who_o understand_v the_o exactness_n of_o god_n work_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a by_o which_o its_o come_n be_v procure_v procure_v the_o very_a happiness_n itself_o of_o the_o

consist_v in_o this_o that_o those_o who_o be_v not_o divine_n do_v not_o understand_v the_o connexion_n of_o god_n work_n and_o how_o it_o be_v true_a that_o if_o any_o one_o circumstance_n ordain_v by_o god_n to_o bring_v about_o such_o a_o effect_n shall_v fail_v the_o effect_n itself_o will_v have_v no_o success_n by_o which_o the_o three_o consideration_n be_v make_v manifest_a that_o the_o party_n for_o who_o the_o prayer_n be_v make_v obtain_v by_o virtue_n of_o such_o prayer_n not_o only_o his_o own_o glory_n and_o every_o accidental_a part_n of_o bliss_n allot_v to_o he_o but_o

ever_o it_o be_v to_o stamp_v a_o full_a conceit_n of_o this_o into_o the_o head_n of_o the_o common_a sort_n your_o second_o argument_n press_v that_o the_o come_n of_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n
