to_o purge_v sin_n alyttlo_n after_o he_o say_v we_o confess_v that_o in_o this_o mortal_a life_n there_o be_v a_o certain_a purgatory_n pain_n it_o seem_v that_o he_o somewhat_o agree_v that_o the_o

he_o say_v plain_o that_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o faithful_a do_v 67._o rest_n after_o the_o death_n of_o the_o body_n but_o what_o will_v thou_o more_o cléere_o than_o when_o he_o say_v some_o do_v believe_v that_o those_o also_o which_o have_v not_o abandon_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n and_o which_o have_v be_v baptize_v in_o his_o church_n and_o have_v not_o belie_v cut_v off_o from_o the_o

through_o do_v of_o alm_n deed_n but_o shall_v persevere_v and_o continue_v in_o they_o continual_o until_o the_o last_o day_n of_o their_o life_n shall_v be_v save_v through_o the_o fire_n although_o that_o according_a to_o the_o greatness_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o misdeed_n that_o fire_n shall_v be_v eternal_a diuturnal_a but_o not_o eternal_a but_o i_o think_v that_o those_o that_o do_v believe_v this_o and_o yet_o nevertheless_o be_v catholic_n be_v deceive_v through_o man_n benevolence_n for_o 5_o the_o holy_a scripture_n if_o one_o do_v look_n and_o search_v in_o it_o answer_v a_o

be_v but_o two_o way_n to_o wit_n one_o of_o damnation_n and_o only_o a_o other_o of_o salvation_n but_o mark_v well_o his_o own_o word_n the_o faith_n of_o the_o catholic_n through_o the_o divine_a authority_n do_v first_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n second_o that_o there_o be_v a_o hell_n in_o the_o which_o every_o apostate_n and_o stranger_n to_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n be_v punish_v we_o be_v altogether_o ignorant_a of_o the_o third_o but_o we_o do_v not_o find_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o there_o be_v any_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o he_o speak_v very_o clear_o and_o that_o those_o authority_n ought_v to_o suffice_v thou_o against_o all_o that_o that_o thou_o can_v allege_v of_o the_o ancient_a doctor_n in_o the_o favour_n of_o

the_o thing_n restore_v the_o resurrection_n of_o all_o man_n through_o perfect_a reward_n i_o do_v not_o praise_v that_o which_o tertulian_n have_v determine_v of_o the_o place_n without_o witness_n of_o the_o scripture_n but_o i_o thing_n think_v it_o a_o very_a dangerous_a thing_n to_o define_v of_o such_o thing_n without_o witness_n of_o the_o same_o and_o i_o have_v rather_o staio_v myself_o upon_o the_o sentence_n of_o saint_n augustine_n which_o say_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v very_o good_a that_o a_o uncertain_a thing_n of_o which_o not_o only_o the_o scripture_n do_v make_v no_o

now_o eusebius_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n of_o it_o theophilus_n sith_o that_o it_o be_v so_o tell_v i_o what_o soul_n go_v thither_o for_o either_o it_o must_v be_v altogether_o empty_a and_o void_a

thou_o will_v say_v that_o the_o purgatory_n be_v for_o the_o infidel_n and_o reprobate_a eusebius_n one_o may_v so_o judge_v by_o that_o which_o be_v write_v 19_o of_o the_o wicked_a rich_a man._n theophilus_n sith_o then_o that_o hell_n be_v for_o the_o reprobate_n it_o follow_v then_o necessary_o that_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o elect_a shall_v go_v into_o purgatory_n if_o it_o he_o so_o to_o what_o end_n serve_v the_o limb_n for_o you_o limb_n do_v say_v that_o all_o the_o patriarch_n prophet_n and_o true_a faithful_a which_o be_v depart_v out_o of_o this_o world_n before_o the_o death_n

with_o corporal_a pain_n with_o the_o reprobate_n the_o which_o notwithwanding_n he_o condemn_v not_o with_o they_o to_o eternal_a damnation_n he_o punish_v they_o corporal_o as_o he_o chastise_v

not_o abide_v and_o continue_v hard_o heart_v &_o have_v not_o sin_v against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o lord_n mittigate_v their_o pain_n and_o be_v content_v to_o chastise_v and_o correct_v they_o

who_o for_o the_o despise_v of_o the_o supper_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v chastise_v of_o god_n with_o disease_n and_o death_n such_o may_v be_v the_o kindred_n of_o loth._n for_o it_o be_v not_o

who_o know_v the_o heart_n but_o i_o only_o speak_v this_o to_o the_o end_n we_o doée_v not_o judge_v rash_o of_o his_o secret_n and_o judgement_n &_o except_o we_o have_v express_v revelation_n but_o

the_o pain_n there_o be_v infinite_a theophilus_n thou_o must_v understand_v that_o there_o be_v not_o so_o little_a a_o pain_n which_o be_v not_o infinite_a and_o importable_a unto_o he_o which_o be_v forsake_v of_o god_n but_o yet_o nevertheless_o god_n may_v and_o can_v make_v his_o judgement_n his_o wrath_n and_o indignation_n to_o be_v feel_v unto_o some_o more_o than_o to_o other_o some_o but_o it_o follow_v not_o therefore_o but_o that_o all_o man_n be_v constrain_v to_o carry_v it_o and_o but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o burden_n importable_a to_o all_o man_n therefore_o it_o be_v so_o often_o write_v that_o those_o which_o shall_v have_v most_o sin_v shall_v be_v most_o punish_v now_o those_o unto_o who_o god_n have_v give_v more_o favour_n and_o grace_n and_o have_v give_v more_o

it_o follow_v not_o therefore_o that_o the_o ignorance_n and_o negligence_n do_v excuse_v the_o other_o but_o that_o they_o none_o have_v their_o part_n jesus_n christ_n manase_v with_o a_o more_o

the_o sodomite_n &_o gomorian_n as_o unto_o we_o yet_o jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o excuse_v they_o therefore_o altogether_o nor_o absolve_v they_o of_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n but_o for_o to_o
