of_o this_o matter_n at_o one_o time_n but_o by_o leisure_n neither_o be_v it_o do_v without_o the_o great_a dispensation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o after_o so_o many_o year_n catholic_n both_o believe_v purgatory_n and_o receive_v the_o use_n of_o pardon_n general_o so_o long_o as_o there_o be_v no_o care_n of_o purgatory_n no_o man_n seek_v for_o pardon_n for_o of_o it_o depend_v all_o the_o estimation_n that_o we_o have_v of_o pardon_n if_o thou_o take_v away_o purgatory_n to_o what_o end_n shall_v we_o need_v pardon_n for_o if_o their_o be_v no_o purgatory_n we_o shall_v

therefore_o we_o learn_v here_o that_o the_o greek_a church_n never_o believe_v purgatory_n to_o this_o day_n 2_o second_o that_o the_o latin_a church_n and_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v not_o believe_v

irrefragable_a consecution_n first_o that_o the_o second_o book_n of_o the_o maccabee_n be_v not_o canonical_a or_o pen_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o if_o that_o book_n be_v of_o canonical_a

purgatory_n be_v very_o effectual_o &_o plain_o contain_v therein_o secondlie_o that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o of_o that_o church_n speak_v the_o bishop_n repute_v the_o work_n of_o god_n unperfect_a albeit_o moses_n avouch_v the_o contrary_a dei_fw-la inquit_fw-la perfecta_fw-la sunt_fw-la opera_fw-la the_o work_n 4._o of_o god_n say_v he_o be_v perfect_a i_o prove_v this_o because_o as_o the_o bishop_n say_v the_o scripture_n make_v purgatory_n know_v to_o the_o church_n but_o unperfectlie_o yet_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o if_o god_n make_v purgatory_n know_v by_o the_o

moses_n the_o holy_a prophet_n of_o god_n than_o my_o lord_n our_o fisher_n though_o the_o pope_n canonize_a martyr_n thirdlie_o this_o bishop_n for_o this_o his_o doctrine_n must_v either_o come_v again_o to_o retract_v his_o opinion_n or_o else_o will_v he_o will_v he_o condemn_v the_o pope_n and_o church_n of_o rome_n this_o i_o will_v prove_v by_o a_o most_o plain_a and_o evident_a demonstration_n for_o the_o better_a understanding_n whereof_o i_o shall_v desire_v the_o gentle_a reader_n to_o observe_v three_o thing_n with_o i_o first_o that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n preach_v now_o and_o do_v in_o this_o bishop_n time_n that_o the_o book_n of_o maccabee_n be_v canonical_a scripture_n and_o pen_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n secondlie_o that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n neither_o believe_v nor_o know_v purgatory_n for_o many_o year_n together_o after_o the_o receit_n of_o holy_a scripture_n and_o these_o book_n of_o maccabee_n thirdlie_o that_o purgatory_n be_v effectual_o and_o plain_o contain_v in_o the_o second_o book_n of_o maccabee_n by_o popish_a
purgatory_n and_o yet_o by_o way_n of_o suffrage_n no_o such_o thing_n can_v be_v assure_v no_o more_o than_o when_o a_o other_o devoute_fw-fr papist_n shall_v offer_v up_o his_o prayer_n for_o they_o which_o thing_n seem_v so_o to_o trouble_n bellarminus_n that_o in_o his_o write_v dictate_v he_o know_v not_o well_o what_o to_o hold_v or_o write_v concern_v romish_a pardon_n three_o because_o the_o pope_n can_v not_o apply_v christ_n satisfaction_n more_o effectual_o to_o they_o by_o his_o pardon_v than_o the_o same_o be_v apply_v to_o they_o by_o the_o say_n of_o mass_n as_o which_o by_o popish_a religion_n be_v the_o self_n same_o sacrifice_n real_o that_o be_v offer_v upon_o the_o cross_n and_o yet_o do_v no_o papist_n say_v or_o think_v that_o our_o say_n of_o mass_n can_v or_o

and_o be_v daily_o see_v among_o the_o papist_n for_o to_o this_o end_n do_v they_o celebrate_v and_o observe_v yearly_a anniverssary_n for_o soul_n depart_v 10._o 20._o 30._o 40._o 60._o year_n

be_v prove_v that_o after_o god_n have_v pardon_v our_o sin_n and_o the_o eternal_a pain_n due_a for_o the_o same_o there_o still_o remain_v some_o temporal_a pain_n remissible_a by_o the_o pope_n

the_o first_o be_v of_o s._n thomas_n and_o s._n bonaventure_n to_o who_o agree_v turrecremata_fw-la the_o second_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o paludanus_n who_o avouch_v that_o the_o priest_n receive_v his_o authority_n not_o from_o the_o pope_n but_o from_o christ_n himself_o the_o three_o opinion_n be_v caietans_n who_o affirm_v that_o the_o priest_n have_v authority_n to_o absolve_v the_o pope_n neither_o from_o christ_n nor_o from_o the_o pope_n nor_o from_o the_o church_n but_o only_o by_o election_n to_o wit_n in_o that_o the_o pope_n submit_v himself_o to_o the_o priest_n and_o choose_v he_o and_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o four_o opinion_n which_o hold_v that_o as_o in_o receive_v of_o priesthood_n power_n of_o jurisdiction_n be_v give_v to_o every_o simple_a priest_n in_o respect_n of_o venial_a sin_n and_o of_o those_o mortal_n which_o the_o penitent_a nath_n otherwise_o confess_v and_o also_o in_o respect_n of_o every_o sinner_n in_o the_o point_n of_o death_n so_o be_v jurisdiction_n then_o give_v to_o the_o say_a priest_n that_o he_o may_v absolve_v the_o pope_n thus_o say_v our_o reverend_a bishop_n and_o worthy_a friar_n joseph_n out_o of_o who_o word_n i_o note_v 1_o first_o that_o since_o our_o lord_n be_v the_o god_n of_o peace_n and_o not_o of_o dissension_n as_o record_v his_o holy_a apostle_n in_o many_o place_n it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o this_o popish_a doctrine_n be_v not_o of_o god_n which_o be_v so_o divide_v against_o itself_o and_o 33._o therefore_o say_v caietain_v true_o though_o unwitting_o and_o to_o another_o end_n when_o he_o deny_v the_o priest_n to_o have_v his_o authority_n from_o christ_n or_o from_o his_o church_n 2_o i_o note_v second_o that_o their_o doctrine_n be_v mere_a opinative_a as_o which_o be_v only_o ground_v upon_o man_n invention_n 3_o i_o note_v three_o that_o as_o the_o priest_n jurisdiction_n be_v uncerten_a so_o be_v the_o pope_n absolution_n also_o as_o which_o be_v consectarie_n thereunto_o and_o consequent_o that_o the_o pope_n stand_v in_o danger_n of_o his_o salvation_n and_o so_o if_o i_o be_v not_o deceive_v the_o obscurity_n of_o this_o conclusion_n be_v make_v evident_a the_o corollary_n first_o therefore_o since_o auricular_a popish_a confession_n be_v not_o command_v by_o christ_n second_o since_o it_o be_v not_o practise_v by_o the_o apostle_n three_o since_o it_o be_v institute_v only_o by_o the_o positive_a law_n of_o man_n four_o since_o the_o greek_a church_n never_o admit_v that_o law_n five_o since_o it_o be_v contrary_a not_o only_o to_o the_o father_n but_o to_o popish_a doctor_n also_o sixth_o since_o it_o bring_v the_o pope_n himself_o to_o the_o hazard_n of_o his_o salvation_n i_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a motive_n for_o i_o to_o renounce_v the_o romish_a religion_n as_o false_a erroneous_a and_o pernicious_a doctrine_n thus_o much_o of_o the_o ten_o and_o last_o motive_n peroratio_n i_o have_v in_o this_o discourse_n gentle_a reader_n brief_o confute_v ten_o special_a article_n of_o popish_a faith_n and_o religion_n 1_o first_o i_o have_v show_v the_o insufficiency_n blasphemy_n and_o absurdity_n of_o popish_a pardon_n 2_o second_o that_o the_o pope_n both_o may_v err_v and_o have_v err_v defacto_fw-la not_o only_o as_o a_o private_a person_n in_o private_a opinion_n but_o even_o as_o pope_n and_o public_a person_n in_o judicial_a definition_n 3_o three_o that_o general_a counsel_n in_o these_o latter_a day_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o mere_a mockery_n &_o sophistical_a subtlety_n to_o deceive_v god_n people_n withal_o 4_o four_o that_o the_o pope_n dispensation_n be_v wicked_a licentious_a and_o intolerable_a 5_o five_o that_o king_n be_v above_o pope_n that_o their_o power_n be_v independent_a &_o that_o they_o be_v subject_a to_o none_o but_o to_o god_n alone_o 6_o six_o that_o popish_a dissension_n be_v of_o matter_n most_o important_a and_o incredible_a to_o such_o as_o be_v not_o well_o acquaint_v with_o their_o book_n 7_o seaventhly_a that_o the_o writing_n of_o the_o ancient_a father_n be_v to_o be_v receive_v with_o great_a reverence_n yet_o so_o as_o we_o acknowledge_v they_o to_o be_v man_n to_o have_v their_o error_n and_o to_o bind_v we_o to_o their_o authority_n no_o further_o than_o they_o accord_v with_o the_o holy_a scripture_n 8_o eight_o that_o all_o thing_n necessary_a for_o our_o salvation_n be_v contain_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o that_o popish_a tradition_n be_v so_o uncerten_a as_o the_o best_a learned_a papist_n can_v not_o agree_v therein_o 9_o nine_o that_o after_o this_o life_n there_o be_v neither_o merit_n nor_o demerit_n nor_o satisfaction_n to_o be_v make_v and_o that_o the_o book_n of_o maccabee_n can_v not_o establish_v popish_a purgatory_n 10_o ten_o that_o the_o specifical_a enumeration_n and_o confession_n of_o all_o our_o sin_n be_v not_o only_o not_o command_v by_o the_o scripture_n but_o repugnant_a to_o the_o same_o and_o impossible_a to_o be_v accomplish_v by_o the_o power_n of_o man_n all_o which_o point_n i_o have_v prove_v not_o only_o by_o scripture_n authority_n and_o reason_n but_o even_o by_o the_o express_a testimony_n of_o best_a learned_a papist_n a_o thing_n heretofore_o never_o perform_v by_o any_o to_o my_o knowledge_n and_o yet_o so_o forceable_a against_o the_o papist_n if_o i_o be_v not_o deceive_v as_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o my_o desire_n be_v to_o content_v all_o to_o offend_v none_o to_o confirm_v the_o weak_a to_o
