nor_o find_v in_o purgatory_n be_v as_o i_o say_v before_o according_a to_o the_o adversary_n opinion_n a_o place_n of_o torment_n and_o unrest_n and_o this_o place_n of_o scripture_n attribute_v both_o blessedness_n and_o rest_n and_o that_o immediate_o after_o their_o death_n to_o all_o that_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o every_o such_o soul_n be_v in_o heaven_n &_o not_o in_o purgatory_n second_o i_o infer_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o place_n as_o purgatory_n because_o there_o be_v no_o use_n of_o nor_o for_o any_o such_o place_n for_o all_o the_o creature_n thing_n and_o place_n which_o god_n make_v he_o make_v they_o for_o some_o end_n use_v and_o purpose_n for_o he_o make_v nothing_o in_o vain_a and_o in_o all_o the_o scripture_n we_o neither_o find_v mention_n make_v of_o purgatory_n nor_o use_v for_o any_o such_o place_n which_o no_o doubt_n will_v have_v be_v do_v if_o the_o place_n have_v

for_o our_o salvation_n therefore_o i_o may_v safe_o conclude_v that_o there_o be_v no_o purgatory_n that_o prayer_n avail_v not_o the_o dead_a because_o i_o have_v be_v so_o tedious_a before_o i_o will_v only_o allege_v one_o example_n out_o of_o ecclesiastes_n 9_o the_o dead_a say_v he_o know_v nothing_o at_o all_o and_o they_o have_v no_o more_o portion_n for_o ever_o in_o all_o that_o be_v

thus_o we_o see_v this_o their_o doctrine_n both_o of_o prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a and_o purgatory_n to_o be_v false_a and_o superstitious_a and_o therefore_o i_o renounce_v and_o abjure_v it_o
