A59894	A short summary of the principal controversies between the Church of England, and the church of Rome being a vindication of several Protestant doctrines, in answer to a late pamphlet intituled, Protestancy destitute of Scripture-proofs.

confession_n and_o the_o absolution_n of_o the_o priest_n yet_o there_o remain_v a_o temporal_a punishment_n to_o be_v undergo_v by_o the_o penitent_a either_o in_o this_o world_n or_o in_o

to_o satisfy_v for_o go_v direct_o to_o heaven_n when_o they_o die_v and_o bad_a man_n who_o be_v under_o the_o guilt_n of_o mortal_a sin_n go_v direct_o to_o hell_n so_o those_o who_o be_v

satisfaction_n for_o these_o sin_n while_o they_o live_v must_v be_v make_v up_o in_o purgatory_n for_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o this_o fire_n of_o purgatory_n be_v for_o the_o purge_n or_o reform_v sinner_n that_o they_o may_v ascend_v more_o pure_a and_o refine_a into_o heaven_n but_o only_o and_o mere_o to_o bear_v that_o temporal_a punishment_n which_o be_v due_a to_o sin_n for_o 4._o the_o cardinal_n industrious_o prove_v that_o the_o soul_n in_o purgatory_n can_v neither_o merit_v nor_o sin_n that_o they_o be_v perfect_a in_o charity_n and_o consequent_o in_o all_o other_o

punishment_n which_o be_v due_a to_o their_o sin_n than_o they_o shall_v be_v release_v and_o receive_v into_o heaven_n but_o because_o this_o be_v a_o very_a uncomfortable_a doctrine_n that_o man_n must_v lie_v many_o hundred_o or_o thousand_o year_n in_o purgatory_n which_o differ_v from_o the_o torment_n of_o hell_n only_o in_o the_o continuance_n 14._o of_o they_o for_o purgatory_n be_v as_o hot_a as_o hell_n but_o one_o be_v temporal_a and_o the_o other_o eternal_a which_o be_v a_o very_a terrible_a consideration_n that_o we_o must_v be_v torment_v for_o many_o hundred_o year_n though_o not_o for_o ever_o therefore_o they_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o soul_n in_o purgatory_n may_v be_v relieve_v by_o the_o prayer_n and_o alm_n of_o the_o live_n and_o by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n and_o principal_o by_o indulgence_n which_o 16._o the_o pope_n dispense_v and_o apply_v to_o particular_a person_n out_o of_o the_o treasury_n of_o the_o church_n which_o consist_v of_o the_o

show_v how_o groundless_a it_o be_v how_o injurious_a to_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n and_o to_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n how_o contrary_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n and_o of_o most_o if_o not_o all_o christian_a church_n at_o this_o day_n except_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o to_o let_v our_o people_n see_v what_o kind_n of_o proof_n they_o must_v demand_v for_o purgatory_n which_o alone_o will_v be_v sufficient_a to_o secure_v they_o from_o the_o attacque_n of_o their_o witty_a adversary_n as_o to_o show_v this_o particular_o first_o to_o prove_v a_o middle_a state_n between_o death_n and_o judgement_n which_o be_v neither_o heaven_n nor_o hell_n do_v not_o prove_v a_o popish_a purgatory_n who_o ever_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o write_n of_o the_o father_n of_o the_o first_o four_o age_n must_v confess_v that_o this_o be_v a_o receive_a opinion_n among_o they_o that_o no_o man_n except_v christ_n himself_o be_v receive_v into_o heaven_n till_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n i_o shall_v not_o multiply_v quotation_n to_o this_o purpose_n which_o the_o learned_a know_v where_o to_o find_v irenaeus_n and_o 55._o tertullian_n prove_v this_o from_o the_o example_n of_o christ_n to_o which_o we_o must_v be_v conform_v for_o christ_n himself_o do_v not_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n till_o after_o his_o resurrection_n but_o as_o his_o body_n

when_o we_o die_v our_o soul_n shall_v live_v in_o those_o place_n which_o god_n have_v prepare_v for_o separate_v soul_n and_o there_o they_o must_v remain_v till_o the_o resurrection_n and_o when_o we_o have_v re-assumed_n our_o body_n we_o shall_v be_v admit_v into_o the_o high_a heaven_n whither_o christ_n be_v ascend_v this_o they_o affirm_v in_o opposition_n to_o those_o gnostick_n heretic_n who_o teach_v that_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o die_v they_o shall_v ascend_v above_o the_o heaven_n to_o he_o who_o they_o call_v the_o father_n which_o ibid._n irenaeus_n say_v be_v to_o exceed_v the_o

be_v plain_a that_o in_o irenaeus_n ibid._n his_o opinion_n no_o man_n who_o believe_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o flesh_n can_v reasonable_o think_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o good_a man_n do_v ascend_v into_o heaven_n till_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v unite_v at_o the_o resurrection_n since_o christ_n himself_o do_v not_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n till_o after_o his_o resurrection_n though_o he_o grant_v that_o some_o do_v believe_v so_o who_o be_v orthodox_n in_o the_o article_n of_o the_o resurrection_n though_o herein_o they_o agree_v with_o heretic_n that_o this_o ibid._n be_v the_o

the_o temporal_a punishment_n due_a to_o they_o in_o purgatory_n whereas_o the_o soul_n of_o all_o child_n who_o die_v after_o baptism_n before_o the_o commission_n of_o any_o actual_a sin_n and_o

according_a to_o these_o ancient_a father_n this_o separate_a state_n wherein_o the_o soul_n of_o good_a man_n continue_v till_o the_o resurrection_n be_v not_o a_o state_n of_o punishment_n as_o

bosom_n and_o paradise_n which_o they_o distinguish_v from_o heaven_n tertullian_n call_v it_o a_o place_n of_o divine_a pleasantness_n appoint_v for_o the_o spirit_n of_o holy_a mon._n the_o author_n of_o the_o question_n and_o answer_n to_o the_o orthodox_n in_o justin_n martyr_n express_o tell_v we_o that_o when_o the_o soul_n go_v out_o of_o the_o 75._o body_n there_o be_v a_o great_a

the_o father_n can_v deny_v three_o another_o difference_n be_v that_o this_o be_v a_o unalterable_a state_n till_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o no_o popish_a purgatory_n out_o of_o which_o as_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n pretend_v soul_n may_v be_v redeem_v by_o the_o prayer_n and_o alm_n and_o mass_n of_o the_o live_n and_o ascend_v immediate_o into_o heaven_n this_o be_v

popish_a purgatory_n and_o that_o middle_a state_n between_o death_n and_o judgement_n which_o the_o ancient_a father_n teach_v second_o nor_o be_v it_o sufficient_a to_o prove_v a_o popish_a purgatory_n that_o the_o ancient_a father_n do_v believe_v that_o all_o man_n must_v pass_v through_o the_o fire_n at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n that_o those_o who_o be_v perfect_o good_a shall_v

particular_n 1._o that_o the_o popish_a purgatory_n be_v now_o and_o have_v be_v in_o be_v at_o least_o since_o the_o time_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o that_o those_o who_o deserve_v the_o fire_n of_o

and_o therefore_o not_o the_o popish_a purgatory_n which_o as_o they_o will_v persuade_v we_o be_v already_o kindle_v and_o have_v be_v for_o many_o hundred_o year_n indeed_o s._n augustin_n though_o he_o own_v that_o fiery_a trial_n at_o the_o last_o judgement_n as_o the_o father_n before_o he_o do_v yet_o he_o have_v something_o peculiar_a in_o this_o matter_n which_o none_o of_o the_o father_n before_o he_o ever_o teach_v and_o therefore_o have_v no_o authority_n of_o tradition_n it_o must_v rest_v whole_o upon_o his_o own_o authority_n who_o have_v no_o more_o authority_n to_o invent_v

first_o occasion_n of_o it_o which_o may_v be_v the_o reason_n why_o this_o doctrine_n have_v so_o much_o prevail_v in_o the_o latin_a church_n which_o be_v acquaint_v with_o s._n augustine_n write_n when_o it_o have_v be_v always_o reject_v by_o the_o greek_n as_o be_v evident_a from_o the_o council_n of_o florence_n but_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v say_v to_o this_o first_o that_o st._n austin_n speak_v very_o doubtful_o about_o it_o that_o there_o may_v be_v such_o punishment_n after_o this_o life_n he_o say_v be_v not_o incredible_a and_o we_o may_v examine_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o such_o 69._o thing_n or_o not_o and_o it_o may_v either_o be_v find_v or_o may_v still_o continue_v a_o secret_a whether_o some_o christian_n according_a to_o the_o degree_n of_o their_o love_n and_o affection_n for_o these_o perish_a enjoyment_n be_v not_o soon_o or_o late_a save_v by_o a_o certain_a purgatory_n fire_n and_o in_o another_o place_n he_o say_v he_o do_v not_o

of_o rome_n have_v invent_v the_o occasion_n
