report_v how_o the_o same_o s._n francis_n have_v a_o revelation_n from_o heaven_n that_o the_o aforesaid_a friar_n helias_n shall_v do_v penance_n for_o his_o sin_n and_o not_o be_v damn_v at_o all_o this_o shall_v you_o read_v in_o the_o chronicle_n of_o the_o friar_n minor_n tom_n 1._o cap._n 118._o and_o such_o as_o will_v take_v pain_n to_o peruse_v s._n brigids_n revelation_n &_o conserre_v they_o with_o our_o legend_n of_o saint_n life_n shall_v find_v innumerable_a example_n of_o like_a kind_n one_o saint_n have_v a_o revelation_n direct_o contrary_a to_o what_o have_v be_v reveal_v unto_o another_o notwithstanding_o that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n one_o truth_n and_o we_o may_v be_v enduce_v or_o rather_o enforce_v to_o believe_v that_o these_o revelation_n vision_n and_o apparition_n of_o s._n francis_n and_o simon_n stoc_n if_o any_o such_o be_v be_v mere_a satanical_a illusion_n &_o no_o divine_a revelation_n for_o that_o they_o promise_v that_o certitude_n and_o assurance_n of_o salvation_n in_o this_o life_n which_o be_v repugnant_a to_o sacred_a writ_n the_o uniform_a consent_n of_o the_o primitive_a father_n the_o uniform_a consent_n of_o general_n counsel_n and_o the_o belief_n both_o of_o our_o holy_a mother_n the_o church_n and_o all_o her_o obedient_a child_n even_o unto_o these_o time_n as_o i_o have_v abundant_o prove_v in_o my_o epistle_n to_o pope_n vrbanns_n and_o not_o necessary_a here_o to_o be_v repeat_v again_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v conclude_v this_o first_o point_n with_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n golat._n 1_o that_o if_o a_o angel_n from_o heaven_n shall_v come_v and_o preach_v unto_o we_o contrary_a to_o what_o we_o have_v receive_v anathema_n sir_n but_o yet_o to_o give_v scope_n to_o a_o more_o full_a and_o ample_a discourse_n of_o this_o argument_n let_v we_o admit_v for_o the_o present_a that_o s._n francis_n and_o simon_n stoc_n have_v receive_v by_o divine_a revelation_n that_o whosoever_o shall_v die_v in_o the_o habit_n of_o the_o one_o and_o the_o scapular_a of_o the_o other_o shall_v undoubted_o be_v save_v for_o it_o may_v not_o be_v deny_v but_o such_o certitude_n may_v be_v have_v by_o divine_a revelation_n example_n we_o have_v of_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o two_o glorious_a apostle_n s._n peter_n &_o s._n paul_n of_o s._n mary_n magdalen_n &_o some_o other_o for_o the_o arm_n of_o our_o lord_n be_v not_o shorten_v nor_o his_o power_n abridge_v yet_o say_v i_o conformable_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o holy_a church_n as_o afterward_o shall_v be_v prove_v that_o this_o can_v be_v no_o assurance_n or_o security_n unto_o other_o who_o be_v not_o partaker_n of_o the_o say_a vision_n and_o revelation_n to_o believe_v that_o doctrine_n because_o what_o be_v of_o divine_a authority_n unto_o one_o be_v but_o of_o humane_a and_o sallible_a authority_n unto_o another_o for_o say_v that_o peter_n know_v a_o thing_n to_o come_v by_o certain_a &_o divine_a revelation_n yet_o the_o same_o shall_v be_v to_o patrick_n but_o only_o a_o humane_a relation_n receive_v from_o the_o lip_n of_o peter_n a_o mortal_a man_n subject_n to_o error_n and_o mistake_v to_o deceive_v and_o to_o be_v deceive_v and_o be_v but_o in_o via_fw-la &_o none_o in_o termine_n peccable_a in_o thought_n word_n and_o deed_n and_o therefore_o we_o see_v the_o church_n who_o wisdom_n be_v from_o the_o holy_a ghost_n never_o to_o canonize_v any_o person_n though_o repute_v never_o so_o holy_a while_o they_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o till_o such_o time_n as_o their_o sanctity_n be_v attest_v by_o sign_n and_o wonder_n from_o heaven_n as_o then_o s._n francis_n before_o his_o conversion_n be_v of_o life_n &_o conversation_n like_a unto_o other_o of_o his_o rank_n &_o quality_n &_o not_o much_o scrupulous_a of_o the_o offence_n of_o god_n till_o he_o come_v unto_o the_o age_n of_o twenty_o five_o as_o may_v appear_v both_o by_o the_o first_o word_n of_o his_o testament_n quia_fw-la cum_fw-la
