A20964	The waters of Siloe To quench the fire of purgatory and to drowne the traditions, limboes, mans satisfactions and all popish indulgences, against the reasons and allegations of a Portugall frier of the order of St. Frances, supported by three treatises. The one written by the same Franciscan and entituled The fierie torrent, &c. The other two by two doctors of Sorbon. The one intituled The burning furnasse. The other The fire of Helie. By Peter Du Moulin minister of Gods word. Faithfully translated out of French by I.B.; Accroissement des eaux de Siloé.

at_o the_o least_o this_o remain_v since_o the_o pope_n pretend_v juridical_a power_n over_o the_o live_n and_o give_v they_o pardon_n with_o jurisdiction_n and_o power_n to_o absolve_v from_o all_o

carry_v along_o with_o it_o three_o or_o four_o hundred_o thousand_o year_n of_o pardon_n for_o her_o better_a indemnity_n why_o shall_v the_o french_a or_o spanish_a be_v in_o less_o favour_n with_o

justice_n be_v satisfy_v because_o the_o pope_n present_v for_o they_o the_o overplus_n of_o the_o merit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o saint_n they_o run_v themselves_o on_o the_o pike_n for_o
