article_n of_o faith_n the_o 51._o apologue_n by_o which_o be_v show_v how_o easy_o the_o pope_n follower_n deceive_v the_o world_n there_o come_v to_o venice_n a_o cerretan_a or_o pardonmonger_n who_o have_v buy_v of_o the_o pope_n all_o his_o authority_n over_o the_o dead_a do_v brag_v that_o he_o can_v deliver_v soul_n out_o of_o hell_n and_o because_o many_o fool_n give_v credit_n to_o his_o word_n he_o get_v great_a store_n of_o money_n but_o the_o pope_n legate_n understand_v it_o send_v for_o he_o and_o ask_v he_o where_o he_o get_v authority_n to_o deliver_v soul_n out_o of_o

in_o purgatory_n and_o not_o over_o those_o which_o be_v in_o hell_n then_o the_o cerretan_a say_v you_o be_v a_o very_a heretic_n who_o will_v thus_o limit_v the_o power_n of_o the_o pope_n tell_v i_o i_o pray_v you_o be_v not_o god_n omnipotent_a may_v not_o he_o do_v what_o he_o will_v can_v any_o one_o limit_n or_o bound_v the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o the_o legate_n answer_v no_o so_o reply_v the_o cerretan_a in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o pope_n have_v all_o the_o power_n of_o god_n as_o his_o lieutenant_n on_o earth_n none_o can_v bound_v or_o restrain_v his_o power_n but_o say_v the_o legate_n we_o read_v that_o out_o of_o hell_n there_o be_v no_o redemption_n but_o that_o the_o pain_n thereof_o be_v eternal_a do_v not_o you_o know_v say_v the_o cerretan_a that_o there_o be_v no_o rule_n so_o general_a but_o have_v some_o exception_n that_o which_o you_o say_v be_v to_o be_v understand_v thus_o that_o they_o can_v ordinary_o be_v deliver_v thence_o as_o here_o in_o the_o prison_n of_o venice_n the_o malefactor_n keep_v therein_o can_v come_v out_o when_o there_o will_v notwithstanding_o the_o signiory_n can_v set_v they_o at_o liberty_n when_o they_o please_v but_o say_v the_o legate_n what_o authority_n have_v you_o over_o hell_n the_o same_o say_v he_o which_o the_o pope_n have_v over_o purgatory_n but_o i_o have_v gain_v more_o by_o hell_n then_o by_o purgatory_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o pope_n will_v follow_v my_o council_n he_o may_v quick_o fill_v his_o coffer_n with_o treasure_n the_o legate_n ask_v he_o how_o and_o he_o say_v if_o he_o will_v say_v that_o he_o will_v deliver_v soul_n out_o of_o hell_n which_o may_v easy_o be_v do_v if_o only_o in_o that_o place_n of_o his_o bull_n where_o he_o say_v deliver_v soul_n out_o of_o purgatory_n he_o will_v also_o add_v deliver_v soul_n out_o of_o hell_n but_o the_o chief_a and_o principal_a matter_n of_o the_o business_n be_v say_v the_o legate_n not_o that_o he_o only_o say_v so_o in_o word_n but_o that_o they_o be_v deliver_v in_o deed_n and_o effect_n what_o say_v the_o cerretan_a need_v the_o pope_n care_v whether_o they_o be_v deliver_v or_o no_o so_o that_o the_o world_n do_v believe_v they_o be_v deliver_v be_v it_o not_o sufficient_a for_o he_o that_o he_o may_v fill_v his_o chest_n with_o the_o gain_n which_o he_o reap_v thereby_o but_o say_v the_o legate_n it_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a matter_n to_o make_v the_o world_n believe_v that_o he_o can_v deliver_v soul_n out_o of_o hell_n nay_o say_v the_o cerretan_a so_o much_o have_v he_o blind_v and_o besot_v the_o world_n that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a easy_a matter_n yea_o if_o you_o well_o consider_v it_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o pope_n shall_v have_v much_o less_o labour_n to_o persuade_v the_o poor_a world_n that_o he_o can_v deliver_v soul_n out_o of_o hell_n then_o that_o he_o can_v free_a they_o from_o purgatory_n for_o as_o touch_v purgatory_n he_o have_v two_o labour_n the_o first_o to_o make_v man_n understand_v that_o there_o be_v a_o purgatory_n the_o second_o to_o make_v they_o believe_v that_o he_o can_v deliver_v soul_n thence_o but_o as_o touch_v hell_n whereas_o every_o one_o be_v already_o persuade_v that_o there_o be_v one_o there_o remain_v but_o one_o labour_n for_o he_o which_o be_v to_o make_v man_n believe_v that_o he_o have_v power_n to_o free_a the_o damn_a from_o their_o everlasting_a torment_n these_o thing_n please_v the_o legate_n so_o well_o that_o he_o present_o write_v thereof_o unto_o the_o pope_n the_o 52._o apologue_n whereby_o be_v condemn_v
