of Rastell came to his handes when he was presonner in the Tower of London where he made the answer folowyng to the same which answere after Rastell had reade he was well conteÌ„t to counte his natural reason folyshnes and with harty thankes geuen to god becam a chylde agayne and sucked of the wysdome which cometh from aboue saueth all that be noryshed therwith in the which he contynued to his lyfes ende with the honour and glorye of God to whome be prase for euer Amen Â¶ Here foloweth te preface of this boke BRother Rastell I thanke yow that it had pleased you to be so fauourable vnto me a pore presoner as to shewe me a copie of your boke which yow haue wryten to confute my reasons scrypture that I haue alleged against purgatory for that hath caused me to make a subsydy defence bulwarke to my boke which by goddes grace shalbe an occation to open more lyght although not to yow yet at the lestwyse vnto them whose hartes the prince of this world hathe noâ— blynded but that the lyghte of the gospell and glorye of Chryste maye shyne in theÌ„ And where as yow wryte proteste that yow wyll brenge no scripture agaynst me But only rehersse my scrypture againe whiche I haue alleged vnê‘feytlye and wounde me with myne owne dartes wyll but euen do as one that playeth at tennes wyth another tossinge the balle agayne I doo verye well admitte your similitude Not withstodinge yow know ryght wel that it is not I noughe for a man playinge at teÌ„nes to tosse the ball agayn but he must so tosse it that the tother take it not For yf the other smyte it ouer agayne then is the game in as great ieoberdy as it was before besydes that he muste take hede that he neyther smyte to shorte of the lynne nor yet vnder for then it is a losse and he had ben better to let it go And finallye somtyme a maÌ„smyteth ouer thynkethe al wonne and yet an vngracious poste stondeth in the waye maketh the ball to rebounde backe agayne ouer the corde loseth the game And that wyl anger a man I assartayne yow that ye haue tossed neuer a ball but ye offende in one of this poyntes yet besydes that somtyme ye playe a touche of legerdemayne caste me a ball which when it commythe I perceaue to be non of myne all the courte shall iudge the same This poyntes shalbe declared when we come to them and nowe I wyll answer in order An answere to Rastels fyrst prologe IN youre prologe yow assigned ii causes of the makyng of youre .i. boke of purgatory without alleginge any textes of scripture for the proue therof which are the coÌ„trouersye of .ii. sortes of people One sorte you say be those that beleue not iÌ„ Christ but denie christ his scripture as be the turkes paynims suh other miscreauÌ„ts An other sorte be they that beleue in chryste his scripture nor wyll denye no texte of holy scripture but yet they wyll coÌ„strue expoÌ„de and interprete this textes after theyr owue wylles and obstinate mynde c. Now let vs coÌ„syder your forsayd causes poÌ„der whether your boke haue or may do any such good as you say pretended whether it haue coÌ„uerted those sortes of people or els by any thynge likely to do suche a facte And fyrst let vs se what it profyteth the fyrste sorte which are infideles not beleuiÌ„ge iÌ„ chryst nor his scripture Our saâ—iour christ saieth he that beleueth is not daÌ„pned IhoÌ„ Bap. coÌ„firmeth the same saying he that beleueth in the sonÌ„e hath euerlastiÌ„ge lyffe but he that beleueth not in the soneÌ„ shall not se lyfe but the wrath of god abydeth vppoÌ„ hiÌ„ Here it is euident not be my exposicyoÌ„ but by the coÌ„sent of all christeÌ„ men that those in fideles are daÌ„pned for what enteÌ„t thaÌ„ shulde Rastel teache theÌ„ that there is a purgatory without christ their is no way but daÌ„pnacy on as scripture all faythfull men testifye TheÌ„ wolde I know by what way he wolde ê‘swade that there were a purgatory which shulde be away ameane to saluacion and not to daÌ„pnacioÌ„ for them which beleue not in Chryst This I am sure of I thiÌ„ke Rastell beleueth it also that the infydeles shall neuer come in it thoughe theire were one This you maye se that his fyrst cause is verye vayne that yf they dyd beleue it they were in dead deceyued Now let vs ê“cede vnto the secoÌ„de sorte of poeple which beleue in christ his scripture yet misconstrue it expouÌ„ding it after their owne willes And let vs se what frute they take of this boke what it profyteth them we shall fynde that it lesse serueth these meÌ„ theÌ„ the fryste for if this men beleue in chryst in his scripture theÌ„ is it not possyble that they shulde receaue or admytte that thynge whiche is against the scripture bothe by the exposicioÌ„ of theÌ„ selues of al the worlde For this is both agaynst scrypture and all faithfull men that there shulde be anye waye to helth yf we exclude Christ and his scripture And syth purgatorye is counted awaye to helthe he that wolde go aboute to proue it secludynge Chryst and scrypture is against scrypture and all faythfull men Besydes that yf they be so obstynate that they wyll not receaue the verye scripture but expounde it after theyr owne wylles wrest it after the same then wyll they moche lesse receaue your boke which is so playne against scripture and therfore yf yow wolde thiÌ„ke that they coulde be tamed by your boke which notwitstonding so wresteth scrypture theÌ„ may I verye well lyken yow to him that hath a wilde horse to tame which when he ê‘ceueth that he caÌ„ not holde him with a scokry she snafle wyll yet labour to breake hiÌ„ with a rotyn twyne threde So that I can espye no maner of profyte that can come of youre boke yf yowe can allege no better causes theÌ„ yow yet shew but that it had ben a greate dele better on wryten And brother Rastel where yow say that I auaunce boste my selfe moch more then becometh me and that I detraycte slander my neyghbours and that I prouoke all meÌ„ that read my boke rather to vyce theÌ„ to vertu with such other thynges as ye lay to my charge I trust I shall declare my inconuenyence and geue yow a sufficient answere Â¶ An answere to Rastels fyrst Chapter whych reproueth me for boostynge my selfe IN the fyrst chapter of this boke Rastel laboureth to proue that I am sore ouer sene in laudinge bosting my selfe and that I like my selfe so wel that he is sure that other men do lyke me the lesse that he fereth that god wyll therfore lyke me fauour me rather the worse then the better Here he iogeleth wyth me wolde make me beleue that
