say_v so_o and_o that_o only_o you_o pretend_v to_o make_v the_o doctrine_n pass_v for_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n the_o contrary_a of_o which_o all_o the_o world_n know_v to_o be_v maintain_v by_o

you_o mean_v by_o the_o word_n such_o soul_n purge_v after_o separation_n it_o be_v no_o better_o than_o a_o cunning_a calumny_n and_o will_v represent_v i_o as_o hold_v direct_o contrary_a to_o the_o bull_n and_o council_n whereas_o our_o dispute_n be_v whether_o soul_n may_v be_v so_o purge_v out_o of_o their_o body_n before_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n not_o if_o they_o be_v so_o purge_v whether_o they_o go_v to_o heaven_n before_o that_o day_n this_o i_o agree_v to_o and_o be_v of_o faith_n that_o i_o deny_v and_o be_v but_o a_o opinion_n three_o you_o do_v not_o well_o justify_v your_o friend_n for_o change_v the_o title_n from_o concerning_o the_o vision_n of_o god_n and_o the_o beatitude_n and_o damnation_n of_o soul_n to_o this_o short_a but_o more_o general_a one_o concerning_o the_o state_n of_o depart_a soul_n while_o your_o answer_n signify_v only_o that_o they_o be_v several_a expression_n for_o the_o same_o thing_n which_o to_o a_o wary_a considerer_n will_v easy_o appear_v a_o artifice_n be_v it_o all_o one_o to_o contend_v about_o white_a and_o black_a and_o about_o colour_n in_o general_a no_o more_o be_v it_o all_o one_o to_o define_v

quarrel_n though_o some_o line_n in_o it_o be_v both_o false_a and_o malicious_a yet_o i_o will_v let_v all_o pass_v and_o go_v on_o to_o the_o thirty_o eight_o section_n where_o you_o rip_v up_o again_o the_o question_n whether_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o decree_n be_v that_o perfect_a charity_n carry_v separate_v soul_n immediate_o to_o heaven_n in_o which_o you_o tell_v we_o your_o

in_o the_o first_o instant_a and_o this_o may_v peradventure_o be_v true_a but_o if_o i_o be_o not_o deceive_v he_o will_v not_o say_v they_o be_v purge_v for_o i_o be_o sure_a you_o will_v censure_v it_o deep_o in_o i_o if_o i_o shall_v say_v that_o after_o this_o life_n there_o be_v any_o more_o dispose_v itself_o or_o merit_v towards_o life_n eternal_a but_o i_o must_v not_o be_v over_o confident_a you_o may_v have_v two_o censure_n in_o your_o breast_n for_o the_o same_o say_n in_o the_o mouth_n of_o different_a person_n you_o ask_v if_o charity_n bring_v a_o soul_n immediate_o to_o bliss_n what_o then_o do_v your_o adversary_n think_v of_o lumen_fw-la gloriae_fw-la it_o be_v to_o i_o a_o hard_a question_n what_o he_o will_v think_v of_o it_o for_o i_o see_v your_o great_a divine_n can_v agree_v what_o to_o think_v of_o it_o but_o i_o guess_v he_o may_v think_v either_o charity_n itself_o when_o perfect_o in_o a_o pure_a spirit_n be_v the_o light_n of_o glory_n or_o cause_v it_o as_o well_o as_o the_o beatifical_a vision_n you_o press_v far_o the_o perfection_n of_o charity_n in_o this_o life_n do_v not_o give_v the_o beatifical_a vision_n therefore_o neither_o in_o abstract_a soul_n but_o if_o i_o shall_v ask_v you_o how_o you_o know_v the_o antecedent_n you_o will_v be_v at_o a_o stop_n i_o can_v hear_v it_o defend_v that_o st._n benedict_n have_v the_o

her_o conception_n in_fw-la montibus_fw-la sanctis_fw-la in_o the_o heighth_n or_o top_n of_o sanctity_n therefore_o believe_v divine_n must_v take_v heed_n of_o deny_v as_o well_o as_o of_o say_v beside_o i_o have_v read_v in_o st._n thomas_n and_o other_o both_o more_o ancient_a and_o more_o modern_a that_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a pitch_n of_o charity_n to_o which_o when_o man_n arrive_v god_n take_v they_o out_o of_o this_o world_n but_o however_o that_o stand_n i_o think_v there_o be_v a_o large_a difference_n betwixt_o the_o charity_n of_o pure_a spirit_n and_o of_o man_n so_o that_o the_o consequence_n may_v be_v true_a of_o one_o and_o not_o of_o the_o other_o far_o on_o you_o mention_v some_o reason_n of_o i_o against_o corporal_a punish_n of_o spirit_n but_o you_o knock_v they_o all_o on_o the_o head_n with_o a_o canon_n of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n to_o understand_v the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n it_o be_v not_o amiss_o to_o consider_v that_o a_o sin_n special_o a_o notorious_a one_o have_v three_o effect_n or_o part_n one_o in_o the_o rational_a soul_n where_o it_o be_v a_o judgement_n or_o resolution_n or_o affection_n that_o such_o a_o action_n be_v to_o be_v do_v a_o second_o in_o the_o appetite_n or_o body_n where_o it_o make_v certain_a motion_n and_o their_o cause_n which_o bring_v a_o likelihood_n of_o fall_v into_o the_o same_o sin_n the_o three_o part_n be_v in_o the_o external_a action_n where_o it_o bring_v in_o some_o disorder_n which_o be_v subject_a to_o propagate_v itself_o far_o into_o other_o subject_n the_o disorderly_a judgement_n and_o affection_n be_v that_o which_o our_o schoolman_n when_o they_o speak_v formal_o call_v the_o sin_n and_o account_v the_o sin_n remit_v when_o that_o be_v due_o blot_v out_o whatever_o that_o signify_v but_o it_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v do_v by_o contrition_n and_o absolution_n and_o although_o they_o admit_v this_o to_o be_v sufficient_a to_o go_v to_o heaven_n if_o one_o die_v yet_o in_o a_o live_a man_n they_o with_o reason_n require_v that_o the_o other_o two_o part_n or_o effect_n of_o sin_n shall_v also_o be_v take_v away_o which_o be_v to_o be_v do_v by_o satisfaction_n so_o may_v the_o reader_n understand_v what_o satisfaction_n be_v require_v for_o now_o let_v we_o see_v what_o you_o urge_v out_o of_o the_o council_n first_o you_o object_v the_o council_n teach_v that_o it_o be_v against_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o say_v that_o the_o fault_n be_v never_o remit_v but_o that_o all_o the_o punishment_n be_v also_o forgive_v and_o so_o you_o see_v by_o the_o discourse_n above_o make_v that_o we_o say_v also_o second_o the_o council_n say_v that_o it_o become_v the_o divine_a clemency_n that_o sin_n shall_v not_o be_v par●oned_v without_o any_o satisfaction_n so_o we_o say_v also_o by_o the_o fore-made_a discourse_n three_o the_o council_n charge_v priest_n to_o impose_v satisfaction_n so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o as_o to_o the_o guard_n of_o a_o new_a life_n but_o also_o as_o in_o revenge_n and_o chastisement_n of_o their_o past_a sin_n which_o be_v clear_o necessary_a for_o the_o mend_n of_o the_o outward_a excess_n bring_v in_o by_o the_o sin_n and_o so_o we_o say_v direct_o the_o same_o you_o press_v far_o that_o the_o council_n say_v in_o baptism_n the_o whole_a pain_n be_v remit_v and_o if_o you_o speak_v in_o opposition_n to_o sin_n remit_v in_o penance_n the_o cause_n be_v clear_a for_o the_o sin_n commit_v before_o baptism_n belong_v not_o to_o the_o church_n court_n but_o if_o you_o speak_v in_o regard_n of_o god_n almighty_a i_o fear_v it_o will_v require_v i_o shall_v ask_v your_o judgement_n of_o a_o case_n your_o divine_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o who_o receive_v baptism_n cu_z fiction●_n receive_v baptism_n true_o yet_o if_o he_o die_v immediate_o i_o suspect_v whether_o you_o will_v send_v he_o immediate_o

fault_n be_v that_o i_o say_v the_o opinion_n of_o soul_n be_v deliver_v before_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n proceed_v from_o the_o not_o follow_v a_o doctrine_n of_o st._n thomas_n that_o in_o abstract_a spirit_n there_o be_v no_o discourse_n or_o any_o manner_n of_o composition_n of_o knowledge_n whence_o i_o infer_v there_o can_v be_v no_o falsity_n in_o they_o this_o be_v my_o position_n of_o which_o you_o tell_v we_o that_o it_o import_v not_o to_o consider_v whether_o the_o knowledge_n of_o angel_n be_v by_o true_a discourse_n or_o only_o by_o virtual_a to_o which_o say_v you_o suffice_v a_o priority_n of_o causality_n but_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v tell_v you_o that_o the_o causality_n you_o imagine_v can_v be_v without_o true_a time_n than_o peradventure_o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o dispute_v whether_o there_o be_v a_o true_a discourse_n in_o angel_n and_o this_o be_v the_o very_a case_n for_o take_v away_o succession_n and_o all_o corporeal_a cause_n which_o depend_v on_o time_n be_v take_v away_o there_o remain_v than_o nothing_o but_o the_o spiritual_a quality_n of_o the_o angel_n to_o be_v cause_n which_o neither_o be_v distinguish_v from_o one_o the_o other_o nor_o from_o their_o subject_n and_o so_o all_o notion_n of_o cause_n and_o effect_n as_o they_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o efficient_a be_v quite_o take_v away_o and_o so_o there_o will_v not_o remain_v any_o discourse_n at_o all_o but_o a_o pure_a clear_a sight_n frame_v on_o they_o by_o their_o creator_n in_o which_o i_o believe_v you_o will_v not_o say_v there_o be_v any_o error_n or_o can_v be_v so_o that_o the_o whole_a question_n rest_v upon_o this_o whether_o there_o be_v true_a discourse_n or_o no_o now_o how_o do_v you_o prove_v what_o you_o say_v be_v to_o the_o purpose_n to_o wit_v that_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v out_o of_o this_o doctrine_n of_o st._n thomas_n that_o there_o be_v no_o error_n in_o angel_n your_o proof_n be_v because_o st._n thomas_n notwithstanding_o this_o doctrine_n acknowledge_v error_n in_o devil_n good_a sir_n as_o long_o as_o you_o have_v be_v a_o divine_a do_v you_o ever_o hear_v that_o it_o be_v a_o gross_a injury_n to_o st._n thomas_n to_o say_v some_o opinion_n of_o his_o be_v not_o true_a or_o not_o consequent_a to_o another_o true_o i_o desire_v not_o to_o do_v a_o injury_n to_o any_o much_o less_o to_o my_o reverence_a master_n to_o who_o after_o god_n i_o acknowledge_v it_o if_o i_o know_v any_o thing_n either_o in_o philosophy_n or_o divinity_n yet_o i_o have_v no_o fear_v not_o to_o follow_v all_o his_o opinion_n much_o
