my_o reply_n be_v that_o he_o must_v seek_v out_o to_o who_o to_o answer_v for_o i_o never_o talk_v of_o pure_o natural_a cause_n but_o natural_a and_o supernatural_a together_o as_o they_o compound_v all_o second_o cause_n but_o the_o good_a man_n can_v think_v of_o no_o supernatural_a cause_n but_o god_n himself_o work_v immediate_o and_o so_o stray_v to_o seek_v out_o why_o such_o action_n be_v

this_o which_o himself_o be_v ●ain_o to_o confess_v and_o i_o think_v against_o his_o own_o opinion_n who_o put_v if_o i_o be_o not_o mistake_v no_o stain_n or_o blemish_n in_o the_o soul_n of_o

be_v call_v sin_n i_o wonder_v where_o he_o find_v this_o imagination_n for_o my_o doctrine_n be_v that_o the_o fire_n of_o judgement_n be_v ministerial_a to_o the_o angel_n frame_v the_o body_n to_o

argue_v from_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o baptism_n and_o penance_n that_o the_o one_o take_v away_o all_o the_o punishment_n due_a to_o sin_n the_o other_o leave_v some_o punishment_n to_o be_v expiate_v by_o satisfaction_n and_o put_v the_o case_n of_o a_o old_a man_n who_o come_v to_o baptism_n after_o a_o wicked_a long_a life_n with_o a_o imperfect_a sorrow_n and_o disposition_n yet_o say_v he_o all_o the_o punishment_n be_v remit_v to_o he_o though_o there_o remain_v many_o vicious_a inclination_n in_o he_o now_o if_o this_o man_n die_v soon_o after_o with_o some_o small_a venial_a sin_n he_o shall_v lie_v in_o great_a torment_n until_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n according_a to_o my_o doctrine_n this_o be_v his_o argument_n which_o he_o repeat_v now_o the_o second_o time_n and_o therefore_o it_o require_v a_o answer_n i_o tell_v he_o therefore_o that_o it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o baptism_n be_v take_v with_o a_o fit_a disposition_n to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o sacrament_n remit_v all_o pain_n and_o the_o sacrament_n of_o penance_n do_v not_o as_o be_v plain_a see_v satisfaction_n be_v one_o part_n of_o this_o sacrament_n but_o i_o will_v glad_o know_v by_o what_o authority_n your_o divine_a change_v the_o council_n definition_n and_o that_o which_o the_o council_n speak_v of_o man_n come_v to_o baptism_n with_o a_o disposition_n conformable_a and_o proportionable_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o sacrament_n he_o enlarge_v it_o to_o they_o who_o come_v with_o a_o imperfect_a and_o unproportionable_a disposition_n all_o man_n know_v baptism_n be_v a_o regeneration_n in_o which_o we_o be_v make_v nova_fw-la creatura_fw-la in_o which_o our_o vetus_n homo_fw-la be_v bury_v and_o therefore_o the_o connatural_a disposition_n be_v that_o a_o man_n

of_o his_o former_a imperfection_n such_o as_o we_o acknowledge_v in_o people_n perfect_o contrite_a such_o as_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v in_o man_n who_o relinquish_v the_o world_n to_o be_v carthusian_n eremite_n anachorite_n etc._n etc._n in_o all_o which_o we_o acknowledge_v that_o their_o repentance_n cancel_v all_o pain_n but_o likewise_o we_o acknowledge_v it_o take_v away_o all_o inclination_n to_o former_a vice_n at_o least_o out_o of_o the_o spiritual_a part_n of_o man_n and_o so_o leave_v no_o matter_n for_o the_o fire_n of_o purgatory_n to_o work_v upon_o which_o burn_v only_o ill_a affection_n 7._o in_o his_o seven_o number_n he_o cry_v out_o against_o this_o principle_n that_o the_o soul_n now_o become_v a_o pure_a spirit_n shall_v retain_v her_o affection_n to_o bodily_a object_n and_o think_v this_o misbeseem_v a_o philosopher_n to_o say_v therefore_o i_o think_v my_o best_a play_n be_v to_o say_v i_o speak_v as_o a_o divine_a for_o i_o hope_v so_o to_o have_v the_o protection_n of_o all_o those_o who_o say_v that_o in_o hell_n the_o soul_n be_v unrepentant_a and_o obstinate_a in_o their_o sin_n and_o sinful_a desire_n nevertheless_o if_o he_o will_v needs_o appeal_v to_o philosophy_n let_v he_o consider_v what_o plato_n 10._o de_fw-fr rep._n what_o cebes_n what_o the_o pythagorean_n teach_v and_o virgil_n out_o of_o philosopher_n conjux_fw-la

of_o divine_n and_o philosopher_n be_v say_v he_o such_o a_o soul_n purge_v herself_o i_o answer_v yes_o forsooth_o i_o pray_v if_o you_o ever_o look_v into_o the_o strife_n betwixt_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o flesh_n either_o how_o a_o man_n purge_v himself_o in_o his_o whole_a life_n or_o in_o some_o great_a battle_n and_o pitch'd-field_n see_v whether_o both_o be_v not_o compound_v of_o vicissitudinary_a victory_n now_o of_o the_o spirit_n now_o of_o the_o flesh._n reflect_v now_o that_o the_o eminency_n of_o the_o separate_a soul_n contain_v in_o itself_o at_o once_o more_o than_o the_o whole_a life-time_n of_o a_o incorporate_a soul_n what_o must_v or_o can_v we_o think_v but_o that_o all_o this_o contradiction_n of_o will_n must_v be_v at_o once_o in_o a_o imperfect_a separate_a soul_n which_o be_v in_o our_o life_n in_o part_n and_o separate_v in_o time_n 8._o he_o say_v again_o philosophy_n teach_v he_o that_o no_o body_n love_v evil_a clear_o apprehend_v to_o be_v evil_a &_o that_o no_o disguise_n of_o good_a can_v cheat_v a_o separate_a soul_n i_o must_v confess_v both_o these_o proposition_n to_o be_v true_a and_o therefore_o i_o be_o force_v to_o say_v that_o in_o purgatory_n their_o love_n be_v not_o about_o evil_a object_n but_o true_o good_a and_o conformable_a to_o nature_n and_o their_o fault_n consist_v only_o in_o excess_n of_o love_n which_o make_v they_o apt_a to_o follow_v their_o object_n where_o and_o when_o they_o shall_v not_o 9_o his_o three_o objection_n be_v how_o we_o know_v the_o soul_n will_v embrace_v this_o wilfulness_n since_o it_o be_v voluntary_a and_o therefore_o in_o her_o liberty_n not_o to_o accept_v of_o it_o or_o choose_v it_o this_o objection_n have_v two_o fault_n the_o one_o that_o it_o do_v not_o distinguish_v betwixt_o voluntary_a and_o free_a their_o own_o philosophy_n teach_v they_o that_o the_o love_n of_o our_o last_o end_n or_o good_a in_o common_a be_v a_o voluntary_a act_n but_o not_o free_a the_o like_a they_o teach_v of_o the_o accept_n of_o a_o medium_n when_o there_o be_v but_o one_o to_o gain_v the_o fore-embraced_n end_n the_o other_o be_v that_o he_o think_v that_o this_o wilfulness_n begin_v at_o death_n whereas_o it_o do_v but_o continue_v and_o begin_v in_o the_o body_n as_o the_o very_a word_n of_o remain_v and_o be_v conserve_v do_v signify_v 10._o his_o last_o objection_n be_v that_o there_o be_v in_o purgatory_n a_o efficacious_a repentance_n and_o therefore_o no_o will_n to_o do_v the_o like_a again_o i_o answer_v this_o word_n repentance_n do_v stick_v in_o my_o stomach_n for_o if_o it_o mean_v only_o a_o act_n of_o a_o contrary_a affection_n i_o easy_o accord_v it_o to_o he_o for_o in_o this_o consist_v the_o torment_n of_o a_o soul_n that_o be_v vicious_a either_o in_o this_o world_n or_o in_o the_o next_o that_o she_o have_v contrary_a affection_n in_o herself_o one_o fight_v against_o the_o other_o for_o the_o general_a inclination_n to_o her_o last_o good_a can_v never_o be_v root_v out_o and_o no_o vice_n can_v be_v but_o contrary_a to_o this_o inclination_n but_o if_o repentance_n be_v take_v for_o the_o revoke_v cancel_v or_o
