A08680	Antidote against purgatory. Or discourse, wherein is shewed that good-workes, and almes-deeds, performed in the name of Christ, are a chiefe meanes for the preuenting, or migatating the torments of purgatory.

be_v yet_o another_o thing_n most_o worthy_a of_o your_o charitable_a commiseration_n you_o see_v that_o the_o catholic_n throughout_o england_n pay_v yearly_o great_a sum_n of_o money_n for_o their_o

to_o be_v torment_v almost_o with_o incredible_a punishment_n now_o here_o we_o will_v declare_v the_o fruit_n which_o may_v be_v gather_v from_o this_o consideration_n and_o certain_o it_o can_v be_v

another_o judge_n or_o by_o humble_o beseech_v the_o mercy_n of_o the_o judge_n or_o by_o some_o other_o mean_n he_o may_v free_v himself_o in_o some_o measure_n from_o the_o vexation_n with_o which_o he_o be_v environ_v but_o alas_o in_o purgatory_n the_o soul_n can_v do_v nothing_o but_o only_o patient_o suffer_v their_o punishment_n true_a it_o be_v that_o holy_a man_n live_v here_o on_o earth_n may_v pray_v for_o the_o dead_a may_v offer_v up_o alm_n and_o other_o satisfactory_a work_n for_o the_o soul_n in_o purgatory_n but_o this_o privilege_n be_v not_o grant_v to_o the_o soul_n themselves_o be_v in_o purgatory_n except_o by_o a_o certain_a privilege_n to_o some_o few_o and_o this_o most_o rare_o to_o wit_n to_o appear_v to_o live_a man_n and_o to_o beseech_v aid_n and_o

suggest_v that_o few_o be_v those_o soul_n who_o come_v to_o purgatory_n and_o therefore_o the_o punishment_n there_o inflict_v be_v not_o much_o to_o be_v apprehend_v but_o in_o a_o sort_n to_o be_v slight_v and_o small_o regard_v but_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o soul_n which_o lie_v cruciate_v &_o torment_v in_o purgatory_n be_v innumerable_a and_o so_o many_o as_o that_o the_o number_n of_o they_o be_v sufficient_a to_o move_v and_o stir_v up_o mercy_n though_o their_o torment_n be_v far_o more_o easy_a and_o light_a this_o be_v evident_a see_v we_o be_v instruct_v a_o
