purgatory_n to_o heaven_n but_o supernatural_o they_o may_v if_o you_o mean_v by_o supernaturality_n the_o extraordinary_a power_n of_o god_n i_o agree_v with_o you_o and_o so_o our_o controversy_n will_v be_v at_o a_o end_n but_o if_o you_o mean_v any_o constant_a ordinary_a way_n appoint_v by_o god_n to_o effect_v that_o change_n before_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n i_o conceive_v it_o very_o reasonable_a some_o clear_a evidence_n be_v produce_v such_o as_o may_v warrant_v a_o opinion_n that_o by_o your_o own_o tenet_n so_o direct_o cross_v the_o course_n of_o nature_n when_o i_o see_v that_o you_o shall_v immediate_o find_v i_o most_o ready_a to_o submit_v till_o then_o i_o hope_v neither_o you_o nor_o any_o of_o my_o fierce_a opposer_n will_v have_v the_o least_o just_a cause_n to_o condemn_v i_o if_o after_o this_o you_o demand_v how_o shall_v we_o distinguish_v what_o the_o church_n or_o council_n teach_v to_o be_v believe_v as_o of_o faith_n from_o other_o doctrine_n promiscuous_o deliver_v first_o i_o do_v not_o remember_v this_o objection_n anywhere_o insist_v on_o by_o either_o of_o my_o late_a opponent_n and_o i_o be_o very_o slow_a to_o stir_v far_o than_o i_o be_o move_v and_o indeed_o think_v it_o inconvenient_a to_o start_v new_a game_n before_o we_o have_v hunt_v down_o the_o old_a second_o be_v not_o you_o oblige_v as_o well_o as_o i_o to_o provide_v a_o answer_n for_o such_o a_o question_n i_o be_o confident_a that_o the_o strict_a of_o you_o do_v not_o hold_v all_o that_o be_v teach_v in_o the_o church_n or_o define_v by_o council_n even_o in_o doctrine_n and_o manner_n be_v apostolical_a revelation_n if_o you_o agree_v with_o i_o so_o far_o why_o do_v you_o think_v i_o bind_v to_o sever_v the_o point_n of_o rigorous_a catholic_a faith_n from_o tenet_n of_o a_o inferior_a degree_n rather_o than_o yourselves_o where_o we_o be_v all_o indifferent_o concern_v why_o do_v you_o exact_v the_o performance_n from_o i_o alone_o as_o if_o it_o be_v not_o your_o duty_n as_o well_o as_o i_o not_o that_o i_o conceive_v it_o impossible_a to_o be_v do_v to_o full_a satisfaction_n but_o that_o i_o be_o no_o more_o engage_v to_o do_v
