not_o find_v out_o your_o gentleman_n will_v draw_v that_o st._n austin_n say_v that_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o their_o opinion_n be_v false_a but_o only_o that_o it_o may_v lie_v hide_v and_o

and_o if_o the_o question_n be_v not_o solve_v which_o be_v the_o solution_n to_o lie_v hide_v be_v not_o both_o part_n hide_v and_o not_o only_o one_o so_o that_o this_o answer_n be_v express_o against_o the_o text._n 3._o his_o other_o solution_n be_v no_o less_o either_o against_o the_o text_n or_o unreasonable_a for_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o mere_a puzzle_n and_o not_o a_o answer_n for_o what_o matter_n be_v it_o whether_o the_o object_n be_v lawful_a or_o unlawful_a if_o this_o be_v confess_v that_o the_o affection_n be_v sinful_a therefore_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o sin_n in_o purgatory_n be_v short_a and_o long_o punish_v according_a to_o their_o gravity_n for_o let_v he_o look_v whether_o st._n austi●_n speak_v of_o the_o

disgrace_v the_o catholic_n cause_n then_o help_v it_o by_o so_o poor_a a_o discourse_n therefore_o i_o can_v conclude_v no_o otherwise_o then_o that_o your_o divine_a give_v st._n austin_n fair_o the_o lie_n to_o his_o face_n see_v that_o where_o he_o profess_v express_o he_o do_v not_o know_v nor_o that_o it_o have_v as_o yet_o be_v bring_v in_o question_n whether_o in_o purgatory_n some_o

it_o be_v true_a he_o say_v the_o soul_n be_v help●_n by_o prayer_n which_o be_v the_o position_n common_a to_o we_o both_o but_o then_o when_o be_v your_o divine_n liberality_n who_o i_o find_v

we_o by_o tradition_n likewise_o there_o be_v no_o question_n whether_o these_o torment_n begin_v before_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n or_o at_o the_o very_a hour_n of_o our_o death_n but_o whether_o they_o end_v before_o that_o day_n nor_o likewise_o do_v we_o question_v whether_o they_o be_v purge_v after_o resurrection_n for_o our_o position_n be_v that_o resurrection_n be_v the_o end_n of_o their_o torment_n but_o these_o i_o easy_o pardon_v he_o for_o i_o easy_o apprehend_v he_o understand_v not_o full_o my_o opinion_n wherefore_o to_o talk_v to_o he_o in_o his_o own_o language_n let_v he_o compare_v a_o instans_fw-la angelicum_fw-la to_o the_o time_n it_o dure_v for_o example_n sake_n some_o grief_n that_o in_o a_o soul_n will_v be_v purge_v to_o the_o time_n which_o run_v

put_v to_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o pain_n of_o purgatory_n by_o which_o you_o will_v understand_v how_o far_o he_o look_v awry_o to_o say_v we_o put_v no_o purge_n before_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n but_o all_o at_o or_o after_o it_o 6._o yet_o be_v he_o content_a to_o abuse_v st._n austin_n in_o a_o small_a matter_n we_o have_v reason_n to_o have_v patience_n his_o insolency_n grow_v so_o high_a as_o to_o condemn_v he_o of_o no_o less_o than_o blasphemy_n read_v in_o his_o five_o number_n after_o he_o have_v tell_v we_o that_o st._n austin_n speak_v of_o spirit_n be_v purge_v before_o they_o receive_v their_o body_n not_o distinguish_v betwixt_o purge_v and_o be_v purge_v which_o late_a st._n austin_n speak_v not_o of_o he_o add_v to_o make_v it_o more_o evident_a that_o he_o speak_v of_o a_o purgation_n whole_o end_v and_o dispatch_v before_o any_o one_o resume_v their_o body_n and_o tell_v that_o st._n austin_n move_v the_o question_n if_o any_o die_v so_o immediate_o before_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n that_o there_o be_v not_o time_n enough_o for_o prayer_n to_o be_v say_v for_o they_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o they_o and_o st._n augustine_n resolution_n he_o do_v not_o let_v we_o know_v but_o he_o press_v that_o st._n austin_n require_v time_n that_o they_o may_v be_v cleanse_v before_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n to_o which_o be_v answer_v i_o see_v well_o that_o the_o objection_n seem_v to_o do_v so_o but_o why_o the_o objection_n st._n austin_n make_v shall_v be_v take_v for_o his_o doctrine_n i_o do_v not_o know_v and_o if_o i_o be_v to_o answer_v the_o question_n i_o shall_v doubt_v whether_o the_o great_a persecution_n of_o antichrist_n time_n and_o the_o wonder_n of_o the_o die_a world_n can_v stand_v with_o that_o tepidity_n which_o carry_v man_n to_o purgatory_n but_o what_o say_v your_o great_a divine_a he_o tell_v we_o st._n austin_n stand_v in_o doubt_n whether_o a_o man_n who_o die_v then_o in_o the_o state_n of_o be_v to_o be_v purge_v shall_v not_o be_v damn_v if_o there_o want_v time_n to_o purge_v he_o that_o be_v that_o st._n austin_n be_v of_o mind_n that_o a_o venial_a sin_n become_v a_o mortal_a one_o by_o a_o extrinsical_a accident_n that_o change_v nothing_o in_o the_o soul._n can_v you_o take_v this_o man_n either_o to_o be_v a_o solid_a divine_a or_o to_o bear_v any_o
the_o explication_n and_o deduction_n of_o my_o opinion_n and_o i_o do_v not_o think_v my_o adversary_n will_v quarrel_v at_o much_o of_o this_o not_o that_o i_o think_v they_o to_o be_v his_o opinion_n but_o because_o partly_o he_o know_v they_o to_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o other_o divine_n and_o partly_o they_o be_v so_o rational_a that_o any_o sensible_a man_n will_v condemn_v he_o at_o first_o sight_n now_o therefore_o it_o be_v time_n to_o lay_v down_o the_o adversary_n opinion_n as_o i_o apprehend_v it_o leave_v he_o all_o liberty_n to_o explicate_v himself_o in_o what_o i_o shall_v miss_v in_o at_o his_o own_o pleasure_n 13._o you_o must_v know_v therefore_o that_o the_o scripture_n preach_v the_o doctrine_n i_o have_v lay_v down_o minutely_o and_o philosophical_o in_o few_o and_o metaphorical_a term_n they_o represent_v you_o god_n like_o a_o man-law-giver_n tell_v you_o that_o he_o have_v lay_v up_o fire_n for_o those_o who_o will_v not_o obey_v in_o the_o next_o world_n my_o adversary_n take_v this_o as_o a_o word_n and_o a_o blow_n and_o conceive_v that_o sin_n be_v a_o action_n to_o which_o punishment_n be_v due_a of_o its_o own_o nature_n and_o that_o god_n shall_v not_o be_v just_a if_o he_o do_v not_o bestow_v it_o on_o the_o sinner_n so_o that_o they_o put_v the_o relation_n between_o sin_n and_o punishment_n and_o both_o they_o to_o god_n nor_o will_v they_o hear_v that_o this_o follow_v out_o of_o the_o order_n of_o cause_n which_o be_v set_v for_o the_o carry_v of_o mankind_n to_o heaven_n that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o proportion_n natural_a of_o the_o sin_n and_o punishment_n but_o that_o god_n appoint_v what_o punishment_n he_o think_v best_o after_o this_o they_o put_v that_o the_o three_o condition_n or_o name_n of_o the_o virtue_n of_o every_o action_n be_v three_o divers_a virtue_n or_o quality_n whereof_o one_o concern_v not_o the_o other_o or_o at_o least_o may_v be_v separable_a so_o that_o the_o action_n may_v be_v meritorious_a and_o yet_o neither_o impetrate_v nor_o satisfy_v likewise_o may_v be_v impetrative_a but_o not_o satisfactory_a and_o may_v be_v satisfactory_a without_o impetration_n or_o merit_n and_o hence_o they_o say_v some_o saint_n have_v have_v action_n both_o meritorious_a and_o impetrative_a that_o satisfy_v for_o nothing_o or_o little_a because_o they_o owe_v little_a or_o little_a pain_n be_v due_a to_o their_o offence_n whence_o it_o come_v that_o there_o be_v great_a heap_n of_o action_n as_o they_o be_v satisfactory_a lay_v up_o in_o the_o treasure_n of_o the_o church_n and_o that_o the_o pope_n have_v the_o power_n to_o take_v what_o quantity_n seem_v to_o he_o fit_v and_o to_o p●e●ent_v it_o to_o god_n fo●_n the_o s●ns_n of_o live_v or_o dead_a and_o that_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o accept_v of_o it_o for_o the_o debt_n or_o pain_n of_o such_o man_n or_o soul_n whereas_o my_o say_n be_v that_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o saint_n give_v the_o church_n and_o the_o pope_n all_o power_n and_o virtue_n to_o relax_v sin_n and_o punishment_n always_o that_o be_v for_o the_o church_n good_a this_o i_o understand_v to_o be_v the_o

and_o i_o tell_v he_o on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o he_o put_v no_o torment_n in_o purgatory_n but_o that_o i_o put_v the_o very_a same_o i_o confess_v this_o proposition_n be_v a_o very_a bold_a one_o for_o i_o know_v not_o how_o absurd_o he_o may_v talk_v of_o those_o pain_n but_o in_o hope_n he_o speak_v as_o common_o his_o fellow_n do_v i_o venture_v upon_o this_o affirmation_n 2._o to_o make_v which_o good_a i_o distinguish_v between_o the_o torment_n and_o the_o instrument_n of_o the_o torment_n as_o to_o say_v burn_v be_v the_o torment_n fire_v the_o instrument_n by_o which_o the_o

other_o torment_n than_o act_v of_o the_o will_n which_o they_o call_v grief_n now_o the_o question_n be_v of_o soul_n in_o purgatory_n that_o be_v holy_a soul_n i_o can_v imagine_v they_o will_v put_v they_o to_o be_v of_o other_o object_n than_o such_o as_o deserve_v grief_n as_o of_o their_o sin_n of_o the_o want_n of_o ●lory_n and_o such_o like_a now_o all_o these_o i_o put_v in_o the_o

of_o the_o question_n you_o be_v therefore_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o two_o famous_a proposition_n in_o antiquity_n which_o modern_a use_n have_v much_o relinquish_v the_o one_o be_v that_o in_o the_o primitive_a church_n the_o day_n of_o judgement_n be_v hot_o propose_v to_o christian_n as_o in_o which_o both_o reward_n and_o punishment_n be_v to_o be_v expect_v whereas_o now_o adays_o all_o

be_v depute_v for_o the_o purge_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o need_v purgation_n this_o purge_n be_v by_o the_o saint_n general_o take_v to_o be_v do_v by_o fire_n &_o therefore_o of_o the_o last_o conflagration_n and_o other_o purge_n we_o hear_v not_o of_o until_o private_a revelation_n take_v authority_n to_o build_v divinity_n new_a principle_n since_o which_o time_n almost_o all_o the_o
