A89922	The Christian and Catholike veritie; or, The reasons and manner of the conversion of Francis de Neville; formerly a Capuchin, preacher, the Popes missionary, and superiour in sundry covents of the same order. A treatise very usefull for all Christians, and especially for such as are popishly affected, or not fully setled in their beliefe; and for the further confirmation of the faithfull. Wherein many secrets of the Romish clergy, heretofore unrevealed, are discovered. Dedicated by the author to the high court of Parliament now assembled, 1642. See the contents at the next page.	Neville, Francis de.; England and Wales. Parliament.	1642 (1642)	Wing N502; Thomason E144_15; ESTC R11352	153,461	187

and_o judge_n as_o for_o example_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o metamorphosis_n of_o ovid_n be_v not_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o produce_v a_o formal_a and_o clear_a

purgatory_n and_o so_o conclude_v that_o there_o be_v a_o purgatory_n i_o have_v grant_v that_o all_o which_o be_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v not_o clear_v nor_o easy_a to_o be_v understand_v but_o only_o that_o which_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o this_o passage_n be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o obscure_a and_o difficile_a in_o the_o scripture_n but_o not_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o yet_o the_o romish_a church_n will_v ground_v a_o article_n of_o faith_n upon_o it_o and_o the_o most_o strange_a and_o terrible_a of_o all_o and_o contrary_a to_o the_o bounty_n of_o god_n but_o he_o who_o will_v read_v the_o whole_a passage_n will_v easy_o judge_v that_o it_o must_v be_v understand_v in_o a_o allegorical_a sense_n and_o especial_o the_o word_n fire_n which_o st_n paul_n add_v on_o as_o by_o fire_n to_o show_v that_o it_o must_v be_v understand_v by_o similitude_n say_v he_o shall_v be_v save_v as_o by_o fire_n that_o be_v to_o say_v as_o if_o he_o have_v pass_v through_o the_o fire_n or_o be_v purge_v and_o purify_v by_o the_o fire_n even_o as_o we_o see_v the_o metal_n be_v purge_v by_o the_o fire_n and_o the_o furnace_n now_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n for_o ground_v this_o so_o important_a a_o doctrine_n which_o be_v so_o strange_a and_o difficile_a to_o be_v believe_v on_o such_o a_o doubtful_a foundation_n much_o less_o on_o metaphorical_a and_o allegorical_a and_o such_o word_n and_o it_o be_v evident_a from_o this_o passage_n that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v nothing_o that_o come_v mere_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o purgatory_n but_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o pastor_n and_o doctor_n who_o in_o teach_v retain_v the_o foundation_n which_o be_v christ_n on_o who_o some_o build_v wholesome_a and_o solid_a doctrine_n which_o in_o that_o place_n he_o term_v gold_n silver_n and_o precious_a stone_n other_o build_v light_a and_o vain_a doctrine_n call_v in_o that_o place_n wood_n hay_n and_o stubble_n and_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o those_o frivolous_a doctrine_n be_v try_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o metal_n by_o the_o fire_n shall_v not_o subsist_v and_o that_o the_o work_n of_o such_o a_o preacher_n shall_v perish_v and_o the_o trial_n shall_v make_v it_o know_v that_o there_o be_v no_o solidity_n but_o as_o for_o the_o person_n of_o the_o pastor_n he_o may_v be_v save_v because_o of_o the_o foundation_n jesus_n christ_n which_o he_o have_v hold_v be_v notwithstanding_o try_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o by_o fire_n so_o you_o see_v that_o it_o be_v there_o speak_v of_o a_o trial_n which_o be_v make_v in_o this_o life_n and_o not_o after_o death_n and_o also_o of_o a_o trial_n of_o the_o doctrine_n and_o belief_n of_o pastor_n by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o not_o of_o a_o torture_a of_o soul_n by_o fire_n so_o they_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o ground_n purgatory_n on_o this_o i_o know_v that_o this_o passage_n be_v obscure_a and_o hard_a have_v many_o divers_a explication_n but_o i_o believe_v every_o man_n of_o understanding_n will_v judge_v this_o the_o true_a and_o most_o conformable_a to_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o writer_n if_o he_o will_v but_o take_v the_o pain_n to_o consider_v it_o but_o howsoever_o it_o be_v obscure_a we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o apostle_n have_v preach_v a_o article_n of_o faith_n to_o we_o therein_o which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v more_o clear_o explain_v in_o any_o other_o place_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o if_o because_o there_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o fire_n in_o that_o place_n the_o fire_n of_o purgatory_n must_v be_v understand_v they_o may_v produce_v a_o infinite_a number_n of_o passage_n where_o purgatory_n may_v be_v find_v because_o there_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o fire_n in_o they_o take_v here_o another_o of_o as_o little_a strength_n our_o saviour_n speak_v in_o st._n matth._n 12.32_o of_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a spirit_n say_v 12.32_o matth._n 12.32_o he_o that_o shall_v blaspheme_v against_o the_o holy_a spirit_n it_o shall_v neither_o be_v pardon_v he_o in_o this_o life_n nor_o in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v this_o life_n to_o come_v say_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v proper_o the_o fire_n of_o purgatory_n and_o so_o there_o be_v purgatory_n but_o this_o doctrine_n do_v not_o even_o agree_v with_o that_o they_o teach_v of_o their_o purgatory_n for_o they_o say_v the_o sin_n be_v forgive_v before_o they_o enter_v into_o purgatory_n and_o that_o none_o go_v thither_o who_o be_v not_o receive_v in_o favour_n with_o god_n and_o so_o according_a to_o they_o no_o sin_n be_v pardon_v in_o purgatory_n now_o christ_n by_o those_o word_n which_o be_v also_o obscure_a and_o difficile_a to_o be_v understand_v do_v only_o exaggerate_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o say_v that_o he_o will_v not_o pardon_v it_o neither_o in_o this_o world_n nor_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n where_o the_o second_o condemnation_n be_v pronounce_v and_o so_o that_o he_o will_v punish_v they_o in_o this_o world_n and_o after_o death_n but_o there_o be_v no_o man_n who_o see_v not_o that_o this_o be_v too_o far_o distant_a from_o the_o doctrine_n of_o purgatory_n to_o ground_v a_o article_n of_o faith_n upon_o it_o you_o see_v nevertheless_o the_o clear_a thing_n which_o they_o produce_v take_v out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o establish_v the_o purgatory_n and_o that_o so_o terrible_a doctrine_n where_o you_o may_v perceive_v the_o small_a reason_n and_o little_a probability_n thereof_o but_o behold_v here_o other_o far_o clear_a and_o manifest_a proof_n draw_v from_o the_o holy_a scripture_n against_o purgatory_n christ_n say_v to_o the_o thief_n who_o implore_v his_o
