cold_a conjecture_n now_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o infallible_a verity_n will_v not_o that_o we_o shall_v build_v the_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n upon_o conjecture_n but_o upon_o the_o express_a verity_n for_o sith_o that_o he_o and_o his_o apostle_n do_v witness_v that_o they_o have_v manife_v 20_o all_o that_o which_o be_v necessary_a to_o our_o salvation_n &_o have_v commend_v to_o we_o so_o much_o the_o love_n towards_o our_o brother_n it_o be_v not_o like_a to_o be_v true_a but_o be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o witness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o they_o have_v speak_v unto_o we_o so_o obscure_o &_o have_v give_v unto_o we_o only_o some_o conjecture_n of_o this_o matter_n and_o of_o the_o love_n that_o we_o owe_v unto_o the_o dead_a the_o which_o the_o priest_n do_v wrest_v it_o more_o then_o that_o which_o be_v due_a unto_o those_o that_o be_v live_v hillarius_n because_o that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v speak_v so_o obscure_o therefore_o they_o will_v make_v commentary_n &_o gloss_n for_o to_o declare_v it_o because_o that_o it_o bring_v unto_o they_o more_o profit_n thomas_n thou_o have_v open_v a_o place_n theophilus_n of_o which_o i_o will_v glad_o be_v resolve_v that_o be_v to_o say_v dead_a of_o the_o preach_n to_o the_o dead_a for_o to_o tell_v the_o truth_n i_o have_v oftentimes_o dream_v &_o muse_v after_o it_o because_o that_o i_o consider_v y_fw-fr according_a to_o the_o witness_n of_o the_o scripture_n n●ne_o 35●_n can_v have_v salvation_n but_o through_o the_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n now_o if_o we_o do_v compare_v those_o which_o have_v know_v jesus_n christ_n and_o have_v believe_v in_o he_o with_o those_o which_o have_v not_o believe_v and_o which_o have_v never_o hear_v he_o speak_v the_o number_n of_o those_o here_o shall_v be_v very_o little_a in_o respect_n of_o other_o wherefore_o it_o follow_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o merua●lous_a number_n of_o the_o damn_a &_o that_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n shall_v not_o be_v so_o great_a as_o his_o rigour_n &_o judgement_n now_o it_o be_v strange_a to_o man_n reason_n to_o judge_v that_o god_n will_v damn_v so_o many_o chie●●y_o sith_o you_o he_o have_v have_v as_o many_o which_o have_v not_o know_v jesus_n christ_n for_o want_v that_o one_o have_v not_o show_v he_o unto_o they_o wherefore_o i_o think_v that_o the_o opinion_n of_o those_o here_o be_v not_o much_o out_o of_o reason_n and_o i_o will_v glad_o know_v what_o place_n they_o can_v have_v of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o to_o prove_v it_o for_o i_o will_v accord_v and_o agree_v almost_o soon_o to_o that_o then_o to_o the_o opinion_n of_o purgatory_n theophilus_n thou_o have_v move_v a_o question_n the_o which_o can_v be_v express_v and_o absolve_v in_o few_o word_n for_o we_o must_v first_o declare_v what_o knowledge_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v necessary_a unto_o salvation_n and_o how_o it_o have_v be_v always_o preach_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n among_o all_o people_n &_o nation_n and_o how_o it_o have_v be_v sufficient_o manifest_v unto_o the_o elect_a for_o their_o salvation_n &_o to_o the_o reprobate_n for_o their_o condemnation_n insomuch_o that_o they_o be_v all_o inexcusable_a &_o they_o can_v allege_v ignorance_n sufficient_a for_o to_o excuse_v they_o and_o it_o be_v not_o needful_a that_o they_o have_v any_o more_o preach_v after_o this_o life_n but_o i_o have_v rather_o that_o we_o will_v omit_v and_o leave_v off_o that_o matter_n until_o a_o other_o time_n that_o we_o may_v speak_v more_o ample_o of_o it_o and_o better_a to_o satisfy_v the_o question_n which_o be_v make_v daily_o touch_v the_o salvation_n or_o damnation_n of_o our_o predecessor_n which_o have_v live_v in_o error_n and_o ignorance_n yet_o nevertheless_o because_o that_o the_o place_n which_o we_o have_v accustom_v to_o allege_v for_o y_fw-es preach_v to_o the_o dead_a may_v also_o serve_v to_o the_o matter_n at_o this_o present_a time_n i_o be_o content_v y_fw-mi we_o do_v entreat_v of_o they_o for_o to_o declare_v that_o they_o be_v not_o firm_a enough_o for_o to_o prove_v the_o same_o nor_o the_o limb_n nor_o purgatory_n in_o like_a manner_n to_o which_o the_o other_o will_v make_v they_o serve_v but_o for_o that_o that_o it_o may_v be_v that_o eusebus_n do_v put_v they_o forth_o amongst_o his_o defence_n it_o be_v better_a that_o we_o do_v delay_v that_o matter_n until_o such_o time_n as_o he_o bring_v it_o in_o by_o course_n in_o follow_v his_o matter_n by_o order_n or_o if_o be_v do_v it_o not_o thou_o may_v put_v i_o in_o remembrance_n thomas_n yet_o nevertheless_o before_o that_o eusebius_n pursue_v the_o other_o place_n that_o he_o have_v determine_v to_o put_v forth_o or_o open_v i_o will_v propound_v unto_o he_o a_o argument_n concern_v the_o point_n of_o which_o we_o have_v entreat_v off_o that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o the_o remission_n &_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o other_o world_n whereupon_o i_o demand_v of_o thou_o eusebius_n when_o jesus_n christ_n do_v give_v the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n unto_o his_o church_n as_o well_o in_o you_o person_n of_o s._n peter_n as_o unto_o all_o y_fw-es church_n general_o &_o that_o he_o declare_v the_o power_n of_o they_o &_o of_o the_o ecclesiastical_a ministry_n have_v he_o not_o say_v namely_o that_o which_o thou_o shall_v 18_o bind_v in_o earth_n shall_v be_v bind_v in_o heaven_n &_o that_o which_o thou_o shall_v loose_v in_o earth_n shall_v be_v loose_v in_o heaven_n he_o say_v not_o that_o which_o thou_o shall_v bind_v or_o unbind_v in_o heaven_n or_o in_o purgatory_n or_o in_o hell_n or_o in_o the_o other_o world_n or_o in_o the_o other_o life_n and_o in_o a_o other_o earth_n but_o speak_v of_o this_o here_o in_o the_o which_o the_o key_n have_v be_v give_v &_o in_o the_o which_o the_o euangelical_n ministry_n have_v his_o vigour_n and_o strength_n i_o will_v not_o reiterate_v that_o that_o you_o say_v of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o fault_n &_o pain_n for_o all_o that_o be_v against_o you_o but_o i_o think_v that_o the_o pope_n and_o those_o that_o have_v receive_v the_o power_n of_o he_o do_v very_o evil_a understand_v their_o office_n willing_a to_o extend_v and_o stretch_v the_o power_n of_o their_o key_n pardon_n and_o indulgence_n unto_o dead_a the_o other_o world_n and_o unto_o the_o dead_a which_o have_v their_o estate_n a_o part_n and_o separate_v from_o we_o and_o be_v no_o more_o under_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v in_o earth_n which_o have_v not_o to_o regard_v but_o on_o the_o live_n eusebius_n alexander_n of_o alice_n &_o gabriel_n biel_n have_v very_o well_o satisfy_v in_o objection_n for_o they_o do_v sexa_fw-la answer_v

as_o of_o the_o monk_n which_o be_v dead_a to_o the_o world_n in_o some_o point_n world_n but_o not_o in_o other_o some_o they_o be_v dead_a to_o the_o world_n as_o to_o that_o that_o they_o do_v

a_o people_n which_o do_v better_o live_v in_o the_o world_n nor_o which_o be_v more_o of_o the_o world_n even_o so_o shall_v it_o be_v of_o the_o dead_a they_o shall_v be_v dead_a to_o we_o for_o

bring_v of_o those_o child_n when_o they_o will_v not_o give_v they_o to_o drink_v as_o they_o will_v nor_o give_v they_o that_o they_o demand_v the_o devil_n of_o miracle_n that_o you_o shall_v have_v three_o day_n those_o be_v yet_o live_v who_o hear_v it_o who_o can_v witness_v the_o truth_n wherefore_o i_o do_v conclude_v that_o the_o old_a woman_n do_v the_o miracle_n and_o not_o our_o

she_o have_v some_o pity_n but_o herein_o stand_v the_o question_n that_o when_o the_o child_n that_o be_v raise_v must_v be_v bury_v then_o have_v he_o somewhat_o to_o do_v for_o he_o must_v pay_v four_o or_o five_o groat_n for_o the_o burial_n and_o i_o believe_v that_o he_o have_v not_o four_o farthing_n for_o to_o pay_v his_o charge_n and_o expense_n nevertheless_o he_o can_v never_o agree_v with_o the_o priest_n but_o be_v constrain_v to_o carry_v his_o child_n to_o orb_n or_o otherwise_o he_o must_v bury_v he_o in_o the_o raw_a earth_n for_o he_o can_v never_o have_v one_o foot_n of_o

if_o that_o time_n have_v continue_v any_o long_a space_n we_o shall_v have_v be_v constrain_v not_o to_o die_v for_o want_v of_o bury_v it_o be_v a_o marvellous_a case_n that_o that_o poor_a little_a

enough_o for_o he_o we_o may_v very_o well_o say_v that_o of_o our_o priest_n which_o photion_n say_a of_o the_o athemans_n a_o little_a before_o his_o death_n photion_n when_o they_o have_v condemn_v
