for the Martyres as they did for other people who dy'd because they knew that they did not want their payers but they wanted the Martyres â—rayers and in his 29. Ser of the Saints speaking of St Peter's Miracles he sayes thus If then the shadow of his body coul'd relieve how much more now the plenitude of his vertue If then a certain noise of him passing â—prevaic'd to these who beseech'd him â—â— much 〈◊〉 â—his 〈◊〉 graâ—s â—f the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 he may see â—ore of St 〈◊〉 Aâ—thorities 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Vâ—rbis Aposâ—oli â—â— his 〈◊〉 Qâ—â—◠〈◊〉 his book 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 c.

â—â—reâ—d in the Bishopâ— of Euâ—â—ps 〈◊〉 to â—â—eo the Empâ—â—â—r 〈…〉 in the â—ater end of this Council that they declar'd themselves to acknowledge that holy Proâ—erius was register'd in the Cathologue of Marty res that they beg'd God Almighty to be favourable mercifull to themselves thro' his intercessioÌ„ all which Authorityes do evideÌ„tly make out that the Catholicks of the Primitive Church where accustom'd to invocate Saints Chap. 10 Proving that Purgatory was believ'd by those of the Primitive Church For the better intelligence of this point let the reader know that altho' the sinners crime is forgiveÌ„ yet the sinner under gose some temporal punishment as is manifest Numb c. 12. v 1. 2 10 14 where we read that when the sin of murmuring was forgiven to Mary by Moses intercession yet in punishment thereof she had the leprofie for the speace of seven dayes and was oblig'd to levâ— the whole camp during that time When the Israelites sinn'd against God and offer'd to rebel against Moses tho' their sinnes â—eâ—e forgiven thro' the Lord's infinite mercy and by the intercession of Moses yet in punishmeÌ„t of their crime several of them dy'd in the wilderness and never â—as admited to come to the land of promise Num â— 14 v. 19. 20 â—â— â— 24 3 7. also when David sinn'd against the Lord his crime was forgiven but in punishment thereof his son dy'd the â— book of Kings â— 12 v 13 14 18 finally we read in St Paul's first Epist to the Cormthians â— 11 v 30 that several of the Cormthians were mortifi'd by the Lord and also that some of them dy'd because they receiv'd unworthily the holy Sacrament but then their sins has been forgiven as is evident by the 32 v where St. Paul sayes the following words but when we are judg'd we 〈◊〉 chastized by the Lord that we shu'd not be condemn'd â—hereby the reader may plainly 〈◊〉 that God dose not 〈◊〉 the punishment as 〈…〉 forgiven the 〈…〉 â—emency and infinite mercy changes that eternal punishment into some temporal affliction 〈◊〉 if the sinner dose not undergo in this world he must suffeâ— for it after his dâ—ath before ever he shall enter into the KiÌ„gdom of â—eaven for nonâ— is receiv'd there untill he is even as clean fâ—om all manner of sin and fault as he was immediatly after his Baptism as witnesseth that of Iohn 〈◊〉 c 21. v 27 This presuppos'd I may lawfully inferr that therâ— must be some place of temporâ—l punishment â—â— order to purifie and cleanse nosâ—â—ouls who doe not perform 〈…〉 world and 〈…〉 sins to which â—ternal punishmeÌ„t is not due for it wou'd be a most uÌ„reasonable thig of us to believe that he who immediatly has been in the state of grace and dyes suddenly after speaking an idle word or committing some other smal offence shu'd be oblig'd to everlasting torments even as he who suddenly dyes without any kind of repentance after committing murder adultry or some other great crime therefore being he cannot inter the into heaven by reason of that small offence he must go to some other place untill he is purâ—â—i'd which I shall prove by the following argument what ever the old and new Testament the holy Fathers and Doctors of the Primitive Church several Councils true and wonderfull revelations affirms ought to be believ'd by all Christians but the old and new Testament the holy Fathers and Doctors of the Primitive Church several Councils true and wonderfull revelation affirms that which the Church of Rome calls Purgatory to be a place of temporal punishment wherin some souls are chastiz'd and purifi'd after leÌ„ving this world therefore Purgatory ought to be believ'd by all Christians the consequence is evident â—s we shall see hereafter and the major cannot be deny'd by any true Christian as for the minnor I will prove it after the same order wâ—ereiâ—â—â—'s fâ—â—â—'d therefore I â—ill begâ—n 〈◊〉 the Auâ—â—oâ—â—es of the old Testament We finâ— in the 6â— Psâ—â—â— which is the 〈◊〉 â—n the 〈◊〉 English 〈◊〉 3. 〈◊〉 in 〈◊〉 â—18 〈◊〉 O

tâ—e Lord that haâ—e wash'd away the 〈◊〉 of the daâ—gâ—â—ers of zion shall have puâ—g'd the bloâ—d of Jerusalem from the â—idâ—t the â—o by the spirit of jugedment and by the spirit of burning Isaih c. 4. v 3. and 4. which text according to St. Augustin in his 20th book of the City of God c. 25. mâ—â—ns the releasment â—hich souls do get from the burning fire of Purgatory Micah c. 7. v. 7. 8. and 9 â— will look unto the Lord. I will wait for the God of my salvation my God will heare me rejoice not against me O! mine enemy when I fall I shall arise when I sit in darknesse the Lord shall be light onto me I will beare the indignatioÌ„ of the Lord because I have sinn'd against him untill he plead my case and execute judgement for me he will bring me forth to the light and I shall behold his righteousnesse Which words as St. Hierome affirms in his commentary on the last c. of I saiah means the releasment of those souls who do suffer in Purgatory fire Zechariah c. 9. v 11. you also by the blood of they covenant have brought forth your prisoners out of the pâ—t wherein there is no water Sâ— Peteâ— speakïg of those Prisoneâ—s in his 〈◊〉 Ep. c. 3. v. 18. 19 20 sayes thus for christ also hath once suffer'd for sins the just for the unjust that he might briÌ„g us to God beiâ—g put to death in the flesh but quickened by the spirit by which also he went and preach'd unto the spirits in prison which sometimes were disobedâ—ent when once the long suffering of God waited in the dayes of Noah while
