and_o his_o army_n which_o be_v innumerable_a sennacherib_n throughout_o all_o the_o whole_a world_n as_o the_o sand_n of_o the_o sea_n but_o we_o have_v speak_v enough_o of_o the_o lake_n it_o rest_v now_o to_o absolve_v the_o doubt_n which_o i_o have_v already_o begin_v forasmuch_o friend_n eusebius_n as_o you_o say_v that_o that_o hell_n and_o deep_a lake_n of_o which_o mention_v be_v make_v of_o it_o in_o the_o affertory_n for_o the_o dead_a be_v take_v for_o purgatory_n what_o do_v y_fw-fr signify_v which_o be_v speak_v off_o afterward_o deliver_v they_o from_o the_o lion_n mouth_n lest_o that_o hell_n do_v not_o devour_v they_o i_o believe_v the_o they_o understand_v by_o the_o lion_n none_o other_o but_o the_o dyvel_a who_o as_o s._n peter_n e_o witness_v be_v our_o enemy_n &_o walk_v about_o seek_v who_o he_o may_v devour_v but_o sith_o the_o the_o soul_n be_v separate_v from_o the_o body_n how_o can_v it_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o mouth_z of_o a'n_z roar_a &_o denour_v lion_n if_o the_o soul_n be_v of_o a_o reprobate_n which_o die_v out_o of_o y_fw-fr say_v of_o christ_n who_o shall_v deliver_v it_o from_o his_o throat_n when_o god_n have_v give_v it_o he_o and_o if_o it_o be_v of_o a_o faithful_a man_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o strong_a and_o invincible_a lion_n of_o the_o tribe_n of_o juda_n 5_o who_o have_v have_v the_o victory_n over_o that_o lion_n which_o be_v adversary_n and_o enemy_n unto_o god_n have_v he_o not_o already_o deliver_v it_o have_v not_o he_o kill_v and_o prohibit_v the_o mouth_n of_o that_o 35_o hungry_a lion_n as_o a_o true_a samson_n and_o david_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o he_o have_v no_o more_o tooth_n nor_o fang_n for_o to_o devour_v the_o childen_a of_o god_n who_o the_o lord_n jesus_n hold_v as_o the_o lion_n his_o prey_n to_o who_o none_o dare_v to_o come_v nigh_o as_o isaiah_n 4_o have_v write_v that_o the_o lord_n keep_v jerusalem_n and_o his_o elect_a people_n also_o i_o think_v it_o not_o much_o unmeet_a if_o we_o make_v such_o prayer_n for_o those_o that_o be_v a_o live_v the_o which_o jesus_n christ_n have_v teach_v we_o to_o pray_v and_o say_v and_o lead_v we_o not_o into_o temptation_n 2_o but_o deliver_v we_o from_o evil_a and_o he_o himself_o have_v make_v the_o prayer_n unto_o god_n his_o father_n for_o his_o disciple_n as_o 9_o witness_v saint_n john_n he_o say_v not_o i_o pray_v thou_o that_o thou_o will_v deliver_v they_o from_o evil_a after_o this_o life_n nor_o say_v i_o pray_v not_o that_o thou_o will_v take_v they_o out_o of_o the_o world_n 8_o but_o that_o thou_o will_v keep_v they_o from_o all_o evil_a also_o s._n peter_n do_v not_o exhort_v we_o to_o abstain_v from_o meat_n to_o be_v sober_a watch_n and_o pray_v and_o to_o arm_v we_o with_o faith_n against_o that_o roar_a lion_n for_o those_o that_o be_v dead_a but_o for_o ourselves_o doctrine_n while_o that_o we_o be_v a_o live_v to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v avoid_v his_o mouth_n for_o to_o come_v unto_o that_o holy_a light_n which_o he_o have_v promise_v unto_o abraham_n and_o unto_o his_o seed_n for_o according_a to_o your_o doctrine_n sith_o that_o the_o soul_n be_v separate_v from_o the_o body_n if_o man_n have_v not_o have_v here_o remission_n of_o his_o sin_n before_o his_o death_n he_o can_v have_v it_o after_o and_o if_o he_o have_v it_o in_o this_o life_n he_o go_v either_o into_o paradise_n or_o into_o purgatory_n if_o he_o be_v in_o paradise_n it_o be_v no_o more_o to_o be_v fear_v that_o hell_n can_v swallow_v he_o up_o if_o he_o be_v in_o purgatory_n although_o that_o according_a to_o your_o opinion_n he_o be_v in_o pain_n yet_o nevertheless_o you_o confess_v that_o he_o be_v past_o the_o danger_n of_o damnation_n and_o that_o he_o be_v sure_a of_o his_o salvation_n wherefore_o i_o understand_v not_o how_o that_o prayer_n can_v agree_v with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o ancient_a doctor_n &_o your_o own_o for_o you_o speak_v against_o yourself_o if_o that_o prayer_n do_v profit_v uncertain_a the_o soul_n of_o the_o dead_a in_o the_o other_o life_n it_o must_v then_o be_v that_o there_o be_v yet_o great_a

be_v not_o sad_a for_o that_o shall_v be_v stoic_a like_a and_o of_o man_n he_o will_v make_v stone_n and_o block_n of_o wood_n without_o any_o affection_n but_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n import_v not_o the_o same_o for_o although_o permit_v that_o the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n do_v correct_v and_o mortify_v the_o wicked_a affection_n of_o the_o flesh_n yet_o nevertheless_o it_o deprive_v nor_o spoil_v man_n from_o all_o human_a affection_n but_o amend_v only_o that_o which_o be_v vicious_a through_o the_o natural_a corruption_n proceed_v from_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o we_o can_v be_v wout_z dolour_n &_o sorrow_n although_o we_o will_v when_o we_o do_v see_v the_o affliction_n and_o misery_n of_o our_o brethren_n be_v of_o our_o flesh_n and_o blood_n the_o holy_a scripture_n have_v not_o condemn_v the_o sorrow_n and_o heaviness_n that_o abraham_n conceive_v ●_o for_o the_o death_n of_o sara_n his_o wife_n &_o isaac_n of_o his_o mother_n joseph_n of_o his_o father_n jacob_n the_o disciple_n of_o s._n john_n &_o of_o jesus_n christ_n &_o of_o we_o steven_n &_o of_o we_o james_n of_o the_o tear_n the_o they_o have_v shed_v &_o of_o the_o sorrow_n that_o they_o make_v for_o man_n can_v be_v man_n without_o be_v move_v to_o pity_n and_o compassion_n see_v the_o calamity_n of_o other_o &_o feel_v the_o damage_n that_o he_o himself_o receive_v therefore_o s._n paul_n speak_v very_o sharp_o when_o 13_o he_o say_v that_o the_o faithful_a shall_v not_o be_v sorrowful_a as_o the_o paynim_n and_o infidel_n who_o have_v no_o hope_n of_o the_o resurrection_n sith_o then_o that_o he_o condemn_v the_o do_n of_o the_o paynim_n we_o ought_v not_o to_o keep_v they_o except_o we_o will_v be_v rather_o count_v paynim_n then_o christian_n it_o ought_v then_o to_o suffice_v we_o to_o bury_v honest_o the_o body_n of_o the_o dead_a and_o to_o put_v they_o in_o the_o earth_n as_o in_o their_o bed_n tarry_v and_o look_v for_o the_o come_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o general_a resurrection_n of_o all_o flesh_n therefore_o the_o christian_n do_v call_v the_o place_n that_o be_v appoint_v for_o their_o burial_n cimiterium_fw-la because_o that_o it_o be_v as_o the_o bed_n couch_n and_o dortoire_fw-fr of_o the_o faithful_a that_o be_v dortoyr_n dead_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v good_a to_o have_v some_o

christ_n unto_o his_o honour_n and_o glory_n and_o dedicate_v unto_o the_o immortal_a inheritage_n of_o his_o kingdom_n if_o we_o do_v cast_v they_o to_o dog_n fowl_n and_o wild_a beast_n as_o she_o

their_o body_n ought_v to_o be_v more_o dear_a unto_o we_o and_o more_o join_v and_o knit_v unto_o we_o than_o their_o apparel_n as_o basile_n witness_v for_o that_o cause_n the_o patriarch_n and_o
