such_o dross_n but_o till_o then_o remain_v in_o pain_n partly_o for_o their_o temporal_a loss_n by_o death_n but_o chief_o for_o their_o spiritual_a want_n be_v not_o able_a to_o attain_v bliss_n

in_o all_o this_o you_o talk_v not_o of_o burn_v or_o gnash_v of_o tooth_n or_o such_o corporeal_a pain_n which_o i_o have_v be_v teach_v be_v in_o hell_n and_o purgatory_n m._n these_o thing_n be_v

the_o just_a desire_n nothing_o but_o according_a to_o god_n will_n if_o so_o it_o seem_v your_o consequence_n because_o will_v not_o be_v very_o good_a but_o to_o make_v it_o so_o you_o must_v know_v natural_o a_o man_n desire_v every_o thing_n because_o it_o be_v good_a and_o good_a be_v as_o much_o as_o convenient_a to_o the_o desirer_n who_o be_v not_o only_o soul_n but_o body_n too_o wherefore_o if_o natural_a they_o desire_n can_v be_v frustrate_v or_o disappoint_v by_o god_n the_o author_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o desire_n of_o our_o life_n remain_v after_o death_n it_o follow_v that_o the_o desire_n of_o good_a to_o our_o person_n natural_a be_v natural_a and_o remain_v after_o death_n and_o therefore_o must_v needs_o be_v supply_v can_v you_o tell_v i_o how_o
