to_o penitent_a sinner_n in_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n for_o it_o be_v a_o contradiction_n to_o the_o notion_n of_o goodness_n among_o man_n to_o inflict_v such_o terrible_a punishment_n in_o

deliver_v we_o from_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n what_o security_n be_v this_o to_o a_o sinner_n yes_o you_o will_v say_v christ_n have_v redeem_v we_o from_o eternal_a though_o not_o from_o temporal_a punishment_n and_o therefore_o penitent_a sinner_n shall_v not_o be_v eternal_o damn_v this_o he_o put_v down_o as_o a_o misrepresentation_n p._n 67._o and_o say_v p._n 73._o that_o christ_n true_o obtain_v remission_n from_o all_o temporal_a as_o well_o as_o eternal_a pain_n and_o that_o whoever_o be_v regenerate_v by_o baptism_n he_o not_o only_o be_v not_o adjudge_v to_o

unless_o man_n sin_n after_o baptism_n they_o be_v neither_o in_o danger_n of_o hell_n nor_o purgatory_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v evident_a they_o deny_v that_o christ_n have_v expiate_v the_o temporal_a punishment_n due_a to_o sin_n either_o in_o this_o world_n or_o in_o purgatory_n for_o if_o he_o have_v there_o be_v a_o end_n both_o of_o the_o popish_a sacrament_n of_o penance_n and_o purgatory_n and_o if_o christ_n by_o his_o death_n have_v expiate_v the_o temporal_a punishment_n of_o sin_n i_o will_v desire_v to_o know_v why_o the_o temporal_a punishment_n of_o sin_n be_v not_o as_o well_o remit_v by_o the_o sacrament_n of_o penance_n as_o by_o baptism_n since_o the_o expiation_n of_o christ_n blood_n as_o they_o pretend_v be_v apply_v to_o we_o in_o both_o and_o therefore_o this_o be_v a_o mere_a fallacy_n for_o though_o a_o sinner_n in_o baptism_n be_v deliver_v from_o all_o punishment_n due_a to_o sin_n yet_o he_o be_v not_o in_o a_o proper_a sense_n deliver_v from_o what_o they_o call_v the_o temporal_a punishment_n of_o sin_n for_o there_o be_v no_o such_o punishment_n due_a to_o sin_n before_o baptism_n hell_n not_o purgatory_n be_v the_o punishment_n of_o all_o sin_n before_o baptism_n and_o therefore_o a_o baptize_v person_n be_v deliver_v by_o christ_n from_o hell_n which_o be_v the_o only_a punishment_n due_a to_o sin_n before_o baptism_n and_o if_o he_o die_v before_o he_o commit_v any_o actual_a sin_n after_o baptism_n he_o escape_v purgatory_n and_o go_v immediate_o to_o heaven_n not_o because_o christ_n death_n have_v deliver_v he_o from_o the_o

of_o penance_n for_o there_o man_n complete_a the_o expiation_n of_o their_o sin_n by_o endure_v the_o pain_n of_o purgatory_n which_o be_v want_v to_o perfect_v their_o penance_n in_o this_o world._n and_o therefore_o baptism_n do_v not_o remit_v the_o temporal_a punishment_n of_o sin_n because_o there_o be_v none_o due_a till_o man_n sin_n after_o baptism_n it_o can_v no_o more_o remit_v the_o

the_o pain_n of_o penance_n and_o then_o farewell_n penance_n and_o purgatory_n together_o and_o this_o very_a bottom_n our_o jesuit_n set_v it_o on_o p._n 75._o where_o he_o tell_v we_o those_o who_o

the_o promise_n of_o forgiveness_n do_v not_o include_v both_o nay_o that_o god_n can_v forgive_v both_o that_o god_n can_v only_o forgive_v eternal_a punishment_n but_o the_o sinner_n himself_o
