A42574	The primitive fathers no papists in answer to the Vindication of the Nubes testium : to which is added an historical discourse concerning invocation of saints, in answer to the challenge of F. Sabran the Jesuit, wherein is shewn that invocation of saints was so far from being the practice, that it was expresly [sic] against the doctrine of the primitive fathers.	Gee, Edward, 1657-1730.	1688 (1688)	Wing G459; ESTC R18594	102,715	146

pray_v for_o they_o in_o a_o state_n of_o comfort_n joy_n and_o tranquillity_n if_o our_o compiler_n be_v not_o convince_v also_o by_o what_o i_o have_v prove_v here_o that_o there_o be_v real_o no_o

and_o darkness_n betwixt_o torment_n and_o pleasure_n i_o must_v tell_v he_o that_o i_o will_v never_o have_v any_o further_a to_o do_v with_o a_o adversary_n that_o be_v obstinate_a and_o resolute_a not_o to_o be_v overcome_v and_o therefore_o resolve_v not_o to_o be_v persuade_v i_o question_v not_o but_o this_o account_n of_o purgatory_n that_o i_o have_v give_v from_o such_o unquestionable_a authority_n in_o their_o church_n will_v not_o little_o discompose_v the_o compiler_n not_o only_o because_o it_o will_v ruin_v all_o he_o contend_v for_o about_o purgatory_n in_o his_o vindication_n but_o for_o a_o near_o concern_v because_o it_o show_v that_o the_o compiler_n in_o give_v such_o a_o contrary_a account_n of_o purgatory_n in_o his_o vindication_n either_o do_v not_o know_v the_o doctrine_n of_o his_o own_o church_n about_o purgatory_n or_o do_v dissemble_v it_o the_o first_o of_o which_o make_v he_o unable_a the_o second_o unfit_a to_o write_v about_o these_o thing_n since_o

have_v already_o demonstrate_v about_o the_o romish_a purgatory_n inconsistency_n with_o any_o opinion_n of_o the_o primitive_a father_n touch_v the_o state_n of_o the_o faithful_a decease_a ought_v just_o to_o supersede_n all_o further_a controversy_n with_o the_o compiler_n about_o purgatory_n yet_o since_o he_o offer_v something_o further_a in_o defence_n of_o himself_o and_o his_o church_n i_o will_v consider_v it_o brief_o he_o say_v the_o primitive_a father_n do_v believe_v three_o state_n of_o man_n go_v off_o the_o stage_n of_o this_o world_n and_o that_o the_o middle_a state_n to_o wit_n of_o they_o who_o be_v neither_o very_a bad_a nor_o very_o good_a do_v suffer_v temporal_a punishment_n after_o their_o death_n in_o order_n to_o their_o thorough_a purgation_n we_o inquire_v therefore_o from_o what_o father_n he_o prove_v this_o his_o stock_n be_v small_a and_o s._n austin_n be_v his_o only_a author_n for_o all_o this_o who_o of_o all_o the_o primitive_a father_n he_o ought_v least_o to_o have_v insist_v upon_o since_o s._n austin_n be_v on_o every_o side_n and_o be_v in_o for_o almost_o every_o of_o the_o different_a opinion_n about_o the_o state_n of_o the_o dead_a as_o i_o can_v easy_o show_v here_o be_v it_o worth_a while_n we_o grant_v s._n austin_n do_v talk_v of_o three_o state_n of_o man_n after_o this_o life_n but_o must_v tell_v our_o compiler_n withal_o that_o s._n austin_n be_v the_o first_o father_n that_o begin_v this_o distinction_n and_o therefore_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v of_o no_o consideration_n herein_o especial_o since_o it_o apparent_o contradict_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o elder_a father_n who_o do_v look_v upon_o the_o dead_a in_o the_o two_o condition_n only_o of_o good_a man_n who_o be_v carry_v into_o abraham_n bosom_n and_o wicked_a man_n who_o be_v hurry_v into_o the_o place_n of_o torment_n this_o i_o make_v sufficient_o apparent_a in_o my_o answer_n to_o the_o nubes_fw-la testium_fw-la particular_o from_o s._n chrysostom_n who_o three_o homily_n upon_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o philippian_n do_v evident_o divide_v the_o dead_a into_o two_o state_n only_o the_o righteous_a who_o he_o make_v to_o go_v immediate_o after_o they_o have_v leave_v this_o world_n to_o god_n and_o to_o be_v possess_v of_o crown_n and_o eternal_a rest_n and_o the_o wicked_a who_o he_o place_n among_o the_o damn_a and_o look_n upon_o their_o judgement_n alike_o irreversible_a but_o as_o s._n austin_n first_o talk_v of_o three_o condition_n of_o man_n after_o death_n so_o we_o own_o that_o he_o talk_v of_o temporal_a pain_n after_o this_o life_n for_o the_o middle_a condition_n of_o those_o depart_a soul_n yet_o all_o this_o will_v do_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n no_o service_n for_o her_o pargatory_n since_o s._n austin_n be_v not_o only_o so_o very_o doubtful_a about_o any_o such_o temporal_a pain_n after_o this_o life_n which_o plain_o show_v it_o then_o to_o have_v be_v no_o doctrine_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n but_o his_o temporal_a pain_n be_v whole_o different_a from_o those_o of_o the_o romish_a purgatory_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o express_v any_o thing_n more_o doubtful_o than_o he_o do_v this_o 69._o enchiridion_n ad_fw-la laurentium_fw-la c._n 69._o that_o there_o may_v be_v such_o a_o thing_n speak_v of_o this_o his_o notion_n about_o temporal_a pain_n for_o some_o after_o this_o life_n be_v not_o incredible_a and_o whether_o it_o be_v so_o or_o no_o it_o may_v be_v question_v and_o either_o be_v find_v out_o or_o lie_v conceal_v and_o be_v not_o this_o a_o

speak_v of_o be_v whole_o different_a from_o those_o of_o the_o romish_a purgatory_n that_o the_o pain_n of_o the_o romish_a purgatory_n be_v by_o fire_n i_o have_v just_a now_o prove_v whereas_o s._n

urge_v barefaced_a be_v that_o since_o it_o be_v allow_v the_o father_n do_v pray_v for_o the_o dead_a it_o must_v be_v only_o for_o they_o who_o want_n relief_n and_o be_v in_o purgation_n and_o

be_v what_o f._n alexandre_n our_o compiler_n master_n do_v speak_v out_o plain_o but_o to_o ruin_v this_o conclusion_n i_o will_v prove_v these_o two_o thing_n that_o the_o father_n do_v pray_v for_o

help_n who_o bring_v in_o s._n ambrose_n pray_v for_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o emperor_n theodosius_n in_o his_o nubes_fw-la testium_fw-la and_o will_v i_o suppose_v still_o yield_v it_o i_o that_o the_o father_n do_v pray_v for_o the_o emperor_n soul._n now_o that_o s._n ambrose_n do_v at_o the_o same_o time_n believe_v that_o that_o emperor_n soul_n be_v in_o heaven_n be_v evident_a beyond_o

be_v heaven_n itself_o i_o can_v prove_v further_o from_o the_o ancient_a liturgy_n that_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o church_n be_v make_v for_o the_o best_a of_o man_n for_o the_o martyr_n themselves_o who_o they_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n suppose_v to_o be_v in_o heaven_n but_o i_o need_v not_o stay_v to_o do_v it_o however_o i_o will_v to_o take_v notice_n of_o that_o evasion_n which_o s._n austin_n have_v teach_v they_o who_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o absurd_a thing_n to_o pray_v for_o the_o martyr_n who_o be_v fit_a to_o pray_v for_o we_o and_o yet_o find_v the_o liturgy_n of_o the_o church_n direct_o practise_v it_o have_v no_o other_o way_n to_o answer_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n but_o by_o say_v as_o our_o compiler_n quote_v he_o that_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o church_n when_o put_v up_o for_o such_o as_o martyr_n be_v thanksgiving_n but_o for_o other_o be_v a_o propitiation_n which_o with_o all_o reverence_n towards_o s._n austin_n be_v a_o fineness_n of_o too_o bold_a and_o too_o groundless_a a_o nature_n since_o have_v the_o church_n intend_v only_o to_o praise_n god_n for_o the_o martyr_n i_o question_v not_o but_o
