first_o he_o seem_v to_o say_v that_o augustine_n refuse_v to_o understand_v that_o place_n of_o purgatory_n either_o because_o he_o cold_a not_o otherwise_o withstand_v the_o argument_n of_o the_o

authority_n i_o refer_v to_o be_v judge_v of_o all_o they_o that_o be_v wise_a and_o learned_a to_o the_o second_o he_o say_v that_o augustine_n never_o doubt_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o pain_n of_o purgatory_n after_o this_o life_n but_o whether_o man_n after_o their_o death_n retain_v any_o carnal_a affection_n i_o will_v once_o again_o rehearse_v the_o word_n of_o augustine_n that_o all_o
