A65798	Notes on Mr. F.D.'s Result of a dialogue concerning the middle state of souls in a letter from Thomas White.	White, Thomas, 1593-1676.	1660 (1660)	Wing W1838; ESTC R27876	31,093	81

of_o such_o a_o origin_n be_v to_o be_v suspect_v and_o dangerous_a you_o say_v the_o sequence_n of_o the_o mass_n for_o the_o dead_a inculcate_v the_o horror_n of_o doomsday_n to_o move_v good_a people_n to_o help_v the_o soul_n out_o of_o purgatory_n before_o it_o come_v as_o if_o you_o conceive_v that_o day_n will_v be_v worse_o to_o they_o be_v they_o not_o help_v before_o which_o position_n i_o confess_v i_o understand_v not_o since_o it_o be_v the_o general_a doctrine_n that_o the_o same_o doom_n be_v give_v in_o the_o particular_a judgement_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o then_o to_o be_v decide_v but_o eternity_n you_o bid_v i_o consider_v that_o these_o three_o alone_a saint_n gregory_n zacharias_n and_o saint_n chrysostom_n carry_v the_o greek_a and_o latin_a church_n on_o their_o back_n but_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o say_v that_o the_o father_n and_o authority_n i_o have_v cite_v of_o which_o you_o take_v no_o notice_n be_v so_o far_o more_o numerous_a and_o strong_a than_o they_o that_o to_o use_v your_o own_o phrase_n they_o carry_v both_o their_o church_n and_o they_o and_o all_o on_o their_o back_n you_o come_v at_o last_o to_o the_o council_n of_o chalcedon_n and_o ischyrions_n action_n against_o dioscorus_n for_o mispend_v a_o lady_n money_n bestow_v at_o her_o death_n for_o the_o good_a of_o her_o soul_n so_o the_o text_n have_v it_o if_o i_o remember_v right_a and_o not_o for_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o decease_a as_o you_o write_v it_o though_o if_o it_o be_v so_o write_v it_o be_v conformable_a to_o the_o use_n of_o the_o church_n and_o true_a doctrine_n and_o so_o i_o must_v put_v this_o also_o among_o your_o other_o proof_n which_o want_v a_o little_a of_o that_o pious_a affection_n to_o stretch_v they_o home_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o your_o argument_n hence_o seem_v to_o stand_v thus_o alm_n give_v for_o the_o dead_a be_v to_o be_v distribute_v faithful_o therefore_o soul_n be_v deliver_v before_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n after_o this_o severe_a consequence_n of_o your_o own_o you_o entertain_v the_o confidence_n to_o censure_v my_o explication_n of_o the_o offertory_n for_o a_o sophism_n because_o i_o think_v the_o punishment_n express_v there_o signify_v that_o of_o hell_n not_o purgatory_n but_o certain_o it_o be_v a_o spice_n of_o great_a weakness_n to_o believe_v the_o contrary_a without_o a_o strong_a proof_n than_o your_o bare_a word_n since_o the_o expression_n be_v so_o horrid_a that_o great_a or_o more_o significant_a can_v scarce_o be_v find_v as_o the_o jaw_n of_o a_o lion_n or_o devil_n the_o deep_a dungeon_n that_o tartarus_n or_o the_o deep_a sink_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o swallow_v they_o up_o and_o in_o the_o office_n of_o the_o dead_a where_o no_o order_n dwell_v but_o everlasting_a horror_n and_o other_o such_o dreadful_a phrase_n and_o the_o greek_n use_v to_o call_v it_o in_o their_o ritual_n gehennam_fw-la but_o why_o sedes_fw-la refrigerii_fw-la shall_v speak_v your_o purgatory_n i_o be_o not_o capable_a of_o the_o consequence_n it_o may_v be_v say_v by_o writer_n that_o refreshment_n be_v give_v there_o but_o sure_o none_o before_o you_o ever_o call_v that_o suffer_a state_n the_o seat_n of_o refreshment_n note_n on_o the_o five_o chapter_n as_o your_o chapter_n be_v short_a so_o shall_v my_o note_n you_o say_v tradition_n alone_o can_v prove_v faith_n in_o all_o article_n but_o you_o prove_v it_o not_o for_o neither_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n nor_o saint_n irenaeus_n though_o the_o one_o say_v catholic_a faith_n be_v contain_v in_o both_o and_o the_o other_o that_o both_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o church_n say_v that_o tradition_n alone_o be_v not_o sufficient_a rather_o saint_n irenaeus_n say_v it_o be_v as_o all_o those_o father_n must_v needs_o be_v understand_v to_o do_v who_o in_o case_n of_o difficulty_n send_v we_o to_o the_o apostolical_a church_n but_o to_o be_v short_a i_o make_v you_o this_o argument_n if_o scripture_n teach_v somewhat_o that_o be_v not_o in_o tradition_n either_o scripture_n in_o such_o passage_n needs_o a_o interpreter_n or_o no_o if_o none_o can_v any_o sensible_a man_n persuade_v himself_o it_o have_v not_o be_v the_o perpetual_a doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n so_o it_o be_v in_o a_o point_n necessary_a to_o be_v know_v and_o if_o scripture_n do_v need_v a_o interpreter_n that_o interpreter_n bind_v the_o church_n and_o be_v the_o immediate_a revealer_n and_o he_o must_v have_v the_o authority_n of_o such_o a_o proposer_n to_o oblige_v the_o church_n to_o his_o interpretation_n it_o be_v therefore_o a_o sophism_n to_o put_v the_o scripture_n for_o a_o self-sufficient_a authority_n to_o bind_v the_o church_n in_o what_o be_v not_o know_v by_o tradition_n but_o scripture_n be_v necessary_a for_o condemnation_n of_o heretic_n in_o such_o point_n as_o they_o pretend_v to_o deduce_v from_o it_o and_o so_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n declare_v itself_o when_o it_o speak_v upon_o what_o ground_n it_o will_v proceed_v what_o consequent_n follow_v of_o this_o doctrine_n we_o must_v expect_v your_o leisure_n to_o declare_v as_o yet_o i_o know_v none_o note_n upon_o the_o six_o chapter_n in_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o six_o chapter_n i_o find_v little_a difference_n betwixt_o your_o doctrine_n and_o i_o for_o though_o you_o explicate_v aristotle_n nunc_fw-la otherwise_o then_o i_o shall_v do_v yet_o not_o be_v necessary_a to_o our_o purpose_n it_o be_v not_o fit_a for_o i_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o it_o only_o i_o understand_v not_o how_o after_o you_o have_v very_o learned_o declare_v that_o the_o soul_n by_o its_o aeviternity_n have_v the_o succession_n of_o the_o part_n of_o pain_n all_o together_o afterwards_o you_o put_v that_o a_o soul_n by_o twenty_o year_n duration_n in_o pain_n have_v suffer_v so_o long_o the_o hard_a consequent_n of_o that_o duration_n for_o if_o the_o extension_n of_o time_n as_o far_o as_o concern_v the_o intrinsical_a existence_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v all_o resume_v in_o aeviternity_n and_o aeviternity_n be_v all_o together_o by_o the_o very_a initiate_n of_o it_o i_o can_v apprehend_v the_o run_n of_o time_n by_o it_o can_v add_v any_o intrinsical_a consequent_a which_o be_v not_o in_o it_o by_o the_o very_a make_n you_o seem_v to_o add_v yet_o a_o great_a paradox_n tell_v we_o notwithstanding_o the_o being_n of_o aeviternity_n all_o together_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o priority_n of_o nature_n in_o it_o which_o though_o i_o can_v conceive_v in_o cause_n and_o effect_n as_o be_v different_a thing_n yet_o in_o a_o pure_a indivisible_a it_o pass_v my_o understanding_n special_o when_o the_o priority_n must_v be_v in_o succession_n where_o when_o one_o part_n be_v the_o other_o be_v not_o neither_o do_v aristotle_n help_v you_o in_o who_o doctrine_n the_o decree_n of_o the_o will_n be_v a_o successive_a action_n as_o depend_v on_o a_o corporal_a motion_n in_o the_o body_n but_o this_o be_v the_o subtlety_n of_o a_o scotist_n i_o pray_v do_v not_o persuade_v yourself_o that_o in_o our_o doctrine_n which_o make_v the_o duration_n of_o the_o act_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o very_a duration_n of_o the_o soul_n a_o change_n of_o act_n can_v be_v connatural_o admit_v you_o insinuate_v something_o of_o a_o metaphysical_a charity_n and_o that_o our_o

it_o in_o those_o that_o have_v it_o and_o to_o the_o extend_n of_o it_o by_o diffusion_n into_o divers_a subject_n all_o this_o though_o there_o be_v no_o obligation_n for_o the_o action_n in_o

and_o that_o his_o action_n be_v both_o superfluous_a and_o superstitious_a after_o this_o point_n i_o find_v no_o disagreement_n between_o we_o in_o any_o thing_n that_o concern_v our_o question_n
