the_o answer_n to_o my_o ground_n he_o profess_v to_o deliver_v the_o fundamental_a reason_n of_o his_o opinion_n and_o i_o suppose_v in_o his_o first_o paragraph_n he_o will_v say_v if_o he_o do_v

some_o sin_n remain_v true_o in_o purgatory_n to_o be_v purge_v and_o that_o if_o only_a pain_n be_v put_v in_o purgatory_n it_o be_v no_o purgatory_n this_o consequence_n we_o handle_v before_o

acknowledge_v that_o there_o must_v be_v something_o that_o have_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o blemish_n that_o purgation_n be_v necessary_a his_o first_o objection_n be_v that_o calvin_n use_v this_o argument_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v the_o fault_n of_o they_o who_o explicate_v purgatory_n as_o bellarmin_n and_o he_o do_v to_o give_v such_o a_o advantage_n to_o heretic_n by_o evil_a explicate_a our_o faith_n that_o their_o argument_n though_o otherwise_o weak_a against_o faith_n yet_o be_v demonstrative_a against_o it_o in_o their_o explication_n his_o second_o solution_n be_v to_o fall_v into_o that_o condemn_a heresy_n that_o after_o the_o soul_n be_v perfect_o purge_v yet_o they_o remain_v in_o purgatory_n for_o he_o will_v needs_o put_v a_o most_o intense_a act_n of_o charity_n and_o contrition_n for_o the_o first_o act_n of_o the_o soul_n separate_v which_o expel_v the_o guilt_n of_o venial_a sin_n and_o by_o consequence_n the_o soul_n after_o they_o be_v purge_v remain_v to_o be_v torment_v beside_o he_o do_v not_o reflect_v that_o if_o this_o act_n can_v deserve_v the_o remission_n of_o the_o sin_n it_o can_v also_o the_o remission_n of_o all_o pain_n which_o doctor_n assign_v to_o perfect_a contrition_n his_o three_o solution_n be_v that_o by_o the_o name_n of_o sin_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v lyability_n to_o punishment_n which_o be_v very_o true_a if_o it_o be_v take_v proportional_o as_o it_o ought_v for_o there_o can_v be_v neither_o sin_n without_o pain_n due_a to_o it_o nor_o owe_v of_o pain_n but_o by_o s●n_n but_o the_o mystery_n be_v that_o he_o will_v not_o understand_v this_o though_o a_o man_n shall_v beat_v it_o into_o he_o with_o a_o pestle_n but_o will_v if_o you_o say_v the_o sin_n be_v not_o whole_o remit_v as_o long_o as_o pain_n be_v due_a for_o it_o cite_v you_o i_o know_v not_o how_o many_o text_n of_o council_n against_o you_o and_o yet_o now_o he_o can_v cite_v out_o of_o st._n thomas_n that_o the_o remission_n of_o the_o pain_n belong_v to_o the_o entire_a remission_n of_o the_o sin_n and_o promise_v he_o will_v show_v it_o to_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o father_n which_o i_o shall_v be_v thankful_a to_o he_o for_o because_o it_o be_v a_o most_o plain_a truth_n but_o yet_o i_o can_v allow_v his_o consequence_n that_o when_o our_o saviour_n say_v that_o a_o sin_n shall_v not_o be_v forgive_v either_o in_o this_o world_n or_o in_o the_o next_o it_o must_v in_o this_o world_n signify_v guilt_n and_o in_o the_o other_o only_a pain_n for_o our_o saviour_n do_v not_o use_v to_o make_v his_o word_n straddle_v so_o wide_a as_o within_o three_o word_n and_o continue_v the_o same_o proposition_n to_o make_v a_o double_a sense_n of_o the_o same_o word_n he_o conclude_v that_o hitherto_o his_o adversary_n have_v bring_v no_o demonstration_n which_o whether_o it_o be_v true_a or_o no_o let_v wise_a man_n than_o judge_n i_o can_v only_o say_v that_o he_o have_v solve_v no_o one_o authority_n with_o any_o colourable_a answer_n but_o either_o by_o fall_v into_o error_n or_o abuse_v the_o word_n of_o scripture_n by_o paraphrase_n or_o inconsequent_a explication_n which_o be_v easy_o make_v appear_v to_o any_o one_o who_o attentive_o read_v my_o reply_v four_o division_n contain_v a_o answer_n to_o his_o nineteen_o chapter_n the_o testimony_n from_o father_n and_o

have_v bring_v to_o the_o paucity_n of_o i_o to_o which_o i_o have_v nothing_o to_o say_v for_o a_o comparison_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v make_v before_o both_o part_n be_v see_v and_o he_o will_v

to_o have_v cite_v plentiful_o to_o wit_n one_o class_n of_o they_o who_o speak_v of_o our_o saviour_n resurrection_n in_o which_o we_o be_v more_o forward_o than_o he_o that_o all_o soul_n be_v then_o deliver_v another_o class_n of_o such_o testimony_n as_o be_v confess_o erroneous_a and_o heretical_a the_o rest_n of_o father_n speak_v in_o common_a what_o we_o both_o agree_v in_o unless_o st._n julian_n of_o who_o i_o can_v pronounce_v have_v not_o see_v the_o book_n last_o certain_a story_n which_o some_o father_n mention_n your_o great_a divine_a make_v no_o difference_n betwixt_o

not_o this_o think_v you_o a_o goodly_a score_n to_o vaunt_v so_o much_o of_o he_o add_v for_o the_o last_o thousand_o year_n not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o whisper_n of_o any_o one_o father_n in_o what_o age_n then_o live_v alacinus_n st._n anselm_n and_o st._n thomas_n who_o be_v cite_v for_o hold_v the_o fire_n of_o judgement_n to_o be_v the_o fire_n of_o purgatory_n and_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n the_o beginner_n of_o the_o schoolman_n 2._o in_o his_o second_o number_n he_o come_v to_o the_o objection_n before_o i_o begin_v they_o i_o must_v give_v you_o a_o short_a note_n of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n you_o be_v therefore_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o two_o famous_a proposition_n in_o antiquity_n which_o modern_a use_n have_v much_o relinquish_v the_o one_o be_v that_o in_o the_o primitive_a church_n the_o day_n of_o judgement_n be_v hot_o propose_v to_o christian_n as_o in_o which_o both_o reward_n and_o punishment_n be_v to_o be_v expect_v whereas_o now_o adays_o all_o the_o preach_v almost_o tend_v to_o the_o present_a go_v to_o heaven_n or_o to_o hell_n and_o this_o be_v so_o plain_o thathe_v himself_o render_v cause_n why_o it_o be_v so_o the_o second_o doctrine_n be_v that_o because_o some_o soul_n need_v purge_v and_o this_o be_v apprehend_v to_o depend_v of_o judgement_n also_o the_o day_n in_o which_o the_o reward_n or_o punishment_n be_v give_v be_v depute_v for_o the_o purge_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o need_v purgation_n this_o purge_n be_v by_o the_o saint_n general_o take_v to_o be_v do_v by_o fire_n &_o therefore_o of_o the_o last_o conflagration_n and_o other_o purge_n we_o hear_v not_o of_o until_o private_a revelation_n take_v authority_n to_o build_v divinity_n new_a principle_n since_o which_o time_n almost_o all_o the_o devotion_n of_o the_o latin_a church_n run_v after_o the_o delivery_n of_o soul_n from_o present_a pain_n of_o fire_n which_o the_o greek_a church_n profess_v in_o the_o council_n of_o florence_n not_o to_o have_v hear_v of_o but_o as_o in_o the_o former_a proposition_n the_o difference_n betwixt_o antiquity_n and_o the_o present_a use_n make_v not_o either_o reprehensible_a so_o in_o this_o late_a question_n there_o be_v no_o formal_a opposition_n but_o the_o essence_n purgatory_n be_v conserve_v in_o both_o to_o wit_n that_o some_o soul_n be_v in_o torment_n until_o they_o be_v deliver_v but_o antiquity_n make_v no_o mention_n of_o any_o delivery_n but_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n our_o late_a revelation_n make_v irregular_a delivery_n upon_o divers_a occasion_n now_o what_o i_o aim_n at_o in_o the_o citation_n of_o father_n be_v to_o show_v that_o the_o test●…_n bring_v out_o of_o they_o for_o purge_v of_o soul_n all_o or_o general_o speak_v of_o the_o day_n o●_n judgement_n so_o that_o as_o to_o the_o father_n the_o question_n be_v all_o one_o if_o whether_o there_o be_v a_o purgatory_n and_o whether_o the_o soul_n be_v release_v at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o all_o the_o authority_n which_o prove_v purgatory_n fire_n be_v such_o as_o to_o prove_v that_o fire_n to_o be_v at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n whence_o it_o follow_v that_o who_o will_v put_v a_o remission_n before_o must_v look_v for_o father_n who_o say_v that_o direct_o and_o not_o rely_v upon_o the_o common_a speech_n far_o the_o question_n be_v of_o that_o nature_n that_o it_o depend_v from_o solid_a revelation_n out_o of_o scripture_n or_o tradition_n and_o no_o less_o authority_n be_v able_a to_o make_v it_o a_o
divine_a bring_v in_o promise_v to_o pray_v long_o for_o one_o soul_n than_o one_o mass_n come_v to_o 4._o by_o occasion_n of_o the_o great_a letter_n of_o this_o very_a day_n our_o divine_a remember_v there_o want_v great_a letter_n in_o a_o former_a citation_n of_o the_o commendation_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o therefore_o repeat_v it_o add_v great_a letter_n that_o the_o soul_n may_v show_v a_o patent_n to_o go_v out_o of_o purgatory_n that_o day_n but_o he_o have_v forget_v that_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v there_o pray_v for_o be_v take_v to_o be_v not_o yet_o in_o purgatory_n nor_o to_o have_v receive_v her_o judgement_n and_o if_o he_o look_v into_o the_o father_n and_o see_v how_o hopeful_o they_o speak_v of_o die_a christian_n he_o will_v not_o wonder_v at_o such_o
