according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o art_n and_o religion_n and_o there_o be_v four_o several_a opinion_n in_o this_o point_n the_o first_o and_o in_o my_o conceit_n the_o worst_a as_o be_v mere_o

because_o immediate_o after_o death_n they_o be_v not_o receive_v into_o heaven_n but_o as_o they_o fancy_v the_o separate_a fowl_n of_o these_o faithful_a one_o depart_v into_o a_o subterraneous_a place_n border_v upon_o the_o confine_n of_o hell_n or_o rather_o the_o upper_a or_o high_a region_n of_o hell_n which_o they_o call_v limbus_n patrum_fw-la where_o they_o be_v in_o durance_n and_o

but_o in_o truth_n what_o measure_n or_o degree_n of_o felicity_n these_o all_n receive_v by_o christ_n ascension_n or_o what_o immunity_n or_o liberty_n be_v not_o the_o postulate_v or_o matter_n of_o inquiry_n here_o for_o it_o will_v be_v grant_v that_o they_o receive_v large_a favour_n than_o before_o be_v indulge_v to_o or_o allow_v they_o and_o that_o thereby_o their_o joy_n and_o
