relate_v to_o their_o deliverance_n out_o of_o a_o state_n of_o punishment_n before_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n for_o whatever_o state_n soul_n be_v then_o suppose_v to_o be_v in_o before_o the_o great_a day_n if_o there_o can_v be_v no_o deliverance_n till_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n it_o signify_v nothing_o to_o the_o present_a question_n as_o to_o the_o vision_n of_o perpetua_fw-la concern_v her_o brother_n dinocrates_n who_o die_v at_o seven_o year_n old_a be_v baptize_v it_o be_v hardly_o reconcilable_a to_o their_o own_o doctrine_n to_o suppose_v such_o a_o soul_n in_o purgatory_n i_o will_v not_o deny_v that_o perpetua_fw-la do_v think_v she_o see_v he_o in_o a_o worse_a condition_n and_o think_v likewise_o that_o by_o her_o prayer_n she_o bring_v he_o into_o a_o

such_o a_o doctrine_n as_o purgatory_n must_v be_v bu●lt_v on_o such_o a_o foundation_n as_o this_o i_o do_v not_o call_v in_o question_n the_o act_n of_o perpetua_fw-la nor_o her_o sincerity_n in_o relate_v her_o dream_n but_o must_v the_o church_n build_v her_o doctrine_n upon_o the_o dream_n or_o vision_n of_o young_a lady_n though_o very_o devout_a for_o ubia_fw-la perpetua_fw-la be_v then_o

what_o strength_n of_o reason_n he_o offer_v for_o purgatory_n 1._o he_o say_v when_o a_o sinner_n be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n though_o the_o eternal_a punishment_n due_a to_o his_o sin_n be_v always_o remit_v yet_o there_o sometime_o remain_v a_o temporal_a penalty_n to_o be_v undergo_v as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o israelite_n and_o david_n but_o do_v it_o hence_o follow_v that_o there_o be_v a_o temporal_a penalty_n that_o must_v be_v undergo_v either_o here_o or_o hereafter_o without_o which_o there_o will_v be_v no_o need_n of_o purgatory_n who_o deny_v that_o god_n in_o this_o life_n for_o example_n sake_n may_v punish_v those_o who_o sin_n he_o have_v promise_v to_o remit_v as_o to_o another_o world_n this_o be_v therefore_o a_o very_a slender_a foundation_n 2._o there_o be_v some_o sin_n of_o their_o own_o nature_n light_n and_o venial_a i_o will_v not_o dispute_v that_o but_o suppose_v there_o be_v must_v man_n go_v then_o into_o purgatory_n for_o mere_a venial_a sin_n what_o a_o strange_a doctrine_n do_v this_o appear_v to_o any_o m●n's_n reason_n that_o god_n shall_v forgive_v the_o great_a sin_n and_o require_v so_o severe_a a_o punishment_n for_o sin_n in_o their_o own_o nature_n venial_a i._n e._n so_o inconsiderable_a in_o their_o own_o opinion_n that_o no_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o confess_v they_o which_o do_v not_o interrupt_v a_o state_n of_o grace_n which_o require_v only_o a_o implicit_a detestation_n of_o they_o se●undo_fw-la which_o do_v not_o deserve_v eternal_a punishment_n which_o may_v be_v remit_v by_o holy_a water_n or_o a_o bishop_n bl●ssing_n as_o their_o divine_n agree_v 3._o that_o to_o all_o sin_n some_o penalty_n be_v due_a to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n and_o what_o follow_v from_o hence_o but_o the_o necessity_n of_o christ_n satisfaction_n but_o how_o do_v it_o appear_v that_o after_o the_o expiation_n of_o sin_n by_o christ_n and_o the_o remission_n of_o eternal_a punishment_n there_o st●ll_v remain_v a_o necessity_n of_o far_a satisfaction_n for_o such_o a_o temporal_a penalty_n in_o another_o world_n 4._o that_o general_o speak_v few_o man_n depart_v out_o of_o this_o life_n but_o either_o with_o the_o guilt_n of_o venial_a sin_n or_o obnoxious_a to_o some_o temporal_a punishment_n no_o doubt_n all_o man_n be_v obnoxious_a by_o their_o sin_n to_o the_o punishment_n of_o another_o world_n but_o that_o be_v not_o the_o point_n but_o whether_o god_n have_v declare_v that_o although_o he_o remit_v the_o eternal_a punishment_n he_o will_v not_o the_o temporal_a and_o although_o he_o will_v forgive_v thousand_o of_o pound_n he_o will_v not_o the_o penny_n and_o farthing_n we_o owe_v to_o he_o but_o if_o mortal_a sin_n be_v remit_v as_o to_o the_o guilt_n and_o venial_a do_v not_o hinder_v a_o st●te_n of_o grace_n what_o room_n be_v there_o for_o vindictive_a justice_n in_o purgatory_n yet_o this_o be_v the_o doctrine_n which_o so_o much_o weight_n be_v lay_v upon_o that_o bellarmine_n say_v sunt_fw-la they_o must_v go_v direct_o to_o hell_n who_o do_v not_o believe_v purgatory_n if_o this_o be_v true_a why_o be_v it_o not_o put_v into_o the_o representation_n that_o we_o may_v understand_v the_o danger_n of_o not_o believe_v so_o credible_a so_o reasonable_a a_o doctrine_n as_o this_o but_o we_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v a_o much_o more_o dangerous_a thing_n to_o condemn_v other_o for_o not_o believe_v a_o doctrine_n which_o have_v so_o very_o slender_a a_o pretence_n either_o to_o scripture_n or_o reason_n xxiv_o of_o pray_v in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n he_o
