his_o incarnation_n and_o passion_n and_o the_o love_n that_o he_o have_v testify_v unto_o we_o it_o be_v willing_o and_o without_o ground_n to_o make_v soul_n despair_v and_o terrify_v the_o

but_o only_o that_o which_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o this_o passage_n be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o obscure_a and_o difficile_a in_o the_o scripture_n but_o not_o necessary_a to_o

of_o god_n but_o he_o who_o will_v read_v the_o whole_a passage_n will_v easy_o judge_v that_o it_o must_v be_v understand_v in_o a_o allegorical_a sense_n and_o especial_o the_o word_n fire_n which_o st_n paul_n add_v on_o as_o by_o fire_n to_o show_v that_o it_o must_v be_v understand_v by_o similitude_n say_v he_o shall_v be_v save_v as_o by_o fire_n that_o be_v to_o say_v as_o if_o he_o have_v

reason_n for_o ground_v this_o so_o important_a a_o doctrine_n which_o be_v so_o strange_a and_o difficile_a to_o be_v believe_v on_o such_o a_o doubtful_a foundation_n much_o less_o on_o metaphorical_a and_o allegorical_a and_o such_o word_n and_o it_o be_v evident_a from_o this_o passage_n that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v nothing_o that_o come_v mere_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o purgatory_n but_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o pastor_n and_o doctor_n who_o in_o teach_v retain_v the_o foundation_n which_o be_v christ_n on_o who_o some_o build_v wholesome_a and_o solid_a

and_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o those_o frivolous_a doctrine_n be_v try_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o metal_n by_o the_o fire_n shall_v not_o subsist_v and_o that_o the_o work_n of_o such_o a_o preacher_n shall_v perish_v and_o the_o trial_n shall_v make_v it_o know_v that_o there_o be_v no_o solidity_n but_o as_o for_o the_o person_n of_o the_o pastor_n he_o may_v be_v save_v because_o of_o the_o foundation_n jesus_n christ_n which_o he_o have_v hold_v be_v notwithstanding_o try_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o by_o fire_n so_o you_o see_v that_o it_o be_v there_o speak_v of_o a_o trial_n which_o be_v make_v in_o this_o life_n and_o not_o after_o death_n and_o also_o of_o a_o trial_n of_o the_o doctrine_n and_o belief_n of_o pastor_n by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o not_o of_o a_o torture_a of_o soul_n by_o fire_n so_o they_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o ground_n purgatory_n on_o this_o i_o know_v that_o this_o passage_n be_v obscure_a and_o hard_a have_v many_o

12.32_o matth._n 12.32_o he_o that_o shall_v blaspheme_v against_o the_o holy_a spirit_n it_o shall_v neither_o be_v pardon_v he_o in_o this_o life_n nor_o in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v this_o life_n to_o come_v say_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v proper_o the_o fire_n of_o purgatory_n and_o so_o there_o be_v purgatory_n but_o this_o doctrine_n do_v not_o even_o agree_v with_o that_o they_o teach_v of_o their_o purgatory_n for_o they_o say_v the_o sin_n be_v forgive_v before_o they_o enter_v into_o purgatory_n and_o that_o none_o go_v thither_o who_o be_v not_o receive_v in_o favour_n with_o god_n and_o so_o according_a to_o they_o no_o sin_n be_v pardon_v in_o purgatory_n now_o christ_n by_o those_o word_n which_o be_v also_o obscure_a and_o difficile_a to_o be_v understand_v do_v only_o exaggerate_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o say_v that_o he_o will_v not_o pardon_v it_o neither_o in_o this_o world_n nor_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n where_o the_o second_o condemnation_n be_v pronounce_v and_o so_o that_o he_o will_v punish_v they_o in_o this_o world_n and_o after_o death_n but_o there_o be_v no_o man_n who_o see_v not_o that_o this_o be_v too_o far_o distant_a from_o the_o doctrine_n of_o purgatory_n to_o ground_v a_o article_n of_o faith_n upon_o it_o you_o see_v nevertheless_o the_o clear_a thing_n which_o they_o produce_v take_v out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o establish_v the_o purgatory_n and_o that_o so_o terrible_a doctrine_n where_o you_o may_v perceive_v the_o small_a reason_n and_o little_a probability_n thereof_o but_o behold_v here_o other_o far_o clear_a and_o manifest_a proof_n draw_v from_o the_o holy_a scripture_n against_o purgatory_n christ_n say_v to_o the_o thief_n who_o implore_v his_o

that_o he_o be_v never_o there_o then_o otherwise_o for_o it_o be_v a_o strange_a and_o hard_a thing_n to_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v there_o and_o found_v that_o church_n establish_v there_o his_o

of_o all_o question_n do_v proceed_v that_o great_a ignorance_n which_o be_v to_o be_v see_v among_o the_o people_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n there_o not_o be_v ten_o among_o a_o hundred_o
