be_v make_v of_o the_o sottish_a superstition_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n as_o namely_o of_o holy_a water_n as_o they_o term_v it_o and_o purgatory_n call_v s._n patricius_n his_o hole_n and_o

it_o be_v debate_v before_o king_n francis_n the_o first_o what_o course_n be_v best_a for_o he_o to_o take_v to_o encounter_v the_o emperor_n who_o be_v come_v as_o it_o be_v report_v with_o a_o

if_o it_o please_v your_o highness_n to_o pardon_v i_o i_o think_v well_o that_o a_o young_a devil_n which_o be_v not_o yet_o his_o craft_n master_n will_v 〈◊〉_d for_o fear_n of_o holy_a water_n but_o

in_o old_a time_n many_o fine_a jest_n make_v of_o purgatory_n as_o be_v in_o very_a deed_n a_o mere_a ridiculous_a invention_n two_o whereof_o which_o now_o come_v to_o my_o mind_n i_o will_v here_o set_v down_o when_o pope_n clement_n the_o 7._o be_v besiege_v in_o his_o castle_n of_o s._n angelo_n and_o certain_a prelate_n his_o friend_n with_o he_o a_o gentleman_n of_o rome_n say_v he_o be_v ever_o persuade_v that_o the_o pope_n can_v deliver_v soul_n out_o of_o purgatory_n but_o see_v quoth_v he_o he_o can_v deliver_v himself_o out_o of_o prison_n i_o can_v much_o less_o think_v he_o shall_v deliver_v soul_n from_o thence_o the_o second_o be_v make_v long_o since_o at_o florence_n a_o florentine_a be_v importune_v by_o the_o franciscan_n of_o the_o place_n to_o have_v certain_a mass_n say_v for_o the_o deliver_v of_o his_o son_n soul_n out_o of_o purgatory_n answer_v they_o in_o this_o sort_n well_o go_v your_o way_n and_o if_o you_o deliver_v he_o by_o your_o mass_n i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o crown_n the_o friar_n have_v no_o soon_o sing_v their_o mass_n but_o they_o return_v to_o he_o again_o demand_v their_o crown_n the_o florentine_a answer_v you_o must_v first_o make_v it_o appear_v unto_o i_o that_o you_o have_v indeed_o deliver_v he_o before_o i_o part_v with_o my_o crown_n in_o the_o end_n after_o they_o have_v a_o long_a time_n debate_v the_o matter_n and_o expostulate_v with_o he_o they_o go_v to_o the_o duke_n humble_o desire_v his_o highness_n that_o they_o may_v have_v justice_n the_o duke_n cause_v the_o party_n to_o be_v send_v for_o ask_v he_o why_o he_o detain_v from_o they_o that_o which_o he_o have_v promise_v they_o the_o man_n answer_v that_o he_o promise_v they_o nothing_o but_o upon_o condition_n viz._n that_o if_o it_o may_v appear_v unto_o he_o that_o they_o have_v deliver_v his_o son_n soul_n out_o of_o purgatory_n he_o will_v give_v they_o a_o crown_n the_o duke_n hear_v this_o his_o answer_n turn_v to_o the_o friar_n and_o say_v there_o be_v great_a reason_n for_o it_o and_o therefore_o see_v you_o make_v the_o soul_n which_o you_o have_v deliver_v to_o come_v unto_o i_o and_o testify_v it_o own_o deliverance_n or_o send_v i_o two_o other_o soul_n to_o witness_v the_o same_o or_o let_v it_o send_v i_o a_o word_n or_o two_o in_o writing_n subscribe_v with_o christ_n own_o hand_n and_o then_o i_o will_v see_v you_o shall_v have_v the_o money_n pay_v you_o another_o in_o france_n do_v the_o like_a for_o certain_a priest_n have_v ask_v money_n of_o he_o for_o the_o mass_n by_o which_o they_o have_v deliver_v a_o soul_n out_o of_o purgatory_n he_o demand_v of_o they_o whether_o soul_n once_o let_v loose_a and_o free_v from_o the_o pain_n of_o purgatory_n be_v in_o danger_n to_o return_v back_o again_o or_o not_o they_o answer_v that_o they_o be_v not_o why_o then_o quoth_v he_o it_o be_v folly_n to_o give_v you_o money_n for_o this_o which_o be_v already_o deliver_v and_o in_o safety_n it_o be_v more_o wisdom_n to_o keep_v it_o for_o some_o other_o which_o haply_o may_v be_v detain_v there_o hereafter_o a_o italian_a likewise_o speak_v as_o witty_o and_o with_o as_o good_a a_o grace_n when_o he_o tell_v the_o pope_n legate_n at_o venice_n that_o if_o his_o holiness_n have_v be_v well_o advise_v he_o will_v never_o have_v say_v that_o he_o can_v deliver_v soul_n out_o of_o purgatory_n but_o that_o he_o can_v deliver_v they_o out_o of_o hell_n for_o as_o for_o purgatory_n say_v he_o there_o remain_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v prove_v first_o that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o place_n second_o that_o he_o deliver_v soul_n from_o thence_o whereas_o all_o man_n believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o hell_n so_o that_o there_o remain_v nothing_o to_o be_v prove_v but_o that_o he_o deliver_v soul_n from_o thence_o 10_o as_o for_o worship_v of_o saint_n it_o appear_v by_o certain_a ancient_a proverb_n that_o some_o demean_v themselves_o more_o discreet_o therein_o then_o other_o for_o example_n this_o proverb_n there_o be_v no_o miracle_n comparable_a to_o that_o which_o be_v wrought_v by_o a_o old_a saint_n can_v not_o arise_v but_o from_o those_o which_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o they_o ought_v rather_o to_o go_v to_o old_a experience_a saint_n then_o to_o young_a princock_n and_o novice_n which_o be_v but_o late_a upstart_n for_o these_o they_o secret_o conden_v at_o leastwise_o show_v they_o be_v to_o be_v suspect_v but_o here_o be_v yet_o a_o further_a thing_n to_o be_v note_v viz._n that_o our_o ancestor_n never_o make_v so_o great_a account_n of_o their_o saint_n but_o that_o they_o will_v both_o ring_v they_o a_o peal_n by_o threaten_v they_o and_o grin_v at_o they_o like_o a_o dog_n at_o a_o pitchfork_n when_o they_o think_v they_o wrong_v they_o wherein_o they_o
