the_o father_n can_v deny_v three_o another_o difference_n be_v that_o this_o be_v a_o unalterable_a state_n till_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o no_o popish_a purgatory_n out_o of_o which_o as_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n pretend_v soul_n may_v be_v redeem_v by_o the_o prayer_n and_o alm_n and_o mass_n of_o the_o live_n and_o ascend_v immediate_o into_o heaven_n this_o be_v evident_a from_o what_o i_o have_v already_o say_v that_o this_o state_n be_v to_o last_v till_o the_o resurrection_n according_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o ancient_a father_n as_o tertullian_n express_o affirm_v that_o heaven_n be_v open_a matth._n to_o none_o while_o this_o earth_n last_v but_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n shall_v be_v open_v with_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o s._n chrysostom_n observe_v from_o the_o parable_n of_o dives_n and_o lazarus_n that_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n after_o their_o depature_n out_o of_o these_o body_n be_v carry_v to_o a_o certain_a

must_v continue_v in_o that_o state_n which_o they_o enter_v upon_o at_o death_n till_o the_o resurrection_n and_o this_o i_o think_v be_v sufficient_a to_o show_v the_o difference_n between_o a_o popish_a purgatory_n and_o that_o middle_a state_n between_o death_n and_o judgement_n which_o the_o ancient_a father_n teach_v second_o nor_o be_v it_o sufficient_a to_o prove_v a_o popish_a purgatory_n that_o the_o ancient_a father_n do_v believe_v that_o all_o man_n must_v pass_v through_o the_o fire_n at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n that_o those_o who_o be_v perfect_o good_a shall_v

fire_n till_o they_o be_v purge_v from_o their_o sin_n and_o that_o bad_a man_n shall_v irrecoverable_o sink_v down_o into_o endless_a burn_n this_o be_v a_o receive_a opinion_n among_o the_o ancient_a father_n that_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n all_o man_n shall_v be_v try_v by_o fire_n which_o be_v so_o universal_o acknowledge_v that_o i_o need_v not_o prove_v it_o by_o particular_a quotation_n but_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o irreconcilable_a difference_n between_o this_o opinion_n and_o the_o popish_a doctrine_n of_o purgatory_n as_o will_v appear_v in_o these_o particular_n 1._o that_o the_o popish_a purgatory_n be_v now_o and_o have_v be_v in_o be_v at_o least_o since_o the_o time_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o that_o those_o who_o deserve_v the_o fire_n of_o purgatory_n fall_v into_o it_o when_o they_o go_v out_o of_o these_o body_n whereas_o the_o fire_n which_o the_o father_n speak_v of_o be_v not_o till_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n this_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o lactantius_n hilary_n ambrose_n and_o s._n augustin_n himself_n who_o express_o tell_v 24._o we_o that_o this_o fire_n be_v at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n in_o fine_a seculi_fw-la and_o therefore_o not_o the_o popish_a purgatory_n which_o as_o they_o will_v persuade_v we_o be_v already_o kindle_v and_o have_v be_v for_o many_o hundred_o year_n indeed_o s._n augustin_n though_o he_o own_v that_o fiery_a trial_n at_o the_o last_o judgement_n as_o the_o father_n before_o he_o do_v yet_o he_o have_v something_o peculiar_a in_o this_o matter_n which_o none_o of_o the_o father_n before_o he_o ever_o teach_v and_o therefore_o have_v no_o authority_n of_o tradition_n it_o must_v rest_v whole_o upon_o his_o own_o authority_n who_o have_v no_o more_o authority_n to_o invent_v any_o new_a doctrine_n in_o his_o age_n than_o we_o have_v in_o we_o there_o be_v three_o or_o four_o place_n in_o s._n augustin_n which_o do_v speak_v of_o some_o purgatory_n fire_n which_o some_o man_n must_v undergo_v between_o death_n and_o judgement_n which_o look_v most_o like_a the_o popish_a purgatory_n of_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o ancient_a father_n and_o i_o believe_v be_v the_o first_o occasion_n of_o it_o which_o may_v be_v the_o reason_n why_o this_o doctrine_n have_v so_o much_o prevail_v in_o the_o latin_a church_n which_o be_v acquaint_v with_o s._n augustine_n write_n when_o it_o have_v be_v always_o reject_v by_o the_o greek_n as_o be_v evident_a from_o the_o council_n of_o florence_n but_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v say_v to_o this_o first_o that_o st._n austin_n speak_v very_o doubtful_o about_o it_o that_o there_o may_v be_v such_o punishment_n after_o this_o life_n he_o say_v be_v not_o incredible_a and_o we_o may_v examine_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o such_o 69._o thing_n or_o not_o and_o it_o may_v either_o be_v find_v or_o may_v still_o continue_v a_o secret_a whether_o some_o christian_n according_a to_o the_o degree_n of_o their_o love_n and_o affection_n for_o these_o perish_a enjoyment_n be_v not_o soon_o or_o late_a save_v by_o a_o certain_a purgatory_n fire_n and_o in_o another_o place_n he_o say_v he_o do_v not_o reprove_v this_o opinion_n for_o it_o may_v be_v it_o be_v true_a now_o redarguo_fw-la quia_fw-la forsitan_fw-la verum_fw-la est_fw-la de_fw-fr c._n d._n l._n 21._o c._n 25._o and_o elsewhere_o he_o say_v that_o though_o such_o speculation_n may_v serve_v for_o his_o own_o or_o other_o man_n instruction_n yet_o he_o do_v not_o attribute_v any_o canonical_a authority_n to_o they_o and_o therefore_o he_o be_v very_o far_o from_o make_v it_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n as_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v do_v 3._o second_o and_o yet_o though_o st._n austin_n speak_v of_o a_o

of_o rome_n have_v invent_v the_o occasion_n
