the_o dead_a the_o reason_n why_o all_o agree_v so_o universal_o in_o this_o point_n must_v needs_o be_v ground_v in_o the_o light_n of_o natural_a reason_n which_o as_o it_o teach_v that_o there_o

the_o answer_n which_o protestant_n use_v to_o make_v be_v very_o weak_a for_o they_o say_v that_o although_o some_o man_n live_v so_o that_o they_o do_v not_o deserve_v hell_n and_o yet_o live_v not_o so_o well_o but_o they_o deserve_v some_o punishment_n yet_o these_o man_n say_v they_o shall_v not_o go_v to_o purgatory_n but_o by_o the_o only_a undergo_n of_o the_o pain_n of_o death_n they_o shall_v be_v sufficient_o punish_v for_o their_o sin_n this_o answer_n for_o two_o reason_n be_v apparent_o false_a first_o for_o that_o the_o undergo_n of_o death_n be_v a_o punishment_n due_a unto_o all_o man_n for_o original_a sin_n for_o say_v s._n paul_n rom._n 5._o by_o one_o man_n sin_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n and_o by_o sin_n death_n and_o so_o unto_o all_o man_n death_n do_v
