to_o pammachius_n which_o yet_o chapt._n 13._o have_v nothing_o at_o all_o about_o purgatory_n bellarmine_n cite_v nothing_o out_o of_o hierome_n against_o john_n of_o jerusalem_n 10._o but_o something_o out_o of_o he_o against_o the_o pelagian_n viz._n this_o if_o origen_n say_v that_o no_o reasonable_a creature_n shall_v be_v destroy_v and_o give_v repentance_n to_o the_o 9_o devil_n what_o be_v that_o to_o we_o who_o say_v that_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n and_o all_o the_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a do_v perish_v for_o ever_o and_o that_o christian_n if_o they_o be_v

save_v but_o if_o he_o do_v speak_v of_o punishment_n to_o be_v endure_v after_o this_o life_n which_o be_v not_o clear_a and_o certain_a though_o i_o confess_v it_o be_v probable_a by_o those_o word_n if_o they_o be_v prevent_v in_o sin_n yet_o he_o seem_v withal_o to_o have_v hold_v that_o some_o even_o after_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n shall_v be_v punish_v yet_o so_o as_o to_o be_v save_v which_o bellarmine_n as_o i_o have_v show_v note_v as_o a_o error_n in_o origen_n and_o therefore_o hierome_n in_o this_o as_o it_o seem_v follow_v origen_n do_v dissent_v as_o well_o from_o

and_o from_o iniquity_n and_o another_o thing_n for_o they_o to_o perish_v for_o ever_o and_o to_o be_v burn_v with_o everlasting_a fire_n hierome_n seem_v not_o to_o be_v so_o clear_a in_o the_o

of_o judgement_n so_o as_o thereby_o to_o cease_v from_o sin_n and_o iniquity_n to_o be_v purge_v from_o it_o but_o not_o so_o as_o to_o perish_v for_o ever_o and_o to_o be_v burn_v with_o
