which_o be_v extreme_o wicked_a and_o eternal_a reward_n for_o the_o very_a good_a and_o pious_a and_o then_o by_o proportion_n and_o analogy_n temporal_a punishment_n &_o by_o they_o a_o passage_n to_o eternal_a reward_n for_o those_o who_o be_v but_o reasonable_o good_a and_o reasonable_o evil_a neither_o stand_v it_o with_o god_n justice_n and_o goodness_n that_o a_o most_o virtuous_a man_n through_o his_o whole_a life_n die_v &_o also_o another_o man_n die_v who_o have_v commit_v many_o venial_a sin_n unsatisfy_v or_o have_v only_o the_o guilt_n and_o eternal_a punishment_n of_o many_o

life_n the_o same_o reward_n of_o glory_n and_o eternity_n the_o last_o reason_n may_v be_v this_o that_o opinion_n which_o take_v away_o purgatory_n be_v most_o pernicious_a and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v true_a for_o it_o make_v man_n slothful_a in_o avoid_v sin_n and_o do_v of_o good_a work_n as_o elsewhere_o be_v intimate_v for_o who_o be_v persuade_v that_o there_o be_v no_o purgatory_n
