of_o this_o question_n and_o that_o be_v in_o the_o fire_n of_o purgatory_n itself_o because_o it_o have_v no_o testimony_n in_o the_o scripture_n therefore_o i_o conclude_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o

and_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v the_o chief_a and_o for_o that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n can_v clear_v herself_o of_o this_o fault_n therefore_o the_o faithful_a seek_v not_o salvation_n
