place_n of_o purgatory_n and_o a_o fire_n which_o torment_v soul_n but_o the_o greek_n deny_v both_o though_o they_o acknowledge_v a_o certain_a state_n of_o purgatory_n and_o therefore_o they_o pray_v to_o god_n for_o the_o dead_a it_o be_v certain_a that_o prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a have_v be_v appoint_v in_o the_o church_n in_o the_o very_a first_o age_n as_o appear_v by_o tertullian_n and_o the_o ancient_a of_o the_o father_n aswell_o as_o by_o the_o most_o ancient_a liturgy_n perhaps_o the_o church_n take_v that_o ceremony_n from_o the_o jew_n who_o likewise_o pray_v to_o god_n for_o the_o dead_a which_o be_v a_o custom_n practise_v in_o the_o synagogue_n long_o before_o the_o birth_n of_o christianity_n and_o be_v to_o be_v find_v practise_v at_o that_o time_n when_o the_o jew_n be_v under_o the_o dominion_n of_o the_o grecian_n there_o be_v this_o difference_n nevertheless_o betwixt_o the_o greek_n and_o the_o latin_n as_o to_o their_o pray_v for_o the_o dead_a that_o the_o latter_a have_v explain_v themselves_o more_o full_o whereas_o the_o former_a and_o all_o the_o other_o oriental_n have_v continue_v in_o more_o general_n term_n the_o latin_n however_o in_o their_o prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a at_o mass_n retain_v the_o ancient_a form_n which_o agree_v pretty_a well_o with_o what_o the_o greek_n believe_v of_o hell_n purgatory_n and_o paradise_n this_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o pray_v for_o the_o dead_a in_o the_o mass_n of_o the_o latin_n domine_fw-la jesus_n christ_n libera_fw-la animas_fw-la omnium_fw-la fidelium_fw-la defunctorum_fw-la de_fw-la

hell_n where_o the_o soul_n be_v detain_v as_o in_o a_o dark_a prison_n and_o they_o pray_v that_o the_o soul_n may_v pass_v from_o that_o obscure_a place_n to_o a_o place_n of_o light_n and_o rest_v which_o be_v paradise_n and_o this_o exact_o agree_v with_o the_o prayer_n that_o the_o priest_n say_v at_o the_o mass_n which_o be_v call_v in_o die_n obitus_fw-la as_o to_o what_o concern_v hell_n we_o shall_v not_o speak_v here_o of_o the_o opinion_n of_o origen_n who_o have_v nevertheless_o be_v follow_v by_o some_o greek_a doctor_n we_o shall_v only_o mention_v what_o be_v most_o general_o approve_v by_o they_o when_o they_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v deliver_v soul_n out_o of_o hell_n that_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o state_n of_o purgatory_n i_o mean_v that_o in_o that_o obscure_a prison_n which_o they_o call_v hell_n there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o soul_n one_o sort_n who_o sin_n be_v not_o so_o enormous_a as_o to_o be_v condemn_v for_o they_o to_o eternal_a punishment_n there_o and_o another_o who_o be_v real_o condemn_v to_o hell_n there_o to_o abide_v for_o ever_o of_o these_o last_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o in_o inferno_fw-la nulla_fw-la est_fw-la redemptio_fw-la whereas_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o first_o sort_n of_o soul_n it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o in_o inferno_fw-la est_fw-la redemptio_fw-la this_o may_v serve_v to_o explain_v the_o liturgy_n and_o book_n of_o the_o new_a greek_n which_o seem_v to_o suppose_v that_o the_o soul_n shall_v not_o remain_v in_o hell_n for_o ever_o and_o that_o so_o the_o punishment_n of_o the_o damn_a be_v not_o eternal_a if_o we_o take_v this_o rule_n along_o with_o we_o we_o may_v have_v a_o easy_a explication_n of_o all_o the_o prayer_n that_o be_v say_v for_o the_o dead_a in_o the_o greek_a church_n as_o to_o paradise_n the_o greek_n and_o other_o oriental_n be_v in_o this_o persuasion_n that_o soul_n enjoy_v not_o eternal_a bliss_n and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o punish_v with_o the_o pain_n of_o hell_n before_o they_o receive_v sentence_n from_o god_n at_o the_o last_o day_n of_o universal_a judgement_n and_o therefore_o according_a to_o the_o sentiment_n of_o the_o greek_n we_o must_v distinguish_v two_o paradise_n the_o first_o be_v that_o place_n of_o light_n and_o rest_v mention_v in_o their_o prayer_n and_o liturgy_n where_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o bless_a repose_n

of_o the_o live_n etc._n etc._n the_o second_o paradise_n be_v that_o eternal_a bliss_n which_o they_o shall_v enjoy_v in_o heaven_n after_o the_o universal_a judgement_n and_o they_o think_v that_o opinion_n to_o be_v more_o agreeable_a to_o the_o text_n of_o holy_a scripture_n than_o that_o of_o the_o latin_n for_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v say_v they_o but_o at_o that_o day_n that_o jesus_n

you_o from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n etc._n etc._n they_o pretend_v that_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o latin_n concern_v paradise_n and_o hell_n before_o the_o last_o day_n of_o judgement_n be_v not_o found_v on_o antiquity_n beside_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o the_o greek_n have_v not_o subtilise_v so_o much_o upon_o the_o light_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o bless_a as_o most_o of_o the_o latin_a divine_n have_v do_v who_o have_v speak_v of_o it_o with_o extraordinary_a nicety_n nay_o there_o be_v some_o who_o affirm_v that_o the_o greek_n father_n deny_v that_o the_o angel_n and_o blessed_n see_v the_o essence_n of_o god_n in_o heaven_n rely_v upon_o these_o word_n of_o theodoret_n immut_n theodoret_n theod._n dial._n immut_n the_o angel_n see_v not_o the_o

this_o they_o confirm_v also_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o many_o father_n there_o remain_v somewhat_o to_o be_v say_v of_o the_o moral_n discipline_n and_o ceremony_n of_o the_o greek_n as_o to_o their_o morality_n see_v they_o have_v the_o same_o principle_n as_o the_o latius_fw-la have_v it_o can_v be_v much_o different_a from_o they_o unless_o it_o be_v that_o want_v the_o use_n of_o school_n divinity_n they_o be_v not_o so_o great_a metaphysician_n as_o the_o latin_n wherein_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v blame_v when_o they_o mingle_v no_o logic_n nor_o metaphysic_n in_o their_o

that_o the_o greek_n and_o other_o christian_n of_o the_o east_n do_v not_o walk_v up_o to_o the_o strictness_n of_o the_o rule_n of_o morality_n because_o of_o the_o sad_a condition_n to_o which_o they_o be_v at_o present_a reduce_v their_o churchman_n be_v accuse_v of_o simony_n because_o the_o bishop_n sell_v order_n and_o the_o priest_n the_o administration_n of_o sacrament_n but_o if_o matter_n be_v thorough_o examine_v perhaps_o they_o be_v not_o so_o unblamable_a as_o people_n think_v there_o be_v a_o necessity_n that_o they_o live_v by_o their_o call_v and_o see_v they_o have_v

there_o be_v no_o fault_n find_v with_o the_o custom_n that_o be_v introduce_v into_o the_o west_n of_o take_v money_n for_o mass_n confession_n and_o many_o other_o thing_n and_o shall_v a_o poor_a

it_o strange_a neither_o that_o certain_a sin_n be_v rate_v at_o rome_n because_o we_o be_v accustom_v to_o the_o practice_n will_v the_o new_a distinction_n of_o divine_a right_n and_o

it_o be_v not_o that_o i_o will_v excuse_v the_o greek_n in_o all_o thing_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a they_o many_o time_n take_v too_o much_o liberty_n to_o themselves_o and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o careful_a
shall_v raise_v they_o again_o for_o fresh_a suffering_n and_o that_o so_o their_o torment_n shall_v never_o have_v a_o end_n they_o common_o believe_v predestination_n and_o say_v that_o good_a and_o

impossible_a that_o they_o can_v be_v otherwise_o the_o unbelief_n and_o wickedness_n of_o the_o infidel_n be_v asmuch_o according_a to_o his_o knowledge_n and_o desire_n as_o the_o obedience_n and_o faith_n of_o the_o believer_n they_o far_o say_v that_o if_o it_o be_v ask_v why_o god_n have_v create_v the_o wicked_a and_o unbeliever_n we_o be_v to_o answer_v that_o it_o do_v not_o become_v we_o to_o inquire_v too_o curious_o into_o the_o secret_n of_o god_n that_o he_o do_v what_o he_o please_v and_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o ask_v the_o reason_n of_o what_o he_o do_v and_o therefore_o a_o true_a follower_n of_o mahomet_n ought_v to_o say_v i_o believe_v in_o god_n in_o his_o angel_n in_o his_o book_n and_o in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n i_o far_o believe_v that_o good_a and_o evil_n happen_v according_a as_o he_o have_v ordain_v and_o that_o in_o fine_a it_o be_v he_o that_o have_v create_v both_o as_o to_o believer_n who_o die_v without_o repentance_n they_o maintain_v that_o they_o continue_v in_o suspense_n after_o their_o death_n and_o that_o god_n dispose_v of_o they_o according_a to_o his_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n that_o some_o he_o pardon_v and_o condemn_v

be_v in_o fine_a persuade_v that_o god_n pardon_v all_o sort_n of_o sin_n except_o atheism_n and_o idolatry_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o in_o the_o prayer_n they_o make_v for_o the_o dead_a they_o pray_v for_o the_o wicked_a aswell_o as_o for_o the_o good_a they_o have_v a_o great_a esteem_n for_o prayer_n charity_n and_o other_o pious_a action_n that_o be_v perform_v for_o the_o

not_o only_o perform_v the_o internal_a act_n of_o faith_n but_o also_o accuse_v themselves_o of_o all_o their_o sin_n which_o they_o confess_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o to_o he_o alone_o

in_o do_v good_a and_o eschew_v evil_a which_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o they_o examine_v very_o careful_o the_o nature_n of_o virtue_n and_o vice_n and_o their_o casuist_n be_v no_o less_o subtle_a than_o we_o be_v i_o shall_v here_o mention_v some_o of_o their_o principle_n whence_o we_o may_v the_o more_o easy_o judge_v of_o their_o morality_n they_o be_v so_o persuade_v that_o all_o action_n which_o be_v not_o accompany_v with_o faith_n be_v sin_n that_o they_o maintain_v that_o he_o who_o deny_v it_o lose_v the_o merit_n of_o all_o his_o good_a work_n that_o as_o often_o as_o he_o lie_v with_o his_o wife_n he_o commit_v so_o many_o adultery_n in_o a_o word_n that_o all_o he_o do_v during_o that_o time_n can_v be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n until_o he_o have_v repent_v of_o his_o sin_n and_o that_o then_o he_o become_v a_o mussulman_n or_o believer_n anew_o and_o must_v marry_v again_o a_o second_o time_n and_o if_o he_o have_v make_v the_o journey_n to_o mecha_n he_o must_v make_v it_o over_o again_o because_o all_o his_o good_a action_n have_v be_v blot_v out_o by_o that_o denial_n and_o repentance_n can_v again_o revive_v they_o when_o they_o demand_v any_o thing_n of_o god_n in_o prayer_n they_o be_v to_o resign_v themselves_o whole_o to_o his_o will_n and_o say_v to_o he_o o_o my_o god_n i_o beg_v of_o thou_o not_o to_o grant_v what_o i_o ask_v if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o

and_o that_o of_o themselves_o they_o be_v able_a to_o do_v nothing_o they_o recommend_v nothing_o so_o much_o as_o trust_v and_o confidence_n in_o god_n who_o they_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v their_o
