liable to eternal punishments whereas they would have satisfactions to be only for Temporol but his satisfactions were of no worth CHAP. III. Wherein is shewed that the Papists Doctrine of Purgatory overthroweth the Faith of the Gospel is against the Authority of Christ destroyeth the Testimony of the Fathers condemneth the Practice of all Christian Churches robbeth God of his Justice maketh him a Mocker and is contradicted by the Romanists own Tenents BIshop Fisher saith Ex Purgatorio p●…det omnis Indulgentiatum estimatio The whole price of Indulgences hangeth on Purgatory Purgatory again hangeth altogether upon the necessity pretended to lye upon the faithful of their fully satisfying through their payment to God the Divine Justice for their sins As for the necessity lying upon the faithful of their satisfying through payment to God the Divine Justice for their sins the same is overthrown already and by consequence also Purgatory nevertheless I have not said for the doing thereof so much against the Doctrine of the one but as much may be said also against that of the other for that the faithful go after this life into a place of fire and torments and there remain till they are purged with satisfactory punishments which is the Papists Doctrine of Purgatory first overthroweth the Faith of the Gospel It is heavy news not glad tidings that they which believe in Christ shall besides their manifold crosses and punishments in this life go afterward to a place of far greater grief and sorrow The glad tidings of our Saviour Christ are quite contrary who saith Verily verily I say unto you he that heareth my words and believeth in him that sent me hath everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation but hath passed from death to life Joh. 5.24 And yet none can deny but this is the Faith of the Gospel this is the glad tidings to all true Christians and Believers in Christ and the same is confirmed by a double Oath that they which hear his Word and believe in God his Father have everlasting life that is are as sure of it as if they had it already and shall not come into condemnation either of temporal punishment after this life or of eternal but have passed from death to life that is from hence to joy and felicity Moreover the Prophet David saith unto God If thou Lord wilt be extreme to mark what is done a miss who is able to abide it Psal 130.3 intimating to us that God will not call his to a strict account Christ will not be ashamed of those that are his before God and the holy Angels Luk. 9.16 There shall be no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus Rom. 8.1 Almighty God having compleated in six days the Creation of the World the seventh day rested from all his Works even so Christ having wrought our Redemption all that do here truly believe in him and are careful to perform good works at their departure hence shall enter into rest They shall not need to fear Purgatory but as God rested from all his labours so they shall rest from all their troubles This was declared to S. John from Heaven I heard a voice saith he from Heaven saying unto me write blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth even so saith the Spirit for they rest from their labours and their works follow them Rev. 14.13 The like is testified by the Prophet Isaiah who speaking of the death of the Righteous saith The righteous is taken away from the evil to come he shall enter into pence they shall rest in their Beds each one walking in his uprightness Esa 57.1.2 Poor Lazaries was no sooner departed this life but was carried by Angels into Abraham's bosom where he was comforted and refreshed Luk. 16.22 Jesus Christ said to the good Thief at his death This day thou shalt be with me in Paradise Luk. 23.43 And good old Simeon made no account but to enter into rest after his death saying Lord now let test thou thy servant depart in peace Luk. 2.26.29 S. Paul saith If God be with us who can be against us He that spared not his own Son but delivered him up for us all how shall he not also with him freely give us all things Rom. 8.31 32. Here is the Riches of all good Christians God so loved them that he gave them his Son how much more will he not give them all things else But they are sinners they are unprofitable servants they are Prodigal Children this will turn away Gods favour from them but against this heavy news here is comfort who will lay any thing to the charge of Gods Chosen It is God that justifieth who shall condemn it is Christ which is dead yea or rather which is risen again who is also at the right hand of God and maketh request for us Rom. 8.33 34. Though we often displease God even daily yet we know Christ is his beloved Son in whom the Father is well pleased and for whose sake we are accepted And those whom he accounteth his 't is in vain for Satan to strive against for they appear before God clad in the righteousness of Jesus Christ Since this therefore is the glad tidings of the Gospel to wit That he that heareth the word of Christ and believeth in him that sent him hath everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation but hath passed from death to life and is confirmed also by all the aforesaid Testimonies let the Deaf Papists and all Counterfeit Catholicks which will neither hear his Word nor think they are bound to know and understand it take heed lest by this their obstinacy and stopping their ears to go not into Purgatory but into Hell for S. Paul saith and no doubt he said it not in vain but it shall have its force in some and therefore mark it well The Lord Jesus shall come himself from Heaven with his mighty Angels in flaming fire rendering vengeance to them that know not God and obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ 1 Thes 1.8 And how can they obey the Gospel when they know it not and refuse to hear it neither shall their Ignorance the blind Mother of their Devotion excuse them for Christ shall render vengeance to them that know not God Secondly The Doctrine of Purgatory is against the Authority of Christ for he saith Father I will that they which thou bast given me be with me even where I am that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the World Joh. 17.24 This is Christs Will And what Pope what Devil can withstand it and he excepteth none All his shall be with him all good Christians as well great as small all his Members as well weak as strong he will not suffer the least of them to endure a moment the Fire of Purgatory And when this shall be that they shall be with him S. Paul plainly

The soule of the godly being separated from their bodies are in rest but the souls of the ungodly suffer punishment until the bodies of them do rise again unto everlasting life and the bodies of these to eternal death which is called the second death In his Book of the Vanity of the World Tom. 9. Chap. 1. he saith Scitote quod cum anima à corpore evellitur aut in Paradiso pro meritis bonis collocatur aut certe pro peccatis in inferni tartara praecipitatur Know that when the soul departeth out of the body it is presently placed in Paradise because of her good works or is thrown down head-long into the Pit of Hell because of her sins And in the second Sermon of the Consolation of the Dead which is in the ninth Tome of his works he saith Recedens anima ab Angelis suscipitur collocatur aut-in sinu Abrahae si fidelis est aut in carceris inferni custodia si peccatrix est The soul going out of the body is received and placed in Abraham's Bosom if it be faithful or in the Infernal Prison of Hell if it be sinful And moreover in his 232. Sermon against Drunkenness he saith Nemo se decipiat Fratres duo enim loca sunt tertius non est ullus Qui cumt Christo regnare non meruerit cum Diabolo absque dubitutione ulla Peribit Let no man deceive himself my Brethren there are but two places and a third there is not any He that shall not merit to reign with Christ shall without doubt perish with the Devil S. Hierome upon the ninth of the Prophet Amos saith Quando anima vinculis larata-corporit volandi quò velit sive quò ire compellitur propter tenuitatem substantiae habuerit libertatem aut ad inferna Ducetur aut certe ad Coelestia sublevabitur When the soul loosed from the bonds of the body shall be at liberty because of the lightness of its substance to fly whither it will or whither it is constrained to go it shall either be carried to Hell or without fail be lifted up to Heaven And Gregory Nyssen in the Book of those that sleep saith Per mortem soluto Bello quod in nobis est pacem mens agitat The War that is in us being ended by death our souls rest Yea the Fathers were so far from believing that faithful souls are tormented in fire until the-Resurrection as the Papists would make men believe that very many of them held that the soul separated from the body could not suffer any torment Chrysostome in his 39. Homily upon the first Epistle to the Corinthiane saith 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Although the soul remaineth although it were ten thousand times immortal as in truth it is it shall not without the body receive those unspeakable blessings nor suffer any punishment Gregory Nissen in his third Oration upon the Resurrection of Christ saith Animam per se separatim ignis nunquam attigerit nec tenebrae quidem ei molestae fuerint utpote quae oculis caret c. Fire can never touch the soul separated from the body neither can darkness be troublesome to it because it wanteth eyes c. Tertullian in his Apology Chap. 48. saith Neque pati quicquam potest anima sola sine stabili materia id est Carne The soul alone cannot suffer any thing without solid matter that is the Flesh Another affirmeth that it is injustice to punish the soul for sin before the Resurrection in regard the body hath been partaker with her but he will have the body and soul as they have sinned both together to be punished both together saying If sins shall be punished before the Resurrection God shall not deal justly with the soul for she alone would be put to suffer the punishment of those things which she offended in the life at the porturbation of the body drawing her to these appetites and motions And according to S. Ambrose in his tenth Chapter of the Book of the benefit of death all the punishment that souls suffer being separated from their bodies is that they remain in great fear and disquietness attending the punishment that is prepared for them at the latter day Fourthly The Doctrine of Purgatory condemneth the practice of all Christian Churches For it cannot be but an exceeding great breach of duty in them all but especially in those that believe the souls of the dead may be benefitted by the prayers of the living if they do not pray for the souls therein for this is not to do by others as they would have others to do by them and therefore is against both the Law and Prophets and directly opposite to the Command of Christ And that this is the continual practice of all Christian Churches is manifest for the Greek and all other Eastern Churches notwithstanding they daily pray for the dead yet they never pray for the souls in Purgatory for indeed they believe there is no Purgatory but the prayers they offer up for the dead are that they may be saved at the Resurrection Likewise the Church of Rome although it pray daily for the souls departed yet it never prayeth for the souls in Purgatory nor once craveth their deliverance thence And although this may seem strange in regard of the many Masses she daily by her Priests undertaketh to say for the souls therein yet if we consider the reason 't is no wonder at all for when the prayers used in her said Masses were first hatched she did not believe of her now Purgatory but the belief thereof through the great profit she perceived might thereby accrue to her Pope and Clergy hath been infused into her fancy since And to the end the same may appear truth to wit that she prayeth not at all for the souls in Purgatory I shall here give you an account of the prayers she at any time useth for the souls departed The first of which is a very foolish prayer in the Canon of her common Mass the which is this Memento etiam Domine Famulorum Famularum tuarum here is made a particular mention of certain particular dead Folks whom it pleaseth the Priest to name and after is added qui nos praecesserunt cum signo fidei dormiunt in somno pacis c. Remember O Lord thy Servants and Handmaids that have gone before us with the sign of Faith and sleep in the sleep of Peace To these O Lord and to all those that rest in Christ we pray thee that thou wilt grant place of comfort of light and peace through the same Christ our Lord Amen I call this prayer foolish because it speaketh against it self For first it confesseth that the dead do sleep in the sleep of Peace and that they rest in Christ and yet notwithstanding afterward it desireth that God would give them place of comfort of light and peace For if they sleep in the sleep of Peace and rest in Christ have

they not the place of peace What need is there to ask that those that sleep in peace should have the place of peace Is it not all one to sleep in peace and to have the place of peace to rest in Christ and to have the place of comfort If souls be tormented in Purgatory yet they are not dead in their torment there how therefore can they be said to rest Peradventure the Defenders of the Canon of the Mass will answer that this prayer speaketh of the body when it saith that the dead sleep and not of the soul Well suppose it do for the soul indeed sleepeth not but only the body but it saith also that they have quietness and rest which speech cannot well be understood of the body but of that part that may be troubled for what rest can it be to rest in that part that can feel no manner of thing without the soul and to be troubled in that part which indeed feeleth and liveth When they say in their service for the dead Requiescant in pace let them rest in peace doubtless they mean to speak of the soul and not of the body forasmuch as there is no need to pray that the body of the dead should rest because that of necessity it doth rest but the soul may as they think have trouble and pain in Purgatory and therefore they pray that they may have rest as concerning the foul S. John in the Apocalypse when he saith Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord Why doth the Spirit say that from henceforth they rest from their labours Will we say that he speaketh there of the rest of the body and not of the soul If he speak of the body what Prerogative have the bodies of the Just until the day of Judgment more than the bodies of the Wicked since the one and other would rest equally and there would be no difference in this point And yet S. John maketh a difference between them for he calleth them the Dead in the Lord that is to say the Just blessed And why blessed because that from henceforth they shall rest from their labour and be in quiet giving to understand that the other do not rest from their labour but have more than ever they had because they be damned to everlasting pain So that when the rest of the Just is spoken of there is meant the rest of the soul and not of the body Being then thus that this prayer in the one part affirmeth that the Just sleep in peace and rest in Christ and in the other part desireth that God would give them a place of peace and comfort it plainly appeareth that this prayer speaketh against it self and is absurd and foolish But to return to the matter in hand in the said prayer you see is no mention at all of the souls that broil in Purgatory but of the souls that sleep in peace and rest in Christ The second prayer by which she prayeth for the souls departed is a prayer in her Mass for the dead and the same desireth that the soul of the Man or Woman departed to wit for whom it prayeth may not be given into the hands of the Enemy but be received by the holy Angels and carried into the Country of Paradise to the end that having believed and hoped it may not suffer everlasting pain but possess everlasting joys But here she neither speaketh of the pains of Purgatory nor prayeth for the souls in Purgatory for such a request doth not agree with the pains of Purgatory for the pains of Purgatory they say are temporal but the pains mentioned in this prayer are eternal Neither doth it agree with the souls in Purgatory for the souls in Purgatory she will have to be such as departed this World in the state of Grace which as she granteth her self are neither in peril nor possibility of suffering eternal pain whereas the souls prayed for here as the prayer it self giveth us to understand are such as are subject and liable to eternal damnation for it prayeth they may not be given into the hands of the Enemy nor suffer everlasting pain The third prayer with which she prayeth for the souls departed is also in her Mass for the Dead and is commonly called the Offertory the which is as followeth Domine Jesu Christe Rex gloriae libera animas omnium fidelium defunctorum de manu inferni de profundo lacu libera eas de ore leonis ne absorbeat eas tartarus sed signifer S. Michael repraesentet eas in lucem sanctam c. O Lord Jesus Christ King of Glory deliver the souls of all faithful dead from the pains of Hell and from the deep Lake deliver them from the mouth of the Lyon that Hell may not swallow them up but that thy Standard-Bearer S. Michael may present them in the holy Light the which in time past thou didst promise to Abraham and his Seed But in this Offertory you see there is not a word spoke of Purgatory but of Hell and the deep Lake and the Mouth of the Lyon all which cannot agree with Purgatory but with the place of the damned Likewise the souls here spoke of cannot be the souls in Purgatory for they as she holdeth her self are not in the least danger of being swallowed up into Hell however so far therein but that S Michael their Standard-Bearer as she calleth him may be able to present them when it shall please God into the holy light but this prayer desireth that the souls it prayeth for may not be swallowed up into Hell and in such sort but that S. Michael their Standard-bearer may present them into the holy light Her other prayers for the Souls departed are certain Ejaculations to wit Fidelium animae per misericordiam Dei requiescant in Pace Let the faithful Souls by the mercy of God rest in peace Requiem aeternam dona eis domine Give them O Lord eternal rest A Porta inferi erue Domine animas corum Deliver their Souls O Lord from the gates of Hell But in these Ejaculations also there is no mention at all either of Purgatory or of the Souls in Purgatory and besides the Ejaculations also are needless For as for the rest here spoke of She acknowledgeth in the aforesaid Prayer in the Canon of her common Mass they have the same already and as for the Gates of Hell they never enter them But suppose they did enter them out of Hell there is no redemption and so she prayeth in vain This latter also and moreover the two prayers before mentioned in the Mass for the dead are no better than blasphemous for they give us to understand that the Souls of the Faithful departed this life may be damned in Hell and that to all Eternity 15ly The Doctrine of Purgatory robbeth God of his Justice For since the sins of the Faithful are sufficiently satisfied for by the Death of Christ since God in him forgiveth
