only_o for_o soul_n in_o purgatory_n they_o have_v a_o reason_n for_o this_o their_o assertion_n but_o i_o pass_v it_o over_o because_o that_o m._n fowler_n himself_o do_v seem_v to_o incline_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o those_o his_o master_n for_o in_o the_o petition_n of_o his_o psalter_n he_o make_v mention_v only_o of_o such_o soul_n as_o be_v in_o purgatory_n but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o purgatory_n at_o all_o then_o be_v there_o no_o soul_n in_o purgatory_n to_o be_v pray_v for_o a_o vain_a petition_n than_o it_o be_v in_o this_o psalter_n and_o a_o needless_a diligence_n when_o m._n fowler_n show_v himself_o so_o diligent_a in_o pray_v for_o the_o soul_n in_o purgatory_n yea_o and_o it_o be_v more_o than_o vain_a to_o abuse_v the_o glorious_a name_n of_o jesus_n and_o of_o his_o bitter_a passion_n to_o this_o his_o vanity_n of_o purgatory_n now_o let_v we_o consider_v whether_o there_o be_v such_o a_o purgatory_n in_o which_o soul_n do_v suffer_v as_o they_o say_v the_o pain_n of_o scorch_a broil_v or_o burn_v till_o they_o be_v purge_v from_o their_o sin_n and_o relieve_v by_o the_o charitable_a deed_n of_o the_o live_n yea_o or_o no._n let_v we_o see_v who_o they_o be_v that_o do_v first_o speak_v of_o purgatory_n and_o how_o it_o pass_v from_o they_o to_o some_o of_o the_o old_a christian_n writer_n which_o do_v make_v mention_n thereof_o but_o very_o doubtful_o and_o divers_o in_o their_o write_n so_o shall_v it_o appear_v upon_o what_o faint_a ground_n purgatory_n be_v found_v first_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o purgatory_n can_v not_o be_v prove_v by_o any_o place_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n hy●ognost_n it_o be_v i_o say_v grant_v by_o one_o archepapist_n of_o this_o our_o age_n and_o also_o by_o a_o old_a writer_n of_o good_a antiquity_n but_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v the_o rule_n whereby_o our_o prayer_n be_v to_o be_v frame_v and_o it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o truth_n which_o do_v true_o teach_v we_o of_o the_o true_a be_v of_o thing_n so_o that_o unless_o god_n in_o his_o word_n do_v teach_v we_o that_o there_o be_v a_o purgatory_n we_o be_v not_o to_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v any_o and_o again_o upon_o that_o which_o god_n do_v promise_v we_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n we_o must_v ground_n our_o faith_n in_o the_o prayer_n which_o we_o do_v make_v to_o god_n for_o if_o we_o will_v due_o regard_v god_n good_a will_n with_o trust_n that_o he_o will_v hear_v our_o prayer_n and_o grant_v our_o request_n we_o must_v have_v both_o a_o promise_n of_o hear_v and_o a_o rule_n warrantinge_v the_o rightness_n of_o our_o request_n in_o the_o most_o holy_a word_n of_o god_n without_o which_o we_o can_v not_o true_o have_v any_o faith_n or_o assurance_n of_o the_o hear_n of_o our_o prayer_n without_o this_o knowledge_n we_o can_v make_v no_o true_a prayer_n it_o be_v no_o true_a prayer_n therefore_o which_o those_o man_n seem_v to_o make_v which_o have_v no_o understanding_n of_o god_n will_n nor_o trust_v in_o his_o promise_n turk_n jew_n and_o papist_n do_v prate_v in_o their_o ignorance_n and_o unbelief_n but_o that_o prate_n be_v not_o right_a pray_v now_o then_o let_v we_o admit_v it_o as_o a_o truth_n which_o be_v as_o you_o have_v hear_v confess_v that_o there_o be_v no_o holy_a scripture_n no_o word_n of_o god_n to_o warrant_v we_o this_o purgatory_n then_o have_v we_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n no_o assurance_n to_o ascertain_v we_o that_o there_o be_v any_o soul_n in_o purgatory_n nor_o commandment_n of_o god_n give_v to_o we_o to_o pray_v for_o soul_n in_o purgatory_n nor_o promise_v to_o believe_v that_o our_o prayer_n make_v for_o they_o can_v do_v they_o good_a if_o we_o have_v no_o assurance_n nor_o certeinety_n hereof_o we_o can_v not_o pray_v for_o soul_n in_o purgatory_n will_v you_o know_v then_o from_o whence_o this_o opinion_n of_o purgatory_n do_v come_v the_o first_o and_o most_o ancient_a promoter_n thereof_o be_v so_o far_o as_o i_o learn_v not_o god_n but_o plato_n the_o philosopher_n a_o man_n which_o do_v not_o true_o know_v god_n his_o opinion_n of_o purgatory_n as_o eusebius_n do_v report_v it_o euang_n be_v the_o most_o ancient_a record_n that_o i_o have_v red_a virgil_n the_o pagan_a poette_n have_v speak_v also_o of_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o purgatory_n be_v feign_v to_o be_v but_o from_o plato_n it_o shall_v seem_v to_o be_v convey_v to_o other_o who_o accord_v to_o their_o fantasy_n lay_v the_o first_o platform_n of_o a_o purgatory_n even_o that_o whereon_o the_o papist_n have_v build_v this_o their_o purgatory_n which_o build_v by_o the_o papist_n be_v not_o yet_o so_o handsome_o couch_v together_o but_o that_o their_o own_o father_n assemble_v in_o the_o last_o council_n of_o trent_n think_v good_a by_o way_n of_o correction_n to_o give_v this_o admonition_n to_o they_o of_o their_o foot_n trident_n that_o they_o do_v not_o hereafter_o in_o their_o sermon_n before_o the_o common_a people_n handle_v the_o hard_a and_o dark_a question_n touch_v purgatory_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o meddle_v with_o such_o uncertain_a thing_n touch_v purgatory_n as_o be_v think_v to_o be_v false_a they_o do_v also_o forbid_v they_o to_o handle_v those_o thing_n touch_v purgatory_n which_o do_v savour_v of_o curiosity_n or_o concern_v superstition_n or_o savour_v of_o filthy_a lucre_n and_o those_o father_n as_o popish_a as_o they_o be_v do_v yet_o command_v they_o who_o they_o may_v command_v that_o they_o let_v these_o thing_n alone_o as_o offence_n by_o this_o forbid_v now_o it_o appear_v that_o before_o this_o time_n the_o purgatory_n proctor_n use_v to_o publish_v such_o thing_n of_o purgatory_n and_o for_o it_o as_o this_o council_n now_o forbid_v else_o why_o do_v it_o now_o forbid_v they_o and_o so_o by_o the_o word_n of_o papist_n themselves_o we_o may_v perceive_v that_o they_o have_v have_v among_o they_o such_o proctor_n for_o their_o purgatory_n as_o have_v handle_v it_o so_o corrupt_o that_o they_o themselves_o be_v ashamed_a thereof_o and_o do_v forbid_v the_o like_a and_o yet_o do_v these_o popish_a father_n in_o that_o council_n underprop_v this_o purgatory_n by_o their_o authority_n still_o but_o if_o they_o do_v mean_a in_o good_a earnest_n to_o take_v from_o their_o purgatory_n all_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v uncertain_a and_o false_a or_o curious_a or_o superstitious_a and_o such_o as_o serve_v for_o filthy_a gain_n or_o lucre_n let_v they_o i_o say_v pare_v all_o these_o thing_n from_o their_o purgatory_n in_o good_a earnest_n and_o sure_o they_o shall_v leave_v to_o their_o pope_n then_o such_o a_o simple_a purgatory_n as_o be_v not_o able_a to_o be_v a_o sufficient_a pinfold_n to_o impounde_v a_o poor_a pig_n but_o as_o be_v say_v they_o and_o their_o father_n will_v needs_o maintain_v their_o purgatory_n for_o they_o have_v take_v in_o hand_n the_o defence_n thereof_o and_o it_o serve_v so_o well_o for_o their_o purse_n and_o purpose_n that_o it_o deserve_v their_o defence_n they_o say_v that_o their_o church_n have_v learn_v it_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o i_o say_v nay_o and_o some_o of_o their_o own_o man_n and_o their_o elder_n also_o do_v say_v nay_o as_o be_v touch_v before_o neither_o do_v they_o themselves_o show_v unto_o we_o any_o one_o place_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n in_o which_o we_o be_v teach_v the_o same_o purgatory_n on_o which_o they_o do_v conclude_v this_o now_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n as_o papist_n call_v their_o romish_a church_n in_o their_o council_n to_o conclude_v canon_n and_o article_n of_o the_o faith_n without_o any_o scripture_n they_o tell_v we_o that_o they_o have_v it_o also_o of_o the_o ancient_a tradition_n of_o the_o father_n hereof_o the_o reader_n shall_v be_v inform_v more_o hereafter_o again_o they_o say_v that_o this_o purgatory_n be_v deliver_v to_o they_o in_o holy_a council_n a_o man_n will_v think_v that_o these_o tridentine_a prelate_n do_v mean_v some_o of_o the_o first_o ancient_a holy_a counsel_n as_o that_o first_o council_n hold_v at_o nice_a or_o that_o at_o ephesus_n or_o some_o of_o the_o other_o old_a holy_a counsel_n but_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n make_v in_o any_o of_o they_o either_o of_o this_o purgatory_n or_o of_o the_o soul_n in_o it_o or_o how_o they_o be_v to_o be_v relieve_v by_o the_o do_n of_o live_n man_n yea_o if_o search_n be_v make_v in_o the_o tome_n of_o the_o council_n it_o will_v be_v find_v true_a i_o think_v that_o the_o first_o general_a council_n which_o do_v set_v this_o purgatory_n on_o foot_n by_o conclude_v thereon_o be_v that_o late_a council_n begin_v by_o pope_n eugenius_n at_o ferrara_n continue_v and_o end_v at_o florence_n about_o the_o year_n of_o our_o lord_n 1439._o so_o
