without_o any_o ground_n in_o scripture_n or_o antiquity_n 13._o in_o his_o eleven_o number_n he_o treat_v the_o famous_a place_n take_v out_o of_o the_o three_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o to_o the_o corinth_n but_o so_o as_o if_o he_o aim_v not_o to_o give_v the_o sense_n of_o it_o but_o only_o to_o wave_v the_o force_n from_o his_o opinion_n no_o matter_n how_o much_o against_o the_o

that_o it_o be_v mean_v of_o no_o material_a fire_n but_o of_o the_o fire_n of_o the_o district_n judgement_n but_o this_o be_v to_o prevaricate_v against_o themselves_o who_o agree_v there_o be_v a_o

now_o so_o far_o be_v the_o common_a faith_n of_o christian_n it_o be_v against_o all_o sense_n to_o say_v this_o be_v not_o the_o fire_n which_o shall_v try_v the_o work_n of_o all_o man_n for_o the_o apostle_n give_v for_o proof_n or_o ground_n why_o all_o man_n work_n shall_v be_v try_v by_o fire_n because_o say_v he_o that_o day_n shall_v be_v reveal_v in_o fire_n what_o a_o strange_a perversion_n then_o of_o the_o text_n be_v it_o to_o make_v the_o apostle_n make_v this_o argument_n the_o day_n of_o judgement_n shall_v be_v reveal_v in_o material_a and_o elemental_a fire_n therefore_o the_o work_n of_o man_n shall_v be_v try_v by_o god_n judgement_n or_o spiritual_a districtness_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v the_o sense_n give_v to_o the_o apostle_n word_n by_o this_o

judgement_n and_o this_o explication_n 〈◊〉_d more_o against_o the_o text_n than_o the_o other_o for_o this_o ground_n which_o the_o apostle_n take_v that_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n shall_v be_v reveal_v in_o fire_n can_v be_v no_o more_o bring_v for_o the_o cause_n why_o the_o sinner_n work_n shall_v be_v try_v by_o a_o precedent_a fire_n then_o why_o they_o shall_v be_v try_v by_o god_n judgement_n and_o beside_o the_o apostle_n so_o express_o say_v that_o every_o one_o work_n shall_v be_v try_v by_o the_o fire_n in_o that_o day_n or_o of_o that_o day_n that_o nothing_o can_v be_v speak_v more_o plain_o against_o the_o text_n then_o to_o say_v it_o be_v mean_v of_o another_o fire_n which_o go_v before_o likewise_o that_o speech_n that_o who_o work_n abide_v the_o fire_n he_o shall_v be_v reward_v but_o if_o any_o man_n bourn_n he_o shall_v suffer_v detriment_n be_v plain_o speak_v of_o the_o fire_n of_o that_o day_n so_o that_o such_o a_o interpretation_n be_v a_o plain_a corruption_n and_o no_o less_o can_v be_v say_v of_o his_o three_o explication_n that_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o the_o fire_n shall_v manifest_v that_o be_v show_v what_o be_v do_v before_o but_o not_o do_v any_o thing_n for_o those_o word_n if_o any_o man_n work_n burn_v he_o shall_v suffer_v detriment_n can_v be_v understand_v of_o what_o be_v pass_v before_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n but_o of_o what_o be_v do_v in_o that_o day_n and_o therefore_o the_o try_v he_o speak_v of_o must_v necessary_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o fire_n upon_o the_o sinner_n work_n so_o that_o it_o be_v evident_a he_o and_o his_o bellarmin_n do_v not_o explicate_v but_o corrupt_v the_o text_n against_o the_o plain_a word_n of_o the_o apostle_n 14._o the_o nine_o text_n concern_v the_o remission_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o next_o world_n be_v bring_v to_o show_v that_o
some_o sin_n remain_v true_o in_o purgatory_n to_o be_v purge_v and_o that_o if_o only_a pain_n be_v put_v in_o purgatory_n it_o be_v no_o purgatory_n this_o consequence_n we_o handle_v before_o when_o he_o press_v we_o put_v no_o purgatory_n because_o there_o be_v nothing_o purge_v until_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n ch._n 17._o n._n 4._o where_o i_o show_v how_o he_o himself_o acknowledge_v that_o there_o must_v be_v something_o that_o have_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o blemish_n that_o purgation_n be_v necessary_a his_o first_o objection_n be_v that_o calvin_n use_v this_o argument_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v the_o fault_n of_o they_o who_o explicate_v purgatory_n as_o bellarmin_n and_o he_o do_v to_o give_v such_o a_o advantage_n to_o heretic_n by_o evil_a explicate_a our_o faith_n that_o their_o argument_n though_o otherwise_o weak_a against_o faith_n yet_o be_v demonstrative_a against_o it_o in_o their_o explication_n his_o second_o solution_n be_v to_o fall_v into_o that_o condemn_a heresy_n that_o after_o the_o soul_n be_v perfect_o purge_v yet_o they_o remain_v in_o purgatory_n for_o he_o will_v needs_o put_v a_o most_o intense_a act_n of_o charity_n and_o contrition_n for_o the_o first_o act_n of_o the_o soul_n separate_v which_o expel_v the_o guilt_n of_o venial_a sin_n and_o by_o consequence_n the_o soul_n after_o they_o be_v purge_v remain_v to_o be_v torment_v beside_o he_o do_v not_o reflect_v that_o if_o this_o act_n can_v deserve_v the_o remission_n of_o the_o sin_n it_o can_v also_o the_o remission_n of_o all_o pain_n which_o doctor_n assign_v to_o perfect_a contrition_n his_o three_o solution_n be_v that_o by_o the_o name_n of_o sin_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v lyability_n to_o punishment_n which_o be_v very_o true_a if_o it_o be_v take_v proportional_o as_o it_o ought_v for_o there_o can_v be_v neither_o sin_n without_o pain_n due_a to_o it_o nor_o owe_v of_o pain_n but_o by_o s●n_n but_o the_o mystery_n be_v that_o he_o will_v not_o understand_v this_o though_o a_o man_n shall_v beat_v it_o into_o he_o with_o a_o pestle_n but_o will_v if_o you_o say_v the_o sin_n be_v not_o whole_o remit_v as_o long_o as_o pain_n be_v due_a for_o it_o cite_v you_o i_o know_v not_o how_o many_o text_n of_o council_n against_o you_o and_o yet_o now_o he_o can_v cite_v out_o of_o st._n thomas_n that_o the_o remission_n of_o the_o pain_n belong_v to_o the_o entire_a remission_n of_o the_o sin_n and_o promise_v he_o will_v show_v it_o to_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o father_n which_o i_o shall_v be_v thankful_a to_o he_o for_o because_o it_o be_v a_o most_o plain_a truth_n but_o yet_o i_o can_v allow_v his_o consequence_n that_o when_o our_o saviour_n say_v that_o a_o sin_n shall_v not_o be_v forgive_v either_o in_o this_o world_n or_o in_o the_o next_o it_o must_v in_o this_o world_n signify_v guilt_n and_o in_o the_o other_o only_a pain_n for_o our_o saviour_n do_v not_o use_v to_o make_v his_o word_n straddle_v so_o wide_a as_o within_o three_o word_n and_o continue_v the_o same_o proposition_n to_o make_v a_o double_a sense_n of_o the_o same_o word_n he_o conclude_v that_o hitherto_o his_o adversary_n have_v bring_v no_o demonstration_n which_o whether_o it_o be_v true_a or_o no_o let_v wise_a man_n than_o judge_n i_o can_v only_o say_v that_o he_o have_v solve_v no_o one_o authority_n with_o any_o colourable_a answer_n but_o either_o by_o fall_v into_o error_n or_o abuse_v the_o word_n of_o scripture_n by_o paraphrase_n or_o inconsequent_a explication_n which_o be_v easy_o make_v appear_v to_o any_o one_o who_o attentive_o read_v my_o reply_v four_o division_n contain_v a_o answer_n to_o his_o nineteen_o chapter_n the_o testimony_n from_o father_n and_o

have_v bring_v to_o the_o paucity_n of_o i_o to_o which_o i_o have_v nothing_o to_o say_v for_o a_o comparison_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v make_v before_o both_o part_n be_v see_v and_o he_o will_v

to_o have_v cite_v plentiful_o to_o wit_n one_o class_n of_o they_o who_o speak_v of_o our_o saviour_n resurrection_n in_o which_o we_o be_v more_o forward_o than_o he_o that_o all_o soul_n be_v then_o deliver_v another_o class_n of_o such_o testimony_n as_o be_v confess_o erroneous_a and_o heretical_a the_o rest_n of_o father_n speak_v in_o common_a what_o we_o both_o agree_v in_o unless_o st._n julian_n of_o who_o i_o can_v pronounce_v have_v not_o see_v the_o book_n last_o certain_a story_n which_o some_o father_n mention_n your_o great_a divine_a make_v no_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o state_v of_o divinity_n and_o tell_v of_o news_n but_o parallel_v what_o a_o father_n say_v he_o hear_v to_o what_o the_o church_n receive_v from_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n be_v not_o this_o think_v you_o a_o goodly_a score_n to_o vaunt_v so_o much_o of_o he_o add_v for_o the_o last_o thousand_o year_n not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o whisper_n of_o any_o one_o father_n in_o what_o age_n then_o live_v alacinus_n st._n anselm_n and_o st._n thomas_n who_o be_v cite_v for_o hold_v the_o fire_n of_o judgement_n to_o be_v the_o fire_n of_o purgatory_n and_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n the_o beginner_n of_o the_o schoolman_n 2._o in_o his_o second_o number_n he_o come_v to_o the_o objection_n before_o i_o begin_v they_o i_o must_v give_v you_o a_o short_a note_n of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n you_o be_v therefore_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o two_o famous_a proposition_n in_o antiquity_n which_o modern_a use_n have_v much_o relinquish_v the_o one_o be_v that_o in_o the_o primitive_a church_n the_o day_n of_o judgement_n be_v hot_o propose_v to_o christian_n as_o in_o which_o both_o reward_n and_o punishment_n be_v to_o be_v expect_v whereas_o now_o adays_o all_o the_o preach_v almost_o tend_v to_o the_o present_a go_v to_o heaven_n or_o to_o hell_n and_o this_o be_v so_o plain_o thathe_v himself_o render_v cause_n why_o it_o be_v so_o the_o second_o doctrine_n be_v that_o because_o some_o soul_n need_v purge_v and_o this_o be_v apprehend_v to_o depend_v of_o judgement_n also_o the_o day_n in_o which_o the_o reward_n or_o punishment_n be_v give_v be_v depute_v for_o the_o purge_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o need_v purgation_n this_o purge_n be_v by_o the_o saint_n general_o take_v to_o be_v do_v by_o fire_n &_o therefore_o of_o the_o last_o conflagration_n and_o other_o purge_n we_o hear_v not_o of_o until_o private_a revelation_n take_v authority_n to_o build_v divinity_n new_a principle_n since_o which_o time_n almost_o all_o the_o devotion_n of_o the_o latin_a church_n run_v after_o the_o delivery_n of_o soul_n from_o present_a pain_n of_o fire_n which_o the_o greek_a church_n profess_v in_o the_o council_n of_o florence_n not_o to_o have_v hear_v of_o but_o as_o in_o the_o former_a proposition_n the_o difference_n betwixt_o antiquity_n and_o the_o present_a use_n make_v not_o either_o reprehensible_a so_o in_o this_o late_a question_n there_o be_v no_o formal_a opposition_n but_o the_o essence_n purgatory_n be_v conserve_v in_o both_o to_o wit_n that_o some_o soul_n be_v in_o torment_n until_o they_o be_v deliver_v but_o antiquity_n make_v no_o mention_n of_o any_o delivery_n but_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n our_o late_a revelation_n make_v irregular_a delivery_n upon_o divers_a occasion_n now_o what_o i_o aim_n at_o in_o the_o citation_n of_o father_n be_v to_o show_v that_o the_o test●…_n bring_v out_o of_o they_o for_o purge_v of_o soul_n all_o or_o general_o speak_v of_o the_o day_n o●_n judgement_n so_o that_o as_o to_o the_o father_n the_o question_n be_v all_o one_o if_o whether_o there_o be_v a_o purgatory_n and_o whether_o the_o soul_n be_v release_v at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o all_o the_o authority_n which_o prove_v purgatory_n fire_n be_v such_o as_o to_o prove_v that_o fire_n to_o be_v at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n whence_o it_o follow_v that_o who_o will_v put_v a_o remission_n before_o must_v look_v for_o father_n who_o say_v that_o direct_o and_o not_o rely_v upon_o the_o common_a speech_n far_o the_o question_n be_v of_o that_o nature_n that_o it_o depend_v from_o solid_a revelation_n out_o of_o scripture_n or_o tradition_n and_o no_o less_o authority_n be_v able_a to_o make_v it_o a_o
respect_n to_o st._n austin_n that_o stick_v not_o to_o impose_v such_o a_o abominable_a error_n and_o blasphemy_n upon_o he_o as_o to_o say_v that_o god_n be_v so_o cruel_a as_o to_o punish_v a_o

he_o will_v see_v the_o necessity_n hereafter_o i_o settle_v therefore_o or_o rather_o explicate_v some_o principle_n necessary_a to_o the_o see_v how_o intimate_o my_o doctrine_n be_v connex_v with_o christian_a faith_n 2._o let_v the_o first_o be_v that_o god_n be_v essential_o wise_a and_o wisdom_n or_o truth_n or_o true_a understanding_n of_o his_o action_n and_o the_o government_n of_o they_o for_o if_o any_o man_n see_v what_o he_o shall_v do_v but_o by_o passion_n or_o rather_o distraction_n do_v not_o what_o he_o see_v shall_v be_v do_v we_o may_v call_v he_o understanding_n or_o know_v but_o not_o wise._n therefore_o god_n who_o essence_n it_o be_v to_o be_v wisdom_n can_v swerve_v from_o what_o he_o see_v to_o be_v do_v or_o best_a to_o be_v do_v ●or_a it_o be_v all_o one_o to_o he_o who_o be_v govern_v pure_o by_o wisdom_n to_o be_v best_a to_o be_v do_v and_o to_o be_v to_o be_v do_v because_o nothing_o but_o true_a good_a can_v move_v such_o a_o will_n and_o betwixt_o two_o unequal_a good_n the_o great_a be_v only_o the_o true_a good_n 3._o my_o second_o principle_n be_v that_o god_n be_v essential_o bliss_n and_o bless_a and_o that_o in_o so_o high_a and_o pure_a a_o degree_n that_o no_o good_a which_o be_v adventitious_a from_o either_o his_o own_o action_n or_o the_o action_n of_o any_o other_o substance_n can_v be_v want_v to_o he_o or_o desirable_a by_o he_o and_o because_o good_a signify_v desirable_a that_o there_o be_v no_o extrinsical_a good_a that_o can_v true_o challenge_v the_o denomination_n of_o a_o good_a to_o god_n honour_n for_o example_n be_v the_o good_a of_o a_o man_n upon_o two_o score_n one_o because_o when_o he_o hear_v himself_o commend_v he_o have_v a_o act_n of_o pleasure_n which_o perfect_v he_o intrinsical_o the_o other_o because_o honour_n bring_v he_o help_v to_o do_v somewhat_o which_o perfect_v he_o for_o example_n to_o get_v wealth_n or_o some_o office_n out_o of_o which_o he_o can_v gather_v contentment_n so_o that_o still_o the_o interior_a contentment_n be_v that_o which_o make_v the_o exterior_a instrument_n to_o have_v the_o name_n of_o good_n wherefore_o see_v christian_a religion_n teach_v we_o that_o god_n get_v no_o new_a contentment_n out_o of_o the_o effect_n his_o action_n have_v it_o be_v also_o necessary_a to_o believe_v the_o honour_n that_o all_o saint_n give_v he_o be_v no_o good_a of_o he_o 4._o out_o of_o these_o two_o follow_v the_o three_o that_o whatsoever_o god_n do_v he_o do_v it_o for_o the_o good_a of_o his_o creature_n and_o that_o when_o he_o say_v that_o he_o act_n for_o his_o own_o honour_n the_o meaning_n be_v that_o he_o work_v that_o other_o man_n who_o the_o action_n touch_v not_o see_v those_o he_o act_n upon_o well_o govern_v may_v be_v better_v and_o praise_v he_o and_o conceive_v a_o great_a apprehension_n of_o his_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n and_o by_o that_o mean_v the_o good_a of_o his_o whole_a mass_n of_o creature_n be_v perfect_v so_o that_o the_o honour_n he_o speak_v of_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o well_o order_v of_o his_o creature_n in_o which_o one_o principal_a and_o main_a part_n be_v that_o his_o rational_a creature_n have_v faith_n hope_n and_o charity_n which_o be_v all_o part_n of_o praise_v he_o so_o that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o look_v for_o a_o far_a end_n of_o god_n work_n than_o the_o perfection_n which_o be_v intrinsical_v to_o the_o universal_a mass_n of_o his_o creature_n 5._o the_o four_o be_v consequent_a to_o these_o to_o wit_n that_o see_v the_o good_a of_o his_o creature_n be_v his_o main_a end_n and_o the_o good_a of_o a_o creature_n be_v that_o which_o be_v desirable_a to_o that_o creature_n and_o every_o nature_n desire_v its_o own_o perfection_n and_o that_o perfect_v nature_n which_o make_v it_o able_a to_o do_v those_o action_n to_o which_o such_o a_o nature_n be_v instrumental_a or_o for_o which_o such_o a_o nature_n be_v make_v in_o perfection_n it_o follow_v that_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o whole_a mass_n of_o creature_n god_n action_n be_v still_o that_o which_o be_v most_o conformable_a unto_o it_o or_o to_o the_o nature_n of_o all_o creature_n but_o if_o we_o consider_v a_o particular_a nature_n upon_o which_o god_n act_v god_n action_n be_v that_o which_o be_v most_o conformable_a to_o such_o a_o nature_n as_o be_v in_o such_o a_o posture_n of_o nature_n in_o common_a or_o the_o best_a to_o this_o particular_a nature_n as_o far_o as_o it_o stand_v with_o the_o great_a good_a of_o the_o general_a mass._n whence_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o god_n never_o do_v nor_o will_v do_v any_o thing_n but_o conformable_o to_o the_o nature_n of_o creature_n and_o this_o you_o see_v evident_o out_o of_o the_o attribute_n of_o his_o wisdom_n and_o selfsufficiency_n which_o be_v main_a article_n of_o christian_a faith_n 6._o the_o five_o principle_n be_v that_o because_o man_n be_v the_o end_n of_o all_o material_a creature_n and_o man_n be_v to_o be_v govern_v by_o his_o own_o understanding_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o some_o thing_n or_o action_n be_v so_o do_v that_o the_o effect_n be_v not_o only_o perform_v but_o that_o they_o may_v be_v persuasive_a to_o man_n further_n because_o mankind_n be_v of_o a_o short_a apprehension_n and_o subject_a to_o follow_v his_o sense_n whereas_o his_o beatitude_n and_o chief_a good_a be_v beyond_o his_o reach_n therefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a god_n shall_v be_v the_o teacher_n of_o mankind_n and_o speak_v immediate_o to_o he_o in_o word_n and_o doctrine_n as_o he_o do_v to_o adam_n moses_n and_o the_o

cause_n with_o which_o we_o be_v familiar_a shall_v be_v in_o convenient_a occasion_n exhibit_v out_o of_o which_o it_o shall_v be_v know_v that_o a_o high_a hand_n give_v testimony_n to_o the_o word_n and_o doctrine_n deliver_v the_o special_a convenience_n which_o require_v such_o action_n god_n
alone_o know_v but_o it_o seem_v rational_a to_o think_v that_o a_o very_a private_a good_n can_v exact_v they_o but_o only_o such_o which_o either_o single_o or_o in_o multitude_n concur_v to_o a_o

for_o this_o be_v the_o main_a point_n of_o nature_n to_o bring_v man_n to_o bliss_n conformable_o to_o his_o nature_n that_o be_v by_o the_o way_n of_o persuasion_n what_o be_v most_o conformable_a
