which_o we_o see_v among_o even_o our_o modern_n many_o profess_v not_o to_o understand_v and_o many_o of_o those_o who_o profess_v to_o understand_v it_o by_o their_o gross_a explication_n show_v they_o do_v not_o penetrate_v it_o but_o you_o may_v ask_v what_o then_o be_v the_o force_n of_o our_o saviour_n argument_n i_o answer_v that_o we_o have_v it_o from_o our_o saviour_n himself_o who_o tell_v his_o apostle_n that_o lazarus_n be_v asleep_a not_o dead_a and_o the_o like_a he_o speak_v of_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o synagogue_n daughter_n and_o the_o phrase_n among_o christian_n be_v use_v of_o all_o the_o faithful_a and_o so_o we_o sing_v regem_fw-la cui_fw-la omne_fw-la vivunt_fw-la venite_fw-la adoremus_fw-la and_o st._n paul_n express_v it_o in_o the_o word_n than_o say_v he_o those_o who_o have_v fall_v asleep_o in_o christ_n be_v perish_v when_o then_o our_o saviour_n say_v god_n be_v not_o god_n of_o the_o dead_a this_o word_n dead_a must_v be_v take_v for_o perish_a according_a to_o what_o st._n paul_n comfort_v the_o christian_n and_o tell_v they_o they_o must_v not_o be_v sorrowful_a at_o their_o friend_n death_n as_o gentile_n be_v and_o give_v the_o reason_n qui_fw-fr spem_fw-la non_fw-la habent_fw-la that_o be_v who_o expect_v no_o resurrection_n but_o think_v their_o dead_a for_o ever_o perish_v and_o not_o to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o sleep_n until_o the_o last_o trumpet_n awake_v they_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o deep_a mystery_n in_o our_o saviour_n word_n which_o neither_o please_v bellarmin_n nor_o his_o admirer_n to_o wit_n that_o because_o all_o thing_n be_v present_a to_o god_n in_o eternity_n therefore_o no_o future_a thing_n be_v absent_a to_o god_n so_o that_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n do_v live_v to_o god_n and_o as_o to_o god_n be_v real_o live_v 6._o he_o press_v also_o that_o st._n paul_n urge_v the_o like_a argument_n say_v that_o if_o there_o be_v no_o resurrection_n let_v we_o eat_v and_o drink_v for_o tomorrow_o we_o shall_v die_v but_o this_o argument_n show_v plain_o that_o his_o former_a solution_n be_v naught_o for_o st._n paul_n speak_v not_o to_o sadducee_n but_o rather_o to_o pharisees_n to_o who_o belong_v the_o custom_n of_o often_o baptism_n which_o he_o there_o urge_v therefore_o it_o depend_v not_o out_o of_o the_o connexion_n of_o the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o resurrection_n but_o rather_o it_o suppose_v the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o be_v a_o thing_n not_o know_v to_o the_o vulgar_a for_o according_a to_o that_o say_n of_o he_o sapientiam_fw-la loquimur_fw-la inter_fw-la perfect●s_fw-la he_o apply_v his_o doctrine_n to_o his_o auditory_a to_o the_o multitude_n he_o preach_v what_o they_o be_v capable_a of_o 〈◊〉_d be_v he_o propose_v the_o

no_o reward_n so_o you_o see_v this_o solid_a resolution_n of_o bellarmin_n to_o be_v compound_v of_o pure_a mistake_n and_o improbability_n and_o yet_o if_o his_o worship_n have_v be_v so_o curious_a he_o may_v have_v find_v it_o confute_v in_o the_o three_o account_n of_o the_o book_n whence_o he_o read_v the_o objection_n make_v though_o bellarmin_n be_v not_o by_o name_n cite_v not_o every_o

such_o as_o depend_v from_o the_o authority_n of_o their_o preacher_n if_o he_o see_v it_o prove_v that_o all_o antiquity_n be_v against_o what_o his_o preacher_n teach_v be_v present_o strike_v with_o a_o horror_n and_o begin_v to_o waver_v because_o it_o be_v natural_a to_o man_n to_o love_n and_o adhere_v to_o their_o ancestor_n so_o those_o who_o be_v waver_v among_o the_o jew_n upon_o the_o persuasion_n of_o the_o gentile_n when_o they_o see_v the_o public_a profession_n of_o their_o country_n in_o the_o fact_n of_o judas_n maccabaeus_n will_v be_v much_o solicit_v to_o forgo_v

for_o the_o dead_a and_o his_o argument_n be_v as_o strong_a as_o that_o when_o we_o out_o of_o pray_v for_o the_o dead_a prove_v a_o purgatory_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o next_o world_n so_o do_v st._n paul_n prove_v the_o resurrection_n whence_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o he_o teach_v the_o christian_n to_o pray_v for_o that_o good_a to_o the_o dead_a which_o they_o be_v to_o receive_v at_o the_o resurrection_n and_o by_o consequence_n that_o all_o the_o good_a the_o dead_a can_v receive_v before_o that_o day_n be_v already_o receive_v before_o they_o be_v pray_v for_o 9_o the_o three_o text_n he_o dissemble_v to_o understand_v and_o for_o that_o reason_n with_o his_o paraphrase_n corrupt_v the_o text_n the_o text_n itself_o say_v that_o his_o spirit_n or_o soul_n may_v

our_o prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a must_v be_v that_o they_o may_v receive_v their_o reward_n at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n for_o although_o tradition_n do_v not_o express_o teach_v the_o

the_o whole_a life-time_n of_o a_o incorporate_a soul_n what_o must_v or_o can_v we_o think_v but_o that_o all_o this_o contradiction_n of_o will_n must_v be_v at_o once_o in_o a_o imperfect_a separate_a soul_n which_o be_v in_o our_o life_n in_o part_n and_o separate_v in_o time_n 8._o he_o say_v again_o philosophy_n teach_v he_o that_o no_o body_n love_v evil_a clear_o apprehend_v to_o be_v evil_a &_o that_o no_o disguise_n of_o good_a can_v cheat_v a_o separate_a soul_n i_o must_v confess_v both_o these_o proposition_n to_o be_v true_a and_o therefore_o i_o be_o force_v to_o say_v that_o in_o purgatory_n their_o love_n be_v not_o about_o evil_a object_n but_o true_o good_a and_o conformable_a to_o nature_n and_o their_o fault_n consist_v only_o in_o excess_n of_o love_n which_o make_v they_o apt_a to_o follow_v their_o object_n where_o and_o when_o they_o shall_v not_o 9_o his_o three_o objection_n be_v how_o we_o know_v the_o soul_n will_v embrace_v this_o wilfulness_n since_o it_o be_v voluntary_a and_o therefore_o in_o her_o liberty_n not_o to_o accept_v of_o it_o or_o choose_v it_o this_o objection_n have_v two_o fault_n the_o one_o that_o it_o do_v not_o

free_a the_o like_a they_o teach_v of_o the_o accept_n of_o a_o medium_n when_o there_o be_v but_o one_o to_o gain_v the_o fore-embraced_n end_n the_o other_o be_v that_o he_o think_v that_o this_o wilfulness_n begin_v at_o death_n whereas_o it_o do_v but_o continue_v and_o begin_v in_o the_o body_n as_o the_o very_a word_n of_o remain_v and_o be_v conserve_v do_v signify_v 10._o his_o last_o objection_n be_v that_o there_o be_v in_o purgatory_n a_o efficacious_a repentance_n and_o therefore_o no_o will_n to_o do_v the_o like_a again_o i_o answer_v this_o word_n repentance_n do_v stick_v in_o my_o stomach_n for_o if_o it_o mean_v only_o a_o act_n of_o a_o contrary_a affection_n i_o easy_o accord_v it_o to_o he_o for_o in_o this_o consist_v the_o torment_n of_o a_o soul_n that_o be_v vicious_a either_o in_o this_o world_n or_o in_o the_o next_o that_o she_o have_v contrary_a affection_n in_o herself_o one_o fight_v against_o the_o other_o for_o the_o general_a inclination_n to_o her_o last_o good_a can_v never_o be_v root_v out_o and_o no_o vice_n can_v be_v but_o contrary_a to_o this_o inclination_n but_o if_o repentance_n be_v take_v for_o the_o revoke_v cancel_v or_o blot_v out_o of_o the_o unlawful_a desire_n i_o doubt_v it_o will_v prove_v a_o heresy_n to_o put_v that_o and_o that_o the_o soul_n shall_v remain_v in_o purgatory_n for_o than_o she_o will_v have_v

there_o be_v no_o place_n for_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

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

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

that_o the_o mass_n be_v the_o great_a help_n for_o soul_n inpurgatory_n we_o ought_v to_o understand_v how_o the_o mass_n be_v the_o great_a act_n of_o charity_n which_o to_o do_v we_o must_v remember_v the_o mass_n to_o have_v these_o two_o relation_n the_o one_o that_o it_o be_v the_o christian_a sacrifice_n the_o other_o that_o it_o be_v the_o commemoration_n of_o the_o passion_n of_o
