to_o think_v if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o there_o be_v a_o purgatory_n what_o need_n shall_v there_o be_v to_o say_v some_o time_n so_o great_a number_n of_o mass_n that_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o

that_o this_o which_o they_o do_v be_v to_o fulfil_v the_o prophecy_n of_o esay_n which_o say_v they_o eat_v the_o sin_n of_o my_o people_n &_o desire_v no_o other_o thing_n but_o the_o iniquity_n thereof_o i_o have_v note_v also_o a_o great_a blasphemy_n in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o affirm_v in_o a_o book_n call_v stella_n clearicorun_v that_o the_o least_o of_o the_o priest_n be_v great_a than_o the_o holy_a virgin_n or_o any_o angel_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n which_o they_o show_v by_o their_o effect_n say_v that_o they_o can_v pardon_v and_o remit_v sin_n in_o make_v unto_o they_o auricular_a confession_n show_v thereby_o that_o if_o they_o can_v they_o will_v pluck_v the_o pastoral_a rod_n out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n wherewith_o he_o rule_v &_o govern_v his_o folk_n it_o seem_v to_o i_o upon_o this_o discourse_n that_o i_o can_v better_o compare_v neither_o the_o pope_n nor_o the_o priest_n then_o to_o lie_v which_o have_v this_o property_n to_o whiten_v linen_n and_o as_o for_o itself_o it_o remain_v ugly_a &_o filthy_a for_o they_o boast_v that_o they_o cleanse_v other_o from_o their_o sin_n although_o they_o themselves_o be_v impure_a and_o i_o steadfast_o believe_v that_o if_o the_o pope_n ambition_n be_v accomplish_v to_o wit_n to_o have_v dominion_n over_o body_n over_o soul_n and_o over_o the_o temporal_a good_n there_o will_v rest_v nothing_o else_o to_o do_v but_o make_v a_o new_a religion_n after_o his_o fantasy_n you_o shall_v further_o know_v that_o if_o it_o so_o happen_v that_o the_o mule_n which_o carry_v he_o die_v it_o

have_v eat_v of_o so_o worthy_a a_o beast_n as_o to_o have_v bear_v god_n lieutenant_n upon_o earth_n i_o believe_v according_a as_o it_o be_v tell_v i_o that_o when_o i_o shall_v be_v in_o italy_n
