tradition_n and_o opinion_n touch_v the_o will_n of_o god_n neither_o retain_v they_o the_o word_n and_o ordinance_n wherewith_o god_n have_v manifest_v his_o will_n towards_o us._n themselves_o be_v blind_a too_o seek_v after_o god_n by_o other_o mean_n dead_a for_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o christ_n himself_o never_o deliver_v the_o sacrament_n to_o have_v it_o apply_v for_o the_o dead_a for_o what_o mention_n be_v there_o make_v of_o the_o dead_a 〈…〉_o he_o bid_v we_o celebrate_v his_o supper_n 〈…〉_o that_o we_o may_v have_v in_o remembrance_n his_o death_n &_o benefit_n be_v the_o dead_a they_o present_a with_o we_o too_o remember_v these_o with_o we_o but_o i_o will_v brief_o add_v unto_o these_o other_o reason_n also_o the_o second_o reason_n this_o sentence_n to_o ●rue_v &_o assure_v which_o by_o no_o mean_n may_v be_v 〈◊〉_d or_o deny_v the_o just_a man_n live_v by_o his_o faith_n abac._n 2._o us._n wherefore_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o in_o our_o life_n time_n we_o do_v receive_v forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n at_o god_n hand_n and_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n shall_v be_v grant_v too_o any_o person_n by_o or_o for_o any_o kind_n of_o work_n do_v or_o sacrifice_v offer_v by_o any_o priest_n cause_n obscure_a and_o doubtful_a require_v long_a disputation_n this_o error_n touch_v oblation_n be_v refuce_v by_o so_o evident_a and_o firm_a argument_n that_o they_o require_v not_o at_o all_o any_o long_a declaration_n the_o doctrine_n touch_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n be_v certain_a and_o manifest_a no_o man_n may_v have_v remisiion_n of_o sin_n except_o by_o his_o own_o faith_n he_o receive_v the_o same_o this_o opinion_n if_o any_o man_n go_v about_o too_o take_v away_o he_o do_v then_o blaspheme_v and_o injury_n christ_n himself_o 〈◊〉_d ergo_fw-la they_o blaspheme_v and_o injury_n christ_n which_o do_v feign_v that_o the_o same_o oblation_n can_v deserve_v remission_n of_o sin_n for_o the_o dead_a the_o third_o reason_n aply_v the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n only_o proffit_v they_o which_o use_v the_o same_o do_v remember_v the_o death_n and_o benefit_n of_o christ_n ergo_fw-la it_o be_v

the_o antecedent_n be_v manifest_a by_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n because_o he_o bid_v we_o celebrate_v this_o mystery_n in_o remembrance_n of_o he_o and_o we_o ought_v not_o by_o imagine_v too_o add_v any_o thing_n unto_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n if_o any_o man_n imagine_v more_o thing_n if_o any_o man_n transfer_v the_o same_o unto_o the_o dead_a he_o do_v wicked_o defile_v the_o institution_n of_o christ_n the_o four_o reason_n the_o scripture_n say_v manifest_o bless_a be_v the_o dead_a which_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n rom._n 8._o the_o body_n die_v because_o of_o sin_n life_n but_o the_o spirit_n be_v life_n for_o righteousness_n sake●_n that_o be_v they_o that_o be_v justify_v in_o the_o spirit_n so_o long_o as_o they_o carry_v about_o they_o this_o body_n where_o in_o be_v as_o yet_o the_o remnaunte_n of_o sin_n they_o be_v afflict_v in_o diverse_a manner_n too_o the_o end_n that_o by_o call_v upon_o god_n faith_n knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o spiritual_a newness_n of_o life_n may_v more_o and_o more_o increase_n in_o they_o but_o the_o body_n be_v once_o dead_a the_o remnaunte_n of_o sin_n be_v abolish_v and_o paul_n say_v manifest_o that_o the_o spirit_n live_v for_o righteousness_n sake_n that_o life_n of_o the_o spirit_n justify_v be_v not_o fear_n or_o feel_v of_o god_n wrath_n but_o be_v joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o paul_n say_v rom._n 15._o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o pain_n of_o purgatory_n christ_n say_v unto_o the_o convert_a thief_n this_o day_n thou_o shall_v be_v with_o i_o in_o paradyse_n that_o be_v in_o a_o peaceable_a and_o bless_a life_n and_o not_o in_o pain_n or_o horror_n therefore_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o just_a do_v not_o go_v down_o too_o torment_n but_o ascend_v up_o unto_o spiritual_a joy_n and_o peace_n in_o this_o life_n the_o godly_a be_v still_o exercise_v with_o horrible_a affliction_n because_o god_n by_o a_o wonder_a determination_n will_v have_v his_o church_n subject_a untoo_o the_o cross_n and_o too_o taste_v such_o affliction_n as_o christ_n himself_o do_v so_o adam_n isaac_n jacob_n joseph_n david_n esayas_n hieremias_n john_n baptist_n and_o other_o the_o light_n of_o the_o church_n be_v in_o calamity_n and_o perplexity_n life_n the_o greatness_n whereof_o no_o man_n can_v declare_v therefore_o peter_n say_v humble_v yourselves_o under_o the_o mighty_a hand_n of_o god_n 1._o pet._n 5._o for_o although_o such_o be_v the_o affliction_n which_o the_o godly_a suffer_v in_o this_o life_n while_o they_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o after_o they_o be_v once_o dead_a why_o be_v it_o say_v that_o there_o be_v such_o punishment_n for_o as_o much_o as_o these_o affliction_n be_v by_o god_n preordain_v too_o acknowledge_v the_o remnaunte_a of_o sin_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o to_o work_v repentance_n of_o sin_n even_o in_o this_o life_n but_o after_o death_n there_o be_v then_o no_o place_n of_o repentance_n like_a as_o paul_n playnelie_o affirm_v 2._o cor_fw-la 5._o every_o one_o shall_v carry_v with_o he_o those_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v do_v in_o the_o body_n and_o the_o psalm_n do_v also_o teach_v we_o this_o moreover_o the_o dead_a shall_v not_o praise_v thou_o lord_n again_o because_o there_o be_v none_o be_v death_n which_o shall_v remember_v thou_o 112._o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v affirm_v purgatory_n that_o any_o after_o death_n be_v yet_o torment_v to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v repent_v they_o of_o their_o sin_n if_o our_o adversary_n do_v say_v that_o those_o torment_n be_v not_o therefore_o lay_v upon_o they_o that_o thereby_o repentance_n may_v grow_v but_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v as_o satisfaction_n for_o sin_n here_o commit_v this_o opinion_n be_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o too_o be_v refuse_v for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o satisfaction_n which_o the_o sentenciaries_n have_v devise_v be_v both_o false_a and_o ungodly_a satisfaction_n and_o true_o very_o many_o lie_v &_o false_a imagination_n have_v be_v heap_v together_o into_o those_o disputation_n even_o as_o it_o be_v into_o a_o sinkehole_n and_o filthy_a puddle_n namely_o of_o purgatory_n of_o vow_n of_o oblation_n for_o the_o dead_a &_o many_o other_o see_v therefore_o that_o purgatory_n as_o they_o call_v it_o can_v be_v affirm_v it_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o ungodliness_n so_o to_o institute_v a_o oblation_n to_o deliver_v y_z e_o dead_a out_o of_o torment_n although_o yet_o if_o there_o be_v any_o purgatory_n yet_o can_v not_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v transfer_v for_o the_o dead_a but_o why_o do_v i_o here_o dispute_v the_o first_o mention_n of_o purgatory_n begin_v of_o sight_n or_o vision_n original_n and_o afterwards_o for_o lucre_n sake_n be_v confirm_v and_o be_v now_o defend_v and_o maintain_v of_o the_o pope_n cardinal_n byshoppe_n and_o canon_n which_o be_v manifest_a epicure_n and_o with_o great_a security_n do_v contemn_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n and_o whatsoever_o touch_v punishment_n after_o death_n such_o person_n read_v they_o accept_v they_o as_o poet_n fable_n of_o ixion_n sisyphus_n tantalus_n or_o such_o like_a and_o do_v deride_v the_o foolishness_n of_o other_o which_o affirm_v that_o god_n have_v appoint_v everlasting_a punishment_n for_o the_o wicked_a at_o this_o present_a life_n therefore_o i_o let_v pass_v any_o further_a to_o dispute_v the_o grecian_n exhibit_v up_o a_o oration_n touch_v purgatory_n at_o the_o council_n of_o basil_n w_o c_o oration_n at_o this_o day_n be_v extant_a in_o the_o library_n of_o phortia_n wherein_o they_o dispute_v touch_v that_o place_n of_o s._n paul_n 1_o cor._n 3._o which_o place_n the_o latter_a age_n have_v wrest_v to_o confirm_v purgatory_n whereas_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o same_o place_n intrete_v upon_o repentance_n namely_o he_o shall_v be_v save_v so_o yet_o as_o it_o be_v by_o fire_n 1._o cor._n 3._o ergo_fw-la he_o will_v that_o the_o offender_n shall_v be_v correct_v or_o amend_v by_o repentance_n wherefore_o he_o speak_v touch_v this_o present_a life_n wherein_o be_v the_o place_n of_o repentance_n sure_o it_o be_v true_a that_o be_v say_v the_o speech_n of_o truth_n be_v simple_a and_o plain_a when_o paul_n speak_v of_o repentance_n euripides_n this_o place_n can_v be_v wrest_v to_o the_o pain_n or_o torment_n after_o death_n touch_v that_o place_n in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o maccabee_n there_o be_v also_o a_o most_o plain_a answer_n the_o truth_n be_v not_o the_o more_o corrupt_v by_o the_o error_n of_o thing_n do_v
