the_o most_o bless_a trinity_n because_o this_o name_n can_v be_v find_v in_o all_o the_o scripture_n old_a or_o new_a such_o man_n be_v to_o be_v teach_v that_o any_o thing_n be_v sufficient_o prove_v out_o of_o scripture_n if_o the_o scripture_n can_v be_v show_v to_o contain_v such_o principle_n as_o can_v be_v true_a unless_o it_o be_v true_a also_o that_o there_o be_v a_o purgatory_n 2._o i_o say_v then_o the_o scripture_n hold_v forth_o unto_o ut_fw-la three_o several_a principle_n all_o which_o three_o must_v be_v false_a unless_o we_o grant_v a_o purgatory_n for_o first_o if_o any_o scripture_n teach_v that_o although_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v we_o whensoever_o we_o true_o repent_v but_o yet_o that_o they_o be_v only_o forgive_v so_o that_o all_o the_o pain_n due_a to_o they_o be_v not_o always_o forgive_v they_o together_o with_o these_o sin_n then_o that_o very_a scripture_n teach_v we_o also_o that_o there_o be_v a_o purgatory_n because_o it_o may_v often_o happen_v that_o he_o to_o who_o all_o sin_n be_v forgive_v do_v depart_v this_o life_n before_o that_o all_o the_o pain_n due_a to_o those_o his_o sin_n be_v remit_v these_o pain_n be_v due_a by_o divine_a justice_n and_o not_o be_v cancel_v by_o any_o satisfaction_n make_v for_o they_o in_o this_o world_n it_o evident_o follow_v that_o divine_a justice_n must_v exact_v the_o payment_n of_o they_o in_o the_o next_o world_n but_o not_o in_o hell_n because_o no_o man_n be_v condemn_v to_o hell_n who_o do_v true_o repent_v for_o his_o sin_n therefore_o some_o other_o place_n or_o state_n must_v needs_o be_v grant_v in_o which_o such_o a_o soul_n be_v to_o pay_v those_o temporal_a punishment_n which_o be_v yet_o due_a to_o she_o by_o divine_a justice_n this_o place_n or_o state_n be_v that_o which_o we_o call_v purgatory_n 3._o second_o if_o any_o scripture_n teach_v we_o that_o we_o may_v live_v and_o die_v with_o such_o sin_n as_o be_v not_o damnable_a but_o only_o deserve_v temporal_a punishment_n and_o not_o eternal_a that_o scripture_n also_o must_v needs_o teach_v we_o purgatory_n which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o place_n in_o which_o soul_n depart_v suffer_v only_o for_o a_o time_n and_o not_o for_o eternity_n 4._o three_o if_o any_o scripture_n teach_v we_o to_o pray_v for_o the_o dead_a that_o very_a scripture_n teach_v we_o a_o purgatory_n for_o prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a be_v unnescessary_a to_o those_o who_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o unprofitable_a to_o such_o as_o be_v in_o hell_n those_o dead_a then_o who_o can_v receive_v help_n and_o relief_n by_o our_o prayer_n must_v neither_o be_v in_o heaven_n nor_o in_o hell_n but_o in_o a_o three_o place_n which_o we_o call_v purgatory_n my_o work_n then_o be_v do_v if_o i_o can_v show_v that_o these_o three_o principle_n behold_v forth_o unto_o we_o in_o holy_a scripture_n yet_o fourthly_a we_o shall_v add_v several_a other_o text_n in_o proof_n of_o purgatory_n 5._o let_v we_o now_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o principle_n and_o let_v we_o show_v how_o the_o scripture_n teach_v we_o that_o full_a often_o after_o the_o sin_n itself_o be_v forgive_v there_o do_v remain_v some_o pain_n yet_o due_a even_o to_o that_o sin_n we_o be_v all_o bear_v in_o original_a sin_n this_o sin_n be_v quite_o forgive_v to_o many_o child_n whether_o it_o by_o the_o faith_n of_o their_o parent_n as_o in_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n or_o by_o circumcision_n as_o in_o the_o old_a law_n or_o by_o baptism_n as_o in_o the_o new_a and_o yet_o those_o very_a infant_n to_o who_o this_o sin_n be_v forgive_v do_v notwithstanding_o for_o the_o selfsame_o forgive_v sin_n suffer_v the_o punishment_n of_o death_n due_a unto_o they_o for_o no_o other_o cause_n but_o for_o that_o very_a original_a sin_n which_o be_v forgive_v they_o this_o be_v teach_v by_o s._n paul_n rom._n 5.12_o as_o by_o one_o man_n sin_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n and_o by_o sin_n death_n so_o unto_o all_o death_n do_v
