Whereby the purenes of the same religion in the chiefe poyntes that are in variance, is euidently shewed, not onely by the holy scriptures, and by reason: but also by the Popes owne canons. Written to the king of Nauarre and translated out of french into English by Sir Iherom Bowes Knight.; Apologie ou défense pour les chretiens de France de la religion reformée.

the_o decree_n of_o pope_n gelasius_n 2._o we_o read_v that_o christ_n have_v raise_v the_o dead_a to_o life_n but_o we_o read_v not_o that_o ever_o he_o release_v any_o of_o those_o which_o be_v dead_a in_o sin_n and_o he_o who_o only_o have_v the_o power_n to_o do_v it_o have_v give_v this_o principal_a commandment_n to_o s._n peter_n say_v that_o which_o thou_o unbinde_v upon_o earth_n shall_v be_v unbound_v in_o heaven_n and_o that_o which_o thou_o bind_v upon_o earth_n shall_v be_v bind_v in_o heaven_n he_o say_v upon_o earth_n but_o he_o never_o say_v that_o he_o which_o be_v depart_v bind_v by_o sin_n shall_v be_v release_v which_o canon_n do_v well_o show_v that_o the_o power_n to_o unbind_v do_v not_o stretch_v so_o far_o as_o to_o hell_n nor_o so_o far_o as_o to_o the_o pretend_a purgatory_n but_o only_o to_o the_o earth_n and_o that_o the_o pope_n of_o late_a year_n have_v go_v about_o to_o extend_v the_o bound_n of_o their_o territory_n to_o far_o in_o command_v the_o angel_n as_o they_o do_v by_o their_o bull_n of_o pardon_n to_o go_v fetch_v the_o soul_n of_o such_o out_o of_o purgatory_n as_o the_o pope_n themselves_o list_v to_o name_n for_o they_o have_v no_o commandment_n that_o reach_v either_o high_a or_o low_a than_o the_o earth_n come_v it_o be_v true_a that_o for_o ground_n of_o this_o doctrine_n of_o purgatory_n they_o allege_v that_o the_o custom_n of_o pray_v for_o the_o dead_a have_v be_v allow_v and_o receive_v now_o of_o long_a time_n even_o from_o the_o time_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n but_o it_o do_v not_o thereby_o follow_v but_o that_o a_o error_n be_v a_o error_n although_o it_o be_v never_o so_o old_a missa_fw-la moreover_o as_o pope_n innocent_a the_o three_o do_v witness_v many_o of_o the_o ancient_a father_n have_v believe_v that_o the_o glory_n of_o those_o which_o be_v in_o paradise_n may_v still_o grow_v great_a until_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o so_o by_o consequence_n they_o do_v imagine_v that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o pray_v to_o god_n for_o the_o increase_n of_o their_o glorify_v 24._o s._n augustine_n also_o write_v how_o be_v it_o that_o he_o allow_v not_o the_o opinion_n that_o some_o ancient_a father_n have_v imagine_v that_o to_o pray_v for_o the_o damn_a sort_n may_v do_v they_o good_a not_o to_o exempt_v they_o from_o eternal_a pain_n but_o to_o moderate_v their_o torment_n and_o therefore_o although_o that_o this_o kind_n of_o pray_v for_o the_o dead_a be_v sufferable_a as_o in_o deed_n it_o be_v not_o see_v it_o have_v no_o foundation_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n yet_o can_v purgatory_n be_v ground_v thereupon_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o pray_n of_o the_o father_n of_o old_a time_n be_v either_o for_o those_o which_o be_v happy_a in_o paradise_n for_o that_o their_o glory_n and_o blessedness_n may_v increase_v or_o for_o those_o which_o be_v damn_v that_o their_o pain_n may_v be_v diminish_v and_o not_o for_o any_o which_o they_o believe_v to_o have_v be_v lodge_v in_o purgatory_n for_o in_o those_o day_n they_o know_v not_o yet_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o purgatory_n nor_o where_o purgatory_n stand_v for_o it_o be_v but_o a_o late_a invention_n of_o the_o new_a description_n of_o hell_n the_o famose_a doctor_n that_o ever_o speak_v of_o purgatory_n be_v s._n gregory_n 39_o who_o notwithstanding_o speak_v after_o such_o a_o fashion_n that_o he_o seem_v to_o make_v no_o great_a reckon_n of_o the_o matter_n for_o he_o say_v that_o none_o but_o venial_a sin_n may_v be_v purge_v by_o the_o fire_n of_o purgatory_n the_o deadly_a sin_n can_v sin_n so_o that_o by_o this_o reckon_n the_o pain_n &_o torment_n of_o this_o pretend_a purgatory_n have_v no_o more_o power_n to_o purge_v than_o have_v the_o simple_a holy_a water_n whereunto_o they_o do_v likewise_o attribute_v the_o virtue_n of_o cleanse_v and_o of_o wash_v away_o of_o man_n venial_a sin_n these_o be_v the_o very_a word_n of_o s._n gregory_n such_o as_o a_o man_n depart_v hence_o such_o be_v he_o present_v in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n but_o yet_o we_o must_v believe_v that_o before_o the_o judgement_n there_o be_v a_o fire_n of_o purgation_n for_o certain_a degree_n of_o sin_n because_o the_o truth_n say_v that_o if_o any_o man_n have_v blaspheme_v the_o holy_a ghost_n his_o sin_n shall_v not_o be_v forgive_v neither_o in_o this_o world_n nor_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v by_o which_o word_n it_o be_v give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o there_o be_v some_o sin_n which_o may_v be_v pardon_v in_o this_o world_n and_o some_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v for_o that_o which_o be_v deny_v in_o one_o sin_n be_v grant_v in_o a_o other_o by_o consequent_a interpretation_n but_o yet_o as_o i_o have_v say_v you_o must_v understand_v this_o to_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o jest_n sin_n as_o the_o speak_v many_o idle_a word_n to_o much_o laughter_n to_o great_a carefulness_n for_o a_o man_n own_o family_n which_o be_v a_o sin_n that_o

the_o interpretation_n which_o s._n gregory_n have_v make_v of_o it_o howbeit_o amiss_o as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o in_o the_o text_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n which_o say_v that_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o pardon_v in_o this_o world_n nor_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v the_o romish_a catholic_n or_o rather_o the_o schoolman_n and_o sophister_n have_v altogether_o build_v and_o found_v their_o purgatory_n and_o they_o be_v not_o content_v that_o only_o venial_a sin_n shall_v there_o be_v purge_v as_o s._n gregory_n will_v but_o they_o will_v needs_o have_v it_o to_o serve_v for_o the_o do_v away_o of_o deadly_a sin_n also_o either_o by_o remain_v there_o the_o full_a time_n of_o seven_o year_n for_o every_o deadly_a sin_n or_o else_o by_o redeem_v or_o shorten_v that_o long_a season_n by_o the_o celebrate_n and_o sound_v of_o mass_n and_o other_o suffrage_n which_o addition_n of_o the_o sophister_n have_v marvellous_o enrich_v the_o kitchen_n of_o the_o clergy_n &_o monk_n and_o bring_v great_a abundance_n of_o water_n to_o their_o mill_n which_o have_v never_o happen_v to_o they_o if_o purgatory_n have_v serve_v but_o only_o to_o purge_v venial_a sin_n according_a to_o the_o aforesaid_a opinion_n of_o s._n gregory_n for_o the_o good_a people_n of_o christendom_n have_v rather_o to_o have_v purge_v themselves_o from_o those_o sin_n with_o holy_a water_n which_o do_v no_o harm_n to_o those_o that_o sprinkle_v themselves_o therewith_o then_o by_o the_o fire_n of_o purgatory_n which_o be_v affirm_v to_o be_v extreme_o burn_v and_o scald_a hot_a or_o by_o the_o sound_n of_o mass_n and_o obit_n which_o be_v far_o dear_a than_o be_v the_o holy_a water_n so_o as_o purgatory_n have_v be_v bring_v to_o nothing_o as_o a_o waist_n and_o barren_a soil_n if_o man_n have_v hold_v themselves_o to_o the_o only_a say_n of_o s._n gregory_n thus_o may_v you_o see_v how_o the_o poor_a world_n have_v be_v abuse_v by_o the_o inventor_n and_o practisor_n of_o such_o holy_a deceit_n ¶_o of_o the_o exception_n of_o prescription_n the_o xiii_o chapter_n hitherto_o i_o think_v i_o have_v make_v it_o to_o appear_v plain_o enough_o that_o the_o romish_a catholic_n be_v not_o so_o well_o ground_n as_o they_o imagine_v in_o the_o point_n of_o religion_n which_o they_o will_v maintain_v against_o the_o protestant_n now_o therefore_o let_v they_o blame_v the_o reform_a religion_n asmuch_o as_o they_o list_v and_o report_v it_o to_o be_v new_a full_a of_o error_n and_o heresy_n and_o contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o final_o let_v they_o deface_v it_o as_o much_o as_o shall_v please_v they_o for_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o upshot_n their_o hasty_a headiness_n and_o their_o wilful_a fordeem_n through_o the_o corruptness_n of_o their_o affection_n shall_v never_o bring_v to_o pass_v but_o that_o truth_n shall_v always_o be_v truth_n and_o darkness_n be_v darkness_n do_v what_o they_o can_v to_o the_o uttermost_a yet_o will_v the_o truth_n continue_v always_o to_o strong_a for_o they_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o wise_a sort_n i_o know_v well_o that_o those_o which_o think_v themselves_o to_o have_v the_o best_a brain_n and_o to_o be_v of_o great_a insight_n in_o all_o matter_n be_v the_o person_n that_o utter_v their_o opinion_n so_o bold_o in_o this_o controversy_n of_o

to_o the_o truth_n ought_v to_o be_v abolish_v there_o be_v yet_o another_o canon_n which_o sing_v thus_o in_o vain_a do_v they_o allege_v custom_n which_o be_v overcome_v by_o reason_n as_o though_o

it_o be_v a_o true_a thing_n that_o reason_n and_o truth_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o custom_n but_o if_o custom_n be_v confirm_v by_o the_o truth_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v constant_o keep_v
