furnish_v we_o with_o for_o if_o they_o have_v style_v it_o a_o judgement_n not_o in_o order_n to_o a_o investigation_n or_o disquisition_n of_o thing_n doubtful_a for_o what_o can_v be_v obscure_a when_o god_n himself_o be_v judge_n but_o mere_o to_o signifiy_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o say_a judgement_n that_o be_v the_o respective_a destribution_n of_o reward_n and_o punishment_n to_o good_a and_o bad_a which_o then_o be_v make_v be_v it_o not_o evident_a that_o the_o ecclesiastical_a manner_n of_o speech_n that_o it_o may_v be_v conformable_a to_o the_o sacred_a and_o traditionary_a expression_n must_v speak_v as_o it_o be_v of_o a_o dubious_a sentence_n whilst_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o affection_n to_o or_o expectation_n of_o punishment_n or_o reward_n these_o speech_n than_o signify_v just_a the_o same_o as_o if_o the_o church_n shall_v plain_o say_v suffer_v they_o not_o to_o be_v cast_v into_o hell_n but_o grant_v they_o eternal_a happiness_n and_o so_o be_v that_o particle_n also_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o pass_v from_o death_n of_o life_n though_o there_o be_v also_o another_o way_n in_o which_o the_o soul_n in_o purgatory_n when_o they_o become_v partaker_n of_o the_o beatifical_a vision_n may_v not_o improper_o be_v say_v to_o pass_v from_o death_n to_o life_n for_o those_o soul_n have_v according_a to_o what_o have_v be_v explicate_v a_o impediment_n in_o themselves_o debar_v they_o from_o true_a life_n which_o be_v perfect_a beatitude_n clear_o if_o death_n be_v opposite_a to_o life_n they_o be_v true_o say_v to_o pass_v from_o death_n to_o life_n when_o they_o be_v free_v from_o their_o sin_n and_o that_o impediment_n i_o be_o not_o ignorant_a that_o divine_n take_v it_o from_o the_o lawyer_n suppose_v in_o these_o soul_n a_o certain_a right_n to_o beatitude_n by_o which_o they_o be_v render_v partaker_n of_o life_n but_o these_o expression_n abuse_v we_o when_o beside_o a_o allegory_n we_o expect_v propriety_n in_o they_o nor_o indeed_o do_v right_a to_o a_o thing_n make_v a_o man_n owner_n of_o it_o but_o right_o in_o the_o thing_n and_o in_o reality_n those_o holy_a soul_n have_v not_o right_o to_o life_n but_o seed_n of_o it_o to_o wit_v the_o faith_n of_o christ_n which_o work_v by_o charity_n and_o which_o assure_o will_n through_o the_o last_o judgement_n fructify_v to_o life_n eternal_a as_o than_o sâ—ea_n be_v not_o yet_o reckon_v among_o thing_n live_v but_o dead_a so_o these_o soul_n also_o but_o we_o must_v observe_v the_o word_n dead_a have_v a_o double_a sense_n be_v propound_v abstract_o and_o privative_o the_o damn_a be_v privative_o dead_a because_o all_o possibility_n or_o root_n of_o eternal_a life_n be_v extinguish_v in_o they_o but_o those_o in_o purgatory_n be_v only_o dead_a because_o they_o have_v not_o yet_o obtain_v life_n my_o second_o answer_n be_v that_o speech_n of_o this_o kind_n be_v altogether_o inexplicable_a according_a to_o the_o contrary_a
