some_o of_o the_o discourser_n companion_n shall_v tell_v he_o that_o he_o have_v a_o lawsuit_n in_o hand_n and_o that_o he_o be_v certain_a never_o to_o win_v it_o neither_o at_o the_o kings-bench_n nor_o court_n of_o chancery_n i_o be_o persuade_v the_o discourser_n or_o any_o man_n of_o sense_n will_v infer_v from_o this_o person_n be_v talk_n that_o lawsuit_n be_v plead_v both_o at_o the_o kings-bench_n and_o in_o chancery_n and_o why_o will_v he_o not_o infer_v from_o these_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n some_o sin_n shall_v never_o be_v pardon_v neither_o in_o this_o world_n nor_o in_o that_o to_o come_v that_o there_o be_v some_o sin_n both_o pardonable_a in_o this_o world_n and_o in_o that_o to_o come_v and_o if_o there_o be_v some_o sin_n there_o to_o be_v forgive_v i_o suppose_v he_o will_v allow_v of_o some_o pain_n there_o to_o be_v suffer_v for_o all_o sin_n deserve_v some_o punishment_n and_o it_o be_v upon_o this_o account_n the_o roman_a church_n pray_v for_o the_o

why_o also_o be_v we_o in_o danger_n every_o hour_n i_o expect_v here_o the_o discourser_n will_v exclaim_v against_o the_o hardness_n of_o this_o passage_n i_o be_o somewhat_o of_o his_o opinion_n it_o be_v so_o difficult_a that_o if_o i_o be_v a_o reformer_n i_o can_v make_v no_o sense_n of_o it_o lumina_fw-la mark_v 10._o orat._n in_o s._n lumina_fw-la this_o word_n baptism_n as_o hard_o as_o

whatever_o affliction_n the_o discourser_n shall_v please_v to_o assign_v penance_n or_o prayer_n it_o will_v still_o literal_o be_v true_a that_o it_o be_v perform_v to_o benefit_v the_o dead_a for_o if_o the_o dead_a be_v not_o hereby_o help_v why_o do_v s._n paul_n urge_v again_o so_o earnest_o why_o also_o to_o what_o end_n be_v they_o baptize_v or_o afflict_v for_o they_o if_o this_o devotion_n profit_v not_o the_o dead_a may_v not_o we_o answer_v the_o apostle_n and_o say_v to_o no_o end_n at_o all_o and_o so_o void_a and_o silence_v his_o press_a forwardness_n far_o be_v it_o from_o i_o divine_a apostle_n to_o contend_v against_o thy_o testimony_n s._n john_n the_o belove_a disciple_n of_o christ_n speak_v of_o two_o state_n of_o sinner_n after_o death_n he_o speak_v of_o

other_o sort_n of_o sinner_n who_o we_o know_v by_o outward_a sign_n of_o repentance_n die_v not_o in_o deadly_a sin_n for_o these_o he_o do_v encourage_v we_o if_o he_o do_v not_o command_v we_o with_o confidence_n to_o pray_v and_o this_o be_v say_v the_o scripture_n 14._o ep._n catho_n 1._o chap._n 5._o v._n 14._o the_o confidence_n which_o we_o have_v towards_o he_o that_o whatsoever_o

sin_v not_o to_o death_n here_o be_v encouragement_n for_o we_o to_o pray_v for_o those_o who_o die_v with_o repentance_n and_o two_o strong_a motive_n excite_v we_o hereunto_o first_o we_o be_v encourage_v thus_o to_o pray_v because_o we_o ask_v what_o be_v according_a to_o god_n will_n and_o second_o god_n will_v hear_v we_o pardon_v the_o delinquent_n and_o give_v he_o life_n everlasting_a the_o text_n continue_v there_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o death_n for_o that_o i_o say_v not_o that_o any_o man_n ask_v here_o be_v a_o inhibition_n to_o pray_v for_o any_o of_o who_o we_o have_v no_o sign_n no_o hope_n of_o repentance_n at_o their_o death_n i_o do_v not_o expect_v here_o that_o the_o discourser_n will_v deny_v s._n john_n speak_v of_o pray_v for_o the_o dead_a the_o text_n be_v too_o plain_a against_o he_o and_o what_o be_v convince_a neither_o the_o church_n nor_o any_o man_n be_v dissuade_v here_o from_o pray_v for_o any_o sinner_n yet_o live_v nor_o for_o the_o remission_n of_o any_o sin_n in_o this_o life_n i_o know_v the_o montanist_a heretic_n hold_v some_o sin_n not_o pardonable_a but_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n before_o the_o death_n of_o any_o sinner_n pray_v and_o be_v often_o hear_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o heretic_n jew_n turk_n apostate_n or_o what_o other_o infidel_n or_o ill-liver_n soever_o in_o the_o world_n so_o long_o as_o life_n

he_o speak_v of_o pray_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o depart_v of_o these_o some_o die_n without_o repentance_n these_o we_o be_v not_o to_o pray_v for_o other_o due_o repent_v for_o these_o we_o be_v

pious_a reader_n ought_v upon_o this_o sole_a account_n to_o scruple_n at_o it_o the_o sense_n of_o it_o be_v deliver_v in_o holy_a writ_n do_v we_o read_v any_o where_o in_o the_o bible_n of_o the_o

in_o scripture_n we_o all_o of_o we_o profess_v in_o the_o creed_n i_o believe_v one_o catholic_n church_n by_o the_o word_n purgatory_n we_o not_o improper_o signify_v a_o middle_a state_n after_o

father_n and_o scripture_n demonstrate_v for_o if_o both_o these_o teach_v we_o to_o pray_v as_o i_o have_v show_v that_o god_n will_v be_v please_v to_o deal_v with_o some_o soul_n depart_v more_o mild_o than_o their_o sin_n deserve_v to_o forgive_v they_o and_o to_o seat_v they_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n who_o can_v just_o refuse_v the_o be_v of_o purgatory_n this_o be_v all_o we_o mean_v by_o it_o this_o be_v our_o belief_n and_o of_o this_o i_o will_v add_v one_o more_o proof_n very_o plain_a and_o easy_a there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o sin_n mortal_a and_o venial_a i_o call_v a_o mortal_a sin_n that_o crime_n which_o break_v charity_n between_o god_n and_o the_o delinquent_n and_o for_o which_o he_o be_v to_o suffer_v eternal_a pain_n i_o mean_v by_o venial_a sin_n that_o fault_n which_o lessen_v friendship_n between_o god_n and_o the_o just_a for_o which_o he_o must_v undergo_v some_o penalty_n because_o he_o have_v transgress_v yet_o not_o that_o of_o eternal_a damnation_n i_o know_v that_o god_n may_v have_v punish_v all_o sin_n and_o this_o too_o with_o justice_n eternal_o but_o the_o divine_a goodness_n consider_v the_o weakness_n of_o human_a frailty_n which_o fail_v almost_o at_o every_o step_n it_o make_v will_v all_o offence_n shall_v not_o be_v mortal_a or_o liable_a to_o everlasting_a torment_n this_o he_o have_v reveal_v to_o we_o in_o s._n matthew_n where_o we_o read_v 5.23_o math._n 5.23_o whosoever_o be_v angry_a with_o his_o brother_n shall_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o judgement_n whosoever_o shall_v say_v to_o his_o brother_n raca_n shall_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o council_n whosoever_o shall_v say_v to_o his_o brother_n thou_o fool_n shall_v be_v guilty_a of_o hell_n fire_n be_v not_o here_o a_o uncontrolled_a difference_n of_o two_o sort_n of_o sin_n some_o be_v guilty_a of_o hell_n fire_n these_o i_o call_v mortal_a other_o be_v not_o guilty_a of_o hell_n fire_n but_o in_o danger_n of_o judgement_n these_o i_o name_v venial_a fault_n and_o they_o be_v these_o quotidian_a slip_n which_o the_o prophet_n attribute_n to_o the_o just_a who_o fail_v seven_o time_n a_o day_n if_o he_o be_v just_a he_o be_v god_n
