such_o dross_n but_o till_o then_o remain_v in_o pain_n partly_o for_o their_o temporal_a loss_n by_o death_n but_o chief_o for_o their_o spiritual_a want_n be_v not_o able_a to_o attain_v bliss_n

in_o all_o this_o you_o talk_v not_o of_o burn_v or_o gnash_v of_o tooth_n or_o such_o corporeal_a pain_n which_o i_o have_v be_v teach_v be_v in_o hell_n and_o purgatory_n m._n these_o thing_n be_v

the_o just_a desire_n nothing_o but_o according_a to_o god_n will_n if_o so_o it_o seem_v your_o consequence_n because_o will_v not_o be_v very_o good_a but_o to_o make_v it_o so_o you_o must_v know_v natural_o a_o man_n desire_v every_o thing_n because_o it_o be_v good_a and_o good_a be_v as_o much_o as_o convenient_a to_o the_o desirer_n who_o be_v not_o only_o soul_n but_o body_n too_o wherefore_o if_o natural_a they_o desire_n can_v be_v frustrate_v or_o disappoint_v by_o god_n the_o author_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o desire_n of_o our_o life_n remain_v after_o death_n it_o

universal_o therefore_o to_o know_v that_o the_o true_a church_n be_v the_o only_a catholic_n in_o three_o respect_n first_o because_o it_o alone_o be_v at_o first_o plant_v by_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n which_o be_v clear_a since_o only_o one_o pretend_v her_o doctrine_n by_o succession_n c●untry_n from_o they_o which_o all_o plant_v by_o they_o must_v needs_o do_v second_o because_o it_o alone_o be_v find_v in_o the_o whole_a compass_n of_o the_o christian_a world_n all_o heretic_n be_v every_o kind_n in_o some_o country_n but_o none_o in_o all_o three_o because_o it_o alone_o c●●istendome_n command_v in_o that_o part_n of_o christianity_n where_o religion_n be_v in_o vigour_n and_o these_o three_o come_v out_o of_o its_o very_a nature_n for_o be_v the_o truth_n it_o alone_o can_v overcome_v so_o you_o have_v now_o two_o sign_n or_o mark_n of_o the_o true_a church_n the_o three_o be_v sanctity_n can_v you_o tell_v how_o the_o true_a church_n be_v only_o holy_a s._n sir_n i_o see_v there_o be_v more_o pray_v more_o work_n of_o charity_n devotion_n penance_n austereness_n and_o the_o like_a in_o the_o catholic_n church_n than_o among_o protestans_fw-la but_o what_o be_v among_o other_o i_o know_v not_o m._n it_o be_v well_o answer_v but_o to_o go_v more_o orderly_o you_o know_v sanctity_n be_v nothing_o but_o the_o practice_n or_o confirmation_n

pray_v to_o saint_n pray_v for_o the_o dead_a and_o the_o like_a second_o in_o law_n and_o custom_n which_o because_o they_o be_v according_a to_o faith_n must_v needs_o be_v different_a according_a to_o it_o three_o in_o life_n and_o execution_n of_o those_o rule_n wherein_o likewise_o the_o difference_n must_v hold_v with_o this_o caveat_n that_o there_o may_v be_v more_o and_o great_a wickedness_n among_o catholic_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o multitude_n of_o the_o professor_n of_o that_o religion_n nay_o of_o itself_o for_o who_o have_v not_o so_o good_a thing_n to_o offend_v against_o can_v be_v so_o wicked_a s._n how_o then_o can_v holiness_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o the_o true_a church_n if_o there_o be_v so_o much_o wickedness_n in_o the_o member_n of_o it_o m._n though_o there_o be_v much_o and_o perhaps_o more_o wickedness_n among_o catholic_n yet_o be_v there_o more_o sanctity_n holy_a also_o for_o among_o other_o there_o be_v hardly_o ever_o any_o man_n of_o extraordinary_a devotion_n hear_v of_o congregation_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n abstain_v from_o pleasure_n and_o separate_v themselves_o from_o the_o world_n none_o be_v find_v unless_o such_o as_o

beside_o some_o bare_a word_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o this_o follow_v of_o necessity_n from_o the_o nature_n of_o be_v the_o true_a church_n which_o by_o the_o soundness_n of_o its_o root_n
