l do it / when he is goone out this lyfe. But
against this / the holy scriptures do teach.

[[Rom. 4.]]

Blessed are they whose vnrighteousnesses are forgyen / and whos
synnes are couered. What blessednes / I praye you shuld this
be / if they which be reconciled vnto Godd / shuld be bownde to
sustayne such paynes and punishmentes. When a Synner doth repent
(saith Godd by the prophet)

[[Ezech. 18.]]

The synnes that he hath done / shall not be thought vppon. But
Godd will thincke vppon them / if it be true that either a man
must satisfice / or go to pugatorie / if Godd wil so sharply
punishe them by such paynes as they saye are in purgatorie. It
is writon in the reuelacion.

[[Apoc. 14.]]

Blessed are the deade which do dye in the lorde / euen so saieth
the spret / that they rest from their labours. They which do dye
in the lorde / that is the beleauers / how do they rest from
their labours / if it be so that they must yeat be vexed in
purgatorie? Christe our Sauiour when he did forgyue synnes
sayed.

[[Luc. 7.]]

Thy faithe hath made the safe: go thy wayes / synne no more.

[[Ioan. 5.]]
[[Luc. 23.]]

To the theif he saied. This daye thow shalt be with me in
paradise.

[[Phil. 1.]]

Paule desired to be loosed / and to be with Christ. How
chauncith it that there is no mencion made of purgatorie? In the
old lawe / ther wer sacrifices ordeigned / for princes /
prests / for the Nazarites / for the lepars / for gelousie / for
the synne of ignoraunce / and many such lyke. How happened it
that ther was no sacrifice appointed for the dead? The church
truly (as we also do graunte) hath keyes committed vnto it. And
theise are / the preachinge of the gospell /

[[Mar. 16.]]

that is the forgyuenes of synnes to them which do beleaue in
Christe / and the threateninge of condemnacion / through which
heauen is shutt againste the vnbeleauers. One key is the
promis / an other key is faith / by theise two keys heauen is
opened to the penitent. Theise keyes Christ did delyure when he
sayed: goo in to the whol world / and preach the gospell to euery
creature / he that beleaueth and is baptised / shalbe saued.
Those ministers do occupie these keyes which do preach the
gospell. But here is no mencion made of altering of Goddes
iudgements / nor of turninge of punishmentes. Christe our
sauiour / by that one sacrifice of his bodye / ones offered for
all euer / did worcke perfect saluacion / and made a pe
