as there also apereth Sonne. A Christen man is ordcnod then, 

 whether he wake or slepe, eatc or dryncke, continually to la- 

 boure for eternall thynges. Wherfore though they soffer never 

 so gret persecueion, or affliccion. Ye even deatlie, yet they 

 in dede are assuered they canuot deye. But hoAve maye Joau. v.j 

 tliat be? For the rightous maye dye, and or he dye faule into 

 incredulite. Fath. Douiles ' lyfe everlastynge consistetli in 

 the sprete, and mortifieacion of the flesshe. whervnto boddily 

 calamities, adversites, and death temporall healpe not a litell. 

 But yet will god neverl '^ [fol. 42^] soffre them so to erre in 

 thynges of wayght that therby they shulde hence departe in 

 daunger of dampnacion. For he is true and knoweth his, whome 

 he so clenseth here, by death temporall, that they ij- Ti. ij. 

 herafter wayte with outen spot (clothed in whyte vesteurs ■' for 

 hym that shall geve an answer for theym, and admit theym to 

 their eternall inheritaunce. So. Where is purgatory then? 

 Fa. Truly in the graunges, cellers, and porses of oure anoynted 

 and shorne Company, heaped vp and fullilled vnder a coloure 

 of this purgatory. Which thynge in no wyse canne stonde 

 with fayth. Wherfore he that beleveth that there is an ever- 

 lastynge life, admitteth no purgatory. For he whiche hence 

 departeth, withouten delaye entreth into lyfe, or eis Joan vj. 

 into death endles. So. Ye but oure Doctours, preachers, and 

 teachers, saye that purgatory is the waye to everlastynge lyfe. 

 Fa. Menne maye lye. Therfore geve thou credence to Hom. in. 

 hym that deceaveth no manne. Which sayeth. I am .'o. xüij. 

 the waye, the trueth, and lyfe. So. Yet must we fyrst make 

 satisfaccion for oure synncs or we canne come to hym. 

 Fa. Christ is for vs satisfaccion and redempcion sufti- j. <"". j. 

 cient. Whiche for the synnc of all the worlde, gave and 

 offered hym silfe, doin- [fol. 4o\] ge that all the worlde was 

 not able to do. for he only had power to open the Apoc. v. 

 boke claspes. So. They saye that Paul affermeth purgatory. 

 where as he sayeth, somc bilde on Christ, wodde, haye, stoble 

 etc. But every maus worcke shalbe made manifest in j. <:orr. üj. 

 the daye of the lorde. and that through fyre he shall soffre 

 losse. but he hym silfe shall be saved, even as through fyre.
