¶ They examined me but of two articles whyche are these.
First whither I thought / there were no purgatory to purge the soul after this present ly•fe.1 And I said / that I thought there was none. For man is made but of two parts / the body and the soul. And the body is purged by the cross of Christ / which he layeth upon •uery child that he receiveth: as affliction / worldly oppression / persecution / imprisonment & cet. and death finisheth sin. And the soul is purged by the word of god / which we receive through faith / unto the health and salvation both of body & soul.
