§. 21. Of the errors which Papists gather from this phrase, nor in the World to come.
Again, Papists rove far beyond the scope of Christ in this place, by inferring from this clause (nor in the World to come) that some sins which are not forgiven in this World,1 may be forgiven in the World to come: whence they further infer, that there is a Purgatory after this life; and render these reasons of this latter inference: First, that into Heaven can enter no unclean thing. Secondly, that out of hell there can be no redemption: therefore (say they) there must needs be a Purgatory, by which they which die in their sins must be purged, and out of which they whose sins are forgiven after this life, must be delivered.
AGaine, Papists roue farre beyond the scope of Christ in this place, by inferring from this clause (nor in the World to come) that some sinnes which are not forgiuen in this World,1 may be forgiuen in the World to come: whence they further inferre, that there is a Purgatory after this life; and render these reasons of this latter inference: First, that into Heauen can enter no vncleane thing. Secondly, that out of hel there can be no redemption: therefore (say they) there must needs be a Purgatory, by which they which die in their sinnes must be purged, and out of which they whose sinnes are forgiuen after this life, must be deliuered.
