Ye take good hold, in that we Confess, This Imagination of Purgatory is no New fancy. Howe be it, your advantage herein is not so great. There have been errors, and great errors from the beginning. S. Augustine saith, Origenes ipsum Diabolum, atque Angelos eius post graviora pro Meritis, & diuturniora supplicia, 1ex illis Cruciatibus eruendos, atque sociandos Sanctis Angelis credidit: The Ancient Learned Father Origen believed, that the Devil him self, and his Angels, after great, and long punishment suffered for their wickedness, shall be delivered from their torments, and shall be placed (in Heaven) with the Holy Angels of God. 2Origen him self saith, There were some, that thought, that Christ should go down into Hell, and there be Crucified again, to save them, that by his Preaching, and Former Death could not be saved.
