You say, If they be Papists, that Defend Purgatory, then must Christs Apostles needs be Papists. For they have taught us Purgatory, (not by any word that ever they wrote, but) by Tradition. This is as true, as that S. Peter said Mass in Rome with a Golden Cope, and a Triple Crown. Onlesse perhaps some man will think,1 where as S. Paul saith, Homines Privati Veritate, existimantes quaestum esse pietatem: They be men void of Truth, thinking that their gain is Godliness: 2Or, where as S. Peter saith, Per avaritiam fictis sermonibus nego•iabuntur de vobis: Through covetousnesse by feigned talk they shall make sale of you, that by these words they gave us Warning of the very Form▪ and Doctrine of your Purgatory. For better Authorities, then these be, I reckon, ye can lightly find none.
