We rail at you, M. Harding, even as Christ railed at certain others, in whose steppes ye seem to tread, for that they had made of the House of God a Cave of thieves.
Wée raite at you, M. Hardinge, euen as Christe railed at certaine others, in whoes steppes ye séeme to treade, for that they had made of the House of God a Caue of theeues.
The places of the Scriptures, which ye thought it best to pass over, and whereby your Purgatory by your judgement undoubtedly may be proved, if a man be not very contentious, 1I trow, be these: Verily, Verily, I say unto you, he that heareth my Word, and believeth in him, that sent me, hath Everlasting Life: and shall not come into damnation: but hath passed from Death unto Life. Or, that Isaiah the Prophet saith of Christ: 2He was wounded for our transgressions: He was broken for our iniquities: The chastisement of our Peace was upon him: and with his stripes we were made whole. Or, that S. Paul saith, Christ hath taken the Obligation, that was against us,3 and hath fastened it unto his Cross. Or, that S. John saith, Blessed be the Dead, that die in the Lord. Even so saith the Sprite. For they rest from their labours: and their Works follow them. He saith not, they be in Purgatory: but, they rest from their Labours.
