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.

For the Lamb, which is in the midst of the throne, shall govern them, and shall lead them (not into Purgatory, but) unto the lively Fountains of Waters: and God shall wipe a way all tears from their eyes. These, or such other like Places, I trow, they be, whereby ye assure your self so certainly of your Purgatory.
