But if all these three places, Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory, had been certainly known, and Universally received in the Church, & yet besides these three places, the Pelagian Heretics would have devised, as you imagine, an other several Place, to receive the Souls of such Children, as departed out of this life without Baptism, then could not S. Augustine have truly said, Tertium locum ignoramus: We know no Third place: But rather he should have said,1 Quartum locum ignoramus, Fourth place we know none. For, by your judgement, the doubt had been, not of the Third place, but of the Fourth. And it had been a great oversight for S. Augustine, in the reckoning only of Four places, to have forgotten One: and specially such a One too, as hath been found more gainful of late years, then the other Three: But his words be plain: Heaven we know: and Hell we know: But any Third place besides Heaven, and Hell, we know none.
But if al these three places, Heauen, Hel, and Purgatorie, had benne certainely knowen, and Vniuersally receiued in the Churche, & yet bisides these three places, the Pelagian Heretiques would haue diuised, as you imagine, an other seueral Place, to receiue the Soules of sutche Children, as departed out of this life without Baptisme, then coulde not S. Augustine haue truely saide, Tertium locum ignoramus: VVee knovve no Thirde place: But rather he shoulde haue saide,1 Quartum locum ignoramus, Fourthe place wee knowe none. For, by your iudgemente, the doubte had benne, not of the Thirde place, but of the Fourthe. And it had benne a greate ouersight for S. Augustine, in the reckeninge onely of Foure places, to haue forgotten One: and specially sutche a One too, as hath benne founde more gaineful of late yéeres, then the other Three: But his woordes be plaine: Heauen vvee knovve: and Hel vvee knovve: But any Thirde place bisides Heauen, and Hel, vvee knovve none.
