Roffensis saith, 1Ego respondeo, non satis certo constare, à quo primùm Indulgentiae tradi coeperint. Apud Priscos vel nulla, vel certè quàm rarissima fiebat mentio de Purgatorio. Quàm diu autem nulla esset cura de Purgatorio, nemo quaesivit Indulgentias. Nam ex illo pendet omnis Indulgentiarum aestimatio. Si tollas Purgatoriū, quorsum Indulgentijs opus erit? Coeperunt Indulgentiae, postquàm ad Purgatorij Cruciatus aliquandiu trepidatum est. Thus I answer: It cannot well appear, from whom Pardons first began. Among the Old Doctors, and Fathers of the Church, there was either no talk at all, or very little talk of Purgatory. But as long as Purgatory was not cared for, there was no man that sought for Pardons. For the whole price of Pardons hangeth of Purgatory. Take away Purgatory, and what shall we need of Pardons? Pardons began, when folk were a little fraide with the pains of Purgatory.

Emonge the Olde Doctours, and Fathers of the Churche, there was either no talke at al, or very litle talke of Purgatorie. But as longe as Purgatorie was not cared for, there was no man that sought for Pardonnes. For the whole price of Pardonnes hangeth of Purgatorie. Take awaie Purgatorie, and what shal we neede of Pardonnes? Pardonnes beganne, when folke were alitle fraide with the paines of Purgatorie.
