They pray also for the Dead: And therein, ye say, is implied your Faith of Purgatory. I will not here touch the simplicity of your Rhetoric, or Logic, M. Harding: But only wish you, to have better regard to your Divinity. For ought, that I can see, Prayer for the Dead, and your Fantasy of Purgatory, were never so straitly coupled together, but that they might well, and easily go a sunder. The Grecians, as they Pray for the Dead, so do they Pray for the Apostles, for the Patriarchs, for the Prophets, and for the Blessed Virgin our Lady: 1as you may soon perceive by S. Basiles, and by S. Chrysostoms Liturgy. Yet, I think, ye would not have your Reader believe, as an Article of your Faith, that the Apostles of Christ, the Patriarchs, the Prophets, and the Blessed Virgin Christs Mother are still in Purgatory. What so ever other opinion the Grecians have of the Dead, certain it is, they could never yet be brought to believe your Purgatory.
They praie also for the Dead: And therein, yee saie, is implied youre Faithe of Purgatorie. I wil not here touche the simplicitie of youre Rhetorique, or Logique, M. Hardinge: But onely wishe you, to haue better regarde to youre Diuinitie. For ought, that I can see, Praier for the Deade, and youre Fantasie of Purgatorie, were neuer so straitely coupled togeather, but that they might wel, and easily goe a sunder. The Grecians, as they Praie for the Deade, so doo they Praie for the Apostles, for the Patriarkes, for the Prophetes, and for the Blessed Virgine oure Ladie: 1as you maie soone perceiue by S. Basiles, and by S. Chrysostomes Liturgie. Yet, I thinke, yee woulde not haue youre Reader beleue, as an Article of youre Faithe, that the Apostles of Christe, the Patriarkes, the Prophetes, and the Blessed Virgin Christes Mother are stil in Purgatorie. What so euer other opinion the Grecians haue of the Deade, certaine it is, they coulde neuer yet be brought to beleue youre Purgatorie.
