What a kingdom made he of purgatory? he shut out thence whom he listed: and released such as were there at his pleasure. He claimed power over the quick & dead: he sold the years, the days, and the months by round reckoning, a hundred, five hundred, and a thousand, and thousand thousands years of pardon. Of which folly his own Canonists were ashamed. One of them saith, Nā quod dicitur Petro, ¹tibi dab• claves, &c. Touching that Christ ⟨p. 338⟩said unto Peter, Unto thee will I wive the keys, &c. We must understand this authority with a corn of salt (other •ise it may be unsavoury). Therefore certain of the Popes pardons that promise twenty thousand years, are foolish and superstitious.
