Rainoldes. You do except also, I trow, (I am sure, ayour Doctors do) against bDamascene, for his tale of Gregory the Pope and Trajan the Emperor; that Gregory, while he went ⟨p. 494⟩over the market place of Trajan, did pray for Trajan's soul to God; and behold, a voice from heaven, I have heard thy prayer and I pardon Trajan: but see that thou pray no more to me for the wicked. A very great affection to prayers for the dead, that moved Damascene to write this. For it is against the doctrine of the cSchoolmen that prayers may help out the souls that are in hell. In Purgatory they say they may.
