Theophilus. 1That is yet nothing in comparison to that that I have said. They do kindle that fire more. For they do affirm, that the same of Purgatory, and that of hell is all one, and that there is none other difference, but that the same of hell is eternal touching his office, but the same of Purgatory, is not but as touching his substance, because that the souls go out some time. Wherefore they do conclude that not only the pain of Purgatory is the most grievous that ever was, but which is more. Thomas of Aquin hath written that that pain exceedeth and surmounteth the dolours & torments which Jesus Christ hath suffered in his death and passion. What blasphemy can ⟨p. 222⟩be more greater? For what hell can be more truell then that which Jesus Christ hath suffered for us, when he take upon him the curse due for our sins, for to deliver us?
