Thomas. I greatly fear Eusebius, that in disputing after this manner, the Limb and the Purgatory which thou upholdest and maintainest, will be altogether destroyed and overthrown. For as far as I can judge, the same of the young children is altogether thrown down to the ground, if thou do not help it. The Purgatory hath but a little more hold: There remaineth now but the Limb 1of the fathers, of which I do very much desire to know the resolution, and to understand whether it be all one with Paradise. For Theophilus hath already almost proved it to be so, speaking of the estate of those which were in Abraham's bosom.

The Purgatorye hath but a little more holde: There remayneth now but the Limbe 1of the fathers, of which I do very much desire to know the resolution, and to vnderstande whether it bée all one with Paradise. For Theophilus hath already almost proued it to bée so, speaking of the estate of those which were in Abrahams bosome.
