Theophilus. What wilt thou that I should answer thee upon the same. There is none that will deny, but that he must be purged from all his sins, before he can come unto the eternal life. For flesh and blood cannot 1inherit the kingdom of God. But the purgation is not done by the fire of Purgatory, but by the blood of Jesus Christ, by the which we are washed & purified, when through 2the word of god & through faith our hearts are sprinkled. Therefore said Jesus Christ unto his disciples: you are clean because of the words which you have heard. We are purged, when we obtain remission of our sins, and that the Lord forgetteth them, not imputing them unto us and remembering them, according to that which is written. Blessed are those whose iniquities are forgiven 3& whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth no sin.
