Thomas. They were very fools, do they think that that wine descendeth into Purgatory, for to give drink to the souls of the dead, or the bodies that were in the Sepulchres?
Thomas. They were very fooles, doe they thinke that that wine descendeth into Purgatory, for to giue drincke to the soules of the dead, or the bodyes that were in the Sepulchers?
Hillarius. We are as much fools if we do think that the holy water, wherewith we sprinkle the Sepulchres and Churchyards, doth descend into Purgatory for to quench and put out the fire. For when the priest maketh his Asperges in the Mass, and in casting the holy water upon the people, if he do see any that putteth not off his cap or bonnet for to receive that holy conjured and charmed water, he crieth out upon him and calleth him Lutherian and Heretic. Nevertheless if their holy water ⟨image 44⟩had such strength to penetrate and go through into Purgatory, it is marvel if it cannot aswell pierce and go through a cap or bonnet, without putting it of the head.

For when the priest maketh his Asperges in the Masse, and in casting the holy water vppon the people, if he doe sée any that putteth not off his cappe or bonet for to receiue that holy coniured and charmed water, he cryeth out vppon him and calleth him Lutherian and Hereticke. Neuerthelesse if their holy water ⟨image 44⟩had such strength to penetrate and goe thorow into Purgatory, it is meruayle if it cannot aswell pearce and goe thorow a cappe or bonet, without putting it of the head.
