Theophilus. It is very true, that that which you say hath served for some thing. For where Jesus Christ hath 1commanded his Disciples that their light should so shine before men, that they seeing their good works might be induced ⟨p. 56⟩to glorify God: Those here have so lighted and kindled the fire of their Purgatory, that every one beginneth to see the dark places wherein they have put us. But that were but a small thing, if God thereby had not sent from Heaven another fire, more vehement and burning, which 2hath burned and consumed it altogether.
