Theophilus. That same is most true. Wherefore you 1may judge Eusebius, what people those are, whom you have in such estimation, & accountest for the holy Church. They do sing in their Vigils, in the name of the souls: Have mercy upon me, have mercy upon me, you at the least that are my friends. And in their Mass and in their Lugentibus in Purgatorio: They do cry unto the Virgin Mary that she have pity & compassion of these poor souls which do lament themselves in Purgatory, and which are roasted with a very great fire and torments without remedy. Wherefore do not they themselves have compassion on them and give them help.
