Thomas. Me thinks that this is repugnant unto that which Eusebius hath spoken before, and to that which the Priests do sing, saying: that in hell there is no ransom nor deliverance. And yet nevertheless, they pray here in that offertory, unto Jesus Christ, that he will deliver them from the pains of hell. It must then needs follow, that either their prayer is vain, and that they demand a thing of God which they do very well knew to be impossible and contrary unto his will, or that there is aswell deliverance in hell as in Purgatory, and that they speak against themselves, or else that hell & Purgatory be all one thing.
Thomas. Mee thinkes that this is repugnant vnto that which Eusebius hath spoken before, and to that which the Priests do sing, saying: that in hell there is no raunsome nor delyuerance. And yet nenerthelesse, they pray here in that o•fertory, vnto Iesus Christ, that he wil deliuer them from the paines of hell. It must then needes follow, that eyther their prayer is vaiue, and that they demaunde a thing of God which they do very well knew to be impossible and contrary vnto his will, or that there is aswel deliuerance in hell as in Purgatory, and that they speake against themselues, or els that hell & Purgatory be al one thing.
Eusebius. Thy disjunctive is not good. For not, withstanding ye commonly men take hell for the hell fire ⟨image 94⟩and the place of the damned, yet nevertheless it may be understanded more amply for yt low places and countries, & the estate & condition of the dead: after this manner, his signification shall comprehend & contain also the Purgatory, as it doth in this place here.
