That there is no Purgatory Fire, or other Prison, wherein sin may be satisfied for after this Life.
Ans. 1. Which way this Church came to be so much acquainted with Hell, and Purgatory, and Prisons, and satisfying in them, in the other World, more than is revealed in the Word of God, we know not, unless some have told them that come thence, or from Heaven. But for our parts, we think Gods Word more trusty ⟨p. 159⟩than Dead men whom we know not: God sendeth us to the Law, and to the Testimony: If they speak not according to these, it is because there is no Light in them, Isa. 8.20. Abraham preferred Moses and the Prophets before one from the Dead. The profane citation of Scripture by him for such a Purgatory-Prison, and Satisfaction, needs no answer save the perusal of the Texts.
