The same Polidore Virgil. lib. 8. cap. 1. g. 456. shows that the beginning of Indulgences was not till Gregory appointed his stations, and made them a reward. And showing that thy were grounded on the Doctrine of Purgatory, he bringeth in Bishop Fisher of Rochester to witness, 1. That Indulgences are lately brought in. 2.1 And that even of Purgatory Apud priscos nulla vel quam rarissima fiebat mentio; sed & Grecis ad hunc usque diem non est creditum esse: quan diu enim nulla fuerat de purgatorio cura, nemo quesivit indulgentias, nam ex illo pe•det omnis indulgentiarum existimatio. Si tollas purgatorium, quorsum indulgentiarum opus erit? Caeperunt igitur Indulgentiae, post quam ad purgatorii cruciatus aliquandiu trepidatum est] i. e. [With the ancients there was no mention of Purgatory, or exceeding rare: And the Greeks believe not that it is to this day: And as long as there was no care about Purgatory, no man sought for indulgences; for all the estimation of indulgences dependeth upon that. 2If you take away Purgatory, what use is there of indulgences: indulgences therefore did then begin, when men had trembled a while at the pains of Purgatory] So far Bishop Fisher their Martyr.
