SECT. II.
The second charge, concerning his cytation of Hilarie.
3.
* 1.1 BEllarmine cyted(15) 1.2 Hilary in Psal, 118. vppon these wordes [Concupiuit anima, &c.] We (saith Hilary) must vndergo that indefatigable fire, in the which we must passe thorough the grieuous punishments of purging of soules, This he Reckoned among his most plaine places, for proofe of Purgatory-fire: and notwithstanding else-where alleaging the same text, saith of the Comment of Hilary, that16 1.3 Hilary doth therein insinuate, that the blessed Vir∣gine ought to haue passed thorow the same fire, adding a little after, that17 1.4 He (that is Hilary) therein by Purgatory, vn∣derstood not the fire of Purgatory.
Mr. PARSONS his Reckoning.
WHereunto is answered, that both are conteyned in that * 1.5 Discourse of Hilary, both the proouing fire of Gods iudge∣ments after death, and the purging fire of Gods iustice.
The Reuiew.
4. You should haue answered for the same place of Hila∣ry which was obiected: otherwise if you shal labor to prooue that Bellarmine meant, that both these fires were vnderstood in that one place, where he himselfe confesseth that the fire of Purgatory is not vnderstood, this would be as haplesse a worke, as if you had sought by contradicting Bellarmine, to free Bellarmine from contradiction.
