The answer.
And what néede Fathers for this? Is it not ynough that your
holy father of Rome taketh it so? The fathers might erre, he can
not erre. If this prison be purgatorie, then no man can passe out
of it without paying the last farthing. And if that be so, the sale
of pardons, and such pelte is marred. For howe can pardon take
place where payment is so peremptorily required? But Cyprian
taketh it for purgatorie, I haue looked into the place by you quo∣ted,
and find it not so: onely he toucheth there this present place,
but neither his wordes, nor the circumstances of the place afore,
nor after doe enforce any meaning of your purgatorie that I can
sée. Therefore it argueth either great negligence in you, in not
searching, or great penurie of fathers so applying this place: if
you searching could find none more plaine for your turne than
this. Augustine expoundeth this place of hell plainly and flatly.
As for your purgatorie, Plato the Ethnicke philosopher of great
fame, was the first founder thereof that I haue read of.
