13. Of Prayer for the Dead, and Purgatory.

§. 99.

In the next place we will consider what you object against the Churches Doctrine touching Prayer for the Dead, which implyes a State in them alterable to the better by our Prayers, Alms, &c. for them: Which State is by the Church, called Purgatory. Now it seems to me a wonderful thing that you should quarrel with Gods Church, so as to think Communion with her unlawful, because she is charitable and compassionate to her fellow-members, as she believes, standing in great need of her assistance.
