§. 101.
Notwithstanding even in your Scripture you find that, no unclean thing can enter into the Kingdom of God. Neither have you any the least ground to believe that Christians full of many unrepented imperfections are perfectly cleansed by Dying: Therefore unless after Death there be a place where they may be purified, you most cru∣elly thrust them, without hope of redemption, into Hell.
And this you do in contradiction to the greatest Cloud of Witnesses that, I think, ever gave testimony to any Divine Uerity. For be∣sides a world of passages sprinkled in the works of the Holy Fathers among whom some have written Books on purpose to enforce this Cha∣ritable Duty towards the Dead, there never was any Church since Christ besides yours, which in their Publick Liturgies did not employ their Devotions and Sacrifices for the comfort and assistance of their Dead Brethern: Yea even your English Liturgy is accused by Presbi∣terians and Fanatics of the same criminal Charity.
