Purgatory, though nevvly hatched, not yet fledged.

For, although there are frequent Visions and Revelations in this Age pretended, thereon to build Purgatory (which had no Foundation in Scripture) yet the Architects of that fancy-full Fabrick had not so hand∣somely contrived it, as it stands at this day in the Romish Belief. Fora 1.1 Bede, out of the Vision of Furseus, relateth certain great Fires above the Aire, appointed to examine every one according to the merits of his VVork, dif∣fering from the Papists Purgatory; which Bellarmine, by the common Consent of the School-men, determineth to be within the Bowels of the Earth. Thus nothing can be invented, and perfected at once.
