THE SVMME OF THE SIXT and last Dialogue.
IN this latter dialogue Eusebius putteth foorth the places of the holy scripture, the which they alleadge commonly for the defence and confirmation of purga∣tory: to the which Theophilus answereth, and expoun∣deth them after the true sence of the scripture: and con∣futeth the false interpretacions of the Sophisters: and de∣clareth many good pointes and places of the holy scrip∣ture. It shalbe also intreated of the power of the keyes: and howe the Pope and his would stretch them euen to the other worlde. It shalbe in like manner spoken, of the Popes power and deite: of ••ubile, and of the vertue of the bulle, pardons and indulgences. Afterwards shalbe touched the opinion of them which thinke that there shalbe preaching in the other worlde: And a manifesta∣tion of Iesus Christ to saluation, for such as haue not knowen him in this world. VVherevpon shalbe entrea∣ted the place of Saint Peter, touching the preaching of Iesus Christ vnto the deade, & to the spirits that were de∣teined in prison: & for the end & conclusion of all those matters, the funeralles of purgatory shall be celebrated, and he shalbe buried. For that cause this dialogue is called, the Requiescant in pace of purgatory. For he is deade and bu∣ryed.
