The Christian Disputations, Dialogue 6 · Argument
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 purgatory: to the which Theophilus anſwereth, and expoundeth them after the true ſence of the ſcripture: and confuteth the falſe interpretacions of the Sophiſters: and declareth many good pointes and places of the holy ſcripture. 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 manifeſtation of Ieſus Chriſt to ſaluation, for ſuch as hauehave not knowen him in this world. VVherevpon ſhalbe entreated the place of Saint Peter, touching the preaching of Ieſus Chriſt vntounto the deade, & to the ſpirits that were deteined 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 buryed.
