THE SIXTY—SEVEN ARTICLES OF ZWINGLI

ABOUT PURGATORY.

LVII. The true divine Scriptures know nothing about purgatory after this life.
LVIII. The sentence of the dead is known to God only.
LIX. And the less God has let us know concerning it, the less we should undertake to know about it.
LX. That mankind earnestly calls to God to show mercy to the dead I do not condemn, but to determine a period of time therefore (seven years for a mortal sin), and to lie for the sake of gain, is not human, but devilish.

Quotes:

which accounts for a number of otherwise suprising marriages.

 Diary of an Old Soul-MacDonald

     Thou art the Lord of life, the secret thing.
     Thou wilt give endless more than I could find,
     Even if without thee I could go and seek;
     For thou art one, Christ, with my deepest mind,
     Duty alive, self-willed, in me dost speak,
     And to a deeper purer being sting:
     I come to thee, my life, my causing kind.
