The Turkes also beléeue that the soule is immortall, and that assoone as they are loosed from the bodie, they come either into a place of rest, or of torment. But whether that they did thinke, that soules returned againe into the earth, and roue there too and fro, I could finde no plaine mention thereof in their _Alcaron_. CHAP. II. The Papists doctrine touching the soules of dead men, and the appearing of them. [Sidenote: Papists.] [Sidenote: Iacobus de Cusa.] The Papists in former times haue publikely both taught and written, that those spirites which men somtime sée and heare, be either good or bad angels, or els the soules of those which either liue in euerlasting blisse, or in Purgatory, or in the place of damned persons. And that diuers of them are those soules that craue aide and deliuerance of men. But that this doctrine of theirs, and the whole state therof may be the more euidently perceiued, we will more largely repeate the same out of their owne bookes. =Iacobus de Cusa=, a _Carthusian_ Friar, and Doctor of diuinitie, wrote a booke of yͤ Apparition of soules, after they were seperated fro the bodies: which worke of his, hath in it many superstitious toyes, and was Printed in a Towne belonging to the dominion of _Berna_, named _Burgdrofe_, in the yeare of our Lord, 1475. [Sidenote: Foure places for soules.] Popish writers commenting on the 4. booke of the Maister of Sentences, do appoint foure places to receiue soules, after they are departed from the bodies. Thrée of the which places they say are perpetuall, and one which lasteth but for a time already limitted. [Sidenote: Heauen.] [Sidenote: Hell.] [Sidenote: Limbus puerorum which is a place wher the Papistes imagine the soules of yong childrē to be, which departed without Baptisme.] [Sidenote: Purgatorie.] The first place or receptacle is _Cælum Empireum_, the firie heauen, so termed of his passing great brightnesse and glory, which they say is the seate ordeined for yͤ blissed sort: this place by an other name in scripture is called =Paradise=. The second place is Hell vnder the earth, being the Mansion of Diuels and Infidels, departing hence in deadly sinne, without repentance. The third place they tearme _Limbus puerorum_, which is prouided as well for the children of the faithfull, as of the vnfaithfull: who (they say) shall continually abyde there without any sense of payne, being only depriued from the fruition of Gods presence. And therefore they say, that after their death, they ought not to be buried in holy buriall. The fourth place is Purgatorie, which is prepared for them that departe hence without deadly sinne, or if they committed any such sinnes, did some penance for them, but yet made not full satisfaction for them, or else went hence only stained with venial sin.
