John Trapp on John 11:44

Verſe 44. And he that was dead] But where was his ſoul therewhile? In manu Dei: not in Purgatory as Papiſts ſay, for that's againſt their own principles: They ſend none to Purgatory, but men of a middle-make, bewixt juſt and unjuſt. Now Lazarus was, ſurely, a very good man: elſe had he not been ſo dear to Chriſt. But that Purgatory is the Popes invention, as Tindall hath it: Aug de chriet. hear St Anguſtine, Nemo ſe decipiat, fratres: duo enim loca ſunt, & tertius non est viſus. Qui cum Chriſto regnare non meruit, cum diabolo, abſ que dubitatione peribit.
