17. With souls in purgatory it seems necessary that horror should grow less and love increase: You should fear less & love more. 18. It seems unproved, either by reason or Scripture, that they are outside the state of merit, that is to say, of increasing love: It is not proven by the bible that you should not increase your love. 19. Again, it seems unproved that they, or at least that all of them, are certain or assured of their own blessedness, though we may be quite certain of it: It is not proven that you can bless yourself.  31. Rare as is the man that is truly penitent, so rare is also the man who truly buys indulgences, i.e., such men are most rare: It is rare that a person is actually sorry for something.  37. Every true Christian, whether living or dead, has part in all the blessings of Christ and the Church; and this is granted him by God, even without letters of pardon: Someone can be blessed without praying even if your dead. 40. True contrition seeks and loves penalties, but liberal pardons only relax penalties and cause them to be hated, or at least, furnish an occasion [for hating them]: People will be punished for hating someone.  44. Because love grows by works of love, and man becomes better; but by pardons man does not grow better, only more free from penalty: Love is formed by loving. A person that refuses to love will be punished.  54. Injury is done the Word of God when, in the same sermon, an equal or a longer time is spent on pardons than on this Word: If someone is spending more time on pardons than they will be punished  58. Nor are they the merits of Christ and the Saints, for even without the pope, these always work grace for the inner man, and the cross, death, and hell for the outward man: the inner man will get grace the outward man will be punished. 62. The true treasure of the Church is the Most Holy Gospel of the glory and the grace of God : The best thing you can get is grace & glory from God.
