DOctor Bilson in his sermon booke against Maister Iacob , folio 419. fumeth thus : First then tell your abettor that all the Realme will take him not onely for a rayler against all honestie , but a lier against all duty that voucheth so cōfidentlie : King Edward the sixt and his subiectes helde that Christ his soule never went to Gehenna : and the Realm knoweth the Qu. oath , as also the Q. adventureth her eternall state . These be no states to come within his vncleane mouth . He may doe well to remember who they be of whom it is written : They despise governement : and speake ill of them that be in authoritie , as raginge waves of the sea , foming out their owne shame . Thus the D. writeth . Marke now the Zurich confession , which K. Edw. and Queene Eliz. allowed . Per inferos intelligimus non locum supplicij designatum impijs , sed defunctos fideles , quemadmodum per superos adhuc superstites in vitâ . Proinde anima Christi descendit ad inferos , id est , delata est in sinum Abrahae : in quo collecti fuerunt omnes defuncti fideles . Ergo cum Latroni secum crucifixo dixit , hodie mecum eris in Paradiso , promisit ei consortium vitae , & beatorum spirituum . Licet enim Dominus descendisse dicatur , fit tamen ex more loquendi . Confitemur in hoc articulo animas esse immortales , easue protinus à morte corporeâ transire ad vitam . This is the Zurick confession , allowed by King Edward and Qu. Elizabeth : So Descending must be graunted to be Ascending , and Hell to be Paradise . If our Bishops misse in termes , they must blame them selves : and not rage with hereticall Satanean madnes vpon such as force them to faith . Now what grace the D. hath in his wordes , all may soone iudge : considering what him selfe graunteth : and how in his escape afterwardes he differeth from all the worlde . This was the question : Whether our Lords soule went hence to Gehenna : or hence to Paradise : Iohn Cant. and all vexed by him know that , and for one of these two opinions the Princes religion was to be esteemed . And if I. C. had invented a going from Paradise to Gehenna , Geneveans would haue renowned him over the world . Now marke how rightly the right reverend Father and Doctor taketh of him selfe the lye vnto him selfe , fol 219. We haue no warrant in the word of God so to fasten Christs soule vnto Hell for the time of his death , that it might not be in Paradise before it descended into Hell. Now Iohn Cant. will graunt , that he damneth them both : and iustifieth the adversary , as a Greeke Epistle printed at Hannawe required Sir Iohn Fortescue once Queene Elizabeths greek Reader , to determine , whether both Bishops were not condemned most certeinly by their owne graunt . The ridiculous feigning of a new Satanean fable that our Lord went from Paradise to Gehenna : and to Hades , as from Paulls to London , from Winchester to England , from England to Europe , frō Europe to this world , from part to the whole : and againe , the fable that he went not to Hades , that is , in trueth , to the world of soules , till his body was buried : and again his feigning thrise , at Paules , Hades in S. Matthew , cap. 5. twise , with 10. once , where Gehenna is the text , perverting the originall with wresting Scriptures and Fathers to an opinion that neuer came into holy mindes , this excuseth not his Lye , but augmenteth his impiety : that befooleth all Scriptures of God , and all Divines that ever have bene in the world . Cursed be he that maketh the blinde wander out of the way , and let all the people say , Amen .

I. C. was advised in a worke dedicated to Queene Elizabeth and to the most Noble , our King now , That he should not burne for Gehennaes honour , least he burned in Geheaenaes shame for ever and ever : At the first he skoffed all trueth of God and the King : but being taught how he was caught in his owne syllogisme thus : The place which our Lordes soule went to hence , telleth what Hades ( his HELL ) meaneth in the Creede : But Paradise is the place which our Lord went to hence : Therefore Paradise is the HELL of the Creed , being taught how he was caught , he sent his Chaplayne M. Greffrey King , obteyning the Queenes hand for his leaue , to agree with his adversarie : and he vpon agreement , returned presently , saying that he should be sent againe : but presently after he came home , hee would write . Conditions were not kept . The libell was still solde : and Machmadisme was in it : and a contumelious mockage of Christ and all Christians & Iewes : when he said Ruben the Iewe his Ebrew Epistle was forged : whereby he hindred the defence of Christianitie , and deserved rooting out ▪ Besides that , after the King was ours , Paules sold the treason of the libel . For not stāding to his covenant , three Greeke Orations plaid vpon him : and one dedicated to the King and Brettish nation in Queene Elizabets dayes : And after all , this Epistle . At the first sight he laid the blame on Bar Lo , that vsurped his auctoritie , as being guiltles : yet when at the Court a Duke shewed what he had done , he fell as dead , & soone died . The party greeued was much greeued at his death : because he had protested he never spake against him . Yet as Ely , so he by softnes paid for others blame : while he repressed not bad soules . And his Gentlemen wished Bar Lo vnborne : as more griefe to the Archbishop then all that ever were his adversaries : not only for his libel against the Scottish mist : full of most deadly treason : and full of blaspemy and lying against God and man : But also for his Satanean declamation at Paules against the best Nobilitie , and the best bent for the good of the State : against whom the Iscariot railed and raged : whereby the Nobilitie iustly terme him : The vilest that is this day vnder the cope of heaven : as bent against God , the King , the Nobilitie , and all humanitie . So Bar Lo will be his notation .

MAISTER Francis Hall told that your G. depriued M. Pickaerd and him of their benefices , and gaue both to Bar Lo ( whom he described after his name , a babe most bad ) for defending your Gehenna : which haeresie of yours was vsed for a barr , that you were not fit to confirme others , who so erred your selfe : against all the Bible , all Greekes and Hebrewes . That the children whiche you would haue confirmed and you together may be truly firmed herein , behold your owne graunt in D. Bilson : to whom in Bar Lo his booke , your grace & wisedome referreth the vnlearned for a learned defence of your minde : which held that the Creed telleth whether our Lordes soule went hence . And this is your Proposition & myne too : and you will aduenture your eternall state vpon it , and I myne . This it is : The Place into which our Lordes soule went hence , is Hades or Hell of the Creede . This position is built vpon a rocke : that no storme , windes , nor waues can shake it . And if we agree to what place our Lord his soule went hence , we agree what Hades or your Hell is in the Creede . Nowe to your Proposition , this assumption D. Bilson layeth downe , fol●o 219. Paradise is the place to which our Lord went hence . Therefore by your owne graūt Hades or Hell in the Creede is Paradise . Seeing then the whole tenour of Moses and the Gospell , cannot mooue you : seeing the vniversall iudgement of the Hebrewes for their owne tongue , can not mooue you : seeing 3000. yeares heathen Greeke cannot mooue you : and Eulogines Patriarcha 1200. yeres old , with all other Christian Greekes which doe place Abraham in Hades , can not mooue you , and seeing the Zurick confession , which sayth , per Inferos intelligimus non locum supplicij designatum impijs , sed defunctos fideles , & sinum Abrahae can not mooue you , let your owne confession mooue you : and publish it in print , that the simple deceaued by you , may know how you led them to deny that our Lorde went through the vaile of his flesh into the most holy . Which they that will denie , may as well denie all religion and trueth of God. You haue most highly iniuried the Maiestie of God : pretendinge that Sheol Psal . 16. was the Devils lodge , which no Ebrew euer thought , neither suffreth Moses to thinke : contemning the Gospell for the hand of God receaving the holy soule of our Lord : pervertinge sorowes of death into the second death , Act. 2. to befooll all Christianitie , turning Saint Paul to Gehennean darknes : where he purposelie speaketh of the Gospells brightnes : in these three iniuries you staine all the Bible , while you make some iarr from all the rest , and befoole the most holy Writers . This your sinne is haynous . So your despising of Ebrew DD. For their owne tongue , wil be holden of the Scottish mist and Brettish nation , and all nations a brutish parte . and no lesse the reiecting of Heathen Greeke , for the Creede penned for heathen : and your restrayning of Greeke only to Poets : and your teaching as generall that Hades in them is vgly , this your learning wil be holden babish . Also where D. Bilson reiecteth the world of soules , as checking all Iewes in their owne tongue , his wrangling was senseles : that he knew no place where soules were togeather . Hath he euer seene in this world all bodyes togeather ; other saw them not , yet the speach , this world is currant with all men . And for Hades Macedones call it Heaven . Portus Dictionarie would haue taught you so much , though you sought no deeper Graetians . And in Clemens Alexandrinus , Hades is Iuppiter . To your blame for denying the lxx . in Psal . 110. a warrant for the New Test . Greeke , you say nothing , as damned . And D. Bilson saith : the Greeke Fathers vnderstood not Josephs Haden . Such owles you bring to Athens : and make your Witgifte a scoph to all learned . Also you answer nothing to your blame for saying , that it were better the trueth of Daniel were hid , then antiquitie should be disgraced for missing . Others thought it a gracelesse speach . So when you condemne Saint Paul for cursing Ananias , which thing he was bound to doe , by expresse lawes , for stryking treacherouslie , and misleading the blind , you check Christ that promised a mouth that no adversarie could resist , and befoole Moses for making a defence for an open impudent iudge . The blind , the deafe , the officers may not lightly be cursed : but in open wilfulnes they be cursed , as Saul of Dauid , and Sedechias of Ezechiel , and the Pharises . Mat. 23. Herein you stand at the mercy of God. Moreover touching . Abraham Ruben the Iew , you haue iniuried Christ our Lord , & all Christians most wickedly . If he had not bene answered , all Christians had bene worse thought of . Now he & all the Iewes in the Empire speak better of Christianity . And some by that haue bene baptized : and one D. told that he would be baptized and come to Englande : he is the man that prefaced to Aruc . So a rare learned Iew , to whō at Basil one gaue Rubens epistle , and shewed the apostles Thalmudicall rare skil , he made request to the Professours , when the party was gone , to desire him to returne to instruct him more fully : ( but the party could not ) and afore requested his teacher to translate into Ebrew , as he spake to him , the new Testament . This deserued better then your language . You say the party feigned that whiche is written of his praise : and scoph his skil in Ebrew and Greeke : and terme him an asse , and offre all disgrace . For all , Christians & Iewes should thinke you vnworthy to haue the benefit of Christian policie . And as you know you haue the Anathema maran Atha giuen you . It returneth to the giuer if you deserue it not . If your desert be doubtles , you are surely miserable : as in your perpetual vntruthes and misvsing of the Realmes authoritie to Satans slavery . So when you scophed the hope in the Scottish mist , and the Brittish nation , what meant you but to endeuor to set millions to kill one another . Six yeres Beza noised a Testament bent badly , and Geneua meant to kill one for leaning on the Scottish mist : as three Scottes there then tolde the party : and Beza wrote much alike to your old head . Yet the party boldly printed the Scottish mist then to be his King. And now with what face can you looke for any good subiect , who knowes the blessing of the Scottish mist turned to a shyning sunne ever to wish you well : after your so great endevour to overthrow your owne nation ; The Brettish nation would , as Davids 37. worthies , haue layde their life in their hands for their lefull Prince , then and now most deare King. And wisheth you , after pardon , to be an harty subiect . Great cause you haue .
